It looks like a capture of a flying rod to me.

David Wilson visits the trial area at the Garden Splendor nursery and profiles one of his favorite perennials - Salvia 'Blue Hill'.
67 seconds into his explanation of how it provides outstanding color year after year and how it can rebloom up to four times in the same season, a UFO flies over the area!

It does not fly perfectly straight, which is why I suspect it is a bug of some sort.

Basically, everything else with a straight edge in the image is -- perfectly straight.

The flight path of whatever it is in the background or even foreground, is not perfectly straight which alarms me..... as most of any UFO's I've seen which move fast, are flying perfectly straight. Hold a piece of paper up to your monitor, while repeating the segment, until you can use the edge of the paper sheet as a 'line' to see it move. You will see a curved flight path.

Which is why it might be a bug in the foreground, ie in front of the person, between them and the camera.

Nice try, though! I mean that in the nicest way, as I've seen UFOs and things that cannot be explained away by any science or theory. thus I have no problem believing. But this is unprovable and has too many potentials to be something else, like a bug in the foreground.

I posted the above image from this website (http://www.google.ca/imgres?um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=2048&bih=1027&tbm=isch&tbnid=FGrDPinRxvA5dM:&imgrefurl=http://www.opendb.com/sol/seq.htm&imgurl=http://www.opendb.com/sol/swrd1_c.jpg&w=320&h=232&ei=3M5CUPulOajr0gH3gIGgCw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=1349&vpy=383&dur=117&hovh=185&hovw=256&tx=135&ty=102&sig=118264240422185409655&page=2&tbnh=152&tbnw=196&start=43&ndsp=54&ved=1t:429,r:6,s:43,i:228) to give you an idea of what I am talking about

I think flying rods qualify as UFO's .....perhaps next time I might label this as a rod posting.
I should see if I can get some still images from this video

[GarethBKK]

Stop the video at 1:05. That's no bug as it flies (they fly?) behind the post, meaning it is large scale. I think conventional aircraft at that altitude and that close would be audible on the soundtrack. Interesting.

Edit: Sorry looked again and it does appear to fly in front of the posts. I'll need to download and go through the frames.

[NancyV]

Here is a resized screenshot at exactly 1:05. Doesn't look much like a bug.

Vitalux.. hey mate, hope all is well.. It's a rod and it's probably an organism of some kind.. insect etc..

look in to it.. they're generally visible via infra red and although his name eludes me, he has done a large amount of research on the topic..

have a great day..

I couldn't see it at all!! But i now know heaps of interesting facts about salvias, a species I had little knowledge of before!

[Vitalux]

I am not sure what it is either.
If it is a bug, it might be flying at about 34 miles an hour.

I based it that it fly about 50 feet in about one second.
Interesting video though...i just dont know what that darn thing is....bird...bug....:confused:

[Awakened]

It honestly to me does not look at all like a U.F.O, but some sort of a bug that is flying overhead.

...
67 seconds into his explanation ... a UFO flies over the area!

It looks to me to be 65 to 66 seconds into the video, not 67, and it looks to me to be a pair of military fighter jets flying in formation. It's probably easy for my brain to see such, after four years in the U.S. Air Force, living on military air bases. (Doesn't mean that's what it is; just that's what it's easy for my brain to think it's seeing.)

Here's a screen capture of what I see. A single pixelated screen capture is not very compelling, but in motion, it's more compelling, to my brain.

Here's a screen capture of what I see.
Ok - I got carried away and took screen captures of all 25 frames (more like 28, but about 3 frames are duplicates) showing the "UFO". Here's thumbnails of the first eight images:

The very first image shows the "UFO" near the telephone pole.

I cannot tell whether the "UFO" flies in front of, or behind, the pole. It gets down to slight shading differences of a few individual pixels, to determine whether the tail of the leading blip is behind the pole or not.

It flew too fast for an insect; a fly could fly in this speed, but a fly would not show up being too small.

[ThePythonicCow]

I'd guess that it's a pair of fighter jets, perhaps a mile or two away, cutting across our (wild guess) 1/4 radian view in one second, which would mean they were traveling 200 to 400 miles per hour, subsonic with no afterburners. They would be difficult to hear, even if one were there, and probably not picked up on his close proximity mic on his chest, shielded from the jets by his body. Even the vehicles that pass not far behind him don't make much noise on the recording.

Paul... Thanks for all the screen grabs! After watching the video on the OP, without even seeing your screen grabs, I saw two objects flying in tight formation.

I personally feel that if these were 'jets', we'd hear them, at Minimum after they had passed - think about when a jet liner flying at 20,000 ft flys over... yes, the plane is 'ahead' of the sound, but There IS Sound.

In this video, There Are No Jet Sounds... At All. And, military aircraft are Much louder that civilian craft.

With this background, I Strongly suspect that these are two disks (or even small 'rod' craft). Simply my take on the video and screen grabs.

Great job Vitalux!

(BTW... they may be 'ours' ! ;) )

If they are planes, and if they are 2 miles away, the sound would be delayed some 8 to 10 seconds. Military fighters are loud when taking off or when on after burner, but they aren't that much louder when just "cruising" along, subsonic.

I'm not sure of the distance, so it might be anywhere from say 4 to 20 seconds delayed.

Sound takes about 4 to 5 seconds (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_sound) to travel one mile in air near sea level. As I noted above, with the close mic'ing (see the mic on his shirt) and with his body in the way of sounds from behind him, even sounds of traffic on the road behind him are rather muffled.

I do hear some sounds in that time range that aren't associated with visible traffic.

[Kindred]

After as careful a review I can make with the limited 'technology' I have available to me, I'm retracting my original idea that they're 'ships'... of Any kind.. I think it's a couple of bugs.. perhaps (probably) dragonflies.

I get the distinct impression that they flew between the pole, and the videographer - but that's only my un-informed opinion. Obviously, not everyone feels that way, which is cool... I know that there are Plenty of valid sightings, and there is No doubt in my mind that Earth has been visited for millennia (the Human race All came from 'somewhere else').

Oh well... it was fun to speculate!

Ah... the Experience, in all it's glory!

My 2 cents........Two discs. or a huge rod. Either way its a UFO because we haven't 100% identified it. Great work getting the screen shots Paul!!

When you expand to full screen, put your pointer, to 104, and then just keep repeating and you can plainly see them going in front of the pole. hmm. look about the right size, for two black birds. hmm.

Look at my screen captures ... the very first one in the series is the only frame where these "UFO"'s are close to the pole, and it is not clear from that frame whether they are in front or behind it.

When I view the video in motion, they seem to me to go behind the pole ... probably because they look to me like a couple of military fighter planes in formation, flying a couple of miles away.

That they seem to fly in front of the pole for you, and behind for me, shows the power of our minds ... it is not in the actual individual video frames.

[Doctor]

Notice the quality of the video when he makes sudden movements or when a car drives by. Horizontal lines are made. That's a bug, with fast movement, flying in between those lines. It's just a poor video.
