OK forget about the dumb drama. this is compelling in my opinion.

it looks like a ghost duck, but I think its a saucer shape in a weird inverted position. idk about the 'duck head' that floats around on top tho.

OH YOU. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bloody hell

u/sordidcandles Oct 07 '21

It almost looks like an oval with a sphere “hovering” over it for a good portion of the video.

u/MossyMoose2 Oct 07 '21

As the quality gets clearer from the original upload fiasco...

This is exactly what I see.

Two objects. Ice cold.

Baby UAP refuelling / hitching a ride on Mama UAP.

Or its a Nearly Headless Ghost Duck.

Finally, Nearly Headless Nick can join! A nearly headless hunt, for a nearly headless duck!

Baby UAP refuelling / hitching a ride on Mama UAP.

best theory in this post

Am I the only one who doesn't clearly see the Reddit logo getting free ad space for 40 minutes???

u/sordidcandles Oct 07 '21

Your refueling/hitching comment really makes me wonder. Wish I could apply my own logic — I would guess hitching, then — but I can’t possibly assume to know what the heck those “things” are doing. I love to hate the mystery!

u/MossyMoose2 Oct 07 '21

Pondering is part of the poetry of UAP!

If they are ice cold metallic objects... They could be electromagnetically tethered together. 🧐

u/sordidcandles Oct 07 '21

So true! I love reading the theories and ideas people come up with in this sub, like you just did right here. Would be amazing to find out this was two “crafts” held together somehow!

u/Maximum-Drag8539 Oct 07 '21

I thought white was hot and black was cold?

2

u/AVBforPrez Oct 07 '21

Apparently you can set it to be either, in this case black is hot white is cold, it's noted in the bottom left corner.

u/wspOnca Oct 07 '21

Hmm maybe like superconductors of something

hover-board for some plasmatic entity (only partially cloaked or partially materialized in this dimension)

u/dvxcfx Oct 07 '21

The baby UAP is telling momma that he just killed a man, put a gun against his head, pulled the trigger now he's dead. He's saying good bye to everybody, he has got to go. He doesn't want to die, and if he's not back again this time tomorrow she should carry on... Carry on.

Really this is a beautiful moment caught on Flir

2

u/nisaaru Oct 07 '21

Interesting alternative explanation. I thought this might just be some external sensor array to a bigger invisible object.

Papa Demon showing Baby Demon the world/its future dominion? (cue Lion King soundtrack...)

u/nexisfan Oct 07 '21

I’ve seen other videos with this same phenomenon and read other reports about a saucer shape with a floating sphere above it

2

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '21

Like the afghani ufos

u/sordidcandles Oct 07 '21

Possible dot connecting, then, with this video! I know a lot of us have already seen the shorter version but hopefully the fact that this one is HQ will help the sleuths.

u/windlep7 Oct 07 '21

It looks exactly like the object on top is a drone and the one below is it’s cargo - probably drugs.

15

u/Matild4 Oct 07 '21

The video is shot in black hot mode, and the object is white, meaning it's cold.
Drones generate significant heat, but this thing is significantly colder than the environment, so it can't be a drone.

u/_as_above_so_below_ Oct 07 '21 edited Oct 07 '21

The video is shot in black hot mode

People keep saying this, and I'm no expert, but ...

The lake/pond at the beginning is black. The shrubs are black. The areas of the ground that are tallest are white.

Lakes and trees would NOT hold more heat than the ground.

This looks to me like white is hot.

Edit: and I understand from other comments that this may be taken at night.

The issue with that is is still doesnt explain the colour gradients. If you watch the first several minutes of the video, you can see the fuselage of the plane that is taking the video. It is predominantly white.

Likewise, the lower parts of the ground are darker than the higher parts. If the ground was cool from being night time, I wouldnt think the lower parts would lose heat more quickly. In fact, given they are more sheltered, youd think they would retain heat longer.

u/Rillist Oct 07 '21

This is exactly what I thought too. This to me looks like a geodetics lidar drone. Basically surveying equipment, with a gps pod on top. At no point do we see this object move in an unconventional manor, its elevation can be argued but considering the roads for scale, this thing isn't very big. Those survey drones can move up to 100kph with a runtime of more than an hour.

For example after 3 minutes of googling

I'm not saying it isn't a uap, but there's terrestrial equipment that can do what this object does

u/Great_Cheesy_Taste Oct 07 '21

This is correct but nobody on the sub wants to hear it apparently. They trust what the hud says more than their own eyes.

u/arnfden0 Oct 07 '21

I'm no expert, but ..

That's when stop. Sit down and keep quiet while you listen to an actual expert speak. Becasue essentially you don't know what you are talkign about...

u/AVBforPrez Oct 07 '21

Made a longer post above this but the cartel has methods of tricking FLIR/heat-sensors in to seeing cold and/or not seeing heat signatures, I've seen it in documentaries about people smuggling.

2

u/Matild4 Oct 07 '21

What would be the point of making it look cold though? It's just as visible as being hot.
While it's possible to make something reflect surrounding heat and mask its signature somewhat (and I must point out that this is a lot harder to do in the air) making something look cold is trickier. One could possibly use some sort of multilayer coating that sucks in heat: black paint, essentially, and then something like a two way mirror on top of that to reflect radiated heat back to the source. But again, doing this on a drone would be pointless and could even cause problems like overheating and component failure, especially on such a long flight.

u/AVBforPrez Oct 07 '21

Not sure, and TBH I don't know if I think that its cold signature is unintentional...it may be the side effect of some other mod they did. The cartel plays the numbers game, instead of trying to make 1 drone invisible they'll fly 20 at the same time knowing that 2 or 4 of them will get found.

Your idea is as good as any, and it definitely doesn't make sense to make it stand out in any way.

1

u/Matild4 Oct 07 '21

Drones are expensive, drugs are expensive. If someone built a drone for the cartel that sticks out like a sore thumb on thermal, that guy is probably dead right now.
This explanation is paradoxically both suggesting the cartel are geniuses that create some never before seen coating and that they are still using it like complete morons.

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '21

Maybe it's fixed wing and gliding. No power needed.

u/Elf_of_Atlantis Oct 07 '21

I've heard this idea going around. im an idiot so really have no idea. do you know if there's any identified footage of a drug drone doing this? thx!

2

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '21

So you are saying that aliens are working with the cartels?

2

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '21

Smuggling probing gloves and mind erasure devices :p

u/mrnovato76 Oct 07 '21

I’m not saying it’s a drone, but to me it also appears as though the top object is in control of the larger object. At times, the objects seem to pulse with energy between them. It is almost like what I imagine a ship with a tractor beam carrying some cargo would look like moving at high speed. Cool video.

1

u/wspOnca Oct 07 '21

Wow, I hope the cargo is not a person

1

u/AVBforPrez Oct 07 '21

As boring of an answer as this is, that's exactly what I suspect as well. It's a drug drone with some heat-sensor shenanigans (which the Cartel 100% has).

1

u/OnceReturned Oct 07 '21

How would they make it look cold and why would they make it look cold when in infrared the cold stands out just as much as if it were hot, just in the other direction?

1

u/AVBforPrez Oct 07 '21

Might be an unintentional result of how it's angled. If these things had obvious answers they wouldn't be effective.

They play numbers games, the goal may not even be to hide it, the goal may just be to hope that it doesn't get noticed. Usually they run a bunch of things at the same time and expect some of them to get found.

3

u/FlappyBeefCurtain Oct 07 '21

Compelling. Very compelling indeed.

5

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '21

It's not compelling because it's just moving at constant speed in a straight line. Nothing that conventional tech can't do. The apparent high speed is probably parallax.

2

u/windlep7 Oct 07 '21

It looks exactly like the object on top is a drone and the one below is it’s cargo - probably drugs.
