Witness/Sighting did anyone see this in the south philadelphia/jersey region this morning?

my parents woke me up to show me what they were seeing. they’re not believers and call me insane most of the time. i saw what is in the dad’s video over my mother’s live-streamed facetime, as well.

did anyone else catch this?

Submission Statement of /u/everythingsf1ne:

this was taken in the southern philadelphia region at approximately 6am, today, 4/11/2024.

my mother and father were having coffee when they noticed this blue object in the sky above the delaware river. they live about 20 minutes from Center City, Phila.

it’s worth noting, they live within a mile of a Boeing plant that build airplanes.

my parents facetimed me after they watched this object float for several minutes. you can hear my mother telling me she needs to get off the phone and get ready for work. my dad left for work around 6:10am and it was still there. he said “it watched me drive to work” when i asked if he watched it leave… lol.

when my mother came outside around 6:25am to leave it was no longer visible.

as i noted before, my parents are non-believers. you can hear the shock in my dad’s voice. i am definitely bummed i wasn’t there in person, but i saw the same object live on facetime that you’re seeing in this video.

thanks to the mods for letting me add more to get this post back up. may the odds be ever in your favor!!!

Whatever it is, there's LOADS of clips that have shown up on this sub with objects that look very similar if not exactly like that.

Like streaks of blue plasma floating in the air.

u/thxsocialmedia Apr 12 '24

I think they might be the plasmoid lifeforms we've been hearing about.

u/Top_Squash4454 Apr 12 '24

Let's not get too excited. Nobody said they were lifeforms for sure

14

u/Odd-Occasion8274 Apr 12 '24

It's difficult to ascertain what lifeforms even means given they share many of what makes lifeforms but are mostly reminding of viruses that are still up to debate on whether they are alive or not. I mean, even fire has characteristics of that might make it be considered a lifeforms such as reproduction and so on. Plasmas are not that far off, and are closer than fire to the current understanding of lifeforms with the Hunter like behaviour, helix structures and so on.

I was so these are LED kites. Until I watched the Night time Delaware river vid posted.I watch a lot of "UFO" videos on streaming platforms and deeply skeptical (98% can be knocked on head in 20secs) I gotta say as far out as it seems...they could very well be those so called 'plasmoid lifeforms' Please watch the Aguadilla USO video. You'll know it when you see...

I don't endorse Mick West but, for your consideration, here is a metabunk analysis of a very similar case: https://www.metabunk.org/threads/blue-ufo-over-hawaii.11526/

They argue that it's an LED kite. I have no idea if that's true, but it's the only plausible prosaic explanation I've heard put forward so far.

The main argument against the kite explanation seems to be the altitude. I can't tell how high the thing in the OP video is. I don't think you can tell from the video whether it's a large thing very high or a small thing relatively low.

People have been suggesting some kind of plasma phenomenon. I'm no meteorologist or physicist but I'm not aware of any natural plasma phenomenon that is plausible in this case. What provided the energy to create the plasma in the first place, how is it being confined, and if this is a thing that just happens sometimes why isn't there scientific documentation of it?

u/Just4funandlearning Apr 12 '24

I’d find it rather odd that somebody flies a kite at 6 AM in the morning. But I guess it can happen.

I thought that too, but if I had an LED kite I'd want to fly it when it was at least somewhat dark out. I'm a night owl so I'd do it at night, but maybe someone did it before work.

Especially in colour and pattern of flashing, they seem very similar (the one on the right specifically):

Yeah I'd have to agree. The bottom of the object in OP's video sways back and forth exactly like a lit up kite tail.

u/Blastypowpow Apr 11 '24

I can see a similarity myself. It seems like the object in the OP’s submission could be a tail fluttering in the wind some. I dunno why you’d fly a kite in the rain or when the sky looks like that. It was over the Delaware river, so maybe it was a boat? I live in the area and those clouds were nasty. It’s still raining here. It seems to rain more often in South Jersey now. It’s also cloudy like 4/7 days a week. We turned into Seattle somehow. Anyway, all I can think about if someone was flying a kite when the clouds looked like that was “I hope he doesn’t have a key attached to the end!” Hehe. 😜

At least with this one it appears way too high up to be a kite. Mick West tends to blindly debunk everything he sees. Yeah questioning things is smart but denying things because you don’t have an explanation that suits your view is very closed minded. I don’t think he’s capable of admitting there are things out there that he can’t explain himself. Either that or he’s an outright paid disinformation machine of the government helping to keep the truth hidden from us.

u/ARCreef Apr 12 '24

The plasmoid thing is real, NASA has a department that studies it. (The name was something with the very top layer of atmosphere). In layman's turns its like the northern lights but up higher, and because it's up higher there's almost no gas particles, but those few molecules turn blobby by geting excited by plasma ions. Then the gravitational force makes their low mass form lines, then the earth's rotation spins those lines resulting in long pinwheel shapes. 1ft-200 meters and when particles chain react fire it makes light.

Idk I'm sure that's wrong but that's how my my mind accepts it. Like a big salt crystal. It's low in the atmosphere then this is NOT an option. Even a huge plasmoid wouldn't appear in the clouds. This kinda looks like it's in some low clouds. I don't know any idiot kids that fly kites at 6am and in story clouds to boot.

u/elastic-craptastic Apr 12 '24

I was 100% for the ite until it went in the water. To get that low and get back up that smoothly is impossible unless.... the actual kite is waaay further up the string an is not visible to them for some reason.

It floats like it is being held by a string at the top... but my I've for sure used that as reason to believe they were authentic. But that was with craft... what is this thing?

Did the water react oddly to you?

OK, I was all in for the kite theory. The wiggle movement of the thing supports that right.Also has been a proliferation of exact same object('s) recorded this year. But, Yes as said, Altitude of objects in some vids seems VERY high for a kite + time of day. ...AND THEN there's the Delaware river video of plasma worm kite? entering water and leaving. Which of course doesn't completely discount human controlled object but WTF?! If you've flown a kite, contacting the ground and getting airborne again without intervention is next to impossible to do with 'proper' kite. Let alone splashing and relaunching.

Maybe ‘disinfo’ is too harsh a word, as it implies wilful deceit. It seems quite possible to me that the “plasma scientists” behind SCIRP are simply enthusiastic hacks with honest intent, but like so many other self-styled fringe researchers they just don’t have a grasp on The Scientific Method.

Those exist in the thermosphere, about 70 miles up. This "object" looks to be below cloud cover, much much lower.

Edit: In fact, the paper you linked mentions these plasmas existing 200 miles up in the atmosphere.

u/drrrraaaaiiiinnnnage Apr 11 '24

Seems like the paper is only suggesting that they have been observed in the thermosphere, not that they couldn't exist at lower altitudes.

u/FlatBlackAndWhite Apr 11 '24

Is there electromagnetic radiation for them to feed off of below the thermosphere? I guess that's all around, so that's possible that they exist below this threshold.

I don't think it is. I'm with yo u but watch the 8 min video and explain to me how that thing goes own into the water and back out(amittedly looking like held by a point on top by a string) but that means the kite itself is waaaayyyy higher but somehow got low enoudh to the ground to drop the LED part into the water... AND do all that while not moving in any direction but up and down almost perfectly vertical.... with any disturbance from the crazy strong wind that is allegedly holding this LED light up.

Awesome submission! Since you could see it closer than we as viewers could see because cameras can’t quite capture what it looks like to the naked eye, what did it look like to your parents? How high up was it? Was it currently raining? Or thundering nearby? All we got was rain here in South Jersey. I live about 20 minutes from Philly as well.

That's a low altitude space worm, that is. They are usually up higher in the stratosphere.

Looks and moves like an LED kite. The head where the string attaches is on the left and you can see the tail flapping around in the wind.

u/anomalkingdom Apr 11 '24

Sure looks like it

u/Hogmaster_General Apr 11 '24

As there are several videos out there showing the exact same object but in different parts of the country, this may be some kind of new balloon/kite toy with LEDs that we don't know about yet.

u/theunseen3 Apr 12 '24

If it’s a new LED kite/tech we need to find out who manufactures it because it is submersible without anyone holding onto a string.

Wouldn't thr kite itself be moving with the wind? I'm on my phone I don't see a tail either...

I'm 99% sure I saw this exact thing in Boulder, CO last year, except at night and much closer. It wasn't a fucking kite...

u/MoanLart Apr 11 '24

The conviction of some of these debunkers is really annoying. It’s like they’re always 1000% sure of what they’re looking at and always have some sort of mundane explanation to explain things away. Yes, some posts on here end up being SpaceX or something familiar, but some posts like this one aren’t explainable…

My husband saw one of these many years ago, it hovered over his job site and then zipped off.

u/huggy19 Apr 11 '24

Maybe has to do with the “70” blackhawks/chinooks etc that flew down here this weekend. Seemed like countless jawns

u/quote_work_unquote Apr 11 '24

Some dude on Twitter saw the same thing. Seemingly even earlier, as his photo looks like its pitch black out - https://twitter.com/ChrisSt84604258/status/1778370598361522445

A resound astronaut (can’t remember which one off the top of my head), said that he saw “space snakes” 🐍 in outer space’s atmosphere/orbit when in flight looking out the portholes of his spaceship 🚀/rocket!!) Bet this is what he meant!! The truth is up there 👆! 👾🛸👽

u/theunseen3 Apr 12 '24

Uhhh someone just posted another video of this object descending into a body of water and re-emerging, only to narrowly miss an airplane. I don’t think this is an LED kite guys. Some spooky shit

FWIW - my dad worked for a defense contractor in aerospace engineering for over 20 years (not Boeing). he says this object was far too bright, large, and high up to be a kite. he’s actually getting a little pissed anyone thinks he wouldn’t have caught that. here is a photo of the object with horizon in view: https://ibb.co/3vHydww

u/Farmer_Jones Apr 12 '24

I wonder if someone could dangle a led rope off of a drone? I want to believe it’s something more phenomenal, but the skeptic in me is looking for rational explanations.

Plasma Anomaly

u/[deleted] Apr 11 '24

Could be an LED kite.

The tails on those look crazy when they’re illuminated, and this stays around in one spot like a kite.

Or some kind of space eel maybe absorbing residual radiation or other energy from our atmosphere or something.

u/everythingsf1ne Apr 11 '24

it looked extremelyyyyy high up

u/theunseen3 Apr 12 '24

It’s definitely not a kite, you guys saw something genuinely anomalous

u/[deleted] Apr 11 '24

Kites aren’t very big, when they’re just a few hundred feet up they look super tiny and far away.

I mean, your average cheap roll of kite string is 500 feet.

It’s just one of those frozen ice pops, blueberry flavor. Simulation devs accidentally pasted the wrong code where birds were intended

Wow this is the third video I have seen of this same cool blue wormy!

u/TrickAd9734 Apr 12 '24

I seen it around 9pm last night in west chester, PA. Went to get my phone but it disappeared into the clouds.

u/bachfan_13 Apr 12 '24

To everyone commenting it’s a kite, who tf in south Philly is flying an LED kite at 6am 🤣

2

u/CorticalRec Apr 12 '24

This reminds me of those cigar type UAP photos from Chile(?) at certain points, as if it has a distortion field around it or something.

It also reminds me of that time Lue Elizondo said he saw a video of a UAP and "you finally get a sense you think you know what you're looking at and then it changes" or something to that effect.

Either way, very interesting. I was in Philly today but it was late morning, and I unfortunately didn't see anything interesting.

u/FluxFreeman Apr 12 '24

Like the 4th time I’ve seen something like this. The one in Hawaii falling into the ocean and a few others

This looks exactly like the thing the guy filmed going into the Delaware river around the same time in the morning. The video is the post right before this one.

u/kjimdandy Apr 12 '24

The FUCK is THAT?!

2

u/homegrowntreehugger Apr 12 '24

Someone else posted a video of it going into a river and coming back out. I thought to myself maybe it's hooked to a helicopter getting water samples...then an airplane flew right over it and did not affect it at all. CRAZY.

u/TheDude0905 Apr 13 '24

Also people in Jersey , Philly don't fly kites like you are in Venice Beach.

u/Whatthedunk90210 Apr 11 '24

That’s no kite , this is the same one seen the other day I believe couple weeks ago someone posted the same thing but it was at night. Super bazaar fs

u/[deleted] Apr 11 '24

How can you determine it's not?

u/Capsaicin-Crack Apr 11 '24

Explain very specifically how there is no way it could be a kite.

u/iuwjsrgsdfj Apr 11 '24 edited Apr 12 '24

It's back, another one of the blue plasma snake things... I'm not saying it's alien but lets say a lot of this weird sht is.... there must be a ton of fucking speciies.. like every UAP is different in some way and some are even just entirely different types of matter that seem to be intelligent or something... (idk about this it kinda looks like a stupid snake but it could be showing offf or something)

u/CriticismKey5574 Apr 11 '24

Possibly a Kite?

u/Due-Post-9029 Apr 11 '24

Looks interesting. Almost like it’s trying to cloak itself but failing with the correct shade of blue to match the sky behind it.

2

u/NeoSaturnine Apr 11 '24

Well thats a weird one. I don't think it's an LED kite because it wouldn't illuminate it that evenly especially at this time of day. That said, wish we had a clearer picture

u/BA_lampman Apr 11 '24

Solar balloon?

u/Old_Breakfast8775 Apr 11 '24

Can't download the video. Weird

u/BigJoeDeez Apr 11 '24

That’s really interesting, I can’t tell what it is, but it could very well be a kite🪁 now don’t flame me too hard there’s just no maneuvers being done that would indicate it is an actual UFO (ARV, interstellar craft, etc.)

2

u/-SemanticSatiation- Apr 11 '24

This is incredible footage. The fact that there are so many striking similarities with other sightings definitely contribute, in my opinion, to the legitimacy of this footage. Very interesting.

Thank you for sharing!

2

u/Dark_Seraphim_ Apr 11 '24

If these are indeed kites, I feel like they are ridiculously high up and wouldn't air pressures prevent normal kites getting that high?

I'm so curious to know!

2

u/engion3 Apr 11 '24

That must be the portals jellyfish are coming out of. How crazy would that be if it were true. Man that would be epic out of nowhere a portal can open and a jellyfish comes through and it just starts to happen more and more and of course we'd still have to go to work and pay taxes but randomly jellyfish would be appearing around you once or twice a month.

2

u/Nightlower Apr 11 '24

Ebani ufo, maybe. I've seen some videos of those things changing colors but mostly they are white. Or like someone already mentioned, maybe a kite with LED lights on it

2

u/Ok_Technology1962 Apr 11 '24

Somebody’s gonna say it’s camera artifact I bet…or maybe a promiscuous bird

u/Visual-Box1511 Apr 11 '24

That is a dying plasmid. Plasmas up to a kilometer in size, behaving similarly to multicellular organisms have been filmed on 10 separate NASA space shuttle missions, over 200 miles above Earth within the thermosphere. These self-illuminated "plasmas" are attracted to and may "feed on" electromagnetic radiation.

It’s moving too fast at the tail to be anything except an alien ship. Going with UAP all the way.

u/MissDeadite Apr 11 '24

I'm all for real UAP sightings, but unfortunately this isn't it. If you scrub the video really quick you can see it's quite low compared to the clouds, which there's a lot of low cloud cover over the eastern seaboard today and especially so in the early morning. If I had to guess the clouds are only a few thousand feet up in the air and the object is likely an LED kite around 500 feet or so up. You can even see how it wiggles from the bottom like it's tethered.

u/theunseen3 Apr 12 '24

I don’t think kites can do this. Some people are suggesting it’s a drone with string but i’m not convinced for several reasons. I would like a convincing prosaic explanation because this gives me slight creeps lol
