> And the pictures of UFOs that are clearly visible are rapidly dismissed as CGI.

The UFO hoaxers should probably spend some more time learning how to use Blender well. The most compelling videos are the real videos of LIZ objects. The videos which show anything clearly are uniformly laughably bad. I challenge you to link some videos that depict an apparent alien craft clearly which aren't obviously fake.

Currently unresolved sighting of a UAP

disclosed during the AARO public hearing

on April 19th, 2023. Obviously not definitive proof, but high res footage of an anomalous craft with no visible means of propulsion.

Looks like a child's balloon blowing in the wind. It's not a large object lower down, it's a small object closer to the camera. That's why it appears to be moving so quickly and why it doesn't cast a shadow in the initial shot.

Raw footage is linked there, too.

Again, just looks like something that's blown up into a cloud and is now being blown around in the turbulence. It's reflective enough that the sun shining through the clouds makes it look bright. Probably flat rather than a cylinder.

I'd love to see a UFO, but I'm always disappointed by the footage.

It'd have to be a pretty big object, I think. Your reasoning alone is not enough for me to consider it not-weird. If there was evidence that there was a windstorm in the area at the time and/or that a big piece of sheet metal fell in some field, that would probably be enough to make it less-weird.

Edit: comments in the thread suggest it might be camera distortion, which seems more reasonable to me, but doesn't account for it appearing to go behind clouds.

Looks similar to a 'Roswell Rod' which turned out to be insects.
