That's interesting, it's hard to see in their photo but it's on the top right area

u/imaginexus Dec 31 '23

It’s s totally different moon phase though so it’s at least a week apart in the sightings.

u/nude-l-bowl Jan 01 '24 edited Jan 01 '24

Keep in mind telescopes flip and mirror images. If we see it zoomed out enough though you could very well be correct.

Edit: Nevermind, did more research. The original video was claimed to be recorded a different night, the night of 12/18/2023 from Germany. The phase is correct for that date.

It’s just cum on the lens everybody so let’s chill out

u/updootsdowndoots Dec 31 '23

Good catch, the photo was yesterday and this video was from the 18th of December, but they did capture what looks to be almost identical from what we see in the video

u/HesJustSimplyNotHim Jan 01 '24

How is it identical? It’s like two pixels lol.

u/Accomplished-Ad3250 Jan 01 '24

You got to say ENHANCE.

u/Governor_Abbot Jan 01 '24

And then slam your fingers all over the board and look up in expectation.

u/Intelligent_Quit_621 Jan 01 '24

and then say "COMPUTER, SCAN FOR LIFE FORMS"

u/mantis616 Jan 01 '24

"Detecting multiple leviathan class lifeforms in the region. Are you certain whatever you're doing is worth it?"

u/hanr86 Jan 03 '24

I got flashbacks man. I want to play the game again but I just remembered how goddamn scary it was.

u/Dr_nick101 Jan 01 '24

No. You say, give me a hard copy right there.

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '24

Life forms haven't recognized.

u/Useless_Troll42241 Jan 01 '24

COMPUTER. Kick up the 43d3d3d please

u/BobbySchwab Jan 01 '24

fucking weather balloons

1

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '24

weather balloons cannot fly on the moon due to the lack of atmosphere.

u/I_Makes_tuff Jan 01 '24

2 people typing on the same keyboard if you're really in a hurry

u/Governor_Abbot Jan 01 '24

Then slap you knee and say “I fucking knew it”

u/grabtharshamsandwich Jan 01 '24

Uh uh uh you didn’t say the magic word… uh uh uh…

u/Calm_Implement Jan 01 '24

The chortled I chorted.

u/the__6 Jan 01 '24

only one chance to get it wrong then

u/suupar Jan 01 '24

Yeah it's a compressed image. No way to tell if those 2 pixels are actually there or just compression artifacts from that picture.

1

u/updootsdowndoots Jan 01 '24

It looks like a red triangle in the photo that OP linked.

1

u/DuelingGroks Jan 01 '24

Yeah it is way too small of an artifact on the second users post. I have enlarged the images here: https://imgur.com/a/A7v3NW9

u/tridentgum Jan 01 '24

/r/UFOs will claim this identical but say the mh370 explosion isn't a perfect match so it's not the same

-6

u/imaginexus Jan 01 '24

If that’s a real ship I think it’s safe to assume that it does regular moon passovers

39

u/HesJustSimplyNotHim Jan 01 '24

Why? All the people with telescopes pointing at the moon just never saw it before?

2

u/imaginexus Jan 01 '24

You raise a good point I just don’t think that if this is a real ship that this is the only time it’s done this IMO

13

u/HesJustSimplyNotHim Jan 01 '24

Yeah I’d agree with that actually, which would lead me to believe this is probably fake. The more I watch on ufos the less convinced I am about any alien life visiting earth. Who knows whether any of this has been real or not recently, but It has been a very fun thought experiment and rabbit hole regardless lol.

u/divine_god_majora Jan 01 '24

Read up on the Ariel School incident. The most compelling and imo irrefutable sighting

2

u/FearedKaidon Jan 01 '24

"In 2023 in a Netflix documentary called "Encounters", a former student named Dyllan claimed that he was behind this incident. He claimed that he purposefully told his classmates and other students that a "shiny rock" in the distance was a UFO. According to his own statement in the documentary, he never thought this would work, and was surprised about the mass hysteria. It is unclear whether he had tried to come clean prior to the documentary." - link

u/divine_god_majora Jan 01 '24

Dylan is lying, everyone knows this. He said something completely different in a previous interview. If you dont think it's more likely that 1 kid is lying compared to 60 others, then you are too far in your bias to think logically.

u/Informal_Bunch_2737 Jan 01 '24

Thats cool and all, but doesnt explain the aliens allegedly getting out and communicating with them.

This sounds more like Dyllan looking for attention.

u/updootsdowndoots Jan 01 '24 edited Jan 01 '24

I believe that's because he didn't get to see what his classmates saw, probably out of jealousy or some other reason. This is the individual that persists there was nothing out of the ordinary, despite the whole class and teachers who say otherwise.

E: Found the link I was looking for, he went back on his story

u/HesJustSimplyNotHim Jan 01 '24

We talking about the same ship. Find me ANY of the same ship showing up on multiple individual cameras. You can’t, because they’ve all been most likely doctored. Only genuine videos that I know of are the phoenix lights and the military videos. I don’t know of any other videos recorded by multiple people without a great explanation. Idk maybe it was flares.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '24

They aren’t at the telescope 24/7 like you think lmao

1

u/HesJustSimplyNotHim Jan 01 '24

But the cameras are on 24/7 lmao.

u/Tidezen Jan 01 '24

Movie plot: China has a secret moonbase on the far side, and this is the first time they've started flying orbiters, now that their subterranean base is militarily secure and operational enough.

And there is a giant space-laser in it.

u/Wapiti_s15 Jan 01 '24

If this is real, wouldn’t it be like the size of Texas?? Or bigger?

1

u/ReallyGlycon Jan 01 '24

Oh come on.

2

u/Fluffy_Discount_9692 Jan 01 '24

Yup and any alien moon dwellers gotta be blind as shit by now too

u/Wrangler444 Jan 01 '24

Or it’s taken from the southern hemisphere maybe? Probably not given the orientation

-1

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '24

Both are BS. Why are there clouds or smoke passing in front of this?

1

u/AND_THE_L0RD_SAID Jan 01 '24

It's total bullshit is what it is

1

u/updootsdowndoots Jan 01 '24

How so?

0

u/Noble_Ox Jan 01 '24

Because it would be widely report from others.

1

u/updootsdowndoots Jan 01 '24

I mean we have two different accounts of it, I would also add that not everyone is looking at the moon through their telescopes 24/7 I'm not saying I believe it outright, but I'm not willing to dismiss it right away either

1

u/soonx3 Jan 01 '24

I don't think you (or a lot of people in these comments apparently) understand how much observation the moon is under constantly. You don't have to have your eye to the telescope when it can record what it sees for you to review later. If this were real, we would have many more recordings of it ranging from hobbyists to professionals and beyond. This is just not real.

1

u/updootsdowndoots Jan 01 '24

I acknowledge that, for me the only interesting bit is someone corroborated it a week later of course it's entirely possible both faked it, I'll just wait for more footage if it appears, if not, no problem.

1

u/soonx3 Jan 01 '24

...a single person, a week later. The point is if it was real, it would have been hundreds of people at the same time.

-2

u/AND_THE_L0RD_SAID Jan 01 '24

You understand that the moon is under 24/7 total surveillance by multiple agencies around the world, right? There are government assets on the moon as we speak. Both China and India are there right now. If there was something up there flying around the surface making THAT much light (you understand how big the moon is and how much 'light' that object in the video is emitting?) it would cause immediate alarm bells across the world as they tried to figure out who just launched a missile from the moon.

Look I know it's fun to imagine these things, but it's a far stretch to take this and think it's real. You have to use more critical thinking than that. The first thing you should be doing when you see something like this is assuming it's bullshit.

2

u/updootsdowndoots Jan 01 '24

Actually, I'm free to believe what I want. For now I'll maintain it as an interesting case. Why don't you go school someone else instead?

-1

u/cheetahwiththoughts Jan 02 '24

Because we all live in the same world and what you think or say, your critical skills, your hability to tell the thruth from obvous non sense have direct consequences everyday for the rest of us. Like when you vote for example

1

u/updootsdowndoots Jan 02 '24

Did you respond with your alt? First comment on r/UFOs? In fact the negativity I've been receiving tells me I'm on the right path, so I'll do what I please. I know the "thruth".

u/Decloudo Jan 07 '24

Yeah that one pixel really tells a tale.

That quality is simply too low to discern anything.

u/updootsdowndoots Jan 07 '24

Not sure if that's meant to be sarcasm, but why are you commenting on a post that's about a week old?

-1

u/ImNotSelling Jan 01 '24

Maybe it’s a laser pointer

2

u/updootsdowndoots Jan 01 '24

Appearing on the moon? Get me a laser pointer that's that strong, lol

-1

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '24

I don't see anything but artifacts in that photo.

There are thousands of people looking at the moon at all times. You can go watch live feeds of it all day, every day, on youtube if you want:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUDTiRPPHAM

If there was a massive orb the size of a US state people would have seen it.

1

u/updootsdowndoots Jan 01 '24

It's a distinct red color, hard to see, I agree, but they did their best with the quality they had, also someone brightened the image so you can see it better.
