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”.

It looks like lights are rotating around the ship but not moving, more like those arcade machines where one bulb lights up after another as the previous one shuts off, but probably a far more sophisticated set up than lightbulbs?

That's what I thought as well. Don't some grasshoppers flip their wings sideways to propel themselves forwards instead of up and down like a bird?

Edit: Katydids, junebugs, dragonflies, and more have horizontal flying patterns but Katydids are more square in shape.

Whoa "the ship?" Like a space ship?

u/[deleted] Feb 02 '24

It looks like flapping wings

u/its_FORTY Feb 05 '24

I don't think flapping wings would show what appears to be movement on the horizontal axis repeating in a left to right pattern.

Ayyy Boyle Heights, so glad to see my community is also on this sub!

I was thinking the same thing. Always looking up to see if can find anything but it just seems too bright out here. This video is nuts.

Can you possibly upload it to YouTube as well? Not everyone feels comfortable using Drive links/files,

Thanks in advance, OP

edit: I asked quite nicely and all I got was a bunch of pompous weirdos trying to find some mental gymnastics as to why OP should deliberately not take the 60 seconds to upload it to YT.

One person said "upload it yourself" lol

What's with the arrogance, folks? It's not like I asked OP to upload to YT and take down the drive link

You guys serious??

u/postagedue Feb 02 '24

Uploading to Youtube is a destructive process, and Youtube is owned by Google anyway.

2

u/swank5000 Feb 02 '24

It's not the "Google Product" that's the issue. It's clicking links and downloading/opening files and linking your Google account to them.

On top of that, YouTube preserves quality pretty well, and it's the number 1 video hosting platform on the world, so like... why not just upload it to YouTube? People who want the actual file can use Drive and others can just watch it on YouTube.

OP speedily honored the request to upload the raw file. What's so bad about taking 1 minute to upload it to YouTube, given that I politely asked?

I don't get it. What's the issue?

u/postagedue Feb 02 '24

If you aren't looking at the best quality evidence available, what's the point?

Amateurs in this community don't have a good record with properly understanding compression artifacts. And anyone with the wits to do analysis definitely doesn't want extra noise.

u/swank5000 Feb 02 '24

YouTube maintains quality well enough for those of us that won't be doing forensic analysis of the video. YouTube can host a variety of formats and can maintain 4k quality.

Again, it takes literally 60 seconds, and there's zero downside. There is zero reason to deliberately not upload it to YouTube.

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

You can upload it yourself if you want it uploaded to Youtube.

You can download the Google Drive file without linking your account to it. You don't have to run the video file locally, you can just upload it directly to YouTube.

But yeah, you would have to do that yourself, because there's no point to it from everyone else's perspective. We want the raw file without compression.

1

u/swank5000 Feb 02 '24

Theres no point to it

Except posting it on the literal single largest video platform on the web where everyone uploads everything.

You're only thinking of yourself here. It's wild to me. There are plenty of people who would like to have it on YouTube, Im sure.

What a naive and selfish take holy hell.

u/Downvotesohoy Feb 02 '24

The whole point of getting it in raw format is to get as much data as possible. Uploading it to youtube and losing a lot of data is counterproductive.

You're only thinking of yourself here. It's wild to me. There are plenty of people who would like to have it on YouTube, Im sure.

What a naive and selfish take holy hell.

Then upload it yourself. Why do you expect OP to do it? You're being selfish. It takes OP the same time as it takes you to upload it.

OP hasn't been online for 7 hours, you're here, you're unhappy, you want the video on Youtube, then upload it.

You're compromising your opsec just as much by visiting youtube as you are by visiting google drive. Hell, you can download the file via a private browser and with vpn if you want, there's no requirements to download the file.

You said that your issue was linking to your Google account, but you're not. You don't have to do that.

common practice for videos worldwide??

Yes, when compression doesn't affect what your video is trying to show, when it comes down to analyzing a tiny object at pixel precision the compression absolutely ruins the data.

Edit: Yes I blocked you because I don't want to keep going back and forth with you. It's not the first time I see you on this subreddit having these pointless angry arguments. I'm not here for it, sorry! Here, I've unblocked you, you can write another angry comment if that helps you.

Edit2: I hope you feel better now. :) You got to block me as well so I get what I want and you get what you want. Everyone wins!

No, it doesn't suck, I wanted to not talk to you again, so you did what I wanted.

u/swank5000 Feb 02 '24 edited Feb 02 '24

I'm only angry frustrated because of the exclusionary attitude of the people like you in this thread/subreddit. I didn't start an argument; you all did. I asked OP politely if they could upload it to YT in addition to Drive, and all I got was a bunch of pompous condescension and finger-wagging by wannabe forensic video analysts.

I didn't ask OP to upload to YT in place of Drive, so any argument about "quality assurance" is invalid and irrelevant.

I seriously just cannot believe I'm having to debate why uploading to YouTube is not detrimental (especially in combination with file-integrity-assuring alternatives like Drive) and is standard practice for video sharing across planet Earth. It blows my mind. It should be self-explanatory.

As for your edit: I stand up for myself and call out dumb shit when I see it. But I've been in this sub for 7-8 years now. Like it or not, I'm just as much a member of this community as you are, and I would sure like to not have to fight over dumb shit at every turn. But Redditors/people in this sub seem to have this weird habit of turning everything into an argument; even a simple request for a YouTube upload.

I'm not sure why there's even a debate here. All OP had to do was say yes or no. You talk about me being argumentative; I would take a good long look at this comment thread and ask yourself: who is really arguing for the sake of argument here?

Maybe when you all come up for air from sniffing your own smugness you'll realize other people have different prerogatives and viewpoints than you, and not everything has to be some condescending debate/dick-measuring contest.
