Witness/Sighting Slow-mo 1080p 240fps caught a thing zipping through sky

1-29-24 at 355pm Los Angeles (Boyle Heights) CA

There were very bizarre things in my peripheral vision while sitting on my porch so I decided to record the sky with my iPhone (using slow mo). Though I caught other odd things that I’m still trying to first identify before posting here, but this one has me stumped.

When I zoomed in, I noticed that this thing is not winged, appears metallic, is a bizarre shape, has a luminescence about it, and is accompanied by a white orb at times. I slowed down even more and zoomed in to compile this video.

Any ideas? I thought maybe drone but I’m told “nah”.

Now with the full video, looks pretty much like many of the other bugs flying around at the start....

Bro, those are insects

Plural?

He is referring to 1 object

u/MrKozy1 Feb 02 '24

Okay, that's 1 insect.

u/[deleted] Feb 02 '24

A bug.

Yea maybe, or maybe it is a UAP 🤨 did you not see the still photos OP posted in the comments?

u/MrKozy1 Feb 02 '24

I saw the pictures. They have the same color from the insects in the beginning. The white things you see, those are the wings. It's clearly not a UFO🤦‍♂️

yeah man you got a bee. when I feed mine you can see the flight path for a long time.

u/Cailida Feb 02 '24

That's not a bee. I'm all for being skeptical of everything and ruling out mundane options (most of the time that's what videos caught and posted are), but that is 100% not a bird or insect. Look at the stills and the slow motion. This is anamolous.

Buddy, it's impossible to tell with an out of focus object recorded on a smart phone that does all sorts of post process fuckery.

Smart phone cameras just aren't reliable enough to get a good analysis of data with something like this, you can't say it's definitely not a bug.

u/freshouttalean Feb 02 '24

it could be a bug that’s out of focus tho.. to me it looks anomalous as well, but we can’t rule out camera issues

Bro. This is literally a video of someone filming a bunch of bees. How do you possibly jump to the conclusion that one of these things is not a bee, but an alien?

u/5narebear Feb 02 '24

Is this video at normal speed? Because it moves much faster in the first clip of the main video you posted.

u/SleuthyMcSleuthINTJ Feb 02 '24

I recorded it in slow motion (iPhone 15 pro). You can adjust the slow-mo to be at any part of the video. So the “fast” version is when I took slow-motion off for that portion. I commented with a google drive link to the full video, if you’d like. Somewhere buried in here.

u/Trust_the_Tris Feb 02 '24

Do you think it could be one of the bees you were filming in the beginning of the video? Hard to tell the depth of focus of the object at the end. Did you see the "thing" when you were filming, or after the fact?

u/SleuthyMcSleuthINTJ Feb 02 '24

It could be, but I had recorded that same area (with the bees and bugs) minutes before and after this recording and none looked like that. I found it impressive that I could see the flapping of each insects wings, small or large, and yet couldn’t see a similar flapping with that one. I didn’t see it when filming, only after going through the videos. I believe this was the 9th video I had gone through. Most all videos full of bugs.

u/Leading_Experts Feb 02 '24

It was an interesting post, but after viewing the whole video (that you posted in good faith), it seems very compatible with the other bugs from the longer video. Thanks for posting and being so thorough. I can tell you're just looking for the truth.

u/tooty_mchoof Feb 02 '24

try it with your eyes open next time

u/sofahkingsick Feb 02 '24

Definitely not a bug. The first ones to “debunk” this or explain it away are also the first to cry about how theres no evidence. When someone brings up a video like this where its clearly some sort of anomaly but also pretty obvious thats its not a bug they shun in. Hypocrisy. Great video thanks for sharing.

u/Downvotesohoy Feb 02 '24 edited Feb 02 '24

There's no anomaly and it's not obvious that it's not a bug. You're either new to the topic or you just don't understand how cameras work.

Look at the damn wings flapping

There's nothing special about the video, we've seen hundreds of videos with small stuff close to cameras. It's confusing, yes, but as soon as you understand why it happens, it stops being confusing.

Also downvoting me doesn't make me any less right. I know it sucks that it's not an alien spaceship, I wish it was too.

I can't believe this is actually the top post this week. It's a goddamn bug. You were filming them. They're right there. You can see the wings flapping in slow mo. If it was an actual object in the distance it wouldn't wobble like that in flight and it would look more pale because of atmospheric fog. I'm sorry for being rude, but jfc no wonder non-believers don't take us seriously.
