I think it's safe to say this was an helicopter. Check the comparison with video frame
from minute 1:12





That's what i see when zoomed in. Video in motion; You can see the blades moving on top and bottom gear as well. Kinda used to the shape as I seen those creeping around where I live quite a bit.

You may want to take a look at this thread

www.abovetopsecret.com...

longer version of the video-says it was shot in California

thread also has a link to a blimp that's currently flying in that area

or a flying fish.... jus saying

I don't think you're actually far from the truth. I was wondering if any of these would make an appearance in any 'UFO' videos.



I think you would be able to hear a helicopter if it were that close. And a blimp should have navigation lights, although they may not be visible with the given lighting conditions. But I think someone's christmas present just escaped. They travel silently and will drift in the slightest breeze. Beware, the floating shark

They have been making headlines here in NZ, as some have been spotted by passing aircraft pilots amongst many stories of their crafty escapes. Here's a recent article about them.

Here is a better version



And NO it's NOT Germany. I've lived there for 28 Years. The stores you see, (THE BIKE, Volvo Specialists) are not German and the people in the vid are not speaking german! Let alone the germans speaking proper english.. lol

am I the only one who notices there are three of these things in the sky? How did the cameraman miss that?

I am going to put my case forward as to why I don't believe this is a helicopter. And don't worry, I'm not claiming it's a Sumerian space craft, but I am 99% sure I know what it is and I will show why. I posted earlier but will try to explain better now that I am home and can post pics. Here is probably the best screenshot I could get off the 720p version to explain my reasoning.


First off, if a helicopter was this close, I believe you would be able to hear it unless it had some sort of stealth technology (may exist, but unlikely it would ever be in this location). Secondly I believe the profile doesn't quite fit a helicopter, although it does indeed look like one. In this pic the tail is slightly blurred, but I believe the tail is too short compared to the overall body to be a conventional chopper. Also, you never see any lights flashing which would be a requirement in SoCal, where I believe this video was taken.

Now on to my suspected culprit...


These air swimmers have been a popular Christmas gift, and many have inevitably escaped the confines of an indoor area. I believe these inconspicuous, helium filled 'air swimmers' fit the profile of the object almost perfectly.

Previous posters have stated that they thought they could see the skids of a helicopter. I believe that these are the pectoral fins, as can be seen in the top pic. I believe others also thought they could see a rotor hub (but not blades?), and I believe that this is merely the sharks dorsal fin. Also, the shape of the tail of the UFO seems to match the air swimmers tail shape. The dark colour of the shark would also fit the UFO's dark shape in the dull lighting conditions.

The movement of the UFO appears to be rather strange for a helicopter, as it slowly rotates ending up 'backwards' while travelling almost constantly in the same direction. Yet this is a movement that is entirely feasible for an inflatable shark drifting in the light wind. An air swimmer would also be silent, as it seems to be in the OP video.

One could be forgiven for mistaking one of these air swimmers as a helicopter though. Even experienced pilots have mistaken them here in NZ

There I was, just cruising around at about 1500' above Hamilton in a Robin just having an aerial shufti, when I see an object that looks like a helicopter off in the distance. However, without getting much bigger (i.e. closer) it suddenly whizzes past my left wing... and although it has the same general shape as a chopper, this thing has fins and a tail instead of rotors.

It's not a helicopter but actually an Air Swimmer Shark!!

And this wasn't the only time they've been spotted by a pilot.
The first mid-air encounter happened on Boxing Day.

A plane was 10km south of Christchurch at about 600m on a landing approach when it passed within 100m of a shark, said Civil Aviation Authority spokeswoman Emma Peel.

I'm willing to listen to anyone who can refute my propositions or propose a more likely alternative. But until then, I'm going with air swimmer

Nope, you're not. But those other two blobs are insulators on the backstay wires of the pole. You notice them at least if you pay attention and know what to look for.

Once these things take to the air, there will be no stopping them. Nowhere is safe!
