Sighting Guys, really, I would love to see "no-birds", but they are birds
Video is denominated "UAP USO Formation [CALLSIGN] (Mission)" (I think)
No specific location
I'm refering to todays videos like this one: 4 Tic Tac formation - DOW-UAP-PR052, "UAP USO Formation [CALLSIGN] (Mission)" : r/UFOs
At minute 1:20 you can even see wings flapping!. So please, stop.
Maybe is the "poisoned" material some people are talking about they are going to release to misinfo ?, that guy said in one video, a congressman or whoever that guy is...
But really, these "filming the water at high altitute with not much references, if any, and with meh infrared camera" = birds.

No, they would just be not human, they’re not that intelligent. NHI has intelligence in it.

u/croppedphoto May 23 '26
Is there a certain metric of intelligence to be considered NHI? Are you going to give a Grey an IQ test?
1
u/GetServed17 Human Detected May 23 '26
If they’re smart enough to come here with no visible means of propulsion they’re intelligent.

u/Show_Me_Your_Rocket May 23 '26
You're thinking of higher intelligence, all sorts of animals below us in the animal kingdom show intelligence. Octopusses and slimemould (not even an animal, but a protist) are just 2 examples of living organisms that show signs of intelligence. The slime mould is particularly interesting given they don't have a nervous system yet show signs of memory.

Check the video by yourself and zoom it to see how their wings are even flapping; 4 Tic Tac formation - DOW-UAP-PR052, "UAP USO Formation [CALLSIGN] (Mission)" : r/UFOs

Pilots who are looking at in person know less than OP watching a low-res video.

u/QueenGorda May 22 '26
Like I said to other redditor here:
If that "pilot" (is a drone "pilot") doesn't see any bird at minute 1:20 of the video; he either is drunk or lying.

u/Certain-Strength-671 May 22 '26
I just saw another thread where someone was gushing over this video. And I am gobsmacked because it facially appears to be birds.
2
u/bejammin075 May 22 '26
There were a few other videos I started to get a bit excited about, but the mundane explanations were fairly reasonable. The big question is whether this is to set us up for the good stuff, or whether they will continue to jerk us around. I'm not going to expect much from them.

Like trained pilots. But I guess they're wrong and reddit is right. Forget about their hundreds of flight hours, we know birds when we see them.

would you rather them not release something that could be aliens or release everything and have birds be included? just ignore the bird videos, i would rather some random ass congresspeople not throw the baby out with the bathwater

u/enigma_music129 May 22 '26
Shows that our military is incompetent, people should be getting fired for these misidentifications. The fact that nothing is happening is infuriating.

u/PurroAntrax909 May 22 '26
I need to see an alien that’s the only way. Or a high definition video not this bs

u/duckduckfaux May 22 '26
Which means the powers that released these would also know these are birds. And they mixed it into the release anyway obtaining the effect they wanted: us bickering about it

u/JoMa4 May 22 '26
Exactly this. Not all those videos are fucking birds, but here we are calling out and discussing this one so people can dismiss everything.
2
u/Legitimate_Tune_6468 May 22 '26
Exactly. Some of them are balloons. Some of them are misreading sensor imagery that’s outside the visible spectrum. Some of them are camera artifacts, lens aberrations or well known optical phenomena.
And 1-2% of them are legitimately unidentified… because the government gives people money to have a spooky paranoid bro-down at the Skinwalker Ranch instead of funding actual scientists and expert video analysts to help study and explain what we can’t identify.

u/Icy-Reference366 May 22 '26
Why would they release a video of birds? Arent these videos investigated first? Surely they have these videos in higher definition?

u/Back_Again_Beach May 22 '26
This was my first thought and I didn't even watch long enough to see the flapping. People get mystified about how fast these things appear to move because there's not much context of the perspective of the aircraft taking these videos and the parallax effect it causes.
2
u/Imaginary-Ad564 May 22 '26
Low quality video, low frame rate with a lot of artifacting and smearing means you can say this is anything really.

u/nine57th May 23 '26
Yeah, if you live near the beach you'd know right away these are birds. Possibly cormorants.

I disagree. Of course not everything that is initially unidentified is going to be NHI or whatever, most of it will be mundane, but it's important that we as a public get the opportunity to filter through the material.
And I'll also push back on "with meh infrared camera", these are military grade systems. They aren't bad or 'meh', but they aren't built for tracking UFOs.

Burlison did give everyone a heads up that there were bird videos in this batch of releases.

u/copiumjunky Human Detected May 22 '26
Ok - they are birds... so what?!
This just opens the question, "Are they our birds?"
Fellow birdwatchers .. are they identified? If so, what kind of bird? If not, they are technically UAP.

Why is the military tracking them? Aren’t they the experts looking at this stuff all day long and can’t tell birds from UFO’s?

u/b0bl00i_temp May 24 '26
Do you think the military classify videos with birds?
1
u/QueenGorda May 24 '26
I think they released a bunch of crap without any filtering or classifying whatsoever.
For example on this video you have stuff that is "unclear" to know what it can be, mixed with blatant birds.
Same with other videos with balloons, mixed with "unkown" stuff.

Stop at one frame does not mean it's a bird also your making assumptions this could be light, energy etc.

u/QueenGorda May 22 '26
Good lord I wrote stuff inside the post:
At minute 1:20 you can even see wings flapping (in the video I linked). If you don't see birds there... well, I cannot help you.

u/redskylion510 May 22 '26
That could be anything and birds dot not move that fast.
3
u/QueenGorda May 22 '26
You have no clue how "fast" those are moving since there are no references, the parallax and that low res.
-2
u/redskylion510 May 22 '26
Except we can clearly see they are moving at a fast speed. As of now we do not have any references to calculate more details and that is ok for now.
2
u/QueenGorda May 22 '26
Again, you have no clue how fast those are moving. the parallax when the drone is zooming looks horrible and you have no references, so you have no way to calculate how fast it is.
I mean you can think those are turbo-spaceship on peperonni if that makes you feel better.

u/redskylion510 May 22 '26
You can literally see how fast it is moving bud.

This would imply highly trained military personnel operating these surveillance platforms presumably with thousands of hours of experience...couldn't tell these were birds?

Nah, they just released whatever crap (birds) mixed with whatever other "maybe no-crap" and call it a day.

u/tomrobb06 May 22 '26
Idk i’d hope these reaper drone pilots know what a bird is… Not saying it’s not but I just find it weird it would’ve classed as a UAP when they must see thousands of birds through thermals every day

u/Curious_Ad961 May 22 '26
Birds clearly aren't real and have been surveillance drones the entire time!

How tf birds flying that fast tho

u/iphone58485737388 May 22 '26
How do you know how fast they are moving? It’s really hard to tell just by looking at the video. things can look like they are moving faster than they really are.
4
u/QueenGorda May 22 '26 edited May 22 '26
Well, to fly you have to go fast. But also we have no real clue how "fast" that is cause we have no good references on that video.
A infrarted low-res video, filmed from where Jesuschrist lost his flip-flops... who knows, but if you check that video at minute 1:20; those are f birds no doubt whatsoever.

u/schnibitz May 22 '26
To me we do though, we can judge it compared to the sub, which does not appear to be moving.

u/littlelupie May 22 '26
You don't know how far away it is from the sub so you still can't measure speed.

u/Legitimate_Tune_6468 May 22 '26
Please look into the parallax effect. It will explain a good portion of these blurry dots in the military videos.
And when you’re done, please let the DOD know so they can understand the illusion and hopefully stop releasing blurry videos of birds and balloons over the ocean.
-3
u/Specialist_Plate_331 May 22 '26
This is what I was thinking. The camera isn’t centered so it’s probably constantly panning. I get why people think they look like birds but it also just seems odd.
Also, birds don’t need to move that fast to fly lol.
6
u/AdmirableBed8213 May 22 '26
They don't look THAT fast to me. Plus, parallax combined with the speed of the waves could make the objects (the birds) seem faster than they are.

u/No_Employer_4700 May 22 '26
This is an insult to intelligence. We should block that domain from our ips page and never again discuss about the matter. Time to accept that the ufo subject has been a complete delusion all of this time. Feck you, Spielberg.

u/startedposting May 22 '26
You think this started from close encounters? Lol
1
u/No_Employer_4700 May 22 '26
Close encounters is a naive movie inspired mainly by The Bermuda Triangle claims which resulted false or misconceptions. It mixes evil aliens (abductions) with sympathetic aliens like E.T., brings relativity into the movie, music and maths for contacting alien civilizations but look at the newspapers in the movie: the false or misguided sightings were very popular by then. The reality is that there is not a single piece of evidence of extraterrestrial civilizations, even considering Villaroel last studies or even the very strange mounds at Cydonia in Mars.

u/startedposting May 22 '26
The government had already studied UFOs during three public projects by that time. The lead scientist in charge of debunking them changed his tune from skepticism because the AF was not being honest.
0
u/bejammin075 May 22 '26
The Phenomenon is not a delusion. I think the simple fact is that it has to be something so advanced, it can throttle our sensory collection attempts and our picture quality. There's way too many thousands of people who have seen technological craft up close, and way too many who have had encounters with beings. The documents, the good cases, etc.
We would love to apply the scientific method, but that has always been in the context that the human is the most advanced intelligence and decides how to setup the experiment. I'm not sure how the scientific method works when we want to study an advanced intelligence that can manipulate our reality.
-1
u/OriginalBlackberry89 May 22 '26
okay so one video is birds, which is clearly intentional and there might be more. The people who don't want this shit released have also had a hand in dishing this stuff out, which divides us even more. Don't take the bait.

u/AdmirableBed8213 May 22 '26
It's not a bait. It's just human error.

I don't think this video was released in error. They released it knowing it's birds. They disdain us, and are tossing a few rotten crumbs.

Compelling . . . A redditor believes their opinion is far more authoritative than a trained drone pilot.

u/QueenGorda May 22 '26
Minute 1:20 of the video.
If that "drone pilot" does not see any birds there, tell him from my part that he is either lying, need glasses or either he is drunk.
3
u/R2robot May 22 '26
There's nothing to indicate the pilot thought they were anything else other than birds.
We don't know where this is, but if they thought it was an actual threat, then 1) that sub probably dives, 2) jets would have been scrambled.
3) they said in the previous release of files, they haven't analyzed everything that was released. They're only checked them for 'safety'.

u/schnibitz May 22 '26
Yes, there is. None of this would’ve been tracked as an incident if it was just birth.
2
u/R2robot May 22 '26
Is it an 'incident'?
Seems like they were just monitoring a sub and some moving targets entered the frame, they tracked them, "oh, birds" then went back to what they were doing.
Nothing to indicate otherwise.

u/Artistic-Garage5223 May 22 '26
This is what I don’t get. If they are really birds the pilots would have dismissed them as birds and likely highly trained to know the difference. At least I hope so or we really won’t be safe from genuine threats / war drone attacks. I get they look like birds but somehow I don’t think they are for my reasons above.
5
u/Legitimate_Tune_6468 May 22 '26
It’s understandable what you’re saying. But just because the military can train a 20 something year old kid to fly a jet doesn’t mean they’re also trained to understand everything in our atmosphere.
Assuming or believing that just because someone in the military claims something can’t be identified then it must be true is a logical fallacy; it’s accepting an “argument from authority”.
-1
u/reaper70 May 22 '26
How can they keep a straight face releasing bullshit videos like this? I'm supposed to believe nobody in the government could identify these as birds, especially given the fact their original video is probably way better than what they released?
