This UAP video shows motion illusions from parallax (a turning and moving platform) and manual tracking.

This UAP is consistent with a balloon.

I photographed this in Barcelona in broad daylight. There were several of us watching it. We initially thought it was a balloon or a black plastic bag. Its overall trajectory was fairly straight, but its movement was irregular: sometimes faster, sometimes slower, occasionally rising and dropping, almost as if it were floating. We watched it continue toward the mountains until we eventually lost sight of it. I’m not claiming it was a humanoid or anything extraterrestrial — I genuinely don’t kn...

This UAP video of what looks like one or two balloons, complete with string (or payload tether), is auto-tracked, so we can more clearly see that the motion is consistent with parallax. Of course, we can't say for sure what it is. https://t.co/MFbc4hMXTc

This UAP video shows motion illusions from parallax (a turning and moving platform) and manual tracking. In the unstabilized (2nd) video, the motion illusion looks quite convincing! Consistent with a balloon or an antigravity non-human craft. You be the judge. https://t.co/B5dvEJLruj

This UAP is consistent with a balloon. That does not mean it IS a balloon, just that it quite possibly could be one. It could also be an anti-gravity drone from an alien spaceship or undersea base. But we know there are lots of balloons. https://t.co/J2a0rTVZuE

Our newest episode is live. Former Navy F-18 pilot Austin Hulbert dismissed his encounter as a balloon. Years later, building military balloons made him reconsider. Austin joins Ryan Graves to revisit what he saw and what changed his mind. https://t.co/qHRURtCISC

​ **London, UK, 7th September 2026, 7:30pm** I first saw it hovering over a house slowly spinning, and you could see a weird morphing effect of the shape of it as it spun. It almost looked 2D from the side on view at times. It was able to move in different directions despite no propulsion, always turning to face forwards before moving. I only managed to get a video as it left because I thought it was a balloon or bin bag at first.

I live in a hotspot and have filmed several orb uap. Over time I figured one way to distinguish between balloons and actual orb uap is to find a way to look at the objects up close. While some of these objects might pulse, glow, change colour or change shape, or show surface pattern changes, “some” exhibit what looks like a spinning motion. Or, maybe…perhaps some have some kind of spinning field surrounding it. This is a short compilation of ‘spinning’ plasmoid orb uap. All show no means of p...

Los Angeles is considered to be a UFO “hotspot”, and I’ve been filming and researching orb uap-ufo in the area since my first major sighting in 2013. Over time I have filmed several orb uap at a distance of between 500 to 1000 feet above. I’ve seen posts of civilian ufo/uap sightings increase over the years. In the case of daytime sightings there seems to still be quite a bit of confusion among viewers on how to distinguish an actual plasmoid orb uap from a balloon. I would recommend finding...
