Hey Corridor Crew, an astrophysicist here. The second clip of the moon actually is normal and the line is turbulence from the atmosphere. When different layers of air current shift due to temperature gradient it can cause such an optical effect. Atmospheric turbulence is the biggest obstacle to ground based telescopes and is the purpose for creating adaptive optics in modern astronomy.
that's the same reason why stars shimmer sometimes, right?
This is trails from plane
Wow,
Thanks for the knowledge, Stefan
It looked like a trail from a plane flying by, nothing special.
Atmosphere? Oh wait, here on Earth you mean?
Remember, if you're bad at identifying flying objects anything can be an UFO
That's a great point
Technically, you are not wrong
I mean, that's what it means, so yeah, I guess you're right >:(
But what about the military footages?
They explained the military footage in an earlier video.
It continues to amaze me that even though we have excellent 4K cameras in affordable cell phones these days, complete with image stabilization and other processing tools, every UFO video ever released looks like it was filmed through wax paper while the videographer was having a seizure.
Mostly because those 4k cameras arent made to take pictures of things thousands of feet away. That being said, why are there so few close ups? My guess is that strange things far away, are pretty normal looking up close.
True dat
@@brandonreno8103 yup, try taking a picture of a huge amazing full moon and it looks tiny in the picture
It's because 100% of UFO videos are horseshit, and if there were more pixels even the tinfoil hats would have to admit it's fake. This way it's just blobs of crap that you can claim are anything you like.
While you know those cameras exist you clearly have no clue how they work or how expensive they are
The ones at the end show pretty telltale signs of being balloons and whipping around in a wind stream while tied together. That explains the weird orbits they have as they are ripped apart, then you see the tension and they get whipped back into another orbit. Balloon related UFOs are actually well known to be more common in Mexico because for whatever reason, more people tend to just release large amounts of balloons into the air for parties, etc. So someone releases a huge bundle of balloons, they fly up into the sky, get hit by a cross-current of strong air and it rips them apart and then some credulous person with a camera starts recording them thinking they're a UFO.
To add onto that, for parties and whatnot you can gold or silver lookimg baloons that would be perfect for reflecting a lot of light and getting that nice glow effect..
Nope what is really going on in the end is 2 separate things. Firstly they show something breaking up on (re)entry to the atmosphere. Then they show 4 birds attacking a larger bird, probably to drive it out of their territory.
Lizard aliens from beta reticulum
I legit was thinking they looked like something lightweight being lifted around by air currents because it reminded me of a meteorologist demonstrating how hailstones form by putting tennis balls in a skydiving chamber. They moved around in a similar way, just kind of bobbing around in the air like it was water.
That's exactly what it looks like -- one object being either heavier or lighter than the other four, being dragged around on tethers by the wind.
How difficult would it be to animate parts of the footage to make it look like the small ones emerged from the big one? Like Nico alluded to, the grain, sharpness and bokeh are sorted already, seems to me like it's just a case of rearranging the parts on the screen...
I saw what I thought was a dead-solid UFO in Japan in 2010. I noticed four or five black triangles hovering motionlessly on the other side of the city, maybe 100-200m up in the air. I sped across town trying to get as much footage as possible and the closer I got the more UFO-like it became. One triangle split into two equally sized triangles, like cells dividing. Sometimes they would move independently at different speeds, sometimes they would mimic each others movements and do this... slow, choreographed dance.
When we finally got there... it was kites. It was a dude who just happened to be flying like five gigantic, black, triangular kites - all connected on the same string - because I guess he just really liked kites. Adding to the confusion was the fact that because they were so simple in shape and color, I couldn't accurately tell their size and distance until I was close enough to see details. They were big, yes, but still 10x smaller than what I was expecting, and closer to my initial location.
The point of that story is... even if you see something you're 100% convinced is extra-terrestrials, the odds are just so enourmously stacked in favor of it being a dude with a weird hobby, some unusual piece of garbage in the wind or... anything else you'd never think up on your own - rather than aliens.
That's just the Enterprise's escape pods.
One time at night I was in my backyard doing nothing and looked up to the sky and saw a triangular shape moving and stopping above me, moving like an animal, a predator idk, that still makes me confused to this day, the lighting looked like a star but it was closer than an plane would ever be, and stopping mid air. I sure hope someone was flying a triangular reflective kite
@@cruzefx3652 same here
confirmation bias.
You make a heresy point. I don’t believe in aliens but one night out on the beach in Florida I saw these light moving in a way that I still don’t understand, they were making sudden movements that a plane couldn’t do and it was fairly windy out so they definitely weren’t drones or anything like that. My best guess if that it was fighter jets a couple dozen miles out over the ocean doing training or something.
I’d love to see an “Icarus” VFX challenge on making a fake cryptid footage video.
So each person needs to make a mock video showing a cryptid (Big Foot, Nessie etc) supposedly captured on camera.
The “Icarus” factor is they need to fly close to the sun. The winner is the person who shows the most of the creature in their video without it being deemed by the team to be blatantly fake-looking
Even better, they do it to try n make it go viral. They keep it secret for a few months before they tell us the results
this better get upvoted like crazy
This is good
Well they've got to do it and get a "Peter Special" in there as well. . . .probably have some cryptid eating all of the others in some graphic and gory scene. Every one else will fly reasonably close to the sun. Peter will yeet himself in as best of a parabolic arc as he can estimate at the sun to leave the best looking crater behind.
This idea is dope. This has to happen
That "birthing orbs" one looks to me like a bundle of balloons that hit some turbulence, came apart, and starting getting blown around.
to my fellow weeb yes
maybe. it's strange that the video starts with a lot of them moving in a straight line. maybe they hit a jetstream, but jetstreams are still pretty turbulent and you'd expect them to slip out of the jetstream at some point.
it's the best explanation that i can think of right now, though lol
I've seen this one from two different angles , and they both look the same . It's a out of focus Spider's web . you shake the web and the baby spiders go moving about the web in weird patterns .
I had a huge spider's web going across the back corner of my yard years ago and i almost ran into it and just tapped the web and the mother spider was in the middle of the web and as i tapped it the babies ran around in this pattern . Like I said It's an out of focus spider's web
@@brademerick9181 hmm I wonder if it can be recreated. that would be interesting to see. I for one will not being doing because I am not going anywhere near a spider web. nope.
I loved the satelite skit that you guys did because that is 100% real for some people. I had a neighbor who was staring up into the clear sky and said very casually, "oh hey, a UFO"....this was kind of a nice neighborhood. My rent was $900/month for the cheapest single room apartment. Me, being a skeptical/open-minded person, stared at the UFO for about 5 seconds and said "I think that's a satellite". She says "no, look how it disappears and reappears". I say "mmmm, I see what you mean, that's interesting.....but I think what you're seeing is that there are thin clouds in the sky and they are blocking the faint satellite light. Look at how it goes in a straight line across the the entire horizon, if it viered a tiny left or right, or if it stopped or reversed, I would agree."
When anyone is married to an idea, you have to meet them in the middle, you have to hear them out, but that doesn't mean you have to be an idiot...
The final one around 12:44 to me looks like a kite. The large object on the right is the main body and the smaller parts appear to be attached to it and each other as part of the tail, which explains why they undulate together - they're being pulled around in a sort of spiral within 3D space behind the main body. There's a couple points (especially around 18:42) where, to me, it looks like there's a string / cable catching the light from the 'rear' of the main body, towards the direction of the smaller bodies which provides further evidence.
Yeah I think its a bunch of balloons tied together and they separate from the bundle but are still tied together at the ends.
I agree with that, to me it looks like the items following are tethered together. My first thought wasn't kite but that isn't a bad suspicion considering how long I've seen kite tails before. All the items tethered do seem light weight or have some degree of maintaining altitude being why they are getting jerked around so much.
i doubt it since if kites moved like that, the string will most likely get tangled
I suppose it could be kites, but why are aliens flying kites around Mexico City? Do they mean us harm?
/\ This. There seems to be a ... Vector relation? between the two smaller and one larger, (of each) very reminiscent of kite controls
Back around 1978 or 79, my dad gave me an old polaroid instamatic - the kind that actually had the extendible lens - and a ton of old B&W polaroid film - the kind you actually had to peel the lining off of - and I took a golf ball, glued some chunks of an egg carton to it, and threw it as high as I could in the air, then I snapped as many pictures of it as I could as it fell. One of them was really good, had trees in the background, for scale, but it looked like it was way behind them and it was *just* blurry enough that you couldn't see it was a golf ball.
I showed that thing around for ten years claiming it was a UFO, and most people believed it, and even the people who couldn't believe it couldn't explain what it was, not a one of 'em ever said, "It's jut a golffball with some styrofoam glued to it that you tossed in the air."
Given how incredibly easy it was to fake stuff even back then, I've never really believed any of these things are real.
I would really like to see this picture :D Sounds very interesting!
@@GfP838 Thanks. I can't find the damn thing. Last time I moved it disappeared, and I have no idea where it went. But if I find it, I'll put it up on my channel, perhaps with some eerie theremin music
@@mahatmarandy5977 Make sure to put in the video description that you found the photo in an old box hidden under a floorplank while renovating. Now you start to wonder, your father mysteriously disappeared years ago, a case never solved. Also, he was an astrophysicist working for the military, never disclosed his research to anyone, including his family. Your mom and siblings know nothing about the box you found and it's contents including this 'mysterious photo'. It must be your dads, he build the house himself after all, no previous owners..
When it catches on and starts to hit the front page on all conspiracy websites let us know, we will mass report your channel so it will get suspended. That way you will be 'silenced' for 'showing the truth'.
@@mvv700 I gotta admit the middle part of that shook me up unexpectedly, since my dad was a NASA engineer on Apollo and Skylab, so that kind of derailed my laughing. Not your fault, just odd almost-coincidence.
Look up Chris Lehto.
The worst case I remember was when Fact of Faked Paranormal files tried to pass off a spider in the center of its web suspended from a tree as the light of an on coming ghost train. It was so obviously a spider and none of their people could see it for what it was, allegedly. That was the first time I caught the show. It was also the last time.
The "Wave on the MOON!" video angers me. Because for a pressure wave so energetic that it can be seen from Earth to be moving across the surface of the moon so incredibly fast, easily thousands of miles per hour, there should be a wave of absolute devastation behind it. The surface of the moon would seem to be "wiped clean" behind it as the surface is utterly devastated and reformed. It would be an impact sufficient to crack the moon like a porcelain dish. This is an example of when the fiction doesn't even engage with the far more interesting ideas that the reality of the situation would require to happen, a failure of imagination!
🙈 That's the thing that annoys me so much about most conspiracy theories.... Our world is literally full of both so many bugf*ck crazy interesting natural phenomena AND awful examples of political corruption & corporate greed. Why waste time making up extra rabbit holes to dive down?? 😤
Although having said that, most kinds of speculative fiction are pretty cool! 😏 But mostly where they take something real & extrapolate it out to see how far it could go in the future/an alternate timeline or universe? Particularly where this helps us think more clearly about the present issues we face and how they could be addressed...
It would be cool if someone could make a CGI video where that happened. Seeing the moon's surface suddenly get wiped clean and then cracked, even with the naked eye, would be horrifying1
You guys should do a challenge where you guys fake ufo footage and try to fool everyone else. I think that would be an awesome video!!!
Edit.
Wow I’ve never gotten so many likes! Thank you! Hopefully they see the comment!
Yeah! Upload it to an empty TH-cam channel and try to make it go viral ;)
Mad idea ngl
There's no way they haven't already done this, it must have just not gone viral enough to make a video about it
How would that work? i mean they would know they were in a challenge, so yeah, everything is fake.
What if one of their videos was already in here 🤯
The guy in the last video is Jaime Maussan, a well-known ‘ufologist’ in Mexico who used to have a TV program just to present these types of videos. Most of those videos would rarely look to be CGI, much more likely to be either practical props or just camera effects. This one looks very much a practical thing, to me they look like a bunch of balloons caught in a high wind.
Actually, I was thinking that if this was recorded in December-January it could have been ballons for Los Reyes. Schools used to organize events for the children to release them simultaneously.
yeah, I remember that guy and also some guy called Carlos Trejo who was a paranormal investigator. Jaime and Trejo had beef with each other and would always slander and try to debunk each others videos. Those days were pretty fun and it was amazing to watch them beef so seriously lol.
"Ufologist"
I imagine they arent making much ground in the field of ufology
@@tk_the_onion Not sure what u meant by that but just to clarify.. Jaime Maussan was a Ufologist and Carlos Trejo was a paranormal investigator, as in Trejo would look for ghosts and other stuff related to that.
I was about to comment the same thing about Maussan, you forgot to mention the fact that he has been debunked multiple times tho.
I cracked up laughing at 15:50 because as a veteran Ufologist I'm very familiar with this shifty character. It was great to see you make "dot joining" moment. Sadly the world is full of guys like this who are muddying the waters.
It would be fun if you guys could debunk footage of famous cryptids (loch ness monster, bigfoot, etc.) both old and new!
Its been done MANY times none can be shown to be true
Were I a man with a more devious mind, I would use these debunking videos to make the perfectly undetectable paranormal/UFO hoax video because the breakdowns you guys give for why the videos look fake (i.e. the types of camera blur and why they happen) are so detailed, informative and educated that you're giving hoaxers the tips they need to make their hoaxes look more realistic.
Look up Chris Lehto.
I think Sam missed a vital point in his guess at the end. If those were flawless CGI, as Niko had said, there is no way the artist would have let that crossfade through.
Unless it was done intentionally, to lower everyone's expectation
Or it was intentional to hide the fact that the two guys talking about it at the conference are the aliens, in order for people to accept it but not fully, but also question it, but not too much, so they can move freely and eat brains.
@@ohheyitsguy Gigabrain moment.
I think the crossfade says it all. What we're looking at has to be a bunch of tethered balloons strung together as an intentional hoax. Otherwise, why hide who was taking the footage? The only way that crossfade makes sense is if the person filming knew they'd be called out for a hoax if they were recognized. So they just filmed on their own then phones a friend to get the ground shot.
@@dethhollow yup seems like the best explanation so far
I really appreciate how when they get stumped by something, they show the deliberation, and the process of conversation in detail. It makes them feel very credible and honest, which I never doubted in the first place, but it rules out that they cut it down to make them "Look good".
Dang you guys for real break it down. I appreciate this video very much! ❤️
"Do people just film the moon for long stretches of time?" I felt that remark.
Same… it cut deep.
Nah (hides Nikon P950)
hah space nerds
Me too!
Look up Chris Lehto
Kind of disappointed that nobody freaked out about Wren having caught an alien on camera himself
Going at Mach 15...
@Mysterygamer26 0000 yes, a perfect scenario in which the only thing the object could POSSIBLY have been is a UFO. How convenient, and not suspicious at all...
@@thedoiteltwins You do know what UFO stands for right?
@@thedoiteltwins watch the original video (if you can find it) of the drone footage. Try to use some critical thought, ie why is this insect massive, white, rod shaped and travelling in a straight line at over 1000 mph?
Then find the analysis video that shows the insect flying over the trees about 5 miles away before it reaches the camera within seconds.
Even if you can’t be bothered you should open your mind a bit. Life’s better 👍
Hi, I’m an astrophotographer and I spotted something that looked basically exactly the same as the last “ufo” sitting you guys debunked whilst photographing the night sky, I took a long exposure image of it but it’s very short, still is visible, I can give more information if you need it and I could try sending the picture as well, also, great vid, really enjoyed seeing how you debunked it all
The funny thing is that a normal "UFO" is probably really, really ineffective. Like, unless you want to show up in style, use something practical - maybe a large tube-y thing, something like Pillar Of Autumn or In Amber Clad. Something that can be used effectively.
Also a stereotype UFO is really easy to debunk just because of it´s popularity
Actually the Halo ships are pretty unrealistic too. Barring any giant leaps in technology spaceships would look very strange. The Venture Star from Avatar (blue people one) is a popular example.
Also spaceships would probably not be able to land on or enter a planet, it just is a ton of extra work for little benefit.
WAIT.. when did the “UFO birthing” video come out? 2009… looks like a bunch of little balloons flying around right?? When did Pixar’s “UP” release? 2009. Mystery Solved.
Don't quit your day job karate man. lmao. jkjk
Oh come on, you had a perfect opportunity for a cross-Pixar reference with "Coincidence? I. Think. NOT!" and you whiffed it...
It does look like a load of tethered balloons flying about
Love you channel Sensei! Nice to see you here
Personally they reminded my of parachutes.
I want Corridor to create a UFO hoax video and secretly release it, then later reveal it was them who created it.
People have done that. UFO enthusiasts still believe the video is real after the confession.
I think that is morally unsound.
who says they haven't...
Yeah, as CG guy who is actually pretty internet famous in UFO circles, that has been done already, and all it does is create resentment and serves no purpose. I was out there in 2007 trying to explain to the wider UFO community that a home PC was good enough to fool them (relating to the "californian drone" images that appeared in that year).
However, I have seen several actual UFOs, and so i know they are up there. So despite my stance, and I still work on occasion to bring clarity to fakes here and there, I also know that many phenomena caught on camera are something else.
But top and bottom of it... Trying to trick people with the purpose of making people look stupid never ends well.
Side note... the very first video on my YT channel was dubbed "not animation" by a famous UFOlogist on national US radio. I received a crazy amount of views given the year it came out. I even labelled it CG, but back then, that wasn't in the lingo. It even looks a bit crap at this point, but it had many fooled. Tricking people wasn't the intention by the way... I created a model based upon the photos that were circulating, and wanted to see it in motion. I never expected all that to happen. But it still happened.
Strange days.
@@Khronogi yeahh, they've faked stuff like the "keanu reeves stops an armed robbery" thing but that was just harmless fun. there's already so much misinformation around like aliens and ufo's and stuff, it might be harmful to put more fake stuff out there. but then i suppose, even if they released it alongside an explanation of it being fake, bad actors would just take it out of context and peddle it as real ufo footage
I find these debunking explanations to be really interesting. I and most others look at these videos and intuitively notice that *something* is off… but we can’t articulate what that something is. We just know it is wrong, somehow. Youz are actually telling us what it is that is wrong that we are seeing. Example: uniform blur vs. a natural blur.
I learned more about vfx in these videos than I did in my DD class
The way Niko explains how a blur works and being serious about it while doing all those hand gestures. I couldn't hold the laughter 😂😂😂
From now on, that hand gesture is light-coming-into-lens gesture. No lewd value anymore. If someone scold me when I do it, I'll just them this video. 😁
True
I actually didn't even notice until I saw your comment 😂
"Do people just go out there and film the moon for long stretches of time?"
Well, yeah. Amateur astronomers record all manner of footage, since that's kinda how we know what happens in space in the first place. There's a A LOT we don't know about celestial phenomenon and a lot we do. We record to sky to catch either one of those.
Yep.
Exactly, there is more evidence for UFOs than any god, there are plenty of ufo channels where you can just tell when they are real or fake, yes there is lots of fake stuff, but LOADS of stuff that clearly isn't, no I'm not saying it is aliens, but if anyone can believe that we are the only intellectual species in the entire universe, that's absurd, there are millions of chances just in our universe, and there are billions and billions of galaxies in the universe, that the hubble can provide just in the observerable universe, there could be trillions in the none observerable,, I've seen 3,,no that's no evidence for you, but what I saw definitely was not an aeroplane or a helicopter,, it kind of annoys me when people like these are so confident that they are right, an there is no chance that they could be wrong,
Ok but, why would you film the moon at 200fps when it's barely moving?
@@thecommenter578 because it is probably his passion, he is almost certainly fascinated by our solar system, most people wouldn't buy a very decent expensive telescope just for a bit of fun, I'm a pianist of 14 years, I'd love a steinway grand piano, but they're worth upwards of 500k,,,but one can dream,, that's my opinion on your comment anyway, take care man, 🎶🎶🎹🎹🙏🙏
@@jordanwood9289 The moon might not noticeably move, but stellar phenomena does.
Yall be good at what you do. Thanks guys.
I just love these guys.. PLS keeeeep debunking all that ....... :)
This has reminded me of a problem with pretty much all the ghost effects I’ve ever seen. They’re always translucent 2D comps, but if a real thing was slightly transparent then you wouldn’t just see the stuff behind them, you’d see their insides and the backs of their heads, like a deep sea fish
Look up Chris Lehto.

@@Oddi0 😆
Well, I've never seen a ghost take a dump in the woods, let alone at all.
Ok I have an idea, we need you guys have another competition in the office on who can make the most realistic looking ufo footage.
That's a sick idea :D
I can't wait for them to release it into the wild, for the footage to blow up on Facebook (sans watermarks, of course), and for someone to then send it back to Corridor saying "this would be a good fit for your UFO Reacts series!"
The "bug" video I remember seeing a few years ago. But I thought the video started a few seconds earlier where you could see the object coming down the valley and actually go behind some trees before making a turn and passing the drone.
I'm not saying it's real but I would like to see the guys analyze that part of the video.
When the video came out, that was the part that seemed harder to fake. Or at least that is what I heard. I honestly don't know either way
Yes these guys pretty much always skip or ignore the compelling parts of these videos. They are quite dishonest with their reactions.
Yes this what was i was trying to say! the "bug" could clearly be seen in the distance emerging from behind the trees
The so-called bug going toward the drone there's another video of that same day and the same area and they took measurements I forget the exact measurements but it is not a bug
@@wackyswacky1374 They've done this multiple times?
still fake, all you could do is mask the object behind a tree and just make it go toward the camera. even they got the shading wrong. looks fake.
The drone pilot of the "drone v bug" footage released the RAW files for this exact type of scrutiny. You might want to have a closer look at it by zooming in to the hillside. The same object can be seen sweeping out of the hill valley and turning right, towards the drone.
That being said; one of the 5 observables in UAP/UFOs is that the objects can somehow move through air and water without friction. Electro-gravitic propulsion??
Another piece of footage for you to look at - type in Concorde with Orb. Filmed in the 1970''s or early 80''s from another Concorde flying along side. An orb just like the ones filmed in Mexico and the WW2 reports of Foo Fighters.
This channel is a gov shill channel.
Bunch of paid off mouth pieces spreading disinfo
Love this series! You guys should do the same kind of debunks on ghost videos too.
their sponsor needs a tag though, so we know when to skip it
They already have
They should do a challenge to make the best paranormal video with vfx
They already have one ghost debunk video on their channel. I'd like to see more as well. They're awesome.
These were obviously fake videos lol. No debunking needed. The ufo phenomenon is still real.
Sam is my spirit animal. 99% skeptic but willing to entertain your idea in order to prove that it's stupid.
Niko is better at understanding and knowing effects. I'd listen to him more than Sam. Niko can identify VFX better than Sam does.
I JUST noticed their chairs, and I love them! It is two seperate chairs that you can push together to make a couch. Brilliant! I want them!
The first "birthing orbs" shot from below looks a like a high power hobby rocket separating at apogee, with some streamers tied onto a long cord, and a parachute. The motion matches very well. Since there are no visual cues to indicate alignment, the view could have been rotated to create the appearance that it was floating, rather than falling slowly toward the camera from very high up. If that was real footage, the view from above could just be a negative superimposed on some clouds.
After getting ideas from others on here, this is my theory:
It is initially a large bundle of balloons, about 30, all tied together simply floating up, then the bundle intercepts a strong air current. Once this happens, most of the balloons break off (either because they weren't actually tied together or because the wind was strong enough to break their strings/rip the balloons off the string) then the camera follows the core group of balloons, which includes one of those big metallic party balloons, making it extra bright and extra big, and the remaining five dots are simply still tied together as the air current carries them off.
My thoughts exactly!
Couple problems with this idea:
1.The center object seems to be spinning around but stays locked in place (until being jerked around by the four balloons in the other shot).
2.The balloons that get deployed in both directions move outwards at fairly constant rate. Balloons I've handled tend to dampen linear forces a lot, also being that high up I'd expect more turbulence. Although being tied together would give them bit more rigidity I guess.
Here's some more footage:

@@z3dar It could just be five balloons and the other dots are lens flares
@@DanteWilcox22 Yeah, but what about the second footage. The objects are dark, not bright like lens flares.
@@MrAlsachti As the man states in the video, it's from the opposite side. So if the sun is hitting the bright side, causing a reflection, it will cause a sillouhette on the other side.
Holy Shit! Niko's explanation on why blur happens is exactly why people need correction glasses for short/long sight. blew my mind
12:26 "i'm going to give this one a maybe"
high praise from the crew!
While I'm not a UFOlogist, back in 1980, in Greece, my friend and I watched very much the same activity pictured in the blue sky imaging in the last clip, but at night. We watched a big light spawn a bunch of smaller lights, that then acted independently. I know Unidentified Flying Objects are just unidentified, but it was amazingly similar. It could have simply been a meteor breaking up in the upper atmosphere, but the subsequent behavior was really weird. In any case, great video!
That looks a lot like tiny spiders hatching out of an egg. I have seen the same pattern of movement before where the mom spider holds the egg under her belly and hundreds of tiny spiders spew out of the egg and make a big mess. Plus the fact that this is happening on a web could explain why they look like flying objects. Webs between 2 distant objects usually appear in a straight line. And the part where the the small objects are going around the big one could be the tiny spiders weaving their own webs and trying to navigate the environment.
Bro, that's a pretty good take.
It's actually really hard not to see them as spiders now that you've mentioned it. You can even see their tiny legs flailing about, despite all the compression (and being out of focus, of course).
I think you figured this out bro
The "maybe" one reminds me of skydiving teams who have lights on them. There's a great video of somebody seeing them at night and freaking out and repeatedly yelling "ALIENS! ALIENS! THEY'RE MOVING INTO FORMATION!"
It was very funny
😂 Skydiving teams with particularly evil senses of humour who knew where their local UFO enthusiasts hung out at night could definitely have a lot of naughty fun jumping at just the right time...!
These guys know their shit, I love how they're just laughing when there's ufo nuts completely taken in by it
It’s fantastic how you guys couldn’t debunk the Birthing Orbs. Whether Jaime Maussan is in fake cahoots or not, he does bring forward A LOT of footage, and we get some brain stumpers like this one.
I do hope i find out in my lifetime. It’s really great living in this technological era and demystifying many things. Like knowing the magician’s secrets 🥰
The main thing I want to say about that last one with the orbs, the original video almost looks like whatever it is is caught in a current and the smaller orbs around it aren't pulling it, they're being dragged along. It almost reminds me of like a bag getting caught in the wind, but something is tied to it. I'm definitely not saying aliens, but it looks like something caught in a current and that's all I can say from how it looks
Exactly what I'm thinking. It looks like some kind of bag and it has like small balloons or something attached to it and it's being filmed at an angle so that they appear to have that weird movement.
"I'm not saying it's aliens, but it's aliens." G. A. Tsoukalos
The problem with the idea that it's things tethered in a string is that both sides project several objects in opposite directions.
Some have mentioned kites of some sort.
Birds maybe?
Y’all should do a challenge where you have to create your most convincing UFO sighting shots
1. black backdrop
2. white dot
3. blurry ass camera quality from the 1800s
or the most convincing ghost
yes please
@@OrontesRM yes most convicing UFO footage and ghost sighting would be really good videos.
Look up Chris Lehto.
Would love more of these, please.
Vuelvo una y otra vez a ver ese gran final de descubrimiento... y por el pelo de Nico!
Sam's reactions are always the best parts of these videos. He's just not having any of this nonsense. Lol
You trust your pilots to defend the airspace but if these same pilots turn around and tell you they see crafts dropping in from 60000 feet, being at ocean level an instance later only to go under the water another moment later you are like; nonsense
@@ieradossantos well.they are trained to defend the airspace, not physics.
@@Khronogi O yes, your expertise in physics must be so much more valuable than his multi million dollar equipment and training that goes into becoming what David was. He literally FOLLOWED a craft that VANISHED and reappeared at his CAP point... This is his personal account. Go ahead and question that
@@ieradossantos Who cares if they so aliens, spaceships or just some UFOs? Can you do anything about it? No. Does it prove aliens exist? Maybe. Even if they do, who cares? As long as they don't wish to contact us and we have no way of contacting them this whole conversation is pointless
@@ieradossantos yes, it is nonsense.
I'm just here admiring the world-building Sam does by *always* having his hair out for the UFO videos.
Aliens that have traveled billions of light years across the universe to earth, are able to avoid detection from every single sophisticated science in the world, yet are easily recorded by backyard amateurs and Space Force interests on a consistent basis.
BTW- Big Foot remains the Hide and Seek Champion of the World!!
That’s the thing I’ve never understood, if some unidentified object flew into America you know there would be jets in the air within seconds. So they’d have to have some kind of tech to hide, but why tf would they turn it off while flying around Utah lmao
@@LiilYogurt malfunctioning tech.
The clip with the bug has had lots of analysis vids made on it and at certain points it dips behind hills way off in the distance. So that puts the bug idea to rest.
Yeah that's no "bug" banking into that turn like that and accelerating.
This might be my new favorite type of video you all do. Love the instantaneous fake spotting, need more! More rectangle glasses please!
Those glasses are just too good and scream "that's nonsense"
Look up Chris Lehto.
I love how Sam gets so into these videos, his theories and glasses I love it😂
He comes across like an arrogant douchebag in my opinion.
11:20 TBH, I think these are also just balloons. The way they're moving makes it seem like they're attached via some kind of string to eachother and getting blown around by wind and shit.
Interestingly, some of those clips are of 'ball lightning'. A rare nature occurence of when, during certain and specific conditions, creates a ball of lightning that looks like an UFO. It's been debunked on something I've seen recently and thought how interesting it is to actually irl. Also, the ball can sometimes be seen from coming from the ground or lightning seen coming from the ground, as opposed from the sky.
I think the main condition is for the ground tectonic plates to have friction, and it have certain air and weather conditions.
I can't wait for them to react to Unexplained Goblin Sightings.
Oh my god, yes. After seeing Dunkey's reaction, I can only imagine that these guys would lose their minds.
Goblins are real.
the "moon wave" thing COULD be some simple atmospheric thing. It's supposed to be super slow mo, and it's super zoomed in, so even a very slight and uneven warbly distortion from heat could look straight and clean like that.
So even if it's not faked, it's still not necessarily some spooky shit.
You guys should take a look at the new Medellin, Colombia UFO. There’s multiple angles from different people, and one is very high quality! 😊
This is my favourite series on the internet
You guys should do a challenge of the best warp (jumping into hyperspace) animation!! Would be awesome!
Look up Chris Lehto.
Been waiting on more of this these are the best
MY favorite part is when the ufo nerds show up in the comments.
@@ANTIStraussian English pls
@@ryanmaguire8451 I fixed it I think
I'm pretty sure the orbs are a specifically made 'weirdness' kite. They floated up a bag of some sort with smaller tethers connected to it via string, and had some additional stuff that could be released upon hitting a particularly strong wind stream.
That was great. And Sam is becoming too super funny :)
3:37 Assuming for a moment this is a natural phenomenon, I might have an answer: when we look at the stars, they twinkle. That's not due to anything the stars are doing, but because our atmosphere is a roiling mass of air that changes thickness all the time, so it distorts incoming light just enough that a star's precise location and brightness may seem to vary. You see the same phenomenon if you're zooming in on something far away, like on the horizon. So let's say that there are natural "waves" in the atmosphere, which doesn't sound totally far fetched. What can we look at beyond the atmosphere? The sun is too damn bright for our disgusting human eyeballs, stars and planets are too small for us to be able to discern a wave. The moon is the only phenomenon left where we *could* notice a wave happening.
I like this
I absolutely love these debunking videos. It never comes across as pompous or condescending. Just really funny dudes.
It literally is them mocking people believing in UFO's lol. Who cares if they're being condescending anyways?
Look up Chris Lehto he has done really good content. Very similar from all years.
I like how the bug one at the 5 minute mark had a little backstory like it was Aunt June's Southern Cornbread recipe.
Great stuff, can you guys do the Patterson and Gimlin film next?
I genuinely feel excitement seeing you guys continuously level up and get more and more views. Out of any of the TH-camrs I've watched for the last decade or so you guys are the ones that deserve Every bit of attention you get! Keep it up corridor crew!!!
A little dissapointed that you didn't look closer at the "bug" footage (5:55). But hey, its your show, and its entertaining to watch you guys go through the clips :-)
I know, right?!
I remember analysis of the HD footage found you could actually see small glimpses of the "object" travelling behind a row of mountain peaks in the background a moment before it flew by. There's a video of the cameramen who were filming the b-roll where this footage came from discussing it. I leaned more towards it being a fake back when I saw it first, but someone deeply into video effects could analyze the way it disappears between the peaks to determine if the video could have been faked.
Ya'll should do more of these
Just started watching your site. Love the aluminum hats. You should sell them for support.
I absolutely love that you’re using you’re expertise to teach critical thinking and skepticism in a way that is so cool and relatable.
Look up Chris Lehto.
2:35 I see you wren 😂😂😂
That video at 5:45.

More UFO content please! Haha, I dig what you guys do.
I still really want you to do an episode of this that looks at flat earther debunks of nasa footage. I think there would be a TON of interesting stuff to talk about the difference between VfX glitches and compressed video artifacts, of which they can’t seem to make a distinction, but also how that all compares to renders of space in movies
Look up Chris Lehto.
So fun to watch pros actually debunk these videos
ya
Just saying but if other "pros" prove some of the footage shown here, ( clip from 5:50) isn't a bug and back up their claims. What would you think?
@@conoro774 then, get a real pro, not someone from reddit and try, I doubt
@@conoro774 point me where's the pro
I'd like to see what you think about the latest Pentagon videos, including the "Mosul Orb".
Good for you guys. In around 2005, the ARMY did some work with some big "Big Screen Displays". They had them put together, with a TIGHT seam, and had the front of an Abrams tank covered by them. Behind the tank was an array of HD (of the time?) video cameras. Then then had various observers, from about 3KM,( 2 miles) away, try to pick out where the tank was on the "opposite hill side". The results were stunning. Some of the BEST observers, with some very good optics, could NOT find the tank! Now, what does this mean: Hypothesis, an advance, intelligent, civilization on another ''planet" (no DOUBT about other "planets" orbiting other "suns" these days) has actually developed a "work around" visa vie the "speed of light"/infinite mass/what do you use for "action/reaction" power..problem. I.e. they are VERY advanced. (Let's say, for the sake of argument, 300 years ahead in our time..) Wouldn't we be really SILLY to not presume that the 300 years down the line "technology" would be capable of allowing them to "hover" (let's say, 50 miles, 150 miles, 20 miles, you get the idea) above the Earth and in both DAY LIGHT and NIGHT TIME, have an essentially "seamless" presentation. I.e., VISUALLY you ARE LOOKING DIRECTLY AT THEIR CRAFT, but all you see (visually) is either a presentation as a "blue sky" or at night a star field. LIKEWISE, no Earth radar would allow any TRACKING of their craft either. Now, it might be possible to detect them, by detecting a minor distortion of the STELLAR "Xray spectrum" from various. But this is a real "chicken and the egg" phenomena, in that to do that, you'd have to line up some VERY SENSITIVE Xray Spectra astronomy research equipment, AND you'd have to have pre-established sets of Stellar Xray spectra, and you'd have to then scan the skies and find aberrations of same. Frankly, by the time we have data that in depth, and equipment that capable, WE might be doing the faster than light travel. I.e., a LONG TIME IN THE FUTURE!
The 2nd item of the "Lunar Wave" is an scanning artifact, probably of a camera filming a screen. The screen draws the pixels in a raster, pixel by pixel, line by line. The camera is sampling at some rate (let's say 30fps), and each time it captures the pixel update at a slightly different position. the camera is slightly rotated, so you see it at an angle.
The fact that there are 2 lines, just means that the camera catches the scanned lines in 2 places. it's like a harmony of the scanning frequency and the capture frequency.
This was probably done by mistake, and not intentionally.
It might be a shockwave from a jet flying by out of frame. I’m on the DCA flight path and I see the same thing now and then with my telescope when looking at the moon. It’s cool when it happens and once a jet went through my FOV while looking and the wave was clear as day.
@@nickthoman2280 nah that's not how they look, they'd still have to be 3d, it's an entirely in camera effect because it only travels along a 2d plane
Their argument is that the moon is a projection in our sky, not a 3d object, so wouldn't the wave be 2d in that instance?
Condensation trails from a passenger jet.
@@NaughtyShepherd yep… telescope is tracking the moon so more likely the moon is moving past the contrail of a high altitude jet.
1:52
Me during my first time
U virgin
Just curious where can you find those glasses Sam is wearing? Love the video
06:30 no, the 1st frame where you can see the so-called bug is way before, when the UAP comes toward the camera from a low altitude in front of the mountains and then turns into the flight path that takes it past the drone. I downloaded this video myself and looked at it, frame by frame. The UAP appears to bend. It seems to act somewhat like a cruise missile.
You guys are so good at explaining!!!
With the first shot i was like: HOW DO THEY SEE it THAT QUICK?!
Half a min later: oh wow i can see clearly what they mean!
Look up Chris Lehto.
@@binauralauto3621 >some nft bro on twitter
lmao no thanks
12:54: You can clearly see the yellow thing hang (dangle between) on the white ones around it. It's some kind of capsule or weather instrument hanging on parachutes
You're just acting like you know what you're talking about.
3:10 of course lol. people who love astronomy _love_ astronomy. they don't care that they already know what they're going to see - they just want to see it with their own eyes anyway because natural sciences are dope.
i'm wondering if the wave is moving as fast as it should be. i haven't done any of the math, but if this is supposed to be a shockwave, you should be able to calculate its speed across the surface of the moon.
The Mexico one looks like a bunch of light objects tied to the big one. The trailing edge has them all lined up as they extend, and as the object slows down to terminal velocity, the four leading edge objects appear to all bobble at certain lengths of cord as if attached and free to move on four independent strings. Just like balloons.
UFO debunks episodes are my favourite ❤️
We need these more.
I seen something very similar to last one last week but just as they left the ground. Those are balloons tethered together. The ones I saw were 3 and it was "0","2" shaped ones and one round. Different shapes react differently so they pull each other around in the wind -just like on this video. After they are high enough you are not able to clearly see the shapes.
That's what I thought too, at some point you can see one spin around in the wind
If they got caught in a jet stream that would also explain the erratic movements.
The problem with the idea that it's things tethered in a string is that both sides project several objects in opposite directions.
@@57harrierstrikes Also would balloons be that dark from the other angle? The second angle seems pretty weird.
@@z3dar anything appears dark if backlit. A white piece of shiny card would if shot into the sun
14:32 That old dude Jamie Muassan was an organizer for the alien mummies presentation in Mexico.
Love your Carpenter Brut shirt! As I’m wearing my Dance with the Dead shirt! We are ahead of the rest bro!
you can't stop this series until you find a genuine UFO
Debunking Series is a must. Love it
Once, a couple months ago, I was in a pool, and when I looked up, I saw this white dot that moved across the sky. I was confused and thought that that was a UFO. A couple days later, in the same pool, I saw it again. Months later i figured out that they were these special Elon Musk Satelites.
That lunar wave one reminds me of what happened when I tried to upscale mhrise on pc to 4k without a 4k monitor. It distorted the ground when I moved around
