- Only real UFOs apparently only show us videos of real UFOs. I'm not so sure, so I've collected together 4 of their videos to inspect. Enjoy...

If you identify a UFO, you automatically turn it into an FO. Unless it's landed, then it's an O.
its cos they dont like the aliens so they tell them, u can f o
Or an IGO. Identified Grounded Object.
Most UFOs going from "UFO" to "Oh!"
Planets aren't really flying though.
@@anlumo1 they are falling, therefore the acronym still works.
Anything is a UFO if you are Very bad at identifying things.
This is so true. I'm very good at IDing things in the sky from years in the Army and sky watching so I've never seen a UFO. Always wanted to but I always end up identifying it. Bugger 😢
...and there is nothing wrong with that, it's only when they claim that they contain aliens that they cross the imbecile line.
Well, it also has to be flying. And an object.
@@daerdevvyl4314 No it doesn't have to be flying, or an object. it can just be an artifact.
@@stephenwilloughby8141 It's interesting that 'UFOs' are rarely seen by amateur astronomers who spend a lot of time looking at things in the sky but generally know what they're seeing.
If you want to be safe from an alien invasion, buy a high quality camera. All aliens are allergic to them.
Coincidentally, it’s the same for BigFoot and the LochNess Monster. Interesting…😅
Or just get security cameras that can see the sky. For some reason the only cameras that can capture aliens are phone cameras held by someone with delirium tremens.
So Hubble and the JWST are actually Earth's defense grid?
My nan kept the galaxy safe with a Polaroid 😂😂😂😂😂
Even if I had the best quality camera hanging from my neck I probably wouldn't have taken a photo of my close up UFO because I was so spellbound by the sight. It was the closest thing to a religious experience I have ever had in my 52 years of life.
Reminds me of the meme: "A UFO! Quick! Grab the worst camera we own."
Also works with "there's a sasquach", "there's a big cat in england", and "there's lord lucan".
@@dentoncrimescenealso with any security camera feed involved with "if you have any information about this person of interest..."
"But my worst camera's in Scotland filming the Loch Ness monster!"
That's like, "That air-show plane I'm filming is about to crash! I'd better point the camera at the back of someone's head."
I lost my camera! Will this potato do ?!
i have seen a couple aliens...
they always try to convince me the earth is flat...
lol nice one
SciManDan will never run out of content. Unfortunately. Dear oh dear...
Love from Kentucky.
Ain’t that the truth!!
Sigh, nope 💙🌏💙
It's a shame we need him but I'm glad he's here. Literally re-teaching since 2017. Between he Professor Dave the Toon I've learned a lot.
I’m a firm believer that we aren’t alone in the universe BUT there is 0% chance they are coming to our planet to zip around the sky and leave giant circles
I agree.
Occam's razor is very helpful in situations like these UFO.
Maybe they are trolling us🤔🛸
“They’re at the point still where they aren’t good at identifying things and they have lots of conspiracy nuts…. Let’s troll them lol”
-aliens maybe.
We ve seen them many times. Closest was 30m away. We build space thingies. They recon project-scope and project-progress. Crop circles are a human prank.
How do you know what they would be doing? We're Iike ants watching humans working in a nuclear power plant wondering what these silly humans are doing.
We have no idea what a civilization millions of years more advanced than us would do.
Weirdly, one effect of watching Dan on a consistent basis is a newly awakened awe at the marvels of our universe and beautiful earth. Yesterday I walked home from work gazing at a silver daylight moon against a pale blue winter sky...found myself thinking about Betelgeuse going supernova...and was struck with wonder and mystery and joy to be alive.
I think that's the saddest thing about flerfers who are space-deniers. They'll never know what that feels like.
Started to watch flat erf stuff for a laugh, but I have learnt so much about science, critical thinking, space, our own great Earth and even psychology. It's like we're at uni!
An explosion makes you feel alive? I hope you see a ufo or something someday, your conformity is mind numbingly boring.
I'll have a zip of whatever you're smoking 👍
I was looking at Betelgeuse the other day and started pondering all my ancestors who would have seen it too, then wondering how long my descendants would, then it occurred to me that since we see the moon flipped here in NZ compared to how it looks in the northern hemisphere, the constellations presumably are upside down too and Betelgeuse must be meant to be at the top of Orion, not the bottom. So I downloaded one of those sky map apps and sure enough the pictured figures overlaying the constellations are all upside down here. There were legs and feet sticking up from the horizon in all directions and one poor fellow had his head buried.
I remember decades ago when Australian TV reporters filmed a "UFO". I could tell right away it was Jupiter, but it took the press a day or two to agree
It is hard for press agents to Google stuff; this is proof that Dan is not a press agent.
Anything looks like a UFO when you are trying to record them through a mobile phone camera.
What if you're filming a giraffe?
Not with today's phones
I think Andrew Maxwell said it best on QI a few years ago: "There is something flying. I don't know what it is. No reason to make a website." Or in this case a RUclips channel
We should have a pretty good idea of what flies in our skies. Yet we have these recurring events where we see things we can't identify, that seem to be exhibiting signs of intelligence. Governments are saying its nothing don't worry about it, then we find out they have been investigating these things for decades, they have tons of classified material on these that we aren't allowed to see, and the skeptics are telling us to just believe what they are saying in spite if the fact they admit to be withholding data from the public.
It's clear we can't solely rely on them to tell us the truth, we have to collect the data ourselves.
I remember deliberately seeking out when the ISS was going to pass over about a decade ago. Watching it for the first time, it looked spectacular, much larger than I thought it would be. That's another line to question flerfdom - how can an object be predicted in its orbit around the earth with such accuracy. Plus it was silent, so it wasn't a plane, which would be their counterargument.
They say it's being pulled along by invisible balloons 😂
They think its a large balloon like satellites
For ISS some also say it is two altered planes with Led floodlights, that take turns in faking it😂
It’s also moving at 17,000 mph. Let’s see a plane or balloon do THAT.
It's being guided by jwsh space lasers 😅@@cartesiancircle
But you have to give them some credit:
- those were objects
- those were flying
- they weren't able to identify them
So, they were kind of "unidentified flying objects", sort of. 😂
Well, yeah. If you don't put any effort into identifying things, they remain unidentified
Visible in the sky doesn't necessarily mean they are flying. Planets don't 'fly'.
@@captainlengthwidth6692 Neither does the ISS. However given that UFOs are unidentified you can't actually tell if an object is flying or not without identifying it. So once you identified an UFO as a planet it is no UFO anymore, because you now know it is a planet. Calling it UAO, unidentified atmospheric object would also not work, because planets are then also not in our atmosphere, neither is the ISS. You would basically have to call it just UO, because there is no way to say anything about an object you don't know anything about.
Dan just identified them tho. So not anymore lol 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
they werent flying, the were all orbiting. therefore all of them were UOOs
FUN FACT! MOST modern smart phone cameras have a feature where IF the autofocus keeps jumping in and out, TAP THE SCREEN on the object/area you want to 'Focus on' and the autofocus WILL stick to ONE focal length! 😉
😎🇬🇧
Most people: thank you for that info!
Flerfs: wurt?
Tap = focus on this spot (temporary)
Tap and hold for a second or so = Focus on this spot and lock until I tap again
@@KaneinEncanto It depends on the phone, my Moto G9Plus is a quick tap and it holds focus.
@@fakecrusader Yeah, FLERFERS get completely confused with the simplest skills... 😏😉🤣🤣
Apparently loads of people mistake venus for a UFO
I do always love how everything involving UFOs is basically just "I have no idea what it is, so i'm just going to assume aliens."
No. If you see something flying and you don't know what it is then it's a UFO.
To be fair if your shit at identifying stuff then everything in the air would be an unidentified flying object.
A bit like 'god' did it.
You just gave an exact description of how the mind of Giorgio Tsoukalos and the rest of the subjects that appear on the History Channel programs work XD
Conversely, I love how everyone who's never seen a UFO basically just says "I've never seen one so it cannot exist." And NO, I don't think they have to be aliens. What I think is that there are things we do not know. BTW, I saw my first unidentified objects in 1948, saw my last in 2022. To this day, I doubt many people would be able to identify any of them except (maybe) someone who worked in some secret branch of the government. Who knows what they're working on. Saw a scientist who worked for the Skunk Works years ago hinting they had figured out antigravity.
The flashing UFO at around 4 minutes into this video seems very similar to the way cheap mylar balloons look when you let go of them. Often, one side is shiny mylar, and the other has some less shiny graphic printed on. As it floats away, it rotates, brightening/flashing and dimming as it does.
Dan, I would recommend using the free Stellarium application to simulate the viewing locations and what celestial objects would therefore be visible there, including their elevation and azimuth. I've used it many times to confirm seeing Jupiter, Venus, Mars and Saturn in the sky from my home.
I agree and he should also check which satellite passes the moon from Westerly RI on the time and date of the video because he input the wrong time into the iss tracker site and put it on +5 which is standard time. July is daylights saving time and the correct value was +4. The iss was over Australia at the claimed time of the video.
I spotted a UBO (Unidentified Bulky Object) today.
Then I stepped on it.
Now it has become a UFO (Unidentified Flat Object).
By stepping on and killing the whole personnel on a Bulky Object, you´ve started a war which will eventually kill us all. You clever bastard!! Rgr
I am one of those lights featured in your video. And I can honestly say that I have never been filmed properly.
Human sees an alien: "OMG what is that thing that was moving around and then stopped, as soon as I started filming?!"
Alien: "OMG what is that thing that was moving around and then stopped, as soon as I started filming?!"
The last one "zooming all over the sky" was possible the cameraman confusing Saturn and Venus in two different locations.
i was taking my dog out early one morning and venus looked extra bright and threw me off for a minute until i realized what it was
I can't watch videos like these without thinking of the Giorgio Tsoukalos 'Aliens' meme!😂
Soon the meme will say "I'm not sayin I told ya so....but I told ya so."
if only we lived at a time when everyone have apps on their phones that identify bright stars and planets just by pointing at them or the visibilty of the ISS and satellites ... oh wait we do!
Ha, I was thinking the same thing.
The first thing I check when I see some bright object in the sky that I can't place is Heavens Above. If that doesn't solve the mystery, usually Flight Radar 24 finishes it off.
@@BuckeyeStormsProductions I didn't know about that app. Just downloaded it, great suggestion.
While the number of small handheld devices with high-quality cameras has significantly gone up in the past decade, the number of documented UFO / UAP "sightings" has gone down to 2010 levels.
Coincidence? I think not! 😆
That is not enough evidence to make that determination
The third one is not an Iridium flare. The new design of satellites doesn't have the highly-reflective antennas that used to cause the flares. Even from the old-style satellites, flares would typically last for a few seconds at most as the sunlight was reflected directly to the viewer. My guess for that one would be an aircraft or possibly a weather balloon.
After it was established it wasn’t the ISS, I was thinking weather balloon too.
It's way too fast for a weather balloon.
While the SR-71 is retired, it most likely was replaced by something we will learn about in the next decade. So yhat is my guess, USO: Unidentified Spying Object.
@@OzoneGrif In the jet stream, maybe? From the video we can't tell which direction it was moving in.
@@allefalconhalsaren2640- I see aircraft loads that look like that though. My brother lives under multiple flight paths and when I'm visiting I like to sit in his back garden and plane spot using Flightradar24. I'm certain it's an aircraft at high altitude.
Im sure any UFO arriving at earth from light years away wont be putt putting around the sky at 30mph. 😂
We have cases of them moving much faster. You have no idea what the intent or purpose of the craft is, which would explain why it is traveling at a certain speed.
When you started saying "it was sent by someone recording the Moon in Westerly Rhode Island", I thought the complete sentence was going to be "it was sent by someone recording the Moon in Westchester County". 😉
Be nice to CC.
😆
As someone who flies drones, I thought the last one looked more like a drone (and could also explain the “zipping around”). When flying at nights (in the USA), drones are supposed to be equipped with a light visible to over 3 miles. Some people put spot lights on their drones.
It was in 2011 though. I don't think drones were a thing then. Also it's where they build nuclear submarines so I would assume the whole area is a drone no go area.
@@caw25sha RC toys have been a thing since last millennium. The biggest difference in new drones, is they have a decent camera and use batteries.
@@caw25shaI built a small hobby drone with a camera/FPV sometime in 2011, it was very expensive and lacked all the cool features you find in modern drones.
_"Some people put spot lights on their drones."_
That reminds me of a story I read on a RC forum some years ago.
There was this guy who mounted a lot of LEDs on his RC plane and he was flying it in the evening.
Until the police showed up (the officer was a friend of him) and said there were some UFO chasers driving around the neigbourhood trying to follow that plane.
@@Yehan-xt7cw He should have programmed in the Close Encounters light sequence... 😂😂😂
The universe is so vast we can not be alone in it.
but also the Universe is so vast we could look for 1,000 years and find nothing.
I really don't get those aliens.. They are able to travel through the universe from galaxy to galaxy.
But for one stupid reason they all crash in some desert in the US.
They don't all crash, some of them collect idiots.
Well, you see, because you don’t know that in the USA deserts, there’s a technology invented by Tesla specifically designed to magnetically attract UFOs and crash them to the ground, allowing for reverse engineering. Everyone knows this, where have you been living until now?
The Galactic Council discourages collection of humanoid species categorized as idiots due to logic contamination. Travelers are reminded to use cloaking when near the 3rd planet and land discreetly away from inhabited areas. 🖖
...or do unspeakable things to cows.@@tompiper9276
They're also incredibly careless. They're supposedly here in secret and yet they keep letting us spot them again and again. They're really not good at their job.
Since they don't seem to learn anything after being constantly spotted all the time and continue to allow it to happen, you could also say they are pretty stupid along with careless.
Or you could just accept that 90% of sightings are fake/easily explainable.
Shout out from the west coast of the USA. Its 1am here, the earth is a globe and loving the videos.
I have only ever seen one ufo, or actually did not actually see it. It hit me in the back of the head, as it was thrown at me, by one of my exes and dropped me cold. Never did find out what it was.
My guess is a glass ashtray ex-wife's never seem to run out of them.
I guess that's a MUTO - Malicious Unidentified Thrown Object.
If I see a relatively bright barely moving light in the sky, I automatically think it’s a planet.
The duration of an irridium flare is much shorter. At daylight I can only think of the ISS if it's that bright and the brightness stays high.
Agreed. I've seen (and photographed) many iridium flares and the just don't last that long. However, My hometown (which I visit many times a year to see my family and friends) is under multiple flight paths and on a clear day you can see aircraft at high altitudes flying at speed and that is what it is. You also have to remember that when zoomed in on an object it can make it look like it's going faster than it is. I'm absolutely certain it's an aircraft! It's certainly not an iridium flare.
Interesting. Because my phone number goes out on national radio weekly (as guest on an astronomy radio program in South Africa), I get sent many "UFO"-videos. I mostly manage to turn them into IFOs (Identified Flying Objects) like you are doing here. I agree mostly with your findings, except for the middle one which is definitely not an Iridium fare. In the days when they were a thing (you probably know the current generation Irdiums do not flash any more), I observed and photographed them very often. The flash never lasted more then 15 seconds - I know this because the aim&shoot camera I used back in the day, could only expose for 15 seconds max and it was quite a art to time it right to get the full flash nicely inside the 15 seconds. The last one does seem to move and my guess would be the landing lights of a far-off airplane - something often generating UFO sightings, particularly when flying straight at the observer - initially it seems stationary, and the start moving quicker as it gets closer.
wow that last one is spoooooky, not only did he catch a totally real UFO but it was also clearly watching HIM too because it mysteriously stopped moving all over the place as soon as he took out his camera!! Such clever aliens!
It was a Weaping Angel and became quantum locked as soon as someone was looking
Did they claim it was Aliens?
@@Cossieuk oh shit good theory, weeping angels are creepy af, and definitely real :D
@@scottw.3258 does it matter? It was just a dumb joke.
Also, if not the people filming it then at the very least the channel showing it, believes these things are aliens or anything OTHER than stuff we can explain, that much should be obvious.
@@SpydersByte The ones filming just see something they can't identify, therefore its a UFO.
Even if the channel owner does believe they are of Alien origin, what does it matter to you, or anyone else for that matter? Does it affect your life if he believes these things are Alien?
You're certainly dumb, so that's the only kind of jokes you could come up with.
Does it make you feel like a real Man having a go at someone who believes something you don't? You're an idiot, mate, a bonefide idiot. Away and lick another window.
By the way, don't bother replying further. Good boy.
A UFO is an unidentified Flying Object, NOT an alien space craft.
That Venus footage reminded me of Niels De Grasse Tyson talking about it in the context of Christmas wishing upon the first star. Usually it's the Venus showing up, so people shouldn't be surprised, their wishes are not taking into consideration 😉
So youre convincing yourself that people just didnt know about venus and were so stupid they assumed it was something else that one time?
@@mineduck3050 Why are you so negative? First, I'm not convincing myself about anything. Second, when I was a kid, I didn't know that Venus was visible, I found that later when my parents saw me interested in stars and bought me a book about it. Noone is born with a knowledge and I have no problem with anyone who asks questions. Many people just don't care and I don't have a problem with that either. My previous statement was a little joke about why a common habit or superstition of "wishing upon a first star" is not working.
Unless they are believers in the Greco-Roman pantheon, in which case I guess they might be in with a better chance.
Remember, folks... these are the best proof of alien visitation that we have. The very best!
The military has highly classified videos and photos they will not release. Even to congress. Congress seems to think the information they got from the whistleblower in a SCIF warrants more investigation.
I don't think these are the best, more and more information is being released by US goverment officials. Of course one could believe it's a big psyop but im not a conspiracy theorist.
No it's not! Stop it! These were videos handpicked by the creator so he can debunk them.
All my replies are getting censored by RUclips. It’s obvious that the government has high quality classified evidence. This has been discussed at length by many members of Congress and whistleblowers.
Who claimed they were of Alien origin?
Some years ago I saw a documentary about photo/video fakes, at one point the presenter picked up a cheap pressed metal ashtray, turned it upside down and spun it like a frisbee, the footage was absolutely convincing and could have been in any contemporary SF film.
Never forget the opposite of knowledge is not ignorance but illusion of knowledge.
I'm doubtful of the iridium flare explanation. Although such flares were common some years ago, I agree with others who report the flares to have lasted too short a time. Whenever I saw a bright iridium flare, it rose in brightness and faded over several seconds, maybe 10 seconds or so at most.
Dearborn heights is not far from Detroit Metro Airport and I’ve seen planes that have silver colored bodies reflect just like that.
I've seen planets in daylight so many times, the moment that video started, my mind immediately screamed "Venus" 😅. It's so obvious, it hurts.
I've only seen Venus in the day a handful of times. But it was my thought when I saw that video
Occam's razor is unknown to people that make these vids.
Absolutely........
On holiday in Washington DC when we spotted a white shining orb flickering low on the horizon. Looking back, it suddenly split into two then back to one then two..........
Finally watched carefully only to realise we were looking at Venus and while looking slightly to the side, we could see Jupiter through our peripheral vision.
They were almost together in the sky!
One of the coolest things I've viewed after getting my Meade LX90 8" computer driven telescope back in the early '00's was Jupiter during the day. I had set up and aligned everything the night before, then "parked" the scope until the next day. Got home from work in the early afternoon and dialed up Jupiter, knowing it would be high in the sky at the time. I was amazed how clearly I could see it, even with the bright blue sky! ;)
So, prove it. Venus can only be visible during certain times of yhe year at certain times of the day in a certain position in the sky and certain angular distance from the Sun. Go do that research
Imagine how many calls they get on a daily base by people seeing the ISS thinking its a ufo😂😂
I agree with all of them but the last one. If you compare it's location to the tree branches on the left, at the end, it's much closer to them than it was at the beginning. The footsteps we hear sound like someone else walking up next to the person holding the camera. The way the camera moves doesn't feel like the person holding the camera ever moves. The building and branches don't get any bigger in the frame except when they zoom. When you're zoomed in that far, it's hard to hold the camera still. So there's a lot of shake, then someone walks up next to the camera person, and then the light is closer to the branches. Because of how low it is on the horizon, I think the last one is a Starlink flare. It checks all the boxes for a single Starlink flare. Mick West has made an extremely good bit of content showing how people mistake bright lights low on the horizon for UFOs when they're just Starlink flares. You can get a single flare. They don't have to be in a train. And everything else checks out. If we knew the exact position of the observer, we could prove it. If I'm wrong about the camera person not moving, then yeah, I agree it's Venus. If I'm right, then Starlink flare.
Otherwise, this was awesome. Nice job.
Nah. The guy is definitely walking to his left in that last one towards the end of the clip, making it appear as if the light is doing the same in relation to the branches. You can tell by watching the branches in relation to the rooftop in the frame. Also, Dan's theory of an Iridium flare doesn't hold water. Those only last for a second or 2 at the very most. This light remains "bright" for way too long to qualify as a flare.
I now have a star/planet tracker that uses my GPS and Gyro on my phone to show me where everything is. It's usually a +-3 degrees off but once you get a reference it's pretty easy. Can verify Venus, Saturn and Jupiter on that when I see bright stuff in the sky. And I've even seen the mess that is Starlink before
I miss the times when UFOs weren't just bright dots in the sky but looked like real spaceships with antennas and porthole windows. I guess the aliens got tired of people taking blurry black and white photos of them.
These lighted orbs have been seen since at least the 1930s.
@@JamesWatheist But not anymore thanks to Photoshop.
Right when you said "Let's have a look", it went to an ad. Obviously it was the government trying to hide evidence of aliens😉😉
Yeah yeah I mean they claim they don't know what this is and yet they have probably hundreds of photos and video clips they won't let us see...almost like they have something to hide.
I was tasked to help a friend of my gf move. She mentioned that she sees a lot of Flying Saucers. I asked: are they i nthe west? yes.
Are they always going from north to south? yes.
Do they flash red and white lights? sometimes.
You are watching the flight path for airlines landing at Tucson International Airport.
My gf remarked, "You always ruin things. Can't you just let her have this?"
me: I should encourage a mental delusion????
Why is it, that when ever people record "UFO's" its with a camera from the 90's, making almost impossible to tell what it is?
Almost as if intentional 🙂
That or they handle it so jerky or have the settings so jank. My favorite is when they play around in the photo editing software with no idea what they are doing that it makes it look suspicious no matter what.
Even a camera on a new smart phone wouldn’t handle the night when zoomed right in to max.
Stop crying and go look at the thousands of ufo recordings to have a better idea of what youre talking about.
Better yet go and record a regular plane wothput planning for it and lets see how awesome the vid is.
Great, then demand the government release the hundreds of visoe clips and photographs they won't allow us to see. They only let us see the blurry ones.
@@mineduck3050 cope harder
Dan you made a mistake. You have entered +5 GMT but that time is wrong because July is still during daylight savings time and Westerly RI would be +4 to be GMT. The iss was actually below the horizon at that time. However whatever is transiting across still does look like a bright satellite. I do a lot of iss transit photography and I had a feeling it was moving too slowly to be the iss unless the Moon was very low. Typical high altitude moon transits are .58 seconds. A farther away satellite appears to move slower and I’ve seen plenty of those.
and based on my experience watching the apocaclipse in, IIRC, 2017, it looked to me like it was moving too fast to be the ISS. and boy did I wish I had a better camera rig, that day. eclipse, ISS, and flying observatory, all in one section of the sky.
@@kenbrown2808 Transit time of the Moon height of 33° at that date and time is approximately 1.09”. I recommend that Dan should input the location date and time into sky modeling software like Stellarium and check if anything was transiting or close to transiting the moon at that time. Without knowing the exact gps location the video was shot and exact time the object crosses the Moon it will never be exact, but if anything is reasonably close, it’s fairly safe to assume that’s the satellite.
The video was recorded at 4:52PM EST but the tracker program is based on the time in GMT so you need to add 5 hours for the program to show the correct time.
@@mattm8870 Good catch of my error, however It was 6:52 pm in Rhode Island during daylight savings time. You are correct that I made a mistake with the plus and minus of GMT in the tracker, but he’s still wrong because it would be plus 4 and not plus 5 due to daylight savings time. I’m going to edit my original statement to fix my mistake. The iss was over Australia at the time of the video.
I was out walking my dog the other morning and saw he was having trouble pooing. He ran off quickly and I shouted 'STOP! I'm trying to look at Uranus'. So sorry.
You should be ashamed of yourself. Is your dog called Pluto by any chance?
Another possibility for the moving one is China's Tiangong space station. I have an app (ISS Detector) that shows when it's overhead and visible. I don't know if it's history like the ISS is available, but it could be an option.
Good thinking, and it was visible from Dearborn Heights that week but not at that time, and it would have been fainter than the ISS.
Tiangong is way to faint
When walking our cats after sunset last autumn, I accidentally spotted ISS. Since that time, I started to pay more attention to what is going on above my head, and I was amazed finding out how many satellites I can see just by looking at the sky now and then. The most amazing was the Starlink chain, and the most appreciated is BlueWalker 3, I am even calling it my old friend :)
Those of us that have been looking up forever, the Starlink chain is a nightmare
I live in a city on the coast. Marine cloud layers, coastal fog, smog, and light pollution make sky watching conditions very poor.
When I'm camping in the mountains or desert I really appreciate the clear skies
Several years ago I had just read about certain Russian spy satellites in orbit that travel together in a 3-point "triangle" formation. They're pretty small, and are hardly visible even at night. Within a few weeks of learning of these, I happened to be out in the middle of nowhere while on a fishing weekend, and was admiring the star-filled sky when lo and behold, I spotted 3 very faint points of light in a triangle formation passing overhead! That was the first and last time I've seen these, and I couldn't believe how coincidental my sighting was considering I had never heard of them before!
Thanks for the great Content SciManDan!
I was working a night shift in Peurto Rico in 1998, near the Arecibo space telescope. Lovely clear night, at "lunch time" (about 2am) I was watching satelites fly past. There was one that made me wonder what it was when it changed direction quite sharply and flew back the way it came. The only thing I can think off (outside of non-terrestrial resons) was a high altitude aircraft, all I could see was a point of light, nothing decernable. Outside of being in such an out of the ordinary place, a satelite changing directions made it a very memorable occasion.
Always good to get a notification when you can't sleep 👍🏿
LOL nothing in the USA like insomnia and a new SciManDan!
Second one could be a weather balloon, seen similar specs of light over the UK. Depending on the weather conditions it could be moving slowly enough to show minimal visible movement once the camera shake is taken out. As could the 3rd one, but this time it is in a swiftly moving air current. Saw one moving almost due north like this one morning going over RAF Alconbury.b
Wow, SciManDan... I remember watching you when you had like 2k subs. Well done, mate!
gotta love how all UFO sightings we have ever filmed or taken a photo of are basically one pixel
The problem with these UFO channels is they are looking at the wrong things. The real aliens look exactly like birds
Ostriches or Goldcrests?
Don't be silly birds aren't aliens, they're drones operated by the United States government to spy on American citizens.
Yeah... But birds are fake! 🐦😉
The Galactic Council will neither confirm or deny and reminds visitors to the third planet in this solar system to do so discreetly. 🖖
Yeah, these things fly much higher than birds and move in ways birds can't. Sorry thunderf00t.
Still there is not a clear video nor pictures, or to far away . all cameras they use to capture those fantastic close ufo`s with seems to be from the 70`s, That said there can still be life out there
Good job identifying these Dan, I'd love for you to try in some of the less easy to identify some time also. Love your channel
Can you imagine having a mental illness where you must identify every distant object or person you see? You cannot simply say "it's too far to see" and let it go.
Hey Dan, great insight. Could you please debunk the Tic Tac UFO?
Problem is that the tic tac is an actual ufo.
@@dogshake yes I agree. But Dan says that almost every UFO can be de bunked. I'd like to hear what he thinks about the Tic Tac as I have no idea what else it could be other than technology we don't understand or not released
I saw them when I was in the military. Well, it was only twice, but still, it was pretty cool. You couldn't see them with the naked eye. You should do actual unidentified video Scimandan, I think it would be fun.
He never will. Dan is a conformist, ufos cannot be real for him. He has his beliefs. It will always be the space station or venus. You cannot remedy his type.
The “iridium flare” might actually also be the Hubble space telescope.
Pretty sure the Hubble isn't bright enough to see during the day. Very few satellites are.
Great reference to the Ancient Aliens guy at the start, Dan lol
Sorry Dan, the spped and shape of the first subject clearly shows its not the ISS. The ISS would be way faster at that magnification. Just search for an ISS moon transit on youtube... Its more likely a small balloon. The last one on the other hand clearly shows the ISS. I am a bit surprized that you got this that wrong...
yeah this video is kind of embarrassing for him. not a lot of effort went into this one
I mean technically other than the planets, and if you count orbiting as "flying," then that channel is accurate. Those are real things that people don't know what they are when posting it.
Very interesting. Your comments and analysis seemed very logical, Dan. I agree with your conclusions.
Agreed, SciMan. It's the crappest UAP channel going. How many shaky, blurry white dots can one view before thinking "Unsubscribe. Sigh"?
Cheers, mate. Keep up the good work 🍻
So little white dots in the sky are UFOs? Wow! I think we must be being invaded. I see hundreds of buggers on a clear night. 😂
Yup, they're even communicating with each other by blinking.
Another one that can't understand what ufo stands for.
Are they in the sky? Yes?
Can you tell what it is specifically? No?
Congratulations you just saw an unidentified flying object (ufo) Bravo!
first it's an UFO, until you know what it is, then it's an FO, until it landed which makes it an O.
Cellphones aren’t ideal for filming sky objects due to hardware limitations, resulting in low-resolution videos with compression artifacts. People often zoom in and out all the time because they don't know how to film with a camera, that's why they always play with it: zoom in, zoom out all the time, which is really annoying and doesn’t help.
It’s better to record first, then zoom in gradually, keeping the subject in focus and minimizing hand movements. With low resolution, it’s hard to discern the shape of the object. All we usually see is a bright dot. Many people overlook possibilities like satellites, space stations, or planets, perhaps due to a lack of knowledge about these things.
People often gravitate towards RUclips videos about UFOs and strange phenomena, which are abundant and designed to attract views and revenue rather than provide real explanations. For many, the allure lies in the mystery and entertainment value, not in understanding the truth. They’re content with affirming their beliefs rather than seeking factual explanations. Ideally, one should research and ask experts in the field to gain accurate knowledge.
The issue today is that people tend to make assumptions rather than ask questions, leading to misinformation, especially with such RUclips videos.
"For many, the allure lies in the mystery and entertainment value, not in understanding the truth." This.
@@jeanmp2 Yes, sadly. Oh, well ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ... humans sometimes, you know. Hehe!
In the earliest days of RUclips there was an American gent that live streamed the moon at night. He used to get all excited about the fleets of dark UFO’s that were passing across the face of the moon in irregular v-shape formations…. 😂
The Iridium satellites are all gone now I think. They retired them a few years ago and have replaced them with very boring non flaring ones. The old ones have been falling back to Earth...
I mean,.... to be fair, if "only real ufos" actually only allowed posts of truly unidentified flying objects, it'd be a pretty quiet place :P
The 'U' in ufo is significant but often ignored. UNIDENTIFIED doesn't mean Aliens. It means unidentified.
Seems these video takers made no effort to identify these FO's.
More fun to fantasize and speculate.
at 5:35 I was waiting for his wife shouting "stop this bs"
On the last one, you could hear what sounded like the person walking so they were likely walking with the camera which caused the shakiness and made it look like the object was moving.
Hi dan love your work mate keep it up
Your welcome to explain how I call them in to different locations at different times of day. I check fight tracker and satellite trackers before posting aswell. Keep up the good work Mick
Never did I think I would see little old Westerly, RI in a SciManDan video. I guess we are internet famous now😂
I was walking through the local park a few years ago, when I caught a brief glimpse of a UFO moving very quickly. Almost immediately, I experienced severe pain in my right temple. The UFO was later identified as "Rawlings."
Oh, so it's like those "ghost hunter" channels who claim that every piece of dust is an "orb."
Light in the sky? Must be a UFO!
I stood outside, filming the ISS flying over my house around 0.30 on may 25th, couple of years ago. As I stood in the street, in my pyjama's and with a towel over my shoulder, a police car drove up and the officer asked me if I had been drinking. I explained what I was doing and the policemen were elated at being pointed out the ISS as we spoke.
I didn't inform them I was carrying a towel in honour of Douglas Adams, author of the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, whose works are celebrated annually.
On may the 25th.
Anything can be a UFO when I take my glasses off.. Literally anything.
The words 'scraping the barrel' come to mind...😂
By the inability to focus I assume some of these people are also flerfs.
The second could be an aeroplane coming head on. They can seem to be dead still for a very long time. I remember a work colleague calling me out to look at a ‘UFO’ many years ago, and that was a plane. Just took forever to get close enough to detect movement.
Good explanations thanks Dan.
Astronauts on the ISS: "Wow, look at this view of Earth. So incredible every human in existence is down there."
Random person looking at the ISS from Earth: "Gotta record this UFO in vertical mode on Nokia 7!"
that's not what that was. the iss flashes past the moon during transit, most people get a single frame or two. this one was probably a bird or something
4:25 looked to me like those highly reflective helium party balloons.
you know it's going to be an interesting one when the first word you hear is "aliens" lol
"Quick theres a UFO! Grab the hot potato camera!"
That was a real stretch calling them "filmmakers."
More like flim-flammers.
