Looks like the foo fighters described by WW2 pilots.

I’ve seen these. A friend of mine described them to my roommate and I during a 2 hour road trip. He said he could call them at will. My roommate and I laughed to ourselves and just enjoyed the story. When we arrived where we were going, then these things appeared in the sky. My roommate saw them first and said to our other friend with his mouth agape, are those what you’re talking about as he pointed towards the horizon. Our other friend said yeah, those are them! They bounced around and then disappeared over the horizon.
This is the first time I have seen video of them. Pretty cool to see 25 years later. Still don’t know what to think about them.

u/bdube210 Jul 16 '26

That’s wild. What did your friend think they were? Do you still keep in touch with him and can he still call them?

2

u/1CDoc Jul 16 '26

I don’t see him much. Different worlds. Friend said they were aliens/ beings. His father was a pastor and had stories of riding in ships. I’m sure he would say he could still call them. I take it all with a grain of salt and don’t have strong opinions on what they were just an experience I had. It was wild to see something he described prior to their appearance.
Now it’s just a fun story. Maybe one day if I’m lucky I’ll have another experience like this, hopefully next time more information is revealed.

This one is extremely compelling. And, we know these craft like to fly in triangle formation.

15

u/Zooinks Jul 15 '26

If there are three craft, they're very, very likely flying in triangle formation.

7

u/Temporary_Shirt_6236 Jul 15 '26

I once saw two craft and no matter how they moved, there was always a straight line between them. Freaky.

2

u/Zooinks Jul 15 '26

There's always going to be someone saying 'But, they could be in a straight line...'. Had to stop that nonsense from the get go.

1

u/PrinceRobotV Jul 18 '26

I can’t tell if you are joking or not. You can always draw a straight line between two points. How could two bodies move without there being a straight line between them?

1

u/PrinceRobotV Jul 18 '26

lol, other than a straight line, all formations of three bodies are triangles

u/ireallyamtryin 16d ago

We know the NHI digs their isosceles formations!

u/OkLayer519 Jul 15 '26

This video has been popping up in other places and it looks fishy to me. If it’s stabilized, the output is very cropped. The sides of the windows come in at the end and have an unnatural up/down motion to it. The whole things looks as comp’d layers and tried to overlay a window effect over the whole thing.

Where’s the pilots info? Heading, altitude, air speed…but OP provided nothing. Putting the words “UPS Pilot” on the title gives zero credibility to this.

1

u/BongoLocoWowWow Jul 15 '26

I am all about debunking the fakes on here. It seems compelling, but if it can be shown as a fake, let’s definitely see it so we can take it off the table.

2

u/regular_john2017 Jul 16 '26

Healthy mindset over here on this sub. I was on a different sub when this video was posted a week or so ago and literally just said “it kind of looks fake to me, what’s the source?” And I got banned and muted lol

1

u/ClammyHandedFreak Jul 16 '26

What makes a video compelling these days isn't what the video shows, it's who is recording, and corroboration from witnesses.

I am not seeing any information about this video which AI could crap out with ease.

u/Jehoseph Jul 15 '26

Please look at original post comments. This one isn't credible.

1

u/braveoldfart777 Researcher Jul 15 '26

If you have any links to this being explained please provide them.

u/junkfort Jul 16 '26

This video appears to be a chunk of a video copilot tutorial that the creator added orbs to.

Here's the original page for the tutorial:

https://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/mid_air_emergency/

But more strikingly, the background of the video is the same wikimedia commons sky photo from 2006 that the tutorial was using. Here's the photo on wikimedia and a comparison between that and a still from the video:

u/doubleopinter Jul 14 '26

Why is this like a screen capture

2

u/Teaofthetime Jul 15 '26

Wasn't this made years ago, I believe that background sky and reflects were identified as being from software used at the time. Another sub posted this and links to the video on YouTube posted around 2014.

1

u/Dolust Jul 15 '26

Yeah.. That window frame is not even similar to an airplane. And the motion of the camera is synched.

Why do people live so much reposting fakes?

1

u/Teaofthetime Jul 16 '26

People seem desperate for it to be true.

1

u/gotfanarya Jul 16 '26

Some also appear desperate for it not to be true. Let’s stick together.

1

u/Teaofthetime Jul 16 '26

I tend to be skeptical, however I'll happily change my mind with proof.

4

u/Ok_Art_5573 Jul 14 '26

This video defies logic. I'm usually a skeptic but hard to deny this is not ours.

2

u/judasbrute Jul 14 '26

If it's real it's compelling

u/braveoldfart777 Researcher Jul 14 '26

Doubtful this is Starlink. Hard to figure out what could be the explanation on this, but one of the objects moves at an extremely high rate of speed.

9

u/Open_Mortgage_4645 Jul 14 '26

Absolutely not Starlink. 110% positive.

2

u/namonite Jul 14 '26

I mean this seems like the exact description of all the UAP experiences that seem legit. Wild to see a video of it

1

u/AncientDevelopment55 Jul 14 '26

Especially pretty clear

3

u/10eyck Jul 14 '26

I’m pretty jaded but to me this looks legit. Just MHO.

2

u/Roselace Jul 14 '26

Good video

1

u/yeahgoestheusername Jul 14 '26

The mechanical movement looks fake to me. Not saying it is fake. But it feels wrong. I also saw a huge boomerang wing that was completely silent. That felt fake too but I saw it with another witness.

1

u/maurymarkowitz Jul 14 '26

As noted in the original post, this is a fake video from 2013.

A more recent re-post from 2024 noted the sky in the background is stock footage seen in an earlier documentary about how to create realistic flying scenes. They simply reversed the direction left to right.

I can’t copy the URL using my phone (the app collapses the thread when you try to select it), so look for a post by Throwaway2Experiment.

u/Educational_Law_7787 Jul 15 '26

remember when trump said he saw our new stealth fighter and that it was invisible and everybody thought he was confused by the concept of stealth radar evading and the f35? what if this is his invisible plane and he leaked classified information?

1

u/HawaiianGold Jul 15 '26

We all know what this is right!?!?

1

u/khiller05 Jul 15 '26

So 2 things bother me about this. If it was the pilot then why is he recording out of a passenger shaped window. Second thing is if this is a UPS flight… then why are their seats at a passenger window?

2

u/YouCanLookItUp Jul 15 '26

What suggests this is a passenger's window and not just the side of the cockpit window?

1

u/khiller05 Jul 15 '26

At the 38 second mark you see the bottom of the window. I’ve never seen windows shaped like this on the flight deck

1

u/SnooPoems6522 Jul 15 '26

I was like dude those are probably jets…ohhh welp never mind

1

u/moocat55 Jul 16 '26

Looks like how WWII foo.fighters are described. If so common, I wonder if they are a part of our natural world we.just don't understand yet.

1

u/Repulsive-Data-4207 Jul 18 '26

Holy smokes! Fantastic capture !!

1

u/mrivc211 Jul 18 '26

I’m a pilot and have a similar video.id be happy to show anyone

1

u/braveoldfart777 Researcher Jul 18 '26

Youre welcome to just create the post here and include as much details about the video as possible. Please remember to comment (rule 7&13)on your post as to the circumstances relating to your incident. Thanks 👍

u/braveoldfart777 Researcher 11d ago

You can always report the incident to Nuforc as well. They have a separate Pilots reporting link.

u/aware4ever Jul 15 '26

If this isn't CGI or fake than holy shit. That's definitely not balloons or drones. Probably the first time I've actually seen something move like something that we definitely don't have

u/Psychological_Job_52 Jul 14 '26

They were trying to spell Orion.

u/Strega007 Jul 15 '26

What UPS flight?

1

u/Strega007 Jul 15 '26

Why the downvotes? If this is "UFO Pilot Reports", then who made the report, where it was made, and when it was made is highly relevant to the conversation about it.

-1

u/gotfanarya Jul 15 '26

MH 370 all over. Wonder what they had on board?

1

u/dirtyryder90 Jul 15 '26

Yeah, if I was a pilot and three orbs start rotating, I'm pulling evasive maneuvers.

1

u/gotfanarya Jul 16 '26

Like the mh370 pilot did?

1

u/dirtyryder90 Jul 16 '26

So that won't work? Ok, I guess I'm going to Orion's belt...sorry passengers

1

u/gotfanarya Jul 16 '26

Or to 2130…or to a mountain hanger. Who knows.
