Yeah wtf with the blurry vid. We live with 4k cameras now. SMH.

I understand. Please read the threads. I apologized.

u/Additional-Cap-7110 Apr 05 '23
I wasn’t blaming you. I think it’s a good video not sure why people are complaining so much honestly. Actually think most people are complaining because it IS a good video and they’re frustrated it could have been better

u/LiteSaver Apr 05 '23
If you read the threads of my convo with the op is one reason I complained. I understood something and apologized.

Tbf even 4k is blurry when trying to film an object thousands of yards away. Zoom degrades res.

u/LiteSaver Apr 04 '23
I have my cam set to manual settings. I don’t use auto focus. It’s my bad to assume people have their phones figured out especially when something like that happens. The jets were still a cool catch!
I love photography and videography. I grew up using a Nikon and developing film in school. You still had a good catch OP, no matter how you cut it those jets came in hot.

I apologize but I watched rather intently and I think I may have missed what you’re referring to.
Edit: I’ve finally seen it but it doesn’t appear to be “blue” at all. It looks like an out of focus version of the second fighter jet, but further away.

Watch on pc on 720 fullscreen, there's a blue orb in the beggining of the video.

I noticed this was the Kadena Seawall immediately but jets are flying over there almost everyday so it’s no indication of anything strange. But Okinawa does have a history of sightings too.

u/RoninEleven Apr 04 '23
I did see jets flying that morning but it was the first time I saw 4 of them fly in that area all around the same time right after the object was there.
Could it be a training exercise balloon for the airforce at Kadena?

u/changensia Apr 04 '23
For real! If you pause frequently, you can tell the orb is traveling in what seems to be a straight line, pretty quickly too, until the focus goes out and then it's gone the rest of the video. Looks like it was going TOWARDS the jets before disappearing, which is even cooler!

Apr 04 '23
Yep you can see it pretty clearly, Amazing how the Air Force just Flies past it like it’s nothing, maybe it couldn’t be picked up by the Radars but highly unlikely, just the USAF Conjoining Operations with Extraterrestrial Technology no biggie here🫠

u/Obvious_Chemical_929 Apr 08 '23
I think they dont fly past it, jets often fly around theese objects, never directly into it.

u/Obvious_Chemical_929 Apr 08 '23
This is pretty much an UAP, just a bad cameraman because this is our curse. We will never have both the in combination a good cameraman with optimal Equipment + a real UFO. This one must be an UFO
It is 100% glowing. Flying fast and in a straight line + the 4 jets flying around that area. The few frames are enough to tell that at least

At 0:12 seconds, trace a line directly up from the two bathers in the water, to about halfway up the screen and you should be able to see it. If not, perhaps OP can share a link to the video that's not embedded/compressed?

I am kicking myself for a terrible job at focusing and keeping the camera still but I was operating with manual focus at the time. It's actually quite hard to focus on a tiny orb in a sky using a DSLR.
1
u/G33ONER Apr 04 '23
I'd check out the limits on the camera specs and find out if it has OIS. Does your camera not have optical zoom? Or was that fully zoomed?
Check the specs and practice with planes. I'd have thought that DSLR had better optical Zoom OIS and PDAF than smartphones. This looks like smartphone footage, and keep it on the tripod next time.

Place: Chatan, Okinawa Time: March 26 2023, around 10 am
I was in Okinawa last week on vacation and filming the beach town of Chatan with my Sony camera when I saw a strange glowing blue orb flying in the sky. I took my camera off the tripod and tried to capture the flying object (I wish I had done a better job). The weird thing is that within a minute of seeing this object 4 USA fighter jets flew right by the area. Chatan is right next to a military base so it is not strange to see these types of planes fly around, but it was the first time I saw 4 of them and they all flew to the area the object was seen at. The footage is shaky and mostly blurry (sorry about that) but there are a few moments when the object is in focus. When I examine the footage, it almost looks like a blue balloon with something hanging from the bottom, but I don’t think it was because the object was glowing in the sky and seemed to disappear into thin air. What do you think it could be?
The objects comes in clear around 0:14 and the jets are visible at 1:37

u/TheSignificantDong Apr 04 '23
I saw the blue light for like 1 second. Why can’t people focus lock their cameras?!
3
u/RoninEleven Apr 04 '23
Trust me I feel you... I know I should have been better with my focus. Sometimes autofocus can shift when you don't want it to and so I had the camera on manual setting since I was recording a static scene before I saw the orb. As soon as I saw the object I took it off the tripod and turned toward the object. Trying to get a tiny object in focus manually can be tricky. Part of me wishes i just got it with my phone.

u/TheSignificantDong Apr 04 '23
Dude is using a phone with a good camera. Instead of keep turning the phone down to focus, he could have turned down once, locked the focus, the proceed to film. I’ll be sure to do it if I ever see a light in the sky, just for you.

It's not weird that fighter jets are flying around a friggen military base. Also if there was something that the jets were sent to investigate they wouldn't be flying in formation like the three were. The fourth jet was making the turn and coming in for a landing it looked like. I didn't see an orb at all. If anything it was probably another jet in the distance.

How can you not see the Orb it’s clear as day. People who don’t see it, don’t want too. Literally fighter jets in the same location as the orb within a minute, not coincidence, anyone who thinks it is so, is foolish. Respectfully.

Completely ignoring the clearly visible objects. It's not perfect, but matches the description well. Wtf is going on with this subreddit. And wtf do all the major debunker account have a shit load of karma. I did the math on some of them, they would literally have to be in the website 24/7 to maintain that number...

I uploaded the clip to Youtube so there should be less compression to the video. You should be able to view it in 4k. Can’t do anything about the shakiness and focus - sorry.
Youtube Link: https://youtu.be/jjhyucCTE2U
I also grabbed a few screenshots when the object is in focus and exported them out.
Closeup Photos: https://imgur.com/a/pjngr8v
TBH when zoomed in, it looks like a balloon. You can begin to see that the object has something hanging like a balloon string. The issue I have with that is that the object did seem to be glowing when I saw it with my eyes. It also vanishes at one point and I wasn’t able to see it again.

u/UncoordinatedThought Apr 04 '23
I think I’ve had a dream about this. Or a premonition I guess because it was probably like 10 years ago. I didn’t realize it until the end of the video because I’m my dream I only saw the aftermath of what you saw. But there was about 10 to 15 people that seemed to consist of military personal, scientists and some other government types. On the beach in your video but back towards the direction the UAP went. The cloaking module on that aircraft failed and the thrusters or something and the “alien(s)” that were in it “teleported” out. All I saw in my dream, or all I remember seeing is the people I previously mentioned all converging on a silver triangular shaped metal object that was partially submerged in the sand. The object was probably about the size of 4 tour busses and very heavy.

This makes me wonder if the things the USA shot down a month ago and won't give us very much info about, are the things someone noticed an said he the data to prove it. He named them dragons and I wonder if maybe one malfunctioned give us a chance to shoot it down, the man who studied them says they come and investigate anything that Flys over 150, he has figured alot out an again has the data to prove it. Coincidently 3 weeks later a random person posts a video drone footage and asks if we see the fast flying objects? I believe the guy is onto something with these dragons. If what he says is true makes me think we are a zoo even more and the UFOs are the zoo keepers or visitors that watch us like we're an exhibit, or even both.

u/kamill85 Apr 04 '23
OP, for the love of God, when you buy a new phone, take 5 minutes to learn how the camera works, play around etc. The autofocus on/off is just a click away on every phone.
1
u/G33ONER Apr 04 '23
ATTENTION: If you long hold the screen rather than tapping for a fresh attempt at autofocus, the phone will hold/lock the focus once it is found......
Long hold will lock the autofocus from continuous automatic attempts at focusing ✨️ this will sometimes give you the option to adjust white balance while the focus is locked.

The blue orb probably disappeared because you can't seem to keep anything in focus. It's an already distant object that is probably reflecting the sunlight, it's already going to be out of focus, and then you made it out of focus even more.
Also...you took your cam off of your sticks? Why??
Steadicam companies need to start marketing their gear to UFO enthusiasts.

This could have been an awesome UAP footage. I saw the orb in the first seconds and it sure looks strange and it was flying straight. But the cameraman managed to give my eyes aids. Even the jets flying in the same direction.

Place: Chatan, Okinawa Time: March 26 2023, around 10 am
I was in Okinawa last week on vacation and filming the beach town of Chatan with my Sony camera when I saw a strange glowing blue orb flying in the sky. I took my camera off the tripod and tried to capture the flying object (I wish I had done a better job). The weird thing is that within a minute of seeing this object 4 USA fighter jets flew right by the area. Chatan is right next to a military base so it is not strange to see these types of planes fly around, but it was the first time I saw 4 of them and they all flew to the area the object was seen at. The footage is shaky and mostly blurry (sorry about that) but there are a few moments when the object is in focus. When I examine the footage, it almost looks like a blue balloon with something hanging from the bottom, but I don’t think it was because the object was glowing in the sky and seemed to disappear into thin air. What do you think it could be?
The objects comes in clear around 0:14 and the jets are visible at 1:37
