UFO? Virgin Atlantic Video Claimed To Be A New York UFO Sighting
Inquisitr ^ | August 4, 2015

Posted on 08/04/2015 9:24:15 PM PDT by ConservativeStatement

Does this video really show a UFO? Virgin Atlantic flights out of John F. Kennedy International Airport were treated to a potential New York UFO sighting when a mysterious object was shown racing past the passenger jet as it took off from the runway.

In a related report by the Inquisitr, some say a photo by NASA’s Mars rover shows a self-replicating alien probe that’s shaped like a sphere.

It is very peculiar. Strange how its shape changes as it passes by.

Looks like a Wham-O product of some sort.

A 747 is going approx 200 mph at that point in take off. The purported object is going noticeably faster. The only official military drone that can go that fast is a predator/reaper and they are larger than the object shown. That the object seems to change shape significantly indicates to me that it’s a fake.

Definitely a UFO... It's unidentified. It's flying. It's an object. That makes it a UFO. However, I saw nothing in that video that gave me anything that made me think it was not in front of the aircraft instead of behind it. Could have been a bird, which would explain the change in shape (wings of the bird changing aspect of the bird as it moves relative to the camera position), or an insect even closer. It could also be an artifact of reflection on the lens of the camera.

I find it interesting that it is in the same angle of flight as the aircraft while the aircraft is taking off. . why as that? That's one of the reasons why I think it may be a reflection in the camera lens system. . . actually reflecting something from the plane off an interior lens back into the camera.

It goes behind the wing as it overtakes the aircraft, so to me that rules out a camera anomaly.

Oh my gosh, yet another blurry "item" in the sky that people think is an alien invader or something a ruther....there's NEVER any detail just blurs and shadows.....give me something like this and I might consider it of interest...

That’s pretty funny. Most likely atmospheric or video distortions of the view of another aircraft flying by.

I look at that and the anomaly and the color of the wing are so close that you really can't say one way or the other. This is a digital zoom video and noise makes it very difficult to say one way or the other.

One thing that would argue against it is that the plane is not really the intended object of the video. . . on the other hand, it still may be an artifact for that reason in that the lensing reflection/distortion is an unintended function of the system caused by the motion of the aircraft reflecting off of a lens with a greater curve inside then reflecting back, accelerating it at a two for one rate.

Looks like a bird flying much closer to the camera than the plane. It appears to pass in front of the vertical tail.
