So don't bother with mis-labelling it as a hoax.
These spots are caused by dirt or dust adhering to the cameras low-pass filter which covers and protects the cameras image sensor. Digital SLR cameras are designed to be used with interchangeable lenses and foreign matter may enter the camera when lenses are removed or exchanged. Dust may also enter the camera if a zoom lens is attached to the camera. Zooming the lens forces air through the lens and into the camera body meaning that dust may also be bought into the camera body.

What huh? The 2 (actually just one) jet objects are probably a jet, yes. Planes fly at a high altitude, yes. That would mean they are likely to be transatlantic, yes. If military, any type - because any plane at such an altitude would produce a contrail. And that's clearly just one contrail and one jet. Why do you suspect it's a double contrail? Do you not look at high altitude jetliners? Contrails occur at the wingtips. And there are two wings on a plane.
The black dot looks like a black dot. The term "footage" is also pretty lame considering its actually just a couple of photos. The video uploader is making mountains out of molehills, and you're not helping! Really think you should go and watch some planes before asking those initial set of (rather poor) questions. No harm in sharing a video, but this one is pretty
No trUFO here I'm afraid.
Woops - replied too soon.
Thanks for your take on it.
I didn't present it as the next greatest ufo footage of all time.
It was noted as we haven't noticed jets flying that high in these skies, and if they are flying at high altitudes, the underside is usually visible - when ever we have noticed, to be most clear.
Thanks for your answer.

Well that can't be true. The first line of the video says "I took a photo and enhanced it."edit on 30-4-2012 by markymint because: (no reason given)
- couldn't be bugs it was winter
- I was told the lens was clean, and these objects didn't appear in the other photos
- the objects are all perfectly round
- why do they appear to be shaped in to a triangle??

Sure. Objects in the photos I believe are definitely there, it's not hard to take a photo of a high altitude jetliner + contrail But the video has also been monetized, which is never a good sign in this field. I just don't know what you're asking of us - the first image is quite clearly a jetliner, the dark blob is quite clearly a closer object out of focus or a smudge on the lens. You even seem to know that in your initial post .^^
- The video was monetized because of the audio used.
- I placed the question of the "probable" jets, as we had not noticed them of that shape and height before.
- The reply re: blimps, from what I have seen online since seems to fit the shape of the craft
- couldn't be bugs it was winter

Nonsense IMO. If these things were spotted on viewing the photos, I'm not convinced you or they can be positive the lens was clean at the time they were taken. Yes, the photographer may have cleaned the lens, but as a camera user myself, you can clean once and three seconds later it's got dust on it again. And bugs exist all year round, hell you even get bumblebees at Christmas. At least, in this country you do!
- the objects are all perfectly round
- why do they appear to be shaped in to a triangle??
What? I'm not sure if you're calling the objects round triangles or if there are objects there I can't see that are forming a triangle. Either way I know you're not presenting the world's best UFO footage, far from it - you're presenting a monetized photo montage of....extremely normal not very strange at all thingsedit on 30-4-2012 by markymint because: (no reason given)

I see the same planes outside of my work every afternoon. Maybe I'll bring my wife's camera and take some pics, and post so we can see the difference. Though some times they have a contrail sometimes they don't. I think my coworker thinks I'm crazy, because I stare at the sky when every I get some down time. Oh yeah, I live in the sunshine state so that maybe why I see so many of these aircraft.
