I saw what I’m 95% sure was a balloon just over a baseball field length away. It looked like a sphere, but it moved really consistently. I could also kinda see the string when I zoomed in.
From my eye I couldn’t see the string and I could see how it could get mistaken for a sphere… Until today I would have thought the distinction would be easier.

Im 95% sure I saw a balloon floating on the other side of a baseball field. It moved consistently and when I zoomed in with my phone I could tell it had a string.
Until today I had a hard time understanding how a person could mistake a balloon for a uap, but now I get it.
Maybe, however, that doesn’t explain all sightings. Many orbs are clearly not balloons.
Roswell was also a balloon btw
I just think it takes reasonable processing abilities… am I looking at something I can’t 100% identify as being anomalous? OK, it probably isn’t. It’s people being jumping to conclusions about what they are seeing and not fully understanding what makes an object anomalous that is causing the problem.
It’s good to point out what is and isn’t truly anomalous. The more people are able to filter out the BS on their own, the more reliable our evidence becomes. Evidence might be a lot smaller, but it won’t be as scattered with false data.
How did it move, what did it do? How long did you watch it?
Last night, while walking the dogs, I looked up at the stars and saw a plane going by, I then saw a glowing yellow orb float by in a different direction.
Since I had the plane to compare it to, I could tell that it def wasn’t a plane and it clearly was not a balloon because it was at night. Unfortunately it was so far away (and again *at night*) that it would have been futile to run inside and try to grab my phone, because even if I was quick enough, the photo would have been ass lol
I don’t know what it was, I’m not even certain it was a UAP, but the funny thing is I was barely phased by it! I’ve been following this stuff so consistently at this point that when I actually may have seen one myself, it didn’t even surprise me.
These things have become so common in recent days that if you look up in the sky enough, eventually you’ll see one. 🤷♂️
This is why appearance doesn’t carry much weight for me. What we need to see is a clear video of something moving in ways our current technology cannot, regardless of appearance. A UFO moving in a straight line at a speed a drone can achieve doesn’t prove anything
Yea, been following this sub for a while. All visual “evidence” is eventually debunked. Starting to lose faith we’ll ever see verifiable and true proof.
For sure! It’s like mistaking a crook for a president. So you just poke a hole in it and it flies off at 28,000 mph and sits and waits at a pre determined point in a matter of less than a minute, 60 miles away. Then you send another group of navy balloon watchers and the get a great video of a tic tac shaped balloon. Very advanced balloon design. All these cool balloon’s and swamp gas and temperature inversions and let’s not forget the planet Venus. I sleep so good at night knowing there is 40 bureaucrats who are not going to let Godzilla surprise us. All they need is more donations so they can get more high resolution surveillance platforms to find those pesky balloons. Maybe it’s birds disguised as balloons. China has those too along with Russia and India and maybe even orango the spray tan’s BFF has one in North Korea. All we have is some planes that are not as effective as guys sitting behind a desk staring at a computer monitor. Let’s get back to reality for a second and just admit that it’s crash test dummies filled with chicken guts and green onions looking heads. Give me some sort of break. How is the whole thing with those pesky balloons loitering above an ICBM installation like multiple times at multiple locations in the good ole USA and also in Mother Russia and India. Did y’all ever figure out where the teenagers in that van that crashed in Brazil? Those kids were dressed in Halloween costumes. That’s also cool how they sprayed all that ammonia on themselves. 😳🤫🤔🫡
Yes, it may be a balloon.
Interesting you aren’t completely sure. But lets assume it is. This is very different to the metallic spheres seen in in many vidoes, including the ones the government used when telling us that metallic spheres are seen all over the world and have some unexplained maneuvers.
Look you have to imagine not only all these videos are misidentified, a seemingly endless number of vardied highly credible and normal witnesses and insiders are all incompetent, convincing themselves of their own highly imaginative and dramatic additions, and the government that the government are have been gaslighting is for nearly 100 years and still is.
AARO’s new website is literally subtly hinting that UAP are NHI and “alien” craft do exist, otherwise they are intentionally mocking the whole thing and it should be a huge scandal that they’re wasting public money.
It’s somewhere in between, they certainly are gaslighting us.
Im a believer, but I always refer to this video when viewing footage that could resemble a simple balloon let loose. It’s always a good idea to assume from the start that its NOT aliens.

I suggest saving this video and watch it from time to time as a refresher!
I think there is a real phenomenon out there but I can absolutely see why a large portion are misidentifications.
I tend not to think much of any sighting unless: there are multiple perspectives of witnesses or sensors, it’s size and distance can be estimated within reasonable amounts of error so that even the extremes or error would suggest something anomalous, it does a number of things that are anomalous (at least a few of the five observables Elizondo talks about).
Knowing size and distance is very important for determining if something is truly anomalous because otherwise it is hard to differentiate between something small close and slow and something large far way and fast. Unfortunately many sighting are point sources of light or objects with very small angular size seen from only one angle that make these things hard to estimate. A drone or balloon might APPEAR to exhibit some of the observables if seen from a distance and only one perspective.
What I’d love is for someone to make an app where it asks you questions about your sighting and gradually eliminates common misidentifications based on your answers. Sort of like a dichotomous key you use in biology for classifying organisms.
The reason I think there is a real phenomenon is that whenever you have a data set that can meet my criteria above the proportion of true unknowns (as opposed to sighting with insufficient data) seems to go up. If all unknowns were really just misidentifications of prosaic phenomena you’d expect the proportion of unknowns to go down with data quality. Civilian data tends to have 5% unknowns, bluebook had about 20% and AARO about 50% (though the latter Will possibly go down with better funding. Then again a lot of the “explained” 50% is really just “likely explainable” if you closely read their last snooze of a report).
One of the sure signs of pseudoscience is when the signal among the noise disappears with better data quality. That doesn’t seem to be the case with UAP/UFOs at least not when the data is viewed objectively and the goal posts aren’t constantly moved.
