It has become the standard joke that there aren’t many good videos of UFOs because no one is looking up. They’re all looking down, at their cell phones instead. But the truth is that have been many images captured, not only on cell phones but on high quality cameras.
Such is a case
investigated by MUFON Chief Investigator Darrell Collins. According to the
report, the witness, whose name was withheld, was taking pictures of the sunset
in Brookville, Indiana on July 17 of this year. According to the witness, “I
was located just ten yards north of the Brookville Lake Beach… when I noticed a
bright, oval-shaped object to the northwest… it looked extremely bright, as if
it was reflecting sunlight on a metal surface. I immediately snapped a picture,
but my camera was set-up for a two-second exposure… I changed my camera
settings to video mode and I filmed for about 20 seconds… When I came home, I
saw that I have filmed the UFO for about 14 seconds before it disappeared
behind a cloud.”
He added, “I don’t
believe it’s an airplane because I didn’t see any contrails. I could confirm
that airplanes were creating contrails when a passenger jet crossed the sky a
few minutes after I saw the object. But what it is, I’m not sure. In the
videos, you can make out two to three flickering lights as object moves towards
the south.”
Collins, who
investigated the case for MUFON, closed it as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.
On April 5, 2021, two
people in Independence, Oregon, reported they had noticed a strange light in
the sky, which was not moving. The witness said, “The light was much lower than
the airplanes fly. The object was over the river and the nearby fields. We watched it “bend” into a slight “V” or boomerang-ish
shape, with 4 lights then appearing. It then broke into 2 sets of 2 lights, one
disappeared, and the other then melded into one light again, and began ‘zipping/darting’,
but remaining in/over the same area. After a few seconds, they came back
together, formed one light again and then began to move NW. I began driving and
about a mile and a half up the road we saw it again, it was moving south and
much slower, but had the 4 lights on. I pulled over and we watched it. It came
over right in front of us, but was about as high as a hand glider would be. The
lights were a pale blue and there were 4 lights. I reached into my bag and
pulled out my Canon, but the photos when uploaded were unexpectedly blurry and
they looked as if I didn’t have a telephoto lens attached (which I did). I
cannot explain this, it’s almost as if a force I didn’t notice caused my camera
to malfunction. As it passed over, while I was attempting to take pictures my
passenger was recording on their cell phone, but that recording too was
exceptionally blurry and did not turn out with anything that could be seen. The
thing was absolutely silent. We rolled down the windows to listen because we
were in the country, remote, and no sound was around. It ‘floated’ away heading
south over farm land between Corvallis Road and Buena Vista Road and then in
about 5 seconds it was gone. It had entirely disappeared.
The UFO described above.
Although the video and
pictures are not very good you can see them here:

On September 5 of this
year, near Chester, PA., according to the National UFO Reporting Center, the
witness watched a fireball of an object over the house. According to the
witness, “It was sitting in one place as I filmed it but began to move when the
film started. It was white. Then there were two blue oblong type shaped items
[that] showed in the video. It was a cloudy evening, there were no stars
showing.” There are two videos, but the National UFO Reporting Center has no
links to them. The witness said the UFO was in sight for about two minutes,
which, if accurate, rules out a meteor or fireball.
Finally, I have very
little information on the sighting other than it took place in Roswell, New
Mexico, on August 30 of this year. The sighting lasted about a minute and the
witness photographed a disc-shaped object. No explanation was offered, and I
noticed this simply because it happened northwest of Roswell and not all that
long after the annual festival there.

Not the best images in the world. In fact the best images I have seen are typically fakes. (Billy Meier comes to mind.)
While we are on the subject....has anyone noticed that since the advent of all these high quality cameras, no abductee has brought back quality images of said abduction? You'd think they'd have a hidden recorder in their rooms to catch this. So far: nothing. (At least anything authentic.)
09rja "In fact the best images I have seen are typically fakes."
The debunkers are never happy...They'll say If the picture is blurred it's a "fake" and if it's too good it's "photoshopped".
The interesting stuff with credicle witnesses is locked away. (Gordon Cooper footage, etc)
All this stuff can stay in secret files indefinitely...way more than 70 years.
Who else has heard this before: there are many photos of UFOs today and they're on high cameras. Followed by the "evidence": "I'm sorry but they aren't very good but here it is"; followed by blurry, out of focus photo! I think it's clear by now that the shine has rubbed off the UFO genre. People are simply no longer as gullible as they once were. Technology has a way of killing myths.
Except there are some very good photographs out there... The problem is the noise to signal ratio.

Well even a lot of the UFO buffs didn't buy Billy Meier's stuff. So you can't blame me for that one.
I do find it highly suspicious that with (for example) TV News crew cameras everywhere now (for just about everything, even car wrecks)....none of them have caught some good images. It's almost like the aliens have some sort of unwritten rule to stay as far away from credible witnesses and camera crews (especially in the daytime) as possible! Pretty laughable when you stop and think about it. (Considering what has been caught over the years.)
Furthermore, it's downright ridiculous that a abductee has no photographic/film proof at this point. Surveillance cameras are easy to set up. The average 7-11 (in case you don't know: that's a convenience store, they sell booze so you've probably been in it if one is near you) has a better camera system than the UFO buffs have been able to set up to watch a potentially Earth-shattering event.
But I am just a "debunker" because I dare think of these things. :)
Anonymous...But what about the Cooper footage? Professionally filmed. Why has that been held back from public consumption for 60 odd years? (Another one of these decades old files being kept secret)
And what about the TicTac? Relatively good footage of an unknown powered aircraft, but without heat trace, that can out perform Super Hornets.
But what about the Cooper footage? Professionally filmed.~Paul Young
What about it? He saw it at Edwards right? Could have been anything. The Air Force experimented with all sorts of things at that time. (Including flying saucer shapes. You may want to look up the VZ-9AV.)

lol Yeah, really good footage. A tiny dot that you can't even make out what it is. Also never mind the fact that credible sources (i.e. people who aren't tied to the UFO explanation for everything) have stated a lot of the talk about the "performance" of these objects could be very wrong.
But once again, where we have any footage, it's questionable at best....the good stuff stays locked away and manages to avoid the countless cameras out there now. Is that about it? Laughable logic.
It's worth noting (at this point) one of the worst airline crashes in US History (in fact, when it happened it was THE worst): PSA 182. (In San Diego, 1978.....I remember it quite well for personal reasons.) I won't bother to post the photos and film because they are easy to find. But note the fact that between the collision of the Cessna and the 727 and both of their impacts on the ground.....there was a grand total of about 20 seconds. Inside of that 20 seconds, a guy taking pictures got 2 high quality stills (better than 95% of anything I've seen on UFOs) and a camera crew caught the crash of the Cessna.
Think about it for a second: with a 20 second window (and obviously no advance warning) a handful of people got better film evidence of a plane crash (in 1978 no less) than has been produced in 70 years for most UFO claims.
So unless you think there is some Men in Black going around and grabbing all the good stuff from civilian sources.....I'd say we got a problem here Houston.
Anonymous...well the footage certainly impressed Cooper. I wonder why, after almost 70 years, that footage is still unavailable for the people to have a gander at?
As for tiktak...funny how these experienced Navy pilots don't have a clue what it is and the US Navy are baffled as to how it coud figure out where the CAP point would be and got there before the super hornets could....yet our resident "loiterer" is confident it could only be some mundane terrestrial object. Chuckle. :-)

That's great but that isn't (particularly) strong evidence. Especially since it isn't available.

Probably because it caught something classified or he was filming in a classified area. Of course, this sort of thing has been explained to you ad nauseam....you just didn't like the explanation. (Mainly because it demonstrated your serious lack of knowledge on these subjects.)

Speaking of lack of knowledge....you seriously believe that navy pilots know every piece of hardware flying around? Do I have to tell you (for example) how many military pilots knew what the U-2 was before it became public knowledge? (Hint: very few.) You need to look up the "need to know" concept there chuckles.
And the US Navy isn't saying these are aliens (really virtually no other credible person is either).....the explanations all range from software malfunctions, optical illusions, foreign hardware and so forth. But for our resident barfly....it must be a UFO.
Ahhh, so if the government doesn't want you to see secret files (or footage, in the Cooper case) then they can keep it away from investigators for as long as they want. In this case...60 odd year! :-)
Incidently, I wonder what kind of "softwear malfunction" can zoom off to a CAP point at over 3000 MPH? :-)

Yep, and in this case, no insider has decided it is worth leaking. (I.e. it's obviously something terrestrial.)

I know erroneous data can make it seem like that is what is happening. But software glitches are fairly common with radar (especially the newer it is). 5 years ago, Hong Kong's main airport installed a new radar system and it was a fiasco as the software systems were incompatible. As a result there was all sorts of erroneous data showing up at the tower. There have been (of course) crashes due to faulty data in other instances.
Really don't know anything about anything do you?
How do you know an insider doesn't think the Cooper footage isn't worth leaking?
More likely no one with a whistle blowing tendency has seen it. More importantly, why have previous attempts to have it released been ignored?...As for tiktak it seems that the Pentagon and Navy don't know what it is...but our loiterer can assure them it's nowt to be worryibg about. 😀

I'm about as sure of it as you are that it is something extraordinary/extraterrestrial. But what I do know for sure is the fact the "leaks" (in general) in the UFO business never prove anything and (apparently) no one on the inside thinks this is worth leaking. I should think that is highly unlikely. (Considering the extraordinary things that have been leaked in the past.) REAL leaks have brought down presidencies and altered public perception of shooting wars. UFO leaks? Dubious documents and even more dubious "witnesses" that change nothing.
Bottom line: nobody is debating if what (for example) Daniel Ellsberg went public with is the real deal. We still are with MJ-12. The fact that everything that gets "leaked" in the UFO field leaves us with more questions than answers.....says it all.

Probably because no one has leaked it.

So they leak MJ-12 (which, of course, proves nothing) but nobody wants to leak this supposedly strong piece of evidence? lol
Daniel Ellsberg needs to start doing motivational speaking tours for whistle blowers. :)
Anonymous... Who's talking about MJ12?
I'm talking about the Cooper footage. And if you're wondering why no one leaked information about it...then Cooper himself did. And who's a more credible person than Gordon Cooper?
As for whistleblower's in general...I expect they'd be many more, concerning various secret files, but for the fact that the penatlies are pretty severe.
(You only have to see what Julian Assage has been faced with in recent years, to realise that)
And that's how secrets are kept secret indefinitely.

lol Yeah right. Guys have risked death for not only leaking what their conscience said shouldn't be hidden.....but also out of pure greed (see a guy called Aldrich Ames).
Laughable logic as always.
The whistleblower in this particular case was Cooper himself. If he's not a credible witness (one of the most impressive men in the early space programme and, before that, trusted to test fly prototype aircraft)...then I don't know who is.
