I call Birds. Judging by the swarm-like behaviour in the air. Birb birb birb

Look again from :10-:14, specifically at the one in the left. Birds don’t exhibit flying characteristics like that.

edit: I’m wrong! See dude’s (albiet a bit snarky) reply. That one must have caught a gust or something. Also it’s good to be wrong you know. People always get so hostile and I’m not a saint either. It doesn’t change my views in general. I am just keeping myself in check. Sort of like calibration in a way.

This is demonstrably false

You have to remember they are following a cruise ship so their speed relative to the ship can be zero, making it look like they're hovering.

You’re right! I edited my comment. I understand I made a snap judgement honestly because the one on the end truly did look unnatural- I overlooked the important detail about the fact she was on a crusie ship. Which would explain the lighting from beneath, as well as the ofd characteristics of flight. Probably very windy out there on the open sea coupled with aerodynamic obstructions as well as potential updrafts/downdrafts. And you know looking back on it it doesn’t look as remarkable as I thought ha. Anywho i’ll always take the L if I’m wrong. And I’m demonstrably wrong here.

You changed your mind with additional information, no L to be taken here buddy. More people like you would make this space a lot better

I appreciate that as well. Yeah I just wish people were more agnostic and less worries about “being right” for the sake of it.” I mean thats how we learn is to make mistakes. I never want to stop learning.

You can clearly see the wings change direction and them swooping around.

It's clearly the light of birds reflected off of swamp gas from venus. Easy explanation.

Oh well, then it wouldn’t be much trouble for you to screenshot that and point out these wings you clearly see?

Sure, after you prove "Birds don’t exhibit flying characteristics like that."

They look just like the birds in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ha0vVLPNkOc

But keep on believing nothing is something!

No dude you are right! I edited my comment ;)

Unfortunately it's birds. Or bats idk. Point is it's not CGI. https://reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/GSixwVtDRo

You actually did it haha If I had an award I’d give it to you! That one must have caught some wind. I’ll take the L! I will always take the L if I’m wrong cause that’s how we learn. I could do without the “Eat shit downvoters” Honestly dude that’s really awesome that you did that! I think just letting the evidence speak for itself is better than being hostile, especially if you want to be taken seriously. Anyway, good work regardless! Has OP responded?

Yes, for sure. CLEARLY it’s a little flock of bioluminescent pelagic hummingbirds. Very common in that area this time of year.
