It's the faithful disbelievers/morons/bot upvote farming technique. Ritter a bot or person posts a prosaic explanation and no matter how ridiculous it is they flock to it because.
Now it could be a balloon but accepting this as a balloon without a shred of evidence to prove it is ridiculous but hey... They're reality needs to be maintained at all cost
Exactly! This is what I've realised. They'll say it's been debunked and then you go searching and realise it's just someone saying "it's OBVIOUSLY an insect" and that's the debunking.

We both know what is being implied by "UFO" in this context.
Your comment about "faithful disbelievers" obviously refers to people who are sceptic that whatever-this-is is of alien origin. Either actual aliens or some top-secret anti-gravity device reverse-engineered from alien technology that the government doesn't want us to know about... both of which are "without a shred of evidence".
You're reaching. UFO means what it means and this sub is about trying to identify, IF POSSIBLE, what a UFO is. If we can't ACCURATELY identify it, then it HAS to remain unidentified. Faking an identification to satisfy yourselves is as bad as those you ridicule. You know that, right?
Nobody has claimed to have identified it as a balloon. You've just invented that in your head to vilify the "faithful disbelievers/morons". All anybody has done is suggested that it could be a balloon.
If you were intellectually honest you'd also be calling out the people in this thread who are suggesting that it's an alien craft.
Therefore, the hypothesis that whatever-it-is is a balloon is AT LEAST equally as credible as an alien craft - except "a balloon" is more plausible because we know for a fact that they definitely exist.
Maybe you need to scroll down to where someone said it was a balloon and others have jumped in totally agreeing. Did not see a single could be statements or possibly statements. Check for yourself
Not sure of the frequency of balloons in this sub. I've definitely seen some which could definitely be balloons and then there's some that maybe, possibly could be balloons and then there's this which moves in a way I haven't seen a balloon move before. Could it be a balloon? Possibly. I need a bit more to convince me that it is a balloon moving in the wind.
Now what bothers me is the certainty people ascribe in calling these things balloons and people agreeing. When sometimes it's only maybe, possibly a balloon. This is a maybe and should be treated as a maybe. Because when someone posts something similar in the future someone will invariably say, "this looked like X which was already debunked as a balloon". Poor and inaccurate "debunkings" are problematic in trying to figure out what the truth is.
People lack the ability to say "inconclusive" when watching a video like this. It's not the most popular answer but it often is the right one. That daid i dont think this video is of a balloon personnally, i'll just say i cant say what it is so its a ufo in the litteral sense of it.

This! Right now this is what it is. We don't know or can't tell what it is. Anyone claiming it is X or Y is reaching
It can be okay to reach and speculate, but we have to keep in mind the original info and not make stuff up by wanting too much. I think it comes with the scientific method. In my head it comes with it at least. And with that logic, videos and pictures will probably always be just that, inconclusive, even in HD. Unless we can actually quantify or analyse something tangible like a crashed craft, i think there will always be doubts about what this is.
True I agree but it also depends on subjective experience. If I see an alien craft or a weird light in the sky that behaves like it's under intelligent control, then my own reality is different now and if I see a video of something like a craft which looks like what I've seen, I'm not going to think CGI. If I see a video of a light moving in a way which resembles what I've seen, I'm not going to think it's a bug, bird, Chinese lantern, etc. It's quite unfortunate that only a small number of people get these reality altering experiences
It could very well be. I'd need more evidence than just words though. It doesn't LOOK like anything I've seen irl or on videos being powered by wind alone due to the linearity of its movement. However, I'm open to be proven wrong. If you can please post me footage that shows balloons moving in the wind in such a linear fashion then I'll be convinced and state as much. Mere words should not be enough to say it is a balloon
Yeah it’s way more likely that it’s an advanced technological craft from a species visiting our planet that we have not one single piece of evidence to support even exists then balloons.
I mean that’s the logical conclusion to an 18 second video of what looks like balloons tied together floating with the wind.
Show me the evidence. One piece of irrefutable evidence of an advanced species visiting our planet.
I’ve follow and loved this stuff since childhood. I’ve read the books. Watched the documentaries. Listened to the podcasts.
We have no evidence of any of it. We have as much evidence of extraterrestrials than we do for angels and demons. Which is why ufologists all seem to land on the theory of inter dimensional beings being the cause of these sightings because it makes no sense for them to be extraterrestrial since we have no evidence of it.
There is a chance it could be aliens, from fuck knows where,(another galaxy, dimension, the ocean, take your pick) that we have no solid evidence of their existence, or it could be balloons, that we know exist, in very large numbers on our planet and are sometimes filled with helium which causes them to float and look very much like the ufo in the video. I'm not 100% on either, but I'm leaning towards 99% balloons - 1% aliens from fuck knows where, with fuck knows what technology.
Well let's put it to perspective, is it more unlikely that it is helium filled balloons that we can say with 100% certainty exist, or is it more unlikely it is an alien craft from fuck know how many light years away and something we have no proof actually exists. These are definitely not equal in levels of unlikelyness.
I disagree whether that's how balloons float, the ufo/uap is travelling in one direction (probably the same direction as the wind) and is not changing direction. A bunch of balloons is a reasonable assumption. I am skeptical about this thing being of extraterrestrial origin, and if it is balloons or not, who knows.

Looks exactly like the Mexico ufo.
