If you have caught any Alien UFOs, Sasquatch sightings, Ghosts, Crab People, or any other unexplainable phenomena on camera and want us to debunk (or bunk) it, then send it over to debunk@corridordigital.com and you may see it featured in our next video!
How can you be objective when you clearly have a preconceived bias? Canon CR2 Raw files can be altered with Luminar. The timestamps can be changed too. I know that this video is fake. You are amature visual effects artist, right? Fakery is your thing. Ratings = sponsorship dollars.
Sasquatch sightings are too easy, because they’re just bears walking on their back two legs, which put them to around the same height and size of the ‘Sasquatch’
You guys really have to make a series out of this. Super refreshing for the channel (not that it needed it) and the amount of content out there for you guys to breakdown is unlimited.
You might want to check out Captain Disillusion. His channel is all about using critical thinking and deduction to dismantle video fakes. He also appeared on an episode of VFX artists react recently as well, in case you have not seen that episode. Cheers.
This was so satisfying. The main thing that would be easy to miss is that we're watching that dot moving around on the screen smoothly, but it's a 5 hour timelapse, with a photo for each frame taken every, what, 30 seconds? A minute? If it had been an aircraft or a drone of any kind, it would move too much between frames and would be popping in and out of different areas of the shot each frame. The fact it's moving so smoothly means it's actually going incredibly slowly. Balloon makes perfect sense.
@kc myth @kc myth they never said it was deep faked. They said the opposite. You need to re-watch that whole video. They joke about it being faked a couple times, but Nico's exact quote at the conclusion is "I don't think it's deep faked. It could be faked but if it is its a very, very, very, very, very good fakery" You could also simply look at the title of that video : "Andrew garfield Spiderman is real"
@@bigchaza5039 The Book of Boba Fett is a hoax. I am like 3 episodes into that documentary, and there isn't so much as a JOURNAL entry so far. I doubt he will ever write a book.
The only slight problem is them claiming that you could not edit or fake raw data, which you of course can. Not that it did happen here, but of course one can edit the raw files.
Real UFOs have a unique feature that allows you to be certain if they are alien ships. It is part of their cloaking systems. Real UFOs can only be filmed with shaky cameras. Stationary cameras are unable to film them.
Yea bruh low res is must have too, if your camera is stable and high res alien ships adapt to it and cloak themselves, your camera needs to be chaotic and unpredictable
The fact that you can go this deep into researching and debunking with just your phone while sitting in front a tv just goes to show how far phone technology has come in the past decade.
@@youneedyourmedication It's because even though the internet and tech has given us the world's information at our finger tips it's also given us the world's misinformation, and as we all know lies spread much faster than the truth. When I was young you actually had to put in effort to look into things like conspiracy theories, now they are accessible to everyone and often served up in bite sized chunks to people's social media feeds.
Seems more like they tought it was a Balloon and then tried to prove it was a Balloon. similar to alien believers trying to confirm their idea there is no actual proof of anything in this video.
@@TheZorch No it is not silliness, just because the pentagon have disclosed that there are real UFOs does not mean we should assume every video is real. I love the whole subject of UFOs and going down the rabbit-hole just as much as the next guy, but we should still try to figure out what is real and not accept every semi decent video we see.
@@gamesnstuff6944 also UFO just means something that's unidentified. It doesn't mean an alien spaceship. It's like people who fall back on "well it must God who made it" to whatever science can't explain.
@@hazy33 Very true, it might be alien it might not be. Until it goes from UFO to FO we have no idea what it is. Instances like the ones David Fravor talks about are interesting though, I admit I want it to be aliens but until there is proof of aliens that will remain a want and a wish.
wow. 100 years later you still need to watch the people who own the media whos family invented the nonsense they are debunking to tell you yet again that 100% of what their mothers an sisters said on the other channel on the tv their fathers own ; is nonsense. when will you figure out they are all in on it an against the human race?
Funny how ancient aliens wanted to impart knowledge to ancient mankind but left no better historical written or archeological record than ancient mankind could muster.
@@f1jones544If you leave a cookie with advanced flavoring near a ant hill... it wouldn't last long. Or at best the ants in charge would horde it... for generations even. Denying its existence.
The UFO I saw was sure af not a balloon, ball lightning, or swamp gas. Discounting generations of reports is incredibly unscientific and illogical. But, hey, you get to push your glasses up on your nose and feel smug. Science be praised!
It is exactly the diligence and curiosity missing in conspiracy theorists who only claim to be interested in the question but actually just want to talk nonstop about their wacky, unprovable ideas.

Unwilling to look at the massive breadth of Government officials and contractors everywhere who are now on board with conspiracy theorists in this debate or our own human history which involves all the weird Sumerian stuff that for some reason is mirrored everywhere geographically.
I really want Corridor to make more of these debunking videos like they are so interesting especially when they debunked Project Loon’s balloon that was in the air for 5 hours.
@@Timmeh_The_tyrant it shared most of the same flight path as recorded by the website, the speed was about the same, it was even in the same direction as the way the camera was pointing. Most people didn't even know balloons are out that frequently (3 per day in Nevada) at those heights, with balloons being out there for days moving between cloud altitudes.
It just shows where we're at these days with the internet. Back in the 90's this would have been on Unsolved Mysteries and never solved. Today a handful of nerds can figure out the mystery in a night with their magic phones and a case of Mountain Dew.
@@RobertKreegier It just shows what you can do when you start your analysis from an unbiased position instead of pandering to an audience that low-key wants it to be aliens.
I’m a huge UFO and alien geek, but I actually hella appreciate this In-depth breakdown. I also didn’t know ballon projects were that frequent. It honestly could explain a pretty good chunk of sky floaties we see in the night sky that dart around like that. Super cool
Usually this kind of things are just weather ballons since they are everywhere, specially in this day and age where we need to collect a fuck ton of data for environmental reasons and what not Like the Roswell UFO, not exactly a weather ballon but it was a project by the US goverment to try and spy on the soviet unión nuclear launches using ballons since remember this was a time before spy satelites, the alien shit provided them the perfect cover story to hide a secret project that they were developing to spy on the soviets It's likely that the reason why they don't talk about this stuff is because allowing the people to believe that everything weird that they see on the sky is a alien allows them to hide their very real experimental aircraft like the U-2 or the F-117 which for a while where súper secret experimental aircraft designed to one up the soviets
@@bigpod much like how humanity works if aliens exist and visit earth everyone on it is dead so the fact remains that aliens most likely do exist you just better hope we have intergalactic space travel before we meet any that do
@@bigpod as far as we know it. Yes.

@@danieljensen2626 Its also a comical balloon. So not even under Nasa´s purview, but the FAA´s. They probably looked at the coords and concluded "probably one of those, we will not look into that, we have better things to do."
That “NASA” comment was a red flag for me. People love to throw “NASA” on whatever crackpot thing they have for credibility. “NASA can’t explain…” “NASA confirms…” NASA does have a telescope on Hawaii but it’s certainly not the first Hawaiian telescope anyone would think of; Keck would be that, which has nothing to do with NASA.
@@chikato7106 except Joe went full on science denial over vaccines and became the worst source of misinformation in the US. The problem with Rogan is that he has no background and training in critical thinking and he tends to just accept insane shit without pushback.
People underestimate weather balloons. They’re everywhere (especially near big population centers), can catch light in weird ways because they’re empty and semitransparent, and they can move in erratic ways depending on conditions
exactly. People also forget occam's razor, when you hear hoof beats think horses not zebras. The boys at corridor crew remembered occam's razor. They slowly eliminated all the most common things in the sky until they eventually stumbled upon the answer.
What a nice surprise! A proper interrogation of explanations, followed by research, and finally, the maturity and humility to accept a rational conclusion.
I see these all the time, In Cali, they seem to be fallowing along a narrow path like they are going straight, but they move sporadically... Finally I know I'm not crazy lol
I dunno if it's mature of someone just because they accept a rational conclusion. The whole subject screams irrational going back to what's around you is necessary but it's always a topic of conversation because of how irrational it is, like moving at speeds not possible for us. There's so much unknown to us just going by the sheer size of the universe that it's possible that these irrational things could be rational we're just not capable of see'ing it yet cause we are sooooo in the dark.
@@bender1782 I can sympathize with your hopefullness, but these beings have been examined and explained. They are creatures of a different race, from a lower dimension (the zero dimension actually). The ones we see crossing into our universe are part of a system of control, soon coming to earth. They do not come in peace, they are going to take over the minds of human beings with technology beyond our imagination. Basically, they will give every human everything their heart desires. (They will be able to manipulate reality in front of our eyes). Giving humanity everything the heart desires will quickly result in global warfare. The leader of them is coming soon. This is why the government disclosure was made. Because the science behind their existence is becoming evident.
As an hobby astrophotographer in the past I’ve seen many satellites and able to confirm them on Star Walk app. The truly weird things I’ve seen over the years are when I saw something that appeared to be a satellite and then suddenly shoots off to the horizon in a blink and gone. I’ve seen this happen twice in a decade, any possible explanations for it? 🤔
Same, I've watched several moving objects that I've thought were a satellite or a meteorite and it suddenly speeds of in the opposite direction. One time I was lounging back just absent mindedly gazing up and locked my eye on one particular star for about one minute. It literally seemed to behave exactly like a star gently twinkling completely still, then it lost luminosity for a moment and started moving slowly, then shot off out of the southern hemisphere all within 5seconds. I was a bit stunned. Still don't know what that could've been other than some form of technology.
@@sh.osmanov6792 Ive seen the same phenomenon a third time more recently but it was clear it wasn’t a satellite when it shot off at 90 degrees to its original vector. And it was clear the helicopter that followed it to this point of change was as confused as I 😂
@@sh.osmanov6792 Why not? It's your best bet to label it as human made. We don't know about current military technology and what they are testing. Based on the above I saw something much more spectacular. And still, calling it alien mindlessly is just silly. Don't base your assumptions on whatever wish you may have/ your beliefs. Until you can check something for real the more probable option is still 'human made'.
I'm guessing they didn't put much work into determining what it is. Just had a couple people look at the footage once or twice, didn't immediately recognize the flight path and decided to go back to doing actual work. They probably get sent footage like this several times a week and don't have the resources to allocate to this stuff.
@@insanebmxthomas Balloons can't get to space, because they don't have any thrust to escape Earth's gravity well. Balloons float upwards because of buoyancy, which requires a medium like water or air, under pressure due to the forces of gravity. All balloons rise through the atmosphere until they reach a point where either: A. The atmospheric pressure around them gets so low, that it no longer counteracts the internal pressure of the balloon's contents pushing out. If the balloon's skin isn't strong enough to contain this internal pressure, the skin will tear and release the balloon's contents (it will "pop"). Most balloons, like party balloons for instance, are not strong enough, and will just rise until they burst. Though some, like weather balloons, are designed to survive at high altitudes, because it's important for them to stay that high up for long periods. In those cases... B. They reach an equilibrium point, where the upward force of buoyancy becomes equal to the downward force of the balloon's own weight. A balloon at that height will not rise or fall, so long as its conditions remain stable. This point can be very high - 173,900 ft appears to be the record altitude, from my reading - but a balloon at that altitude isn't in outer space. It's just floating on the surface of the atmosphere, like a ship floating on the surface of the sea. It can't go any higher, because there's no atmosphere in space. No atmosphere means no buoyancy means no rising motion. The Fédération aéronautique internationale has a term for the boundary of space: the "Kármán line". It's 100 km up, and is defined as the point where aerodynamics stop being useful, and astrodynamics must be used instead to maintain flight. No balloon will ever cross the Kármán line, because they are devices that are fundamentally dependent on aerodynamics to function.
Why would they need a separate channel for that? This channel is successful and it's reaching their audience. There's no need to start over with a new channel. Terrible advice.
nahhh i think thats enough. last time they make another channel called Guillotine Channel, they didnt active there in 2 years now. i think they just stick with Corridor Crew
@@subtractivemusic some times separate channels are used to get separate analytics as if you mix them too much you end up with worse ad revenues and what not... looks better when 70% of the people who visit your channel watch everything then when 2 groups of 40% of your channel watch 2 separate groups of videos on your channel
So rad to see this get resolved. Jordan is a friend and in our circle we went around... in circles.... trying to figure out what this was. Every time we thought we had a theory there would be 1 piece that just didn't fit and round we went again. I refused to believe "aliens", lol. It ended IIRC with two camps, one, aliens. The other, something man-made but we don't know what. Glad to see this solved and what a solid job! Well done guys.
@@DoubleAAce Yes. People say “rad” in America. Wonderful observation. Where are you from and what is something you say there that us Americans wouldn’t say here?
Say whatever you want. Words don’t go out of fashion. I’m 25 and most of my friend group will take slang from our parents ironically and eventually it’ll just be a part of our vocabulary including Rad.
I can't believe NASA couldn't figure this out and a bunch of friends joking around for TH-cam video did. Great job guys, lets take some of that NASA government fund money and send it your way! lol
They don’t figure out, because there is nothing to figure out (also they worked with google, so they already knew). Btw, they can detect any object before even entry. Also NASA is only one space agency from ~60.
Just wanted to comment on the satellite path part. Different satellite orbits can look very interesting from the ground. A geosynchronous orbit actually makes an infinity symbol when observed from the ground, while a molniya orbit will look like a rapid movement, looks like it's decelerating, stops, then falls back down. You can't see most satellites, but it is still possible depending how the sun may be reflecting off of them at night (as they may be too high to be eclipsed by the earth). If they're in a maneuver (which can be frequent for LEO birds) they may "pop" into sight for a few seconds through the reflection and will appear as a shooting star. That with the combination of high eccentric orbits can make an object appear almost still, then shoot off in a direction especially when viewed in a time lapse. The point being, satellites are undergoing a constant orbit, but it doesn't always look like that when observed from the ground.
Thank you! I sent you guys a similar video from my phone looking at the moon one night. I guess the rise in "ufo" sightings all over the media and the web, can all be explained away now. Your level of deep dive Sherlock Holmes work on the spot really hit the mark. I love it !
ok they narrowed it down to that specific location explain that phenomenon happening all over the world simultaneous using the same so called credible research in fact what makes them credible who give them credibility? One thing for sure two things for certain is it's too far away for it to be a plane or to even tell if it's a balloon, and it's a night and the erratic moves and moments are unlike a plane of any sort. putting up still images of air maps and pictures of big ass balloons with crazy institutional names and articulating it to fit your narrative isn't debunking are proving anything just merely preying on the minds of individuals that have not reach the levels of discernment when using their own minds.... believe nothing question everything. ..... we're all living in an unprecedented time of change as change is ever constant. I don't know what it is who really knows i mean do we really live on a spinning globe or on a flat plan .... everything is heightened intensified and sensualized through television and the media so much these days people don't know how to internalize the things that their seeing or feeling most thoughts are not even their own imagine that.
This is pretty ground level stuff, there was a time 4chan was engaged in a battle to screw with Shia Labeuf setting up a flag shown on webcam for I forgot what reason. He moved the flag because 4ch kept trolling it, in the end he set it up on a pole, camera pointed to it, only sky and flag visible. Impossible to track, right? Well, people noticed planes. Planes taking always the same route. They started doing some crazy math, found the spot roughly, sent a guy honking on the road to confirm it. It worked and they got it. Should be an internet historian video on it, it's the stuff of legends.
@@Galf506 and another time 4chan literally solved a math problem that was previously unsolvable just because they wanna know how fast they can watch their favorite anime the fastest way possible
@@kruleworld technically, some videos are just so low quality and so old, that the only conclusion someone can have based on it is "no conclusion". And that's very much the thing that most ufologists "prey on" - as in their mind, if there's a possibility that it was aliens, then it's probably aliens. In this video corridor was working with pristine materials with wealth of information, so it was perfect opportunity to find that it wasn't aliens. 4Chan users likely had lots of opportunities to have something solved, but we only hear about those cases that they were able to solve - other stuff can stay unsolved forever even if everyone was solving the mystery, simply due to erosion of quality, information, links between pieces of information disconnecting from each other due to no one caring about it early enough, etc. So no, not all 100% of alien videos can be solved. But enough can be to be able to reasonably conclude that "it's never aliens" is a good enough conjecture to live by.
I wish all UFO enthusiasts would put their think cap more often, just like you guys did. I don’t really see a UFO spending 5 hours in roughly the same spot hovering over nothing… (excluding Area 51) All the “official” UFO/UAP we see don’t stay still for very long…
“I sent it to NASA and even they didn’t know” What really happened: “Hey we got sent footage about a UFO siting” “another one? Ugh, we’ve got more important things to do just add it to the pile”
Dude : "NASA, have you checked my video yet ?" NASA : "Yeah we totally did, real mystery your video about hum... The thing... Couldn't figure it out... Sorry we couldn't help more"
This is what the world of UFO's needs, level-headed common sense talking people. Not people who refuse to simply figure it out, but instead choose to just shout "ALIENS".
@@roybenari9472 How about when they spend the whole rest of the video finding out the right answer? And the alien part clearly wasn't meant to be taken seriously.
This was really well done. When anyone says "a real UFO video" the automatic presumption is "aliens" when in reality it's "unknown." Thank you for coming to a realistic conclusion. Also, if that really was a Project Loon vehicle, then hats off to Google. That's impressive technology.
@@bobbah676 - Although with a conclusion that can be objectively tested (i.e. contact Google and see if there was a balloon in that position at that time).
I couldn’t agree more and yet I say this as a recent convert to believing UFOs are out there. In my opinion the second biggest barrier to us having more information (after the US government) is career nut cases who chase big foot
Hey, Jake and Corridor Crew editors, I want you to know that even though we mostly see Jake when he reads the ads, you do such a great job. Because you are so transparent with the ad timer, I watch them through to completion out of respect. Keep up the good work!
@@kruleworld corridor has a dozen employees to pay. Google doesn’t « pay » channels. All the revenue is coming from the google ad system anyway, so if they didn’t have jake’s commercial partnerships, they would still get their revenue from ads. But yeah, it’s not enough to pay salaries and taxes for that many employees.
@@kruleworld According to some random auto analytic website I found Corridor probably only makes a couple grand off a video. This is an assumption because Adsense only pays for non skipped ads, and most people skip and/or use adblocker. You get maybe 18 cents per ad watched on average. They make basically nothing from youtube ads for a company of 10-20 people with a big studio they have to rent, salaries to pay, benefits, taxes etc. They probably make a few grand off each sponsored ad deal; maybe 2-6k. Most of their revenue now probably comes from their website and any videos that happen to have gone viral in the past. I'm sure they also get contracts for things like when they did the Battlefield show and lifeline.
Excellent vlog. This is what real skeptical debunking is all about. Looking for the most obvious logical first vs the incredible. Impressive and entertaining...
Hard to believe NASA couldn't figure out this was a balloon especially considering how the government's most generic explanation for UFOs is "weather balloons". Assuming the Corridor crew is right about this...
I agree with all the other replies. The NASA budget is pennies compared to the US GDP. They have a lot of important things to do and about ten times as many that are denied funding. I can’t imagine there’s much enthusiasm for the constant questions and harassment they probably get about aliens. Besides, the US military budget is so insanely overfunded that they know it’s nothing serious if the military isn’t already on it with all their top-tier equipment.
Even though this literally was just a weather balloon, I can't even be mad as watching you guys combine your knowledge and utilize the resources of the internet to solve this mystery was very interesting and highly entertaining.
Another helpful tool that came up in that raw data is that the coma was consistent with all other point light sources in the shots. This gives both an indication about how far away the light source is and how big it is in terms of arc length. Something very high that's very small fits perfectly. (This would also be helpful in confirming authenticity since coma is part of the optical signature of a particular lens and changes throughout the field of view -- aka, it would be very difficult to fake and make look right)
All good points, except I'd guess that the difference in the coma of point sources at 8000 feet, 30000 feet, or infinity would be basically indistinguishable.
When people say UFOs are just weather balloons and everyone is like, yeah ok, sure it is. But then you find out one company launched 3 balloons every day for a month, kinda feels like balloons aren’t too far fetched anymore. 😂
except in this case they weren't weather balloons they were internet balloons, which... is STILL not the weirdest experiment I've ever heard from google.
Well, balloons are dirt cheap (compared to anything else flyable), does not require humans onboard, can be even equipped with solar-powered equipment, they can fly super high and can be equipped with any kind of sensors, cameras or antennas you wish to put on them and can be as big as a bus. The only downside: can't really control the winds so they're not practical for precision flight. Anything else: suuuuuper easy to do.
It’s when you have flying objects of obvious large size that move faster than everything else while also making deliberate turns or maneuvers that demonstrate the object is reacting that you run into situations that balloons are not possibly an explanation… Personally, years ago I was outside just stargazing and saw some “thing” flying high above. It was night time but it had steady red and green lights, but weren’t blinking. At first, I was thinking it was either a helicopter or a drone, but then I realized that if it was a helicopter, from where it appeared to be, it would have been very audible, but I didn’t hear it. So I figured it HAD to be a drone. I watched it hover motionless for nearly 45 minutes and just thought “wtf is this drone owner doing? Did they start flying it and have to step away for something and forget about it?? But then it started ascending. Higher and higher. Not stopping. It was a fairly clear night, so it was obvious it was climbing higher and higher. Eventually it went so high I lost sight of it. What drone owner would do this? Would it’s batteries have lasted long enough for it to maintain a steady altitude for over an hour and still climb up so high that visual is lost? I waited for around 30 minutes and never saw anything in its general area descend or fall, when I would think that a drone would have at that point. No idea what it could have been. Something that hovered motionless almost an hour and then went straight up and never came back down.
@@kidwajagstang it still sounds like something man-made. Red and green lights are standard aviation visual signals for position. I guess it could be some research or testing hover device - ballon or drone. Those 45 minutes of hover could be also for telemetry readings, instrument calibrations, data check, possible issues to debug etc. My guess is they did some readings/checks at nigt - the lights are mandatory since that drone/balloon is still flying in a controlled aerospace (you need flight approval for anything bigger than a commercial drone and capable of flight above 300m, plus you must comply with other extra regulations for these kinds of flights) so this is why you have the visual red/green lights - to make it more safe for other pilots that could end up near it (even if their flight plan is not intended to). Usually they launch balloons during the day, but if you have some kind of experiment at night then it could be required to have the extra lights you don't usually see on them for visual position. Also, if the balloon would climb above controlled aerospace you could turn off the lights to save battery for other instruments, let's say around 15-20.000m above since you're out of risk of colliding with an aircraft or anything else.
First time seeing you guys! That was fun and well done! New subscriber here. I'm usually not a fan of "debunking" as a thing, since so many debunked tend to be as dogmatic about doing no research whatsoever while asking for someone else to provide them proof they can go look up on their own, as UFO enthusiast can be about believing everything is a UFO. Great job!
Many years ago, I was using a small telescope (60mm aperture) showing some friends the moon and stuff, and noticed a "star" that seemed to be moving with the naked eye, I knew this was not a satellite, so I tried to get my telescope on it, and finally got it into focus, it was roundish, and white, of course I was hoping this was a saucer, but alas after a few moments I witnessed it "pop". it was a weather balloon. I wonder how many of these things are let go everyday world wide.
It has been said that 95% of UFO sightings are explainable and are man-made but 5% fall into the "U" category, which is "unexplainable" and "unidentified" and "unidentifiable".
Baloons don't emit emit any light, so you have a problem with your weather baloon theory. I mean... I'm not saying it was aliens... but it was definitely aliens.
Not just military. The agriculture and construction industries also use high endurance drones (Skyfront comes to mind but there are others too) which use gas hybrid engines for many hour flights. Edit: Global Hawk is also a fixed wing, so it probably wouldn't fly like that. That kind of flight path would probably have to be a multicopter like Skyfront
It does illustrate a very important thing to remember: our views of the world are based on our own experiences. The Corridor guys have a lot of experience with working with one type of drone, but didn't think about a different type that they're unfamiliar with. So when we're trying to figure something out, we can't say "I don't know what that is, therefore it's aliens/ghosts/magic/god". You have to stop at "I don't know what that is", and hopefully that prompts you to try to learn more.
@@RebelEight-z7q That's true but to conserve energy and through that extend the time of flight a drone could also just have moved a lot slower. Still I think the balloon is probably the correct answer here.
As much as I would've LOVED to know this was an irrefutable evidence of a UFO, I'm satisfied for the FIRST time with the "It was an air balloon" answer. Good job guys ! Way to go and hurray for logical thinking.
How could you ever have even considered it was under any sort of intelligent control? So sad that 90% of the world are now so fckn stupid that these jokers can make themselves look so knowledgeable.
To those who are watching: they conclude it's balloon. They had a five hour footage of this moving object. But they show " speed up" or hyperlapse video, which make it look like it's moving very fast in different direction, like UFO. This is how you make money on TH-cam.
This was so much more satisfying than "we tried and couldnt find out what it is so it's a mystery" I had no idea there were internet balloons like this! I learned a new thing and I'm not at all disappointed its now an FO than a UFO. Great work guys!
This was top tier content. Their reactions to the footage were so funny!! They have so much knowledge of VFX, maybe they should make a series of them reacting to clips from movies! I feel like it’d be really successful.
Man, beside of the React Episodes these debunks are always so great to watch... And then there are Wrens comparison videos... You know what I just love all of your content. But I enjoy these videos, because if I would happen to have an annoying friend who watches things like these and screams *„Aliens!“* I can always send them the link of these videos. Love your work guys!
We need more of this debunking. The "do your own research'' crowd will fall into a pit of confirmation bias, and look at a thousand commentary videos claiming aliens while completely ignoring the one video that shows otherwise.
@@Feroce Nothing wrong doing your own research, the problem is people don't know how to research and vet information properly. You can Google yourself into believing anything you want to believe, that is not how science, deductive reasoning, and research works.
New Sam is edgy, he's "in your face." You've heard the expression, "let's get busy"? Well, this is a guy who gets "biz-zay!" Consistently and thoroughly.
honestly was thinking pretty early on, that the way it moves looks just like when you see a lost helium balloon moving in the distance. I think y’all nailed it.
"Could be an alien balloon." Now that's an interesting theory to think about. It would actually be a good way to study the planet. One of the major ideas for exploration of Venus is to send probes that float in the atmosphere on balloons.
Why stop at balloons? Why not also planes? What about cars? What if every time you encounter a car being driven like they have no idea how to use the roads it was actually driven by an alien exploring the planet undercover?
i had to made some estimates about the height of this loon(but used info of the company) and arc angle we are watching, but then it took some really easy calculations to estimate its speed at around 7km/h(if i tweaked the angle it would be between 5 - 10km/h), so that would definitely fall into what these loons might be doing at 20km altitude(yes, you get faster wind speeds at this altitude(around 25km/h), but the air pressure is quite low, so it doesnt push that hard), good job guys, looks like you have identified a loon:) (sorry for metric units, but its a lot easier for me)
It seems many people also did not stop to think that the time lapse gives the impression that the balloon was moving across the sky and passing across the view when it was just the earth rotating and the stars passing behind the balloon. Love that you did the math.
It was kinda buggin me so i tried to estimate its speed at various altitudes and arc angles of view and it looks like there is no way it would exceed the wind speed anywhere. If it was flying at jet stream altitudes(8-15km) it would even be terribly slow compared to wind speeds and under it not that terribly slow but still too slow. So i think its pretty save to say that this is above that level. Which points me to the loon again. I just had to make sure this is not bs:)
As an astronomer I have seen many unexplainable lights in the sky, there is even a specific type I see regularly. This type is a very faint red orb ( you will need high magnification to see that) that flashes bright white ever 21 seconds and moves much slower than a satellite, it also changes direction. I have observed these on countless occasions.
A faint red light on something moving slower than a satellite sounds like the port side navigation of a plane, or if you're red-green colourblind, either navigation light of a plane. I imagine dealing with navigation lights is probably a bit of a bother for red-green colourblind people. Regularly flashing lights sounds, similarly, like an anti collision light, but those are usually a lot faster than once every 21 seconds, so that's what makes this really weird.
@@handleerror I'm no expert, but I think the delay between flashes would be the same, regardless of the distance from the light. The time taken for the first flash to reach you would be delayed, but then the intermittence of the flashes would still have the same 21 seconds. As I'm typing this, I'm starting to wonder 😅 Now I just have to figure out how to word this question into Google!
@@RAFMnBgaming I am an amateur astronomer, I know the difference between a plane going 500 miles and hour, 3 miles high and something that takes 20 minutes to cross Orion's belt in the sky. I am also using magnification levels that can pick out people in the windows of moving aircraft.
Imagine if it was actually aliens and they're watching this right now being, "Oh thank goodness humans are always in denial, Jeffery please stop forgetting to turn on your invisibility"
My neighbor was always filming the skies above my house. After a couple years I asked him what he was doing. He waa ratger forthcoming and waa a fire marshal or sergeant. He went by Thor of Colorado and one day hey handed me a video tape and a cs full of evidence he collected of UfOs that were above us. If i can find the vhs tape i can send it in. He also filmed in infinity mode on a sony cam.
i love UFO’s and little green men as much as the next guy, and spend lots of time listening to paranormal podcasts, but i also love solving a good mystery and you guys seemed to nail this one! it was really fun to watch.👍🏻
Too assume a UFO is an alien craft is such a ridiculous leap of logic it’s makes me lose faith in humans ability to think critically. No aliens have visited earth. It’s ludicrous. The expenditure of resources to leave one habitable planet and come to another and steal a cow or just hide?! Come on people! No way ever.
@@Akkbar21 I think the timing would be difficult. But I don't think it's ridiculous and I don't presume to know their limitations. We can't visit beyond our moon but presume other species that are most likely much older than us have the same limitations? Some would call that ridiculous. But it's quite possible if someone were to visit 1) they might check what's in our water first and then leave 2) could hit land when we were primitive and sparse in number 3) could just hit empty land 4) could hit when we're fighting and decide FTS peace out 5) may visit after we've destroyed either ourselves or the planet or both. The timing for a visit would likely not work out if they have to travel a long distance (time). If they've found an easier and cheaper and faster method, I doubt a smarter species would want to hang out with us. We can't even get people to wear masks, social distance, and wash frequently (let alone take a vaccine). We're not a very advanced species.
Its a reflection off the window from a light source in the vehicle. The camera has trouble picking it up when clouds are behind it, cause the iris is closing to adjust for the change in brightness.
I'll never forger how I debunked my own UFO. It turned out to be a large bird hovering erratically in the updraft from skyscrapers, then taking off fast when it saw prey. It glowed in the skyscrapers' uplights. I was so bummed. It took a pair of very strong binoculars to figure out.
Had a similar encounter with a group of geese at night. Only realized what I was dealing with was when I heard some distinctive honking noises coming from my UFO.
This video was so well done. It was engaging the entire time and I could follow the entire thing without stopping to think "Wait, what does that thing he said mean?" Also, that A51 fake out was hilarious. Would definitely watch more of this.
My wife and I have seen what looks like stars that speed around the sky way quicker than any plane. Sometimes they kinda chase each other around, making sharp 25-30° turns. That was when we lived in northern BC on the Alaska highway. I haven't seen them in years though. I have met several people that have seen them.
Jesus, this was so damn satisfying. It's crazy how much brain power these dudes have, and how rationally they look at things. I wish I worked with them.
if only they did not overeact so loudly all the time ;) I love the guys to pieces, but some videos are coming close to my annoyance treshold and i have to force myself to watch to the end. and several people shouting "whoooooaaaaat" at the same time is one of the fastest methods to get me there :D
@@my3dviews The flight path they showed was not from the same time as the video, it was just a random example from the company. They were just commenting that it zig zagged in a similar way to the one in the video. They're still most likely right, but someone would need to contact the company to actually try to get the exact flight path for the one in the video.
@@danieljensen2626 actually, if you check the date niko provide for the footage (9:03) it says june 2020, which is the month Sam says the company was launching them every 3 days(iir the video correctly) and they mentioned some of those being in the air for +300 days. Did they find the exact one, not really, but it wasnt some random one, it was several that line up with the video date
The little orb light type thing at 12.00 minutes is what I used to see a lot at the back of mine. All looked the same and went if different directions but all came from a central point in the sky fairly low.
"By George, I think he's got it!" Outstanding work, guys; this puzzle was a real head-scratcher for me, but I really think that you figured it out. "Loon balloon"...that's worth a derisive snicker. Also, the old 'weather balloon' justification for UFO sightings might just be a cliché for a really valid reason.
I’ve worked on and off with high altitude scientific balloons for decades, and “it’s a balloon” was my first thought. I’m glad you guys came to the same conclusion and actually found a record of that payload.
I think the flight record they found was just a random example from that company, not the one that would have actually been recorded here. But I'm sure the company has those records.
If you have caught any Alien UFOs, Sasquatch sightings, Ghosts, Crab People, or any other unexplainable phenomena on camera and want us to debunk (or bunk) it, then send it over to debunk@corridordigital.com and you may see it featured in our next video!

This was so satisfying. The main thing that would be easy to miss is that we're watching that dot moving around on the screen smoothly, but it's a 5 hour timelapse, with a photo for each frame taken every, what, 30 seconds? A minute? If it had been an aircraft or a drone of any kind, it would move too much between frames and would be popping in and out of different areas of the shot each frame. The fact it's moving so smoothly means it's actually going incredibly slowly. Balloon makes perfect sense.

I’m a huge UFO and alien geek, but I actually hella appreciate this In-depth breakdown. I also didn’t know ballon projects were that frequent. It honestly could explain a pretty good chunk of sky floaties we see in the night sky that dart around like that. Super cool
chance that aliens exist(or did exist or will exist) is 99.99999% but a chance that they never been anywhere near earth is about the same.
Usually this kind of things are just weather ballons since they are everywhere, specially in this day and age where we need to collect a fuck ton of data for environmental reasons and what not
Like the Roswell UFO, not exactly a weather ballon but it was a project by the US goverment to try and spy on the soviet unión nuclear launches using ballons since remember this was a time before spy satelites, the alien shit provided them the perfect cover story to hide a secret project that they were developing to spy on the soviets
It's likely that the reason why they don't talk about this stuff is because allowing the people to believe that everything weird that they see on the sky is a alien allows them to hide their very real experimental aircraft like the U-2 or the F-117 which for a while where súper secret experimental aircraft designed to one up the soviets

People underestimate weather balloons. They’re everywhere (especially near big population centers), can catch light in weird ways because they’re empty and semitransparent, and they can move in erratic ways depending on conditions
since they're amygdaloid, the light bounces around within and is directed downwards, making them extremely bright under certain conditions

What research? This video was staged
As an hobby astrophotographer in the past I’ve seen many satellites and able to confirm them on Star Walk app. The truly weird things I’ve seen over the years are when I saw something that appeared to be a satellite and then suddenly shoots off to the horizon in a blink and gone. I’ve seen this happen twice in a decade, any possible explanations for it? 🤔
Same, I've watched several moving objects that I've thought were a satellite or a meteorite and it suddenly speeds of in the opposite direction. One time I was lounging back just absent mindedly gazing up and locked my eye on one particular star for about one minute. It literally seemed to behave exactly like a star gently twinkling completely still, then it lost luminosity for a moment and started moving slowly, then shot off out of the southern hemisphere all within 5seconds. I was a bit stunned. Still don't know what that could've been other than some form of technology.
I've seen similar dots many times while camping. They can move extremely fast in every direction. There is no way it's something human made.
@@sh.osmanov6792 Ive seen the same phenomenon a third time more recently but it was clear it wasn’t a satellite when it shot off at 90 degrees to its original vector. And it was clear the helicopter that followed it to this point of change was as confused as I 😂

@@sh.osmanov6792
Why not? It's your best bet to label it as human made. We don't know about current military technology and what they are testing.
Based on the above I saw something much more spectacular. And still, calling it alien mindlessly is just silly. Don't base your assumptions on whatever wish you may have/ your beliefs. Until you can check something for real the more probable option is still 'human made'.
I can't believe NASA have never heard of balloons before.
@@RedButtonTV1 Lmfao
they do it for hype. got bills to pay, mouths to feed
I'm guessing they didn't put much work into determining what it is. Just had a couple people look at the footage once or twice, didn't immediately recognize the flight path and decided to go back to doing actual work. They probably get sent footage like this several times a week and don't have the resources to allocate to this stuff.
especially since ballons probably went to space before NASA (never a straight answer) did.
@@insanebmxthomas Balloons can't get to space, because they don't have any thrust to escape Earth's gravity well.
Balloons float upwards because of buoyancy, which requires a medium like water or air, under pressure due to the forces of gravity. All balloons rise through the atmosphere until they reach a point where either:
A. The atmospheric pressure around them gets so low, that it no longer counteracts the internal pressure of the balloon's contents pushing out. If the balloon's skin isn't strong enough to contain this internal pressure, the skin will tear and release the balloon's contents (it will "pop"). Most balloons, like party balloons for instance, are not strong enough, and will just rise until they burst. Though some, like weather balloons, are designed to survive at high altitudes, because it's important for them to stay that high up for long periods. In those cases...
B. They reach an equilibrium point, where the upward force of buoyancy becomes equal to the downward force of the balloon's own weight. A balloon at that height will not rise or fall, so long as its conditions remain stable. This point can be very high - 173,900 ft appears to be the record altitude, from my reading - but a balloon at that altitude isn't in outer space. It's just floating on the surface of the atmosphere, like a ship floating on the surface of the sea. It can't go any higher, because there's no atmosphere in space. No atmosphere means no buoyancy means no rising motion.
The Fédération aéronautique internationale has a term for the boundary of space: the "Kármán line". It's 100 km up, and is defined as the point where aerodynamics stop being useful, and astrodynamics must be used instead to maintain flight. No balloon will ever cross the Kármán line, because they are devices that are fundamentally dependent on aerodynamics to function.

Just wanted to comment on the satellite path part. Different satellite orbits can look very interesting from the ground. A geosynchronous orbit actually makes an infinity symbol when observed from the ground, while a molniya orbit will look like a rapid movement, looks like it's decelerating, stops, then falls back down.
You can't see most satellites, but it is still possible depending how the sun may be reflecting off of them at night (as they may be too high to be eclipsed by the earth). If they're in a maneuver (which can be frequent for LEO birds) they may "pop" into sight for a few seconds through the reflection and will appear as a shooting star. That with the combination of high eccentric orbits can make an object appear almost still, then shoot off in a direction especially when viewed in a time lapse.
The point being, satellites are undergoing a constant orbit, but it doesn't always look like that when observed from the ground.
It will look like a neatly-curving track though, whether that's a regular line or arc or loop or a sigmoid thing or whatever else. This is not that.
Agreed bro
Geosynchronous satellites are parked in really high orbits. I don't think most of them are visible to the naked eye
@@mcarpen89 notice how bright the stars are in the images; they're taken on long exposure.
Satellites were hardly seen after dusk / dawn
Thank you! I sent you guys a similar video from my phone looking at the moon one night. I guess the rise in "ufo" sightings all over the media and the web, can all be explained away now. Your level of deep dive Sherlock Holmes work on the spot really hit the mark. I love it !
ok they narrowed it down to that specific location explain that phenomenon happening all over the world simultaneous using the same so called credible research in fact what makes them credible who give them credibility? One thing for sure two things for certain is it's too far away for it to be a plane or to even tell if it's a balloon, and it's a night and the erratic moves and moments are unlike a plane of any sort. putting up still images of air maps and pictures of big ass balloons with crazy institutional names and articulating it to fit your narrative isn't debunking are proving anything just merely preying on the minds of individuals that have not reach the levels of discernment when using their own minds.... believe nothing question everything. ..... we're all living in an unprecedented time of change as change is ever constant. I don't know what it is who really knows i mean do we really live on a spinning globe or on a flat plan .... everything is heightened intensified and sensualized through television and the media so much these days people don't know how to internalize the things that their seeing or feeling most thoughts are not even their own imagine that.
My takeaway from this is just how incredible it is what people can do from their phones. None of you even had to get out of your chairs to solve this.
This is pretty ground level stuff, there was a time 4chan was engaged in a battle to screw with Shia Labeuf setting up a flag shown on webcam for I forgot what reason. He moved the flag because 4ch kept trolling it, in the end he set it up on a pole, camera pointed to it, only sky and flag visible. Impossible to track, right? Well, people noticed planes. Planes taking always the same route. They started doing some crazy math, found the spot roughly, sent a guy honking on the road to confirm it. It worked and they got it. Should be an internet historian video on it, it's the stuff of legends.
@@kruleworld what the fuck is a UFOlogist?

@@Galf506 and another time 4chan literally solved a math problem that was previously unsolvable just because they wanna know how fast they can watch their favorite anime the fastest way possible
@@kruleworld technically, some videos are just so low quality and so old, that the only conclusion someone can have based on it is "no conclusion". And that's very much the thing that most ufologists "prey on" - as in their mind, if there's a possibility that it was aliens, then it's probably aliens.
In this video corridor was working with pristine materials with wealth of information, so it was perfect opportunity to find that it wasn't aliens. 4Chan users likely had lots of opportunities to have something solved, but we only hear about those cases that they were able to solve - other stuff can stay unsolved forever even if everyone was solving the mystery, simply due to erosion of quality, information, links between pieces of information disconnecting from each other due to no one caring about it early enough, etc.
So no, not all 100% of alien videos can be solved. But enough can be to be able to reasonably conclude that "it's never aliens" is a good enough conjecture to live by.

Hard to believe NASA couldn't figure out this was a balloon especially considering how the government's most generic explanation for UFOs is "weather balloons". Assuming the Corridor crew is right about this...
they probably just dont care, look at it for a minute and said they dont know
PR said "ain't nobody got time for that"
When they say "NASA" couldnt figure it out, it probably just means the dude answering the email wasn't bothered to look more into it
well the guy who filmed it asked some random NASA people working at one site who spent who knows how long actually looking at it
I agree with all the other replies. The NASA budget is pennies compared to the US GDP. They have a lot of important things to do and about ten times as many that are denied funding. I can’t imagine there’s much enthusiasm for the constant questions and harassment they probably get about aliens. Besides, the US military budget is so insanely overfunded that they know it’s nothing serious if the military isn’t already on it with all their top-tier equipment.
The real mystery to me is how anyone first spotted this in a time-lapse video, it's so small.
Even though this literally was just a weather balloon, I can't even be mad as watching you guys combine your knowledge and utilize the resources of the internet to solve this mystery was very interesting and highly entertaining.
*_”Project Loon… What Is Project Loon?”_*
ball~loon
bruh spoilers
I think it's an internet-loon
Don’t worry. I’ll be upset for you.
Another helpful tool that came up in that raw data is that the coma was consistent with all other point light sources in the shots. This gives both an indication about how far away the light source is and how big it is in terms of arc length. Something very high that's very small fits perfectly. (This would also be helpful in confirming authenticity since coma is part of the optical signature of a particular lens and changes throughout the field of view -- aka, it would be very difficult to fake and make look right)
All good points, except I'd guess that the difference in the coma of point sources at 8000 feet, 30000 feet, or infinity would be basically indistinguishable.
COMA?
@@Hut153 look up "coma camera" or "coma light" or anything like that and you'll find out what we're talking about.
When people say UFOs are just weather balloons and everyone is like, yeah ok, sure it is. But then you find out one company launched 3 balloons every day for a month, kinda feels like balloons aren’t too far fetched anymore. 😂
except in this case they weren't weather balloons they were internet balloons, which... is STILL not the weirdest experiment I've ever heard from google.
Well, balloons are dirt cheap (compared to anything else flyable), does not require humans onboard, can be even equipped with solar-powered equipment, they can fly super high and can be equipped with any kind of sensors, cameras or antennas you wish to put on them and can be as big as a bus.
The only downside: can't really control the winds so they're not practical for precision flight. Anything else: suuuuuper easy to do.
It’s when you have flying objects of obvious large size that move faster than everything else while also making deliberate turns or maneuvers that demonstrate the object is reacting that you run into situations that balloons are not possibly an explanation…
Personally, years ago I was outside just stargazing and saw some “thing” flying high above. It was night time but it had steady red and green lights, but weren’t blinking. At first, I was thinking it was either a helicopter or a drone, but then I realized that if it was a helicopter, from where it appeared to be, it would have been very audible, but I didn’t hear it. So I figured it HAD to be a drone. I watched it hover motionless for nearly 45 minutes and just thought “wtf is this drone owner doing? Did they start flying it and have to step away for something and forget about it?? But then it started ascending. Higher and higher. Not stopping. It was a fairly clear night, so it was obvious it was climbing higher and higher. Eventually it went so high I lost sight of it. What drone owner would do this? Would it’s batteries have lasted long enough for it to maintain a steady altitude for over an hour and still climb up so high that visual is lost? I waited for around 30 minutes and never saw anything in its general area descend or fall, when I would think that a drone would have at that point. No idea what it could have been. Something that hovered motionless almost an hour and then went straight up and never came back down.
@@kidwajagstang it still sounds like something man-made. Red and green lights are standard aviation visual signals for position. I guess it could be some research or testing hover device - ballon or drone. Those 45 minutes of hover could be also for telemetry readings, instrument calibrations, data check, possible issues to debug etc. My guess is they did some readings/checks at nigt - the lights are mandatory since that drone/balloon is still flying in a controlled aerospace (you need flight approval for anything bigger than a commercial drone and capable of flight above 300m, plus you must comply with other extra regulations for these kinds of flights) so this is why you have the visual red/green lights - to make it more safe for other pilots that could end up near it (even if their flight plan is not intended to). Usually they launch balloons during the day, but if you have some kind of experiment at night then it could be required to have the extra lights you don't usually see on them for visual position. Also, if the balloon would climb above controlled aerospace you could turn off the lights to save battery for other instruments, let's say around 15-20.000m above since you're out of risk of colliding with an aircraft or anything else.
nah man, when aliens come to visit, the government release loads of balloons to cover their tracks. wake up sheeple!
First time seeing you guys! That was fun and well done!
New subscriber here.
I'm usually not a fan of "debunking" as a thing, since so many debunked tend to be as dogmatic about doing no research whatsoever while asking for someone else to provide them proof they can go look up on their own, as UFO enthusiast can be about believing everything is a UFO. Great job!
I'd love to see Corridor Crew do a lot more of these UFO videos.
Having a competent group break these down is *awesome*.
I'm confused, do you want our whacky goods of Corridor Crew do that or do you want a competent group taking it on? :D
Many years ago, I was using a small telescope (60mm aperture) showing some friends the moon and stuff, and noticed a "star" that seemed to be moving with the naked eye, I knew this was not a satellite, so I tried to get my telescope on it, and finally got it into focus, it was roundish, and white, of course I was hoping this was a saucer, but alas after a few moments I witnessed it "pop". it was a weather balloon.
I wonder how many of these things are let go everyday world wide.
It has been said that 95% of UFO sightings are explainable and are man-made but 5% fall into the "U" category, which is "unexplainable" and "unidentified" and "unidentifiable".
bruh
Ny yankee CAP no brim

Baloons don't emit emit any light, so you have a problem with your weather baloon theory.

In that close-up shot you can clearly see a ballon and something shiny that could be reflecting the sunlight / moonlight
Correction: There are no CIVILIAN drones which have a 5 hour flight time. There are PLENTY of military drones which do. Global Hawk being one of them.
Or just a high altitude balloon.
Not just military. The agriculture and construction industries also use high endurance drones (Skyfront comes to mind but there are others too) which use gas hybrid engines for many hour flights.
Edit: Global Hawk is also a fixed wing, so it probably wouldn't fly like that. That kind of flight path would probably have to be a multicopter like Skyfront
Drones may have moved significantly quicker than what was captured in the timelapse video
It does illustrate a very important thing to remember: our views of the world are based on our own experiences. The Corridor guys have a lot of experience with working with one type of drone, but didn't think about a different type that they're unfamiliar with. So when we're trying to figure something out, we can't say "I don't know what that is, therefore it's aliens/ghosts/magic/god". You have to stop at "I don't know what that is", and hopefully that prompts you to try to learn more.
@@RebelEight-z7q That's true but to conserve energy and through that extend the time of flight a drone could also just have moved a lot slower. Still I think the balloon is probably the correct answer here.
As much as I would've LOVED to know this was an irrefutable evidence of a UFO, I'm satisfied for the FIRST time with the "It was an air balloon" answer. Good job guys ! Way to go and hurray for logical thinking.

i had to made some estimates about the height of this loon(but used info of the company) and arc angle we are watching, but then it took some really easy calculations to estimate its speed at around 7km/h(if i tweaked the angle it would be between 5 - 10km/h), so that would definitely fall into what these loons might be doing at 20km altitude(yes, you get faster wind speeds at this altitude(around 25km/h), but the air pressure is quite low, so it doesnt push that hard), good job guys, looks like you have identified a loon:) (sorry for metric units, but its a lot easier for me)
Don't apologize for the superior unit of measure.
It seems many people also did not stop to think that the time lapse gives the impression that the balloon was moving across the sky and passing across the view when it was just the earth rotating and the stars passing behind the balloon. Love that you did the math.
@@justintime3384 i think most of viewers of this channel are from usa:) If they need to do all the conversions they are welcomed to do so.
It was kinda buggin me so i tried to estimate its speed at various altitudes and arc angles of view and it looks like there is no way it would exceed the wind speed anywhere. If it was flying at jet stream altitudes(8-15km) it would even be terribly slow compared to wind speeds and under it not that terribly slow but still too slow. So i think its pretty save to say that this is above that level. Which points me to the loon again. I just had to make sure this is not bs:)
This was a good video! thank you all!
As an astronomer I have seen many unexplainable lights in the sky, there is even a specific type I see regularly. This type is a very faint red orb ( you will need high magnification to see that) that flashes bright white ever 21 seconds and moves much slower than a satellite, it also changes direction. I have observed these on countless occasions.
A faint red light on something moving slower than a satellite sounds like the port side navigation of a plane, or if you're red-green colourblind, either navigation light of a plane. I imagine dealing with navigation lights is probably a bit of a bother for red-green colourblind people.
Regularly flashing lights sounds, similarly, like an anti collision light, but those are usually a lot faster than once every 21 seconds, so that's what makes this really weird.
@@RAFMnBgaming it would be 21 secs for someone on the ground but probably shorter for someone else in the sky… right?
@@handleerror I'm no expert, but I think the delay between flashes would be the same, regardless of the distance from the light.

We can't visit beyond our moon but presume other species that are most likely much older than us have the same limitations? Some would call that ridiculous. But it's quite possible if someone were to visit 1) they might check what's in our water first and then leave 2) could hit land when we were primitive and sparse in number 3) could just hit empty land 4) could hit when we're fighting and decide FTS peace out 5) may visit after we've destroyed either ourselves or the planet or both. The timing for a visit would likely not work out if they have to travel a long distance (time). If they've found an easier and cheaper and faster method, I doubt a smarter species would want to hang out with us. We can't even get people to wear masks, social distance, and wash frequently (let alone take a vaccine). We're not a very advanced species.
This is one of my favourite sponsor segments, just does a really well done job at everything and is pretty entertaining.
I love how this had absolutely nothing to do with VFX, cameras or anything, and yet you totally managed to crack it.
Its a reflection off the window from a light source in the vehicle. The camera has trouble picking it up when clouds are behind it, cause the iris is closing to adjust for the change in brightness.
I'll never forger how I debunked my own UFO. It turned out to be a large bird hovering erratically in the updraft from skyscrapers, then taking off fast when it saw prey. It glowed in the skyscrapers' uplights. I was so bummed. It took a pair of very strong binoculars to figure out.
I mean you did see a cool bird
Had a similar encounter with a group of geese at night. Only realized what I was dealing with was when I heard some distinctive honking noises coming from my UFO.
Well, before you knew what it was, it was definitely flying and unidentified. You definitely saw a UFO, you just ruined it for yourself haha.
This video was so well done. It was engaging the entire time and I could follow the entire thing without stopping to think "Wait, what does that thing he said mean?" Also, that A51 fake out was hilarious. Would definitely watch more of this.
That was fun to watch, a great execution of bouncing around theories, a lil digging, banter and teamwork.
My wife and I have seen what looks like stars that speed around the sky way quicker than any plane. Sometimes they kinda chase each other around, making sharp 25-30° turns.

Not only did they come up for a reasonable explanation for what it could be, they found the exact balloon and flight path. Now that's quality.
... No they didn't. Watch it again.
yeah its not even speculation at this point :)
@@squidge903 They did conclude that it was a balloon, and did find one that fit it. How can you say otherwise?
@@my3dviews The flight path they showed was not from the same time as the video, it was just a random example from the company. They were just commenting that it zig zagged in a similar way to the one in the video.
They're still most likely right, but someone would need to contact the company to actually try to get the exact flight path for the one in the video.
@@danieljensen2626 actually, if you check the date niko provide for the footage (9:03) it says june 2020, which is the month Sam says the company was launching them every 3 days(iir the video correctly) and they mentioned some of those being in the air for +300 days. Did they find the exact one, not really, but it wasnt some random one, it was several that line up with the video date
The little orb light type thing at 12.00 minutes is what I used to see a lot at the back of mine. All looked the same and went if different directions but all came from a central point in the sky fairly low.
Seeing you pick out and follow all of the details was really absolutely incredible
"By George, I think he's got it!" Outstanding work, guys; this puzzle was a real head-scratcher for me, but I really think that you figured it out. "Loon balloon"...that's worth a derisive snicker. Also, the old 'weather balloon' justification for UFO sightings might just be a cliché for a really valid reason.
I’ve worked on and off with high altitude scientific balloons for decades, and “it’s a balloon” was my first thought. I’m glad you guys came to the same conclusion and actually found a record of that payload.
I think the flight record they found was just a random example from that company, not the one that would have actually been recorded here. But I'm sure the company has those records.
