So you think that tiny little quadcopter would look the same at the distance the video in the OP was shot from? You think you would even be able to see it?

However it is insulting to everyone's intelligence to call it an RC or debris.
Insulting to everyone's intelligence ...really ?
We don't know the wind speed in the OP video but I don't see no twister and it don't sound that windy .

I'm failing to see how searching for possible explanations would be considered "nonsense". And reasonable points were made I may add.

Appears to be a plastic bag floating in the wind gusts.
I know it is a WILD idea that it could be something mundane and not a CRAFT, but, seems to me I have seen tarps, but not any alien crafts.....yet.

You wouldn't see the Moon or a Star through that cloud bank but you would see an RC copter with lights which is what I think it could be , other than that... Aliens

Do weather balloons have the ability to navigate against the prevailing winds? The clouds are all traveling at a good speed to the right. The object is traveling to the left, against the prevailing winds. So unless weather balloons are remote controllable and have propulsion, it's not a weather balloon either.
I said it is a UFO. I also said it's unknown where it originated from. However it is insulting to everyone's intelligence to call it an RC or debris. It clearly is neither.

It is certainly a craft
It could be a flying pink elephant too I guess. I'm sure we'll never know.

What I find insulting is questioning someone's intelligence simply because you do not agree with their possible explanation. I didn't see a response above saying that there is a definitive answer except for yours. A UFO (terrestrial or otherwise) is a fairly safe explanation. Thumbs up for that, well thought out.
Moving on...
My guess that it may have been a piece of debris is based on the fact that there was high winds in that area. Does wind move in a linear motion at all times? I don't think so. It's safe to assume that it is possible for debris to move erratically.

Come on man, that kind of sarcastic ineptitude is exactly the reason this forum has fallen under enhanced scrutiny. Obviously you have a strong opinion regarding this topic, as I have but lets try and have respect for all manner of opinions. I don't want to single you out but the 'pink elephant' remark was a tad asinine, surely you agree?

I think there were a few posts that would appear to not have respect for other peoples intelligence. However I'll admit that a pink flying elephant is probably the least likely object to be flying around during that storm.
Now it is possible cgi. The actual source would have to be looked and then you could rule it out.
It actually came really low a few minutes before I shot this video

If I may, Gortex, Why do you think that it is an RC helicopter?
You used this explanation in another thread recently as well, which as it happens I thought was a fairly descent explanation for that particular video, though not fully air-tight.
I just can't see an enthusiast risking his expensive toy during what is obviously the onset of a severe thunderstorm, if not an obvious tornado. It really does not make sense to me. Perhaps your view could shed light on my doubts.
