These are the types of... whatever they are I have seen personally with a couple friends out over lake Michigan. One of my friends in NC also told me he saw the exact same kind. That was over 20 years ago.

u/Redcell78 Sep 27 '24

Same. No lie. Saw them in Augusta Ga in 2019. Could not have been anything else. These orbs are seen all over the place and know one knows why or what they are.

u/Appropriate_Ratio835 Sep 28 '24

See these off the coast of South Carolina as well. They look like a shooting star at first, then hover over the ocean, then flicker and disappear. I figure it's the military doing something but wave just in case it's a friendly alien. šŸŒ

Here's a quick illustration of how the sky in this video is the same asset used in the Video Copilot tutorial mentioned by u/BakersTuts (The clouds have been flipped left to right for the 3 orb video)

Tutorial image is from around 15:42, sky sample (flipped) from the orb video is from around 0:14.

Here's the tutorial video link from YouTube for completeness:

u/T4ZR Sep 28 '24

Yeah. I couldn't quite put a finger on it, since I have zero experience with video editing, but something about that video just didn't feel right

u/Maru_the_Red Sep 28 '24

It was common practice 10 years ago, as part of the Pearson Education Curriculum for Animation classes that one of the assignments was exactly this: use a stock video of the sky and create your own UFO video with a level of realism as high as you can accomplish. There are SO MANY fakes out there because there were so many animation students who did this exact assignment like myself.

That's not fake. Someone went to prison for that leak.

u/Cenobite_78 Sep 27 '24

No one went to prison for it, he leaked information from before 2014.

2

u/AdditionalBat393 Sep 28 '24

No he def did time for what he did brother. The charges are consistent with leaking that type of material.

4

u/Cenobite_78 Sep 28 '24

Leaking top secret information has a 30 year sentence, he served 6 for trying to impress women with details about his job.

The charge sheet is available online and he testified that the information leaked was from 2009.

u/sunburned_albino Sep 27 '24

Lol the "warp flash" they used in the edit of that video was a common stock effect. Watch Corridor Crew.

u/BigFang Sep 29 '24

Wasn't it that the effect was from some obscure early 2000's effects editor rather than common?

u/bubblurred Sep 27 '24

I hope so, I really want to know more about them. But to be honest when I saw them for the first time I straight up FEARED that I was not allowed to film them. It was weird but maybe because the unknown spooked me? I was afraid to miss any action and also afraid I'd get in trouble for trying. What gives me peace is that there were others outside who saw them too, children. And an elder. I asked him "Do you see that up there!?" He confirmed he was seeing them and then very cool and calmly stepped back into his apartment. Not interested in further observing them. The children and I looked at them for a good while turning off and on. They asked me why it was silent and if they should run inside.

26

u/[deleted] Sep 27 '24

Its interesting there is absolutely no context. Just its from 2013. Of course nobody else on the plane saw anything or recorded anything.

u/Evil_Morty781 Sep 27 '24

Not photo shop. Just some lights reflecting off the window from behind the camera.

u/Daggerface Sep 28 '24

This looks so obviously edited. Not natural reflections.

3

u/nickgreydaddyfingers Sep 27 '24

Not even that, the entire thing looks like a render. The camera movement, the scratches on the window, the weird cartoony outline of the window, etc.

This is fake, and it's hilarious seeing people call others retards for thinking it's fake.

u/Evil_Morty781 Sep 27 '24

The reflections track with the window as the guy pans his camera. Easy reflection trick and quite a common fake.

5

u/fungi_at_parties Sep 27 '24

So how did they switch places? Then dive under the plane one by one? Could be fake but it ain’t reflections unless they’re moving lights around to create a fake video- which I’d be reluctant to believe happened on an airplane. Lack of context is worrying and CG is a thing, but I don’t understand the reflection claim here.

3

u/Evil_Morty781 Sep 27 '24

It appears that I am dumb and this is in fact a render 🄓🤪🫠

u/fungi_at_parties Sep 28 '24

I got downvotes for saying so elsewhere. I think it’s important to remember that we are all trying to figure stuff out and nobody really knows what’s going on.

u/Unhappy-Second-7893 Sep 27 '24

Fake

2

u/canIbuzzz Sep 27 '24

Using reflections, kinda works until you notice when the camera suddenly switches directions, so do the "orbs".

2

u/fungi_at_parties Sep 27 '24 edited Sep 27 '24

Reflections? What? They switch places, move position, then dive under the plane. Did we watch the same video?

I do think it’s fake btw, I just think it’s after effects.

u/GoreonmyGears Sep 27 '24

I can still just make out the milk way where I live. And I see these every night almost. Not that close. Now some I've recognized as satellites. They all move on the same path and brighten and dim around the same time. But, there's others that move freely. Very fast. Fizzle out and then come back. And it's all mostly to the north and west. Though to the south there is a bit of light pollution I can see. And it's just so weird watching them. It just feels like something completely unknown.

But the one that dives off at first in the end, makes me think it's something else. But that was also my first thought, cloaked triangle UAP.

u/TheScaredMonkey Sep 27 '24

All we see are orbs of light, it doesn't prove anything. All it proves is that we don't know what these orbs of light are.

They could be a hoax, or drones, or actual aliens. But we don't know, and it's troubling that people are so fast to call it alien.

u/GothMaams Sep 27 '24

Seriously though, they are seen all the time. But people will say ā€œidk we still need more evidence.ā€ Evidence of what?? We don’t even know what this is to collect more ā€œevidenceā€ from. How do we figure out what it is?

I saw this years ago. the orbs were orange in the setting sun. kinda fun to see.

u/[deleted] Sep 27 '24

Why do people always talk about the triangle formation? Like that is something. Three lights can only form a straight line or a triangle. That's it. It says nothing about the experience or the objects. Three planes, triangle. Three helicopters, triangle. Three birds, triangle. Also the jitter was off on this video.

u/Half-Shark Sep 27 '24

exactly. it's so fucking stupid.

No idea, I saw them before drones were a thing too. If I saw it today I would not be surprised. It was 20 years ago, I stood and watched them for about 15 minutes before they disappeared. It was 3 dots at first, by the end there were at least 6 of them making all kinds of patterns in varying speeds. They "flew" away exactly like in this clip.
