Good thinking by the youngster to run in and grab the camera...

Interesting, but again it could be just about anything.

It's apparently a hoax....... Mylar balloons.

Its clearly disk shaped, but no idea what it could be.

A problem I have with alot of UFO video's that are blue air with the UFO in it is that you don't have any points of reference to make up speeds, altitudes and stuff like that from.

Theres only a few UFO video's where you have decent ground reference.

A nice video definatly, but not of much use to get any data out.

what a BS website why is it freaking quicktime, not all of us have that crappy program.

"SHAMOOOONNNNEE.......Take me to your leader!!!!!"

For the record I think quicktime is a very good format to use for videos like this. It works both on Mac and PC. (PC users do have to download the player I guess, but it is free).

The other thing with quicktime is that you can play it frame by frame, and shuttle backwards and forwards easily, something you can't often do in Windows Media Player, (and certainly not in Real Media)

also WMV/RM files are incompatible with many image editing and enhancement tools, so it's not easy to enhance or analyze the footage closely.

yea but i already have like 3 other better programs that work fine, i dont want to have 3 different video playing formats.

ARRGHH...Der Kapitan is correct...Turned out to be a large Mylar Balloon.I should have been more careful in my thread title and included "possible" UFO.Sigh,my bad.

Eh, don't worry about it. I have recently made a few faux pas to the extent that I'm a little gunshy about posting any more. Went so far as to request removal from membership from SkepticOverlord. He obviously hasn't as yet, maybe he sensed I was being hasty. I'm gonna change my avatar to a dunce cap.

LOL,sometimes we jump to conclusions in our excitement.Just need to sit back,take a deep breath BEFORE I hit that final 'submit' button.HAHA

Non UFO in MO

11thD, not aimed as an insult. But the link above that discredits the UFO says it is a mylar disk..... what exactly is a mylar disk? Sorry, but still new to all of this.

I think that was a typo,mylar disks are usually quite tiny,like 1-2 inches in diameter.I believe they meant a mylar balloon.Its sort of a flattened out,metallic looking object,usually filled with helium,just like a normal balloon.Just different in shape,material and reflectivity.

Hahah I can see it now, "holy crap! there's a spiderman UFO in the sky!
Aliens are among us!!!"

Ha Ha - in a different posting, I asked about what is a standard camera to have around to try and capture a sighting. Hmmmm, I think my Polaroid would work on one of those disks......

hee hee hee

Very nice video about a Space Ship...

i bought one of those things, they are so awesome when u use it outside. how the hell did one get that high. they filled mine up with helium but it didnt float that high, the plasic and foil heald it down. did they drop it off a plane or somethin?
