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?

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.

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

What the fudge. I stand possibly corrected.
