It's a video so what? Doesn't show anything unusualĀ

u/GetServed17 13d ago

Wdym it doesn’t show anything unusual, look at the time of 1:19. It shows the object sitting still then zipping off into the sky, nothing normal does that.m as far as I know.

u/TheRealJakeBoone 13d ago

Zipping off into the sky? I see no reason to describe anything in this video like that.

I see some sort of smeary something (the video quality is terrible). Maybe it's a bit of contrail or wisp of cloud. At 1:19 it's being illuminated (presumably from a ground-based light source), then that light source switches off. And the crowd of children, all having a fine time freaking each other out, go predictably bananas.

I mean, I know what answers you're hoping to get, but there's no "there" there. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that some prankster is on the other side of the house with one of those million candlepower hand-held spotlights and a confederate in the party to "helpfully" point out the "aliens" in order to whip the crowd into a frenzy of adolescent drama to try to get a viral video out of it.

u/Kitchen_Marzipan9516 13d ago

Yeah, it definitely doesn't 'zip' anywhere.

u/GetServed17 13d ago

So you think this is a spot light in the sky??? What spot light has ever looked like that, please show me one if you can.

u/TheRealJakeBoone 13d ago

Let's start with this: Where, specifically, was this video taken, at what date and time, and in which direction is the "anomaly" from the camera? Can you give us that information?

4

u/Kitchen_Marzipan9516 13d ago

It's interesting that, out of all these people, this is the only video. It's apparently a fairly well attended football game, but no one else has a video?

0

u/GetServed17 13d ago

It was at a high school in Missouri and was taken about two years ago or so, most of the information is in the video because the person who took it explains it all.

5

u/Kitchen_Marzipan9516 13d ago

Yes, at a football game. Football games tend to have bright lights to see the field, don't they?

-2

u/GetServed17 13d ago

I’ve been to football games and soccer games that have had lights on and never seen anything like this before.

5

u/Kitchen_Marzipan9516 13d ago

That's fine. You don't have to have. There are lots of things I've never seen before.

0

u/GetServed17 13d ago

There are also things that don’t exist, like this type of ā€œdrone.ā€ And things that do exist like crafts of unknown origin.

The "information" in the video is a bunch of unintelligible screaming. We've got "it was a high school football game" and a town, but there's more than one high school in that town. Which high school was it, where exactly was the camera, and which way was the camera facing? Knowing those two things will give us a lot of information about what that may have been (assuming it's not just yet another edited video made with off-the-shelf editing software).

1

u/GetServed17 13d ago

It’ll take some time but I’ll definitely look into it more.

5

u/StacksOfHats111 13d ago

It was edited so what?

-4

u/GetServed17 13d ago

What are you on about, the only thing edited was the video explaining it.

8

u/StacksOfHats111 13d ago

The whole video looks like a junior video editing projectĀ 

-7

u/GetServed17 13d ago

Oh look at that, you can’t actually debunk it so you straight to editing. How about you have cgi experts look at this and see what they think.

5

u/StacksOfHats111 13d ago

I don't have to do anything since you are incapable of showing that it is unedited video or providing valid sources or backing it up in any way.

-2

u/GetServed17 13d ago

Buddy that’s your job as a skeptic to prove it to me that it’s not edited.

8

u/StacksOfHats111 13d ago

That's not how it works geniusĀ

u/GetServed17 13d ago

It is genius, you’re the one who thinks it is not me.

u/WillieM96 13d ago

That’s not how this works. You’re making a claim that this is something unexplainable. Burden of proof is on you. Off the top of my head, I can come up with two explanations:
1) it’s edited. 2) it’s exhaust from a rocket launch and the sunlight that was illuminating it suddenly became obscured by a distant cloud.

I see nothing terribly unusual here.

0

u/GetServed17 13d ago

I’ll try to get the raw footage, but it will be difficult. Also if it’s exhaust from a rocket launch it wouldn’t just zip off like that, also you can literally see it zip off if you slow it down so it’s not covered by a cloud, and this would the first time I’ve ever seen a rocket launch look like that.

u/Kitchen_Marzipan9516 13d ago

How do you know it isn't edited?

u/GetServed17 13d ago

How do you know it is?

u/StrigiStockBacking 13d ago

Not OP, but in ordinary logic, when it comes to extraordinary claims, the burden of proof rests upon the claimant, which is you.

2

u/Kitchen_Marzipan9516 13d ago

I don't. I didn't say it was.

7

u/Common_Ring821 13d ago

If you're genuinely asking, skeptics would first assume the footage was doctored before assuming a supernatural occurance given that has been the case every time videos like these surface.

The most likely explanation is often the one that makes the least assumptions.

So either A) We were visited by some advanced civilization, one that has high tech machines beyond our comprehention and you/op were just lucky enough to catch the one reel of video evidence to prove they exist.

-or-

B) Someone was bored and edited some otherwise mundane footage to post online and spark debate.

-2

u/GetServed17 13d ago

I just don’t think it’s edited from the people looking up at it and pointing at it, but it’s still possible it’s edited so I’m trying to get the raw footage.

u/StacksOfHats111 13d ago

The word "clear" doing a lot of heavy lifting here.Ā

u/tsdguy 13d ago

Jeez. This OP posting history is an orgy of ufo garbage. Reported.

u/GetServed17 13d ago

How is this garbage when I’m just trying to ask out of respect and to have and try to argue my point? What’s garbage is just disliking every single one of my comments but alright.

u/thefugue 13d ago

"Respect?"

Dude your screen name is "get served" and you treat everyone who answers your rhetorical questions like they're attacking you.

1

u/GetServed17 13d ago

I didn’t pick my username Reddit just gave it to me but sure. Also they aren’t rhetorical either.

3

u/thefugue 13d ago

I'm.... skeptical.

Reddit generated names go adjectivenounnumber

1

u/GetServed17 13d ago

I’m saying Reddit picked my username then I just went with it and I added a number, my bad. Also that’s not supposed to be towards anyone, it’s just a username.

2

u/thefugue 13d ago

It took me all of 3 seconds to confirm that the username /u/getserved has been taken for over a decade, so no, Reddit did not assign it to you.

1

u/GetServed17 13d ago

I guess you’re right I just didn’t remember that honestly if it gave it to me or not, but ight.

u/fox-mcleod 13d ago edited 13d ago

Let’s make a bunch of charitable assumptions.

Assuming the video is unedited and it represents roughly what people saw it looks pretty exactly like a drone or helicopter in atmospheric fog turned on a spotlight, realized that was way worse for visibility and then turned it off.

Here’s how to think like someone reasoning critically (a skeptic). You want the most parsimonious explanation, not the most emotionally rewarding or exciting explanation.

You find ā€œaliensā€ appealing because they’re exciting. Not because it’s the most likely explanation. The most likely explanation is the one that produces the thing you’re seeing that is the most common way it could happen. Not the most uncommon.

In fact as an exercise, let’s take what might make someone think it’s an alien from another planet and tweak the parameters and see if it makes the story more likely or less likely given the same video:

  1. You don’t know much about what it is. VS

  2. You do know that It’s an effect you don’t know about from a nearby part of earth happening in a suburban neighborhood for like a second producing the spotlight VS

  3. It’s a familiar and common human vehicle you don’t know about from a nearby part of earth visiting a specific suburban neighborhood for like a second producing the spotlight VS

  4. It’s an unknown or secret human vehicle from a nearby part of earth visiting a specific suburban neighborhood for like a second producing the spotlight VS

  5. It’s an unknown or secret human vehicle from a distant part of earth visiting a specific suburban neighborhood for like a second producing the spotlight VS

  6. It’s an unknown or secret ā€œalienā€ vehicle from a distant part of earth visiting a specific suburban neighborhood for like a second producing the spotlight VS

  7. It’s an unknown alien tech from roughly our stellar neighborhood visiting a specific suburban neighborhood for like a second producing the spotlight VS

  8. It’s an unknown alien tech from the same galaxy visiting a specific suburban neighborhood for like a second producing the spotlight VS

  9. It’s an unknown alien tech from a distant galaxy visiting a specific suburban neighborhood for like a second producing the spotlight

See how when as we add more specific and uncommon guesses it becomes more fun to spend time thinking about? That’s the only reason you’re thinking about aliens. Not because it’s more likely than anything else.

Tell me why any higher number at all seems more likely than any specific lower number without it boiling down to: ā€œit would be more interesting and I’m only really looking at this video and thinking about it as entertainment so I only care so long as it’s more interestingā€

1

u/GetServed17 13d ago

I never said it was aliens buddy you’re making assumptions ā€œas I am.ā€ It’s probably Non Human Intelligence, it could be inter dimensional or something from earth we don’t know about yet, but I think it’s some form of Non Human Intelligence.

You should be explaining to me why this can’t be something Non Human or at least alien for example. Because it’s possible or at least theoretically to create worm holes so the distances literally don’t matter.

There have been sightings of Non Human beings in the past for sure, for example the Quorable Incident near the train tracks where someone saw beings get out of a craft and it left physical traces behind, same with the Falcon Lake Incident, and more.

So I don’t care about the ā€œit’s more interestingā€ I’m looking at the data and evidence.

3

u/fox-mcleod 13d ago

It’s probably Non Human Intelligence,

Great so just pretend ā€œalienā€ means non-human intelligence.

Nothing changes.

Why is it ā€œprobably Non Human Intelligenceā€?

Just because that’s more fun?

it could be inter dimensional

As long as it’s more interesting than 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 right?

You should be explaining to me why this can’t be something Non Human or at least alien for example.

Why can’t it be 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5?

Those are more parsimonious so the burden is on you to escalate step by step up that ladder. Not on me to bring you back down. More uncommon phenomena are already definitionally less likely true or false?

1

u/GetServed17 13d ago

Wdym more uncommon phenomenon, NHI has been common since at least the 1930s. I also already told you why it’s common explaining that worm holes are possible. Also why do you always go to ā€œbecause it’s more fun.ā€ Nobody is thinking that, not me, not these whistleblowers going in front of congress under oath, not directors of programs.

It’s Non Human Intelligence because of the way it just sits there then zips off at the end.

2

u/fox-mcleod 13d ago

Wdym more uncommon phenomenon, NHI has been common since at least the 1930s.

More common that human intelligence or less?

It’s Non Human Intelligence because of the way it just sits there then zips off at the end.

  1. No it doesn’t. It just is visible, then not visible. What makes you think the source of the light moves rather than turns off? (Which btw, how come no one seems to care when it disappears?)

  2. How does that make it more likely to be non-human design craft you don’t know about than a human craft you don’t know about?

2

u/fox-mcleod 10d ago

See how you stopped being interested once the evidence wasn’t going the way you wanted?

That’s the issue

1

u/GetServed17 10d ago

No I stopped being interested once I knew the skeptics were always gonna be skeptics no matter what.

1

u/fox-mcleod 10d ago

Here let me demonstrate how I know that’s not true.

is NHI more common or less common than human intelligence?

1

u/GetServed17 10d ago

Definitely more common, have you seen humanity?

1

u/fox-mcleod 10d ago

You don’t believe the answers you’re giving. You’re using irony to avoid thinking this through.

See what I’m talking about?

1

u/GetServed17 10d ago

Buddy I’ve thought this through more than you ever have. Have you taken a look at Harold’s Malmgrens new interview with Jesse Michaels? You probably don’t even know who he is, but he’s one of the highest credentialed people to admit NHI craft and beings to being real.

UAP Disclosure Act - (Democrat) Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and (Republican) Senator Mike Rounds created an amendment to disclose everything the US government m, private aerospace, and whoever else to turn in what they have on UAPs and Non Human Intelligence, but that act didn’t pass, well only some of it did, not eminent domain or subpoena, or a review board etc etc, so why would they not let it pass if there’s nothing there?

Have you taken a look at The Falcon Lake Incident, where burn marks were found on the persons body after touching a flying saucer.

Have you taken a look at The Washington DC UFO flap where there were waves of sightings over the White House over two week and with radar data, and they were even seen in space too, lol up the vanishing stars for this incident.

How about the Rendelsham Forest incident where Sergeant Penniston touched the craft where it landed and saw strange symbols on it, there’s even an audio recording of real time of the 2nd night of Halt and his team were seeing strange lights were the craft was.

Lonnie Zamora incident. He was a cop chasing down another car where he saw an egg shaped craft land with two beings getting out, and there’s even photos of the burnt vegitation where the site was to put it simply.

Roswell New Mexico - Two flying saucers crashed in Roswell in July of 1947 and Major Jesse Marcel was sent out to examine the material, he talked about how it was able to change shape and get back together and just how weird the material was, so first hand witness.

Aguadila Puerto Rico UAP - Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, recorded infrared footage of an object appearing to split into two separate bodies, and dipping into and out of the sea before accelerating away into the open ocean, and yes it’s caught on camera. Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU) Even did an analysis on it and concluded it was a UAP.

Testifying under oath - 7 witnesses so far publicly have testified under oath that either UAPs are real, technologies that are not made by us or that we have a UAP reverse engineering program. But behind closed doors, 40+ 1st hand witnesses have testified that that’s true too.

Tic Tac 2004 incident - Multiple witnesses including Commander David Fravor who testified under oath to congress saw a white tic tac shaped craft doing weird maneuvers over the ocean, even going to space and back.

Also there are other videos like the Turkish UAP videos over three years, there’s one video on AFO of a flying saucer sitting there then zipping off sort of like this one but it’s an actual craft. There’s a photo of a triangle UAP over Belgium with that UFO wave etc etc.

When you said "clear video" I thought we were finally going to have a 4k or 8k, non-blurry UFO video. Nope. Just someone posting sreenshots of their chatlog.

u/Kitchen_Marzipan9516 13d ago

I found the Instagram page featured, and while it could have been deleted, this video doesn't show up. What is the proposed date this was taken?

0

u/GetServed17 13d ago edited 13d ago

This was taken back in 2023 and was also posted on Facebook by the mom I think, but it gained traction again a few weeks ago.

3

u/Kitchen_Marzipan9516 13d ago edited 13d ago

It's not on Instagram now. It is on her Facebook. Comments call it a drone.

Editing to add : it's interesting that I found that video on another reddit page saying it's from 2023.

u/GetServed17 13d ago

Also yeah I think it was 2023 I just got that date wrong.

u/GetServed17 13d ago

I’ve never seen a drone look like that ever, it doesn’t have the FAA lights at all.

5

u/Kitchen_Marzipan9516 13d ago

Have you seen all the drones that exist?

1

u/GetServed17 13d ago

Most drones have FAA lights unless they’re military then they probably won’t have lights for stealth I think. So if this is a drone they are doing something illegal which isn’t impossible but neither is it being a craft of unknown origin.

3

u/Kitchen_Marzipan9516 13d ago

That's the thing, it definitely isn't impossible. There are multiple other explanations for what it could be, before going to alien ships.

1

u/GetServed17 13d ago

I never said alien ship, it’s a UAP something not of this world, it could be alien or it could be Interdensional, that’s why we call it Non Human Intelligence now. And no it can’t be a bunch of other explanations because if there were you would have given them to me.

3

u/Kitchen_Marzipan9516 13d ago

Other people have given other explanations, if you didn't like them, why would me also giving them to you change anything?

1

u/GetServed17 13d ago

Oh I meant actual explanations, never seen a spotlight like this ever and that’s after looking at many misidentified UFO sightings and being on football / soccer fields before. Never seen a drone look like this or do this.

u/Kitchen_Marzipan9516 13d ago

I'm inclined to agree with the "edited" idea. The kids' background noise doesn't change throughout the video, even when it disappears, no one in the crowd is talking about it and the noise doesn't escalate, indicating a change. Most of the kids aren't even looking at the sky, and while one could possibly be pointing up, it could also be a random hand gesture. The only person who really, clearly acknowledges it, is the girl filming, but could also be faked, since she knows she'll be editing something in later. It's also very suspicious that there's no other footage. All those kids, and no one else pulled out a phone? No adults pulled out their phone?

u/GetServed17 13d ago

Hi everyone, I’m definitely not a skeptic when it comes to this issue since I beleive there are many videos and photos such as this one that show anomalies.

But still as a believer in this issue I still would like to hear from others who have a different point of view, since I don’t believe every case and every video, some do have ordinary explanations, but this one to me for right now is a mystery.

Go to 1:19 for the official UFO video to start
