Hmm that video really looks like bugs? I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be seeing here. ๐Ÿค”

Since there's no way to tell how far away these things are from the camera there's no way to get even a reasonable estimate of their speed or size!

The video is taken by a veteran flight tower operator living in the area next to the tower for, iirc 29 years.

Extremely qualified, trained observer.

The video does NOT look like bugs.

But it is not a $2000 nicon coolpix 80x optical zoom video. Which is why witness testimony is important in this case.

I always hope that videos provide enough in the scenes to estimate depth and distance. One of the tricky things with capturing objects in the sky is that there will always be a sacrifice in what you capture. If you zoom in to just the sky, then you lose trees and objects on the ground to establish some sense of distance and visual anchors to match the movement of the objects to. If you're zoomed out then you lose clarity of the object itself.

I do find the consistent rotation of the main object interesting. I've seen quite a few videos posted of objects that show tumbling movement, though it's usually hard to make out exactly what they are.

Public sightings are a hard numbers game to win. It really just comes down to chance that someone with a good enough camera spots something and captures enough details. There's a lot of open sky, time in the day, and not a ton of people actively watching the sky. But, enough videos like this can help categorize sightings to better determine what is anomalous.

Agree on all points.

Ideally we need multisensor + multilens systems to simultaneously zoom in and zoom out. Also we need next gen image stabilization or tripods.

As of right now the sightings are somewhat rare and it's a big ask to have a pro level videographer with a tripod available 24/7 in every 20 miles sq area.

Eventually we'll get something.

Witness testimony will remain essential. Once we get those crystal clear images, next we'll hear how it's all CGI.

Abductions with 8 hrs of lost time for all the debunkers. ๐Ÿคฃ
