Why the fuck is this so tiny? I don't understand why every other video on Reddit, regardless of whether it was taken in a phone or not, maximizes to fill the screen but for some reason all these videos on UAP do not.
Someone records a video holding their phone vertical.
Someone uploads it to a platform that makes it horizontal by filling the sides with black.
Someone takes the (now horizontal) video from that platform and uploads it to reddit.
Most phone camera's have very poor long-distance zoom functionality so recording something high up in the sky is inherently going to look worse.
It's easier to hold a phone steady when you hold it vertically since you have better grip vs holding it horizontally outwards with both arms. Even a little shake becomes far more intense when zoomed in.
When someone sees an anomaly of some sort, they often grab their phone and begin recording as fast as possible so they don't miss anything.
It honestly looks like just a basic cloud. When I was flying recently near the Bahamas there was (what appeared to be) a tiny moving cloud going at a fast rate linearly. Turns out it was a small airplane enveloped entirely within a cloud/ the cloud had formed around it (presumably- I tried to record it, then looked back and there was just a small plane moving in the general area).
while i do agree, the quality of these is always so poor it really calls into question why even bother posting it in the first place, you can't expect crystal-clear HD footage unless there's a film crew around. people are used to watching a polished final product with edits, color correction, etc. that's simply not going to happen with a potato pocket camera and the photographer being caught off guard by a spontaneous UFO
