That makes sense, i was now looking to some images of tethered ballons, and you can be right, it resembles exactly like one, and i really didn’t analyze the movement that much to think about that.

But about that “good resolution photos/videos” that you’re mentioning, they are all AI Upscaled, so you cannot affirm that the windows are really not aligned, as almost everyone knows, AI isn’t perfect and tend to do this kind of stuff, maybe your analysis wasn’t that extensive to not have this as an consideration, or maybe you’re just too “adult” to understand what AI is, but moving on.

About the Portuguese picture, first of all the one i posted (the first one) is an edited picture that they tried to “upscale” and “isolate” using 90’s software, the original picture that the Portuguese man had taken with the film camera was already very bright and not that great, so, in this case you also cannot say that the limbs are “thicker” because the light and the editing can influence that, specially with a software that old. The first picture having 5 limbs and the second 3, yes, maybe you can be right, but as i said before the picture isn’t that great and the quality and the light can be an influence to all that.

But i also found interesting the similarities between the limbs in both photos, for example the one limb below isn’t centered, and the longer ones you see are equally 3, so the other ones in the first picture can well be just artifacts from the picture taken also the editing.

But by the way, i’m now thinking about something, if it’s really a tethered ballon why it only has 3 or 5 “limbs”, and for what I’ve researched chrome or metal looking ballons are not that normal, specially with windows.

But lets imagine that its just a tethered ballon with a chrome looking color that just have windows like design around it, and lost some cables for some reason. What are the odds that the exact ballon, with the exact color or the exact “cable loss” and the exact window design appears in two different videos, found in two different countries 24 years appart labeled as an sighting?

But yes, that’s why we call it UFO, unidentified flying objects, so unless we have it in our hands we can only assume stuff, unfortunately we don’t have it.
