Looks cool but with the crazy drone technology out there this could be man made.
I actually am someone who believes UFOs exist, I agree with you this video showed what looks a balloon.
Remember right after the Chinese Balloon flew over the USA, it was followed by a week or so of the military shooting down a few other balloons.
They all turned out to be harmless Ham Radio Balloons that are tracked and put up by amateur clubs around the world.
Some modern smart phones can auto stabilize images for you. Not mine, but I know I've seen a commercial for at least one of them. Can't recall which.
The pixelation surrounding the craft is a bit concerning…but cel phones do that. Just something to think about.
Fake. It’s so easy to CGI objects into videos anymore.
Interesting but how big was it compared to your Cessna?
I’ve been interested in UFOs for decades, was a MUFON investigator for a while. I was incredibly lucky to be located at time the same town as International MUFON Director John Schueller (retired NASA guy) and International President of MUFON for a while (Littleton, CO). He was convinced UFOs were real, but he and I agreed on something else also. We agreed that UFO “believers” need to be the toughest people of all to convince when it comes to alleged UFO sightings, incidents, etc. At today’s stage of technology, all videos are meaningless until an acceptable unbiased forensic examination has been done on them. Nice video though, it would be cool if verified as on the up and up, though it would simply remain an unknown under the rules. I have observed a similar object in Colorado. The problem with getting excited about any sighting prior to a detailed investigation and said forensic analysis opens the door to hurting the UFO phenomenon with a skeptical public if it is later shown to be a mistake.
I like to think about it, would like to believe it, just can’t.
Oh no, it’s REAL! Nobody would do THAT!! /s
You would think that the classic saucer look from the 60’s would have transitioned to something more star warsy, but no. Same old saucers as always lolol
The Bible says that the coming of the Antichrist will be accompanied by false signs and lying wonders.
2 Thessalonians 2:8-10
21st Century King James Version
8 And then shall that wicked one be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming—
9 even him, whose coming is according to the working of Satan, with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 and with all the deceit of unrighteousness in those who perish, because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

Unfortunately there are too many fakes and mistakes for anything in the “ufology” field to be trusted. Anyone who calls himself a “ufologist” draws instant suspicion to himself because of the sheer number of phonies and con men. And there is no reason to say “well, some of them may be real”, since you can say the same thing about $3 bills. But it happens that I have seen a UFO myself, and have known others who’s word I trust that have seen some as well. Whether they are from another planet is a different matter. I’ll just keep an open mind for now.
The slow moving saucer. So clear that a zoom in for close up is possible, and is the first picture with such clarity never before captured on film of a flying saucer. 🤣
They basically all have some form of electronic image stabilization these days, some are better than others. The real challenge comes when you zoom in. In this video the action of zooming in and out was also smooth. I do not believe that this video was done without a gimbal. I am not sure why someone would be using one on a commercial flight, but they are now pretty cheap and well worth the money.

I have the free version of DaVinci Resolve that I use for editing video from my 360 cameras, phones, DSLRs and digital camcorders. I used Adobe Premiere for many years before. But I and many others could fake a UFO video of approximately the same quality as this one using DaVinci Resolve. There are many how to articles on YouTube which demonstrate how to put a person or object into another scene.

Here is a video that shows how easy it is to put your object or person into another scene. There are other more advanced techniques that makes this type of project almost impossible to detect especially with an object.
So what are your thoughts on the video I posted?
The second video specifically addresses putting your own UFO into any video you would like. This one is from a year ago.
People come up with better methods all the time.
My wife and I were flying back from the ocean years ago and she spotted a car that had run off a logging road in the coastal range. We made multiple passes trying to see if we could spot someone who was hurt. The closer we got to it, the less time we had to figure out what was going on.
I do have an ultralight airplane that flies so slowly that you can get good video and pictures of stationary objects, but people have no idea how difficult it can be to get good video from an airplane, especially from a phone. If you had passengers with you, one of them would likely have tried to get video of the balloon you went by and it likely would not have turned out as good as the UFO video the thread is based on.
It’s either a genuine flying saucer or it’s something else.
