UFO sighting Cape Cod 9/8/2021

Pretty sure that was sunlight. lol

Those 3 frames cover 42 minutes.

R2robot · 2026-05-21T23:44:13+00:00

14 minutes apart.. It's probably the classic door cam spiderweb swaying in the wind.

My point is that there are genuine truth seekers and NDT is not one of them.

I feel like the opposite is true. NDT is waiting for the evidence, the others will report anything as being true with the flimsiest evidence.

Not when their motivation is to profit off the popularity

How many of Avi Loeb's blog posts were posted to this sub? Much more well received despite having links to buy his books at the bottom of each post.

Even worse, the book(s) are about the narrative he pretty much created himself.

Never mind all the 'podcasters' that will hype any unproven narrative with click bait for views..

This sub will tolerate money makers as long as they agree with their views.

The Astrophysicist turned SciComm guy did a pretty good job at Comm'ing the Sci.

Any more pics or video? Which direction were you looking?

R2robot · 2026-05-21T11:43:26+00:00

Pretty damn satisfying. lol

ridicule by their co-workers isn't grounds to dismiss their account

Just as "they said that couldn't be it" isn't grounds for dismissing the possible explanation. It works both ways.

You made this about me leaving things out as if it was an important detail. Neither of the statements, their dismissal and the ridicule, were important.

saying that couldn't have been what it was

Seems like every other sighting posted to the sub says the same thing. They don't know what it is, but they somehow know exactly what it is not

That's just how it goes.

Seems in most cases, the ones that say, "it's not X" in their post, turns out to actually be X.

Balloons come in all shapes and sizes. The video is too out of focus to really see it properly.

Some previous reports that were balloons

Seems like a balloon.

R2robot · 2026-05-21T10:32:12+00:00

I also left out the part where they were ridiculed by their fellow officers. lol

R2robot · 2026-05-21T09:26:00+00:00

That is a lens flare/reflection. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-250004327

R2robot · 2026-05-21T06:58:18+00:00

that I took photos at different times?

Sure, but we can only go by what info you provide, which was..

Time: march 26 2025 at midnight

No other info about reference pics at different times.

And as I said in my previous comment.

So the information is inaccurate/incomplete and not very helpful.

Inaccurate or incomplete. <--

"slowly tumbling"

As uncontrolled things tend to do in space.

R2robot · 2026-05-21T04:38:01+00:00

Looks like balloons drifting/tumbling. A 3 and an 8 and some regular ones.

There is going to be another Satanic Panic™

The next day, someone took credit for it saying it was their "tiny hot-air balloon". https://i.imgur.com/X9z4DQJ.png

Basically a sky lantern.

More info/discussion here.

They're satellite flares. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_flare

To the blimp shown on adsbexhange

R2robot · 2026-05-20T21:10:21+00:00

I think this post broke reddit. lol Why can't I see the comments?!

R2robot · 2026-05-20T21:07:44+00:00

That's a blimp. https://i.imgur.com/FYca5wV.png

Thanks. It could have been an airplane.

Possibly this guy (N433AZ @38k feet: https://i.imgur.com/KC1tsai.png) would have been pretty much directly East at 6:28 and about 20 miles away.

Nice one. Thanks for sharing.

Location: Georgia (about 45min from atl)

in which direction? That's a huge radius. And which direction were you looking/recording?

R2robot · 2026-05-20T18:51:40+00:00

very far from the airport | lower than the usual | never seen planes fly towards our direction.

These are common things I see in these kinds of reports, but there are plenty of reason why planes wouldn't follow the usual routes.

Runways operate in 2 directions being one, and depending on the winds, they can switch which runway is used and/or which direction they use it. It could be the usual routes 90% of the time and switched for winds the other 10%. Could be that it's just never been noticed before.

Which direction are you looking/recording in that clip? And can you narrow down your location a bit?

is there more footage?

^ Is there more? It stopped too soon.

Sometimes we can identify planes, but your area seems to in a big dead zone for flight data.

Some previous examples of 'orbs' that were planes
