Videos of strange and mysterious objects and other phenomena in the sky

Why is image so jerky- is it stitched together from multiple frames?

The video was taken from a camera monitoring the volcano 24/7. So I guess they shortened the video to present it on social media. Here is another video


It is very common to see luminous objects near the volcano which is said to have a large electromagnetic anomaly

ABSTRACT:
Geomagnetic anomalies in the area of Popocatepetl volcano, Mexico

Geomagnetic anomalies of different nature observed in the area of Popocatepetl volcano are presented and analyzed in the current paper. The analysis reveals some anomalies considered to be of local volcanic origin: the EM background in the vicinity of the volcano was found to be significantly noisier than other reference stations; sporadic strong noise-like geomagnetic activity was observed in the H-component; some geomagnetic pulsations were observed only at Tlamacas station (located 4 km near the volcano). Some noticeable changes in the evolution of the fractal index calculated for geomagnetic field may be connected to the presence of critical processes in the volcano dynamics.
 
Why is image so jerky- is it stitched together from multiple frames?
Short answer: "not synchronized video/screen tearing" due to different framerate.
Usually computers (and software or even computer screens) make sure that video is smooth but that does not always work, and it is kinda hard to solve (there are a lot of different video players, formats, codecs, and a lot of different hardware).

Additional, longer answer:
Its hard to confirm where things went wrong, but twitter video contains black borders around video (youtube feeds do not have them).
Since Webcams de México decided to share certain find. And video is live (with 12 hour time limit) they had to download that part of video that will soon disappear. And share that cut.
Since downloading can be tricky and it requires some kind of specialized knowledge someone could decide to just record their screen (which usually works unless video is protected through DRM). While it works it is not perfect and often out of sync, and if computer it was recorded on is slow then result is even worser because video player could decide to skip displaying some frames (so that video will play at all).
Also there is possibility that youtube live feed is also recording of someone display so its like picture of picture of picture. More steps, more places where things could go wrong.

I am 8 hours too late (12 hour limit), so I cannot confirm if original youtube feed did not have stuttering.
 
I posted the stills below from last night on the Eclipse thread. I also just quickly edited two minutes of the video and attached it as a link to my YT channel below.

April.08.2024 Lights

This very energetic light hung around for at least an hour. When I went to bed it was still out there doing the exact same thing. I checked in the morning at 0630 before going to work, but it was already bright out and the light was gone

To give a bit of background, I'm not an expert at using the night vision yet, and I really should have gone into the basement and dug out the tripod to stabilize it. But I thought I might miss it doing something ;-)

I wear glasses, so usually with the light pollution and atmospheric effects, everything looks kind of twinkly to me in the night sky. I have a general idea of where the stars and planets are supposed to be - so even if I see something out of the ordinary - I don't grab the night vision. We live close to downtown and the police helicopter is overhead all the time. Usually what will catch my attention is a high-flying jet - because it's blinking and I can't hear it yet. But after watching for a while, a clear flight path and the engines will become clear.

This light may have been slightly moving South to North, but not much. If I had to guess, I would say it was between five and ten thousand feet. Much higher than a landing plane or the police chopper, but nowhere near where a big jet would be overflying to another destination.

When I took the night vision out last night, it was because Jupiter looked bright and I wanted to see it. Before I scanned over to Jupiter, I found this. Maybe a light effect? But I scanned the other stars and they all looked like they usually do through night vision. This light was completely different. I did bring my wife out and she was surprised because this light was barely visible with the naked eye and looked like a dim star. But once it came onto the night vision, it looked completely different.

The night vision idea came from Paulides - who uses 4th generation military stuff. Which are out of my range for the cost. The Sionyx Aurora is still pricey, but you can find them on e-bay for a deal occasionally. They also film in colour, which I thought could be an advantage - even though you lose resolution. This light could be some odd atmospheric anomaly, but I don't thing it's a drone, plane or satellite due to its brightness, silence and the fact it barely moved for over an hour.

I just wanted to follow up on this video/photos I posted a few weeks ago. It turns out it's not anything unusual at all. Night vision responds to refracting light completely differently than the eye (I obviously should have known this).

I had to wait until the exact same cloud conditions happened to try it again. The time was shortly after twilight and there were low lying thin clouds along the horizon obscuring some stars but not the ones higher in the sky. ALL the stars behind the clouds had the same puslating multi-colour effects. All the stars above the could line - no lighting effects. So the frenetic pulsing I caught was just how the night vision camera reads certain cloud conditions and light refraction. Mystery solved ;-)
 
This photo is being circulated on Twitter/X following the attack on Stonehenge by climate activists. What appears above the ruins I don't know if it is a camera error, a dead pixel, a manipulated photo or there is an orb floating above Stonehenge which does not reflect sunlight.​

From the discussions in X, which revolved around the right or wrong of what the activists did, we realize that people didn't notice the obscure point until someone asked about it.

And now no one knows for sure. Some see a force field surrounding the point or object. Photography experts have the last word

Looks like someone accidentally touched the screen with the brush tool enabled. Happens to me all the time. Also, it seems too sharp compared to everything else.

Are abyss-colored UAPs common? They usually look more ethereal on camera, for what I’ve seen.

p.s. stonehenge looks like an elephant now 🐘

Dozens of employees observed a dark metallic disc at an outdoor concert at the Redrock Colorado Amphitheater on June 5.

Jun 28, 2024 Updated Jun 28, 2024
When Michael Lehmann reported his story of a UFO encounter in the area of Colorado's iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre to the National UFO Reporting Center, he didn't know it would go viral a few weeks later. But once the news of the report broke, the tale of the sighting quickly got picked up by numerous media sources around the country.

In short, Lehmann and about a dozen coworkers were working at the Morrison-area Red Rocks Amphitheatre in the early morning hours of June 5 following an event headlined by All Time Low when they spotted a massive unknown object estimated to be several hundred feet long in the night sky. After being present for about 30 seconds, the object described as metallic in nature and with three levels of windows seemed to vanish in thin air.

In conversation with Lehmann about the encounter, he provided details that are sure to answer some of the questions people might have about the incident.

Before digging in, it's worth noting that Lehmann described himself as a "hopeful skeptic" when it came to UFOs – someone who always wanted to 'believe' but found it difficult without personal proof.

That is, until June 5.

According to Lehmann, a lack of moonlight in the night sky made it easier to spot the object as it hovered over a hogback ridge about a mile north of the iconic venue. Given its matte black and metallic nature, however, it still "blended in with the sky pretty well."

As soon as the object was noticed, more of Lehmann's coworkers started to spot the same object as they loaded expensive audio and lighting equipment into a semi truck near the venue's Trading Post building. Soon, the group stood in awe. That is, until one of the coworkers pulled out a flashlight and shined it in direction of the apparent craft, at which point the craft seemed to become invisible, as if it was using some sort of "cloaking device."

According to Lehmann, a lot of people have asked why no one in the group snagged a photo. His response was simple – they all had their hands full working and by the time those witnessing the sight started to comprehend what they were seeing, the craft was already gone.

Since the sighting, the coworkers have continued to discuss the hard-to-believe encounter, seeming to come to the consensus that they did indeed see something odd in the night sky.

Lehmann noted that he wasn't sure whether or not he thinks the odd object in the sky was military or alien or otherwise, but he is sure he saw something. Lehmann also hopes that him talking about the encounter publicly will help break a stigma around reporting odd sightings in the sky, also noting that since he's come public with his story, a large number of friends have had their own similar stories to share


Colorado is the 12th-ranked spot for UFO sightings, with 3,320 reports filed with the National UFO Reporting Center.

Also, out of Montana, a Cigar-Shaped Glowing UFO caught using Military Grade Night Vision
Jun 21, 2024 10:20 PM EDT
A military-grade night vision video from Montana recently caught a bright, glowing UFO in the shape of a "cigar." This has sparked a lot of interest in the field of UFO study.

The Intriguing Sighting in the Skies

In June, a person in Montana saw a slow-moving, silent object. It looked like a blur to the naked eye but was clearer through a night vision camera.

The defense contractor SiOnyx made the camera, which showed a long cylinder-shaped light moving across the starry sky before going behind a mountain range. Even though incident occurred near Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport, the video contained no commercial air movement sounds.

Alejandro Rojas, an assistant to Enigma Labs, said that the object looked a lot like Starlink satellites but was seen as a single, solid object. The video was sent to Enigma Labs for further research.

They keep a complete UAP database. Rojas talked about how important these videos are for helping people and scientists understand UFO sightings.

Historical Background and Technological Insights

This sighting could not have been possible without the SiOnyx night vision camera. People using SiOnyx's consumer models have said they have problems with high light contrast, which can make lit things look like one solid mass. This could explain why the UFO looked like a glowing sphere instead of clear lights.

As early as the late 1800s, people have seen UFOs that look like cigars. These things, often called "airships," have been a common theme in UFO stories for a long time. In 1977, 15 Broad Haven, Wales, students said they saw a silver plane resembling a cigar. Researchers are still interested in and confused by these sightings.

Both the Pentagon and NASA agree that UAPs are essential and that much data must be collected. This sighting in Montana, marked as Enigma case #294125, shows how important it is for the people and the government to keep interested in UAP research.

Adding to UFO investigations and Other Sightings

Japan has lately begun investigating allegations of UAP sightings in their nation to determine whether there are any potential security concerns, particularly from countries that are at odds with Japan, such as China. This follows an examination of UAPs by the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).

As the number of UAP reports increases and technology advances, these bizarre incidents are being investigated more thoroughly worldwide. David Marler, director of the National UFO Historical Records Center, believes that old and new UFO reports should be retained and researched.

Marler's job is sorting through declassified military records to find events that can be explained and those that can't. He says that known variables should be ruled out before it can be said that an object is genuinely unnamed. This approach helps us get a better picture of UAPs and what they mean.

Enigma Labs keeps getting hundreds of videos every week, and most of them are just boring. However, some cases, like the one in Montana, are still unclear and show that more study is needed. Rojas said that the UAP study is a numbers game; the more data gathered, the more likely it is that strange things will be found.

The latest sighting in Montana, caught on camera with high-tech night vision gear, adds an interesting case to the growing field of UFO research. The quest for solutions will continue as long as specialists investigate these incidents.

As a result, the difference between the known and the unknown will be lessened. Examining these objects, which may originate from Earth or other planets, is crucial to understanding the sky.
 
There's been a definite uptick in recent UFO and UAP sightings since 2021.

This includes daytime and observations at dusk, as well, from what I have witnessed in the States.



Watch: Odd UFOs Filmed During July Fourth Festivities Near Phoenix

July 05, 2022
By Tim Binnall
A puzzling piece of footage from a Fourth of July gathering in Arizona shows a pair of odd glowing orbs hovering in the night sky seemingly unrelated to any fireworks display. The strange scene was reportedly captured by a photographer working for the Phoenix TV station 12 News. The witness had been dispatched to cover the holiday festivities at the event center WestWorld in the nearby city of Scottsdale. At some point during the evening's activities, the photographer looked up at the sky and spotted two inexplicable objects, which they promptly set about filming and subsequently sent in to the TV station.

The peculiar video begins with the two balls of light hovering in the sky, before one of the vanishes from sight. The remaining orb, however, lingers in the air for quite some time, slowly descending with what appears to be a fiery tail until it finally disappears. In presenting the video to the their TV audience this morning, 12 News Scott McDonnell and Emily Pritchard indicate that they have no explanation for what the UFOs could have been, speculating that perhaps they were piece of a meteor or perhaps space junk returning to Earth.


There is, of course, the possibility that the fiery objects could have been errant fireworks, but they seem to have appeared in the sky independent of any show being put on at the facility. When asked for her take on the inexplicable light, 12 News meteorologist Krystle Henderson conceded that she was stumped by the strange sight and mused that "the only fun answer is aliens," which drew laughs from the anchors. With that in mind, what do you think was filmed near Phoenix last night? Share your best guess with us at the C2C Facebook page.
