Unexplained UFO seen during Indiana Tornado -November 2013

Witness quote:

November 17, 2013 Crazy UFO over Noblesville Indiana! It was EXTREMELY windy (tornados about 8 or so miles away!)and this thing was just zipping around like it was nothing! What is it?

This does not appear to be a helicopter or jet due to the way it moves.

could it be the moon (you can see the moon in daylight) or a star?

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

Very interesting...and definitely a UFO (by definition). I wonder, with so many tornadoes that day in the surrounding area, could it have been some metal debris carried aloft by one of the tornadoes, then kept aloft in the winds up in the clouds? Were there weather monitoring balloons released that day to sample air and wind currents in order to predict new tornadoes?

Nice find OP....S&F.

It's a cow

Interesting footage. Could it have been a piece of debris? You mentioned the high winds.

If that were a piece of debris it would be as large as a house. That was a good distance away and that's rather clear from the video. It's not an RC device either. It would be way too small to see and it would not be able to navigate what are obviously high winds. So stop with the nonsense. It's a UFO. Now is it an extraterrestrial flying craft? That's the debate. It is certainly a craft and not Venus or Jupiter or a Chinese lantern.

Ball lightning is an unexplained atmospheric electrical phenomenon. The term refers to reports of luminous, usually spherical objects which vary from pea-sized to several meters in diameter. It is usually associated with thunderstorms, but lasts considerably longer than the split-second flash of a lightning bolt.

I will roll with some type of weather balloon to monitor wind conditions prior to the tornado hitting. Probably released by a storm chaser.

Why use the term "nonsense" here? Ruling out the mundane possibilities is the first aspect of investigating things, not leaping to wild conclusions from the start. How do you know it had to be "as large as a house"? And it could be a part of a metal/tin roof, which would reflect tremendously, in the light that is clearly visible in the video.

It could also still be a real weather monitoring balloon (I know, a balloon again) but in this case, there is a real reason for one to be there....to collect data in an effort to predict new tornadoes to save peoples lives.

So I jumped to conclusions but people that called it an RC or debris are not jumping to conclusions? OK, got it.

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

Nope , I said it could be an RC which isn't conclusive , you're the one that called it a craft ...

It is certainly a craft and not Venus or Jupiter or a Chinese lantern.

Seems it's you that is jumping to conclusions

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.

Nice find OP. It probably has an extraterrestrial explanation, because terrestrials here prefer easy answers.

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 .

Appears to be a plastic bag floating in the wind gusts.

Looks nothing like a RC helicopter, more like a bird... if birds were orbs.

This idea taken a bit further, could it be a silver plastic tarp (large ones are used to cover roofs during construction)? I've seen them on sale at the hardware store...and being large and reflective, but also very light, could be a possible explanation.

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.
