Every UFO video is easily explained by the fact that the movement of the objects is not only caused by the object moving itself, but also the camera's velocity, angle, framing, and zoom.
Im not thinking about random camcorder footage of UFOs I'm talking about specifically the things supposedly seen with US navy FLIR imaging that do stuff like go from the edge of space to the surface of the ocean and stop in an instant
I first saw it mentioned in 2015 and then every few years it got talked about like it was some new thing, in conjunction with stuff like that guy Luis Elizondo saying they had "recovered materials" from some UFO (with journalists never apparently thinking to ask a single question about the materials that would indicate anything about their properties)
Im not lying awake at night thinking about the aliens I just every now and then think "i wonder what the fuck was up with that"
FLIR cameras are still cameras and thus are subject to all the things I listed. Is there any evidence of that footage existing or is it just hearsay?
Anybody pushing this from the military or politics is just grifting about it.
Also sometimes it's not even an object, it's just light and cameras doing camera things.
