I don't know, but I have a hard time thinking "bird" or even "drone" here....

    It is amazing what always passes for evidence of some extra-terrestrial activity. Blurred images have always been a staple of the "Look, a UFO!!" Being unable to discern anything about the 'craft' there is not enough information to make any kind of conclusion. Could be something added to the video later, a distortion of the video, nothing to go on here.
    Having stated that, is it possible that there other sentient intelligent beings out there? Are some of them smart enough to accomplish interstellar or even inter galactic travel? Possibly. Of course someone has to be first to rise in ability and technology and humans might be the best there are at this point in time. Which means we would be unlikely to ever discover other intelligent life in our lifetime.

      I don't hang my hat on this being UFO signs, however, it does look weird, it does seem to be on a path behind the copter, and it seems to not be related to anything anyone else had in the air. I have thought about the why, and have a possible theory, given that there is a lot of talk about "judgement" and the imposition of groups on individuals, could it be that there are more advanced beings who are actually judging us on our ability to behave, be mature, not going around wrecking everything, or being corrupt liars? Maybe assessing whether we, as a society, can be allowed to continue? Mexico just released a bunch of materials they have "kept secret" for the last 70 years, and a lot of it is ancient art depicting what seem to be real good representations of the "saucer" UFO.

        I think the possibility of other intelligent beings is real, it just seems most of the 'evidence' that people come up with is very minimally conclusive at best. I saw one once when I was 18 while I was waiting to go out on the truck. It sped across the sky without a sound at a high rate of speed. I jumped out of my car for a better look, then got scared and jumped back in and locked the doors. Then thought if there are beings from another galaxy traveling in the marvelous ship I just witnessed then for them to get into a 1959 Ford probably wouldn't be too difficult. I got back out and looked and waited some more. Never saw anything more. Unfortunately the only evidence I have is my memory of the experience.
        If beings are watching us to determine our morality and maturity they must be very disappointed.

          Disappointed, indeed, given that we seem to be decaying on an ongoing basis, where power and corruption, and selfish gains are the prime achievement of most of our leaders.

    Definitely birds, likely some kind of duck. The color patterns match several kinds of duck, and the frame rate of the camera "freezes" their wings on the upstroke. This is so obvious, given the proportional size of the objects related to the helicopter, I'm amazed that any credible UFOlogist would post this.

      Well Doc, it probably got posted because some people do not see "ducks". They may be ducks, but I would think a better analysis could have been done, as I see two round objects, possibly linked. I also would have to say I can't prove they are NOT ducks, making it just as fuzzy a point.

        So I guess they meet the criteria for "Unidentified Flying Objects." However, I think there should also be a category entitled "Uninteresting Flying Objects," for which these also qualify.

    My psyche can only handle so many worries. With such matters as alien visitors being inside my sphere of concern but outside my sphere of influence, I try to put them outside my worry box.

    Having played around creating crude special effects in a darkroom during the 70s, me dino would have been more impressed if those images had passed behind the front side of that helicopter, perfectly disappearing from view and reappearing back.into view.
    If those images are actual objects, they ain't birds. But, if real, are they two objects flying in perfect formation or one for being altogether attached to a wing?
    I'm not sure.
    Should there be space aliens inside that thing or things, old dino is reminded of my favorite Twilight Zone episode~

      Ha! No, I wonder if, just like we do, anyone way more advanced than us would not find it a problem to make a miniaturized drone to observe things. It is just rather obscure some of the things that they appear at. Maybe it is a survey of our entire society, just hope they cannot tap into the lamestream media or we are toast. They would just quarantine us.

        We may already be quarantined for study. Save for a few deep space probes, we're not leaving this solar system any time soon.
        Due to the lame-stream media, "Let us pass this bill to see what is in it" comments by our ELECTED political leaders and our broadcast history, ET must think we're all a pack of dangerous stupid idiots.

        They've likely watched this admission of our frailties. Even if you have a Gort, who would want to be subjected to this?~

        Yeah, I think we have company. But me dino is just really big time picky about what a UFO may be.
        A UFO is nothing more than an unidentified flying object that we see all the time.
        What's that speck high in the sky? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it may be the mothership!

    One of three things .1. It should be taken seriously, in which case it should make headlines all around the world 2. It is a hoax 3. It is Kal-el late for a date with Lois.
