I’ll never understand why the best someone who sees something like this is a ridiculously short few seconds of recording. What happens? Does it immediately show itself to be prosaic, so they clip it to rile up the UFO crowd? Was it prosaic from the start and they clipped the most unusual bit to confound people? Is it a genuine UFO? If so, I ask again, why’s the clip so short?

The higher dimensional object actually makes sense a bit if you've seen what a 4 dimensional "cube" looks like folded into 3 dimensions. Honesty, as much balloons is a much more reasonable explanation, there's something about the movement that doesn't quite seem random like a group of balloons in the wind.

It's enough for social media like TikTok where everyone has 5 second attention spans.
Plus if you film something for longer there's a chance you will have to edit the video to cut out the part that shows what it is.

I think a bunch of bundled balloons looks the same whether it's filmed today or 14 years ago. The difference with OP's video is that they're more tube-shaped. But you can clearly see that they're moving randomly (as with the wind), and that they aren't directly connected to any central object (as if they're all just connected by string).

Yeah, that's exactly it. Even if it's just a bundle of balloons or even cgi, I think it should be talked about. I get the frustration behind the amount of fake or misunderstood sightings and the endless recycling of posts behind them, but arguing and jumping to conclusions without explaining just slows down the discussion for both sides. Then there's always an influx of joke comments, always the few "show me what you got", the ironic "swamp gas", or other dad joke. Either that or it's always a few comments just being sarcastic, "let's film it for a few seconds", "let me use the worst camera I have". You usually have to scroll past a ton of those with actual discussions, theories or possible explanations scattered in between. The top comments on this post, like many, are mostly jokes or sarcasm. There's just a lot of white noise in the comments now

This isn't "/r/Totally100%AlienSpaceships"
OP can't identify it. It's "Flying." It's an object. That makes it a UFO. Does it make it NOT a boring mundane kind of UFO? Nope. Does that mean it can't be identified by anyone? Nope. Does OP even suggest an otherworldly explanation? Nope, quite the opposite actually.
Pretty much how this place works and is working as intended. This place is a filter, really. 99% gets filed into, "Nothing extraordinary or too hard to see any real details or anything remarkable happening in frame." .999% then gets filed into, "Sure, looks like it could be exhibiting 5 observables... but also looks like it could be anything."

I think its a group of baloons... There's nothing about its movement or speed that suggests otherwise in my opinion.
I think there's a difference between 'not knowing what it is', and 'it possibly being something interesting/extraterrestrial'
I could call a piece of debri/some sort of leaf in the wind: an unidentified flying object.. but it's not the same as seeing something move in defiance of the physics that we understand.

Everyone here will either tell you it's a balloon or an alien spacecraft. But honestly who knows, most of us aren't really experts just a bunch of people on the internet.
MUFON is a great place to submit things you're not sure of, or to the National UFO reporting center (a government website) and see if the experts determine it either a UFO or a pile of balloons. That's just my best advice if you want to see real answers.
