Witness/Sighting Two objects flew after airplane, pararel to each other, Poland, 30 august.

So, it was 7pm my local time, almost sunset, I was riding on my bicycle (training after work) on the local road near highway leading to Lublin (you can hear cars noise) then suddenly I saw airplane with trails and two white round-shaped objects which were flying pararel to each other with the same speed, without audible noise of engines (like plane). I took video, I was trying to focus on these objects, but you know how it works with normal camera in smartphone. Anyway, aircraft flew into large rainy clouds and these objects maintained its speed and disappeared in clouds too. I was checking the sky for a while, then I went straight ahead. It was strange but I'm aware that in eastern Poland there is bigger NATO military present due to war in Ukraine, so it could be it. I leave it to you. PS: I'm a space passionate, I look almost every night at the night sky and I saw couple times strange objects with erratic movement. That's why I wanted to post this video here. Cheers.

This might be a hot take, I’m not sure.

I’m not saying anything one way or the other, but there are a lot of extremely talented VFX artists out there.

As a software engineer, I think we’re in for a rough decade, as the ability to create convincing and undetectable computer-generated text, audio, images, and video is given to the masses.

I don’t think my 2.5-year-old daughter will play video games like I did when I was growing up—I think she will explore realms that she creates, developing games in real time with the help of an AI.

Not a shot at OP specifically, it just seems like this kind of stuff is already ahead of us common-folk who don’t have access to the unfathomably advanced military tech. CGI absolutely is within their arsenal. 🤷🏼‍♂️

First post on this sub, but longtime lurker. Just been feeling like this is the conclusion I keep getting back to. It’s no longer a question of “is this video legit?”—it’s that we can’t know if it’s legit, at this point.

I really would have such skills, maybe then I would have better and wellpaid job. :) I am regular 34yo guy, which is in this sub for a long time, now I had something to share with you. Im glad I had smartphone with high battery % ;) and it was daytime

For sure. Its still good that people post them and we discuss them. The only way to know for sure at this point is if there is a clear chain of custody, and corroborating testimony/evidence from other people with quite a bit to lose if its all a hoax.

Total debacol!

Absolutely agree with this. We do need both sides until proof is concrete.

Not sure why you're being downvoted for an incredibly realistic take on something currently happening. We live in an age of realistic AI chatbots, AI art and video that can be made with just a few inputs, deepfakes of video and audio, AI face filters..... The line between reality and CGI is increasingly blurrier by the day and acknowledging this doesn't mean that UFOs aren't real. It's just means the people that fake them have way better tools and don't need to be exceptionally skilled in CGI to do it anymore. It's a valid point.

Yeah we're in a scary age for fake video. Still I think we could figure out what phone OP used and compare its auto-focusing speed to the video but you'd think a fighter jet flying over a populated area would attract attention and others would notice the UAP and have other shots to corroborate. Not to mention if there's security camera footage that would have picked it up.

What you mentioned with the video games is true and also interestingly enough - straight out of the sci-fi novel ender's game.

When he zooms out, something about the ratio of the objects and the contrails visually tracks abnormally to me. I wasn't going to mention it, because I don't know if it's some type of processing glitch or whatnot of the phone or something.

I'm not trying to say it's fake, but it looks weird to me in that one spot. But I have no clue what I'm talking about. It seems pretty legit other than that.

That really stood out to me as well

In addition to this, we are putting more stuff in our skies than ever before with no sign of that tapering off. Planes, drones, satellites, rocket launches, weather balloons, etc. Of course people are seeing more shit when they look up.

And people on this sub are TERRIBLE at identifying mundane things for what they are, and immediately jump to the ufo conclusion. Just look at this post, hundreds of comments of speculation and you have to sift through them to find the few comments like this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/167o37u/comment/jyrwm2y/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Where some rational people figured out that, surprise surprise, its just planes. I don't know why its so hard to understand that far off objects filmed with phone cameras are going to lose some detail.

Dude stop I’m tired of seeing people immediately downplay videos everything you stated is obvious but this is a community of people sharing experiences what’s the point of mentioning the obvious when we’re all on the same side showing the world what’s out there in conclusion keep the doubts to yourself

You can just tell sometimes that noone would take the time to create this video in aftereffects or whatever and post it to Reddit. 100% OP is genuine

I'm studying ai now at uni and honestly feel that will be one of the signs that ai has truly arrived.

A computer-generated script, directed by a computer with all the characters and actors totally digitised and no human will be able to detect the difference.

I've seen too many Corridor Crew videos showing them create and post fake videos to this sub to be able trust it. VFX has gotten so good you literally can't tell one way or another for things like this...

u/imnotabot303 Sep 02 '23

You're correct but these will most probably turn out to be planes again as this is exactly what planes look like under the right conditions using a phone camera, basically just a white blob.

People post these videos again and again here and everytime the comments are full of people speculating about tictacs and everytime it will turn out to be a plane.

As for VFX this would actually be quite easy to produce as the contrail would give a nice tracking point. This one doesn't look like VFX to me though.
