Leaked Government UFO Photo: What Is Hovering Cube-Shaped Object?

Read the article? The article manages to describe it in the first paragraph like this:

The object in the photo has been described by U.S. officials as silver and “cube-shaped,” according to a report from The Debrief, which first shared the image.

which is ridiculous because it's clearly not. Are they talking about a totally different photo I wonder? Later in the article the guy who took the photo is quoted as saying:

It’s likely that a backseat weapons system operator on an F/A-18F Super Hornet took the photo of the object, which McMillan calls “inverted” and “bell-shaped,” and describes it having “ridges or other protrusions along its lateral edges, extending toward its base.”

So there's something seriously wrong with this article.

I agree, this looks like a large mylar party balloon, like this 33-inch Batman balloon available in the same shape: https://www.partycity.com/batman-balloon---cape-33in-262471....

Yeah, my first thought was a mylar balloon too:

I assume the pilot knows their speed, the wind speed and direction and using radar the objects speed and direction.

First time I encounter this name. Please, what is the use of a radar corner in high altitude in mid Atlantic, is it used in weather stations?

For people who agree with this comment and would like a more formal treatment, UFO debunker Mick West writes about the "low information zone" here:

To be fair I’ve got a fairly nice DSLR but without a $3000 chunk of glass in front of it, everything looks like a blurry mess at any distance which a UFO may be involved. I don’t own a $3000 chunk of glass.

UFOs are certainly real but they probably aren’t extraterrestrial if you consider Occam’s razor.

If it wasn't blurry, it would be obvious what it was, and hence not a UFO. The extra-terrestrial idea is a bit far fetched, but generally, they're just objects/phenomena that can't be identified, not necessarily exotic.

Not only 8K cameras, but pretty much every single person on the planet walking with a phone camera ready to record video. We have tens of "Ow My Balls" type of websites aggregating hundreds of funny/tragic/weird/illegal/mostly nsfw(or not safe to overall mental health in general) clips daily and still no believable semi legit quality evidence.

I use to say that till i saw a strange phenomenon myself and realised cameras do have a hard time focusing in the sky due to autofocus. But some of these things do exist for sure, answer to what they are is anyones guess. From Marsh gas to mylar balloons.

1. Buy the most expensive camera and lens you can find (let’s say $10,000 in total).

2. Take a picture of a flying object through your window or windshield while riding shotgun in a car, at speed.

3. Show us sharp the picture is

The pilot used his mobile phone to take this pic. Most Mobile phones don’t have good enough lens to take high Res pics at a distance.

Of course. Otherwise, they would be identified!

You should read the article and the source article from The Debrief before casting opinionated derisions. I'm pretty sure the multiple military officials that reviewed the evidence and the trained fighter pilots that saw it would have no problem identifying a weather balloon.
