UFO footage? Filmed at my farm on January 6, 2019
On January 6th at 4:48 pm at our farm, my husband captured the attached footage on his DJI Mavic Air Drone. It is definitely a UFO (true definition, not referring to Aliens necessarily)
Our farmland terminates on a ridge. It is hilly and windy here. This particular day happened to be perfectly still so he (husband) wanted to take advantage and get some drone footage of our property. We have cropped identifiers such as our barndo, which would be slightly right to the footage (and because we are in the middle of some huge messy projects that don’t look very pretty from the air). The drone is hovering facing E/SE. This was taken at 4:48 pm. This object was filmed at 30 frames per second and the object is only visible in six frames. The object is on the screen for less than half of one second. Perhaps someone more proficient in math that I can ascertain the object’s speed? Whatever it is? It was ridiculously fast. Just eyeballing it, it appears to be flying in excess of 200 mph? Or not. Not sure. My husband did not notice this object on the controller as he was at least 400 feet from the airborne drone using a small controller. The audio was on and this object made no noise.
Before wasting anyone’s time here, I wanted to make sure that there is no other explanation for this. I have searched for drones capable of this and the only thing that comes close in resemblance is a paper airplane drone. But it would appear that those drones are not capable of high speed flight. I googled the fastest drone which is reported to be less than 200 mph and they did not resemble the object at all.
My husband believes that he observed this twice when he was out using his drone (peripheral vision).
I asked him why he didn’t mention it and he said that he wasn’t sure it was anything at the time, but when he did observe it, it was flying more slowly over a tree line at the end of a plateau that overlooks a creek behind our barndo. He only saw it for a second and assumed it was a piece of debris.
I even did research to determine whether this could be some camera effect with this particular drone. Couldn’t find anything, but I did find some Youtube video of something similar in mid Wales wherein it was attributed to Aliens (not willing to go there yet). Also looked at the ‘Drones for Dummies’ webpage to see if this could occur with Radio frequency, etc. There was an interesting drawing that illustrated the lift that was very geometric, but nothing that could explain this.
Any opinions appreciated. The fact that this has occurred more than once seems to suggest that it is definitely related to drone use (although husband contends that he doesn’t go around looking up unless he is using the drone).
Thanks for your time in reading!
Ok, new update. Apparently, this platform does not support MP4, so I am sending a photo instead. What a shame! If anyone can figure out how to get this one second video loaded, please let me know. Thanks!
