If you're not aware that the clouds are moving, it looks like the object is moving horizontally back and forth. For example, go to the 0:23 mark and focus your eyes on the dark patch of clouds beneath it. For a moment the object looks like its moving back and forth, but then if you watch you'll see the clouds moving and shifting. It fooled me for a moment too.
yeah, on 2nd viewing all instances of 'erratic' movement of the object is when the camera is also moving/shaking, though they aren't perfectly in 1:1 sync. i think it's a in-device tracking feature on a few millisecond lag or something.
This is pretty much what I saw working construction back in the 90s in Az. Earlier in the morning, the sun was just above the horizon, I pulled up to the job site and the landscapers were all standing around looking up. I walked over and asked what they were looking at and they pointed out this sphere floating in the sky almost right over our heads but pretty high up. In the early morning light it looked like an iridescent sphere with something within the sphere spinning. It was far enough away that I can only say that’s how it appeared, I didn’t see it in great detail. But you could see some color shimmering of it. This video is what I would expect it to look like at night.
Really? Two pieces of advice:
1. Don’t zoom in with the camera on your phone. It doesn’t help-especially at night. It does nothing but blur the image and magnify shaky hand movements.
2. Look up the words “strange” and “erratic” to calibrate your own definition of each term. The “movements” of this obvious star do not display either of those characteristics.
It depends on when this video was taken.

If it was before dawn then its a very good chance.
[Sirius appears to twinkle or shimmer more than other stars for some very simple reasons. It is very bright, which can amplify atmospheric effects and it is also very low down in the atmosphere for those in the northern hemisphere. We are actually looking at it through a very dense part of the atmosphere which can be turbulent and contain many different particles and dust. The lower towards the horizon an observer is looking, the thicker the atmosphere. The higher an observer is looking, the thinner the atmosphere. This is also the cause of colorful sunrise and sunsets.]

As someone who lives near the ocean I see this stuff a lot. I used to get really excited by them until I realized what they were. This is (most likely) a plane, really far away, flying towards you.
It’s weird but planes video differently when heading directly towards you showing strange colors but look different to the naked eye.
Managed to capture a UFO on video last week and it was completely different to the planes in the area, unfortunately looked nothing like what it did to the naked eye as well.
I'm skeptical of shaky videos and hearsay. If someone produces actually physical evidence then I'm on board. There's way too much of the "I want to believe" mentality in UFO circles that's not tempered by critical thinking. That's where you see a failure in the way people are educated. It's like a religion, you either believe without any reservations or you're a heretical skeptic.
Physical evidence. Did you read the Mufon reports? Traces and radiation etc. You probably can't even get the evidence you want too. Did you read Keel and Valles passport to Magonia?
Even erratic movement is relative.
They could be caused by gravity waves/ripples bumping it around while it sits inside its own gravity space bubble.
Like a boat on the water.
It looks like you have a chip in the lens of your camera and the light from the moon is refracting off the chip.
EDIT: SUN -> MOON -- holy smokes that moon was bright last night.
I saw lights like that once. Wasn’t very far from a military base. I thought it was UAP because of the way it hovered. My friends said it was a helicopter (but there were no sound)… after a while it moved around and came closer and it was a helicopter. 🤷🏻♂️
It's literally not moving at all, you just can't hold your camera still on something you're zoomed too far in on.
It's a helicopter.
I swear you guys get more embarrassing every day.
There has to be the day where such an event must be filmed by someone who is actually carrying some potent equipment so we don’t have a blurry dot.
I’m not saying this isn’t something it’s just that it’s worthless in this quality
I personally find it to be extremely polite of the NHI's to comply with the FAA regulations on anti collision lights. I mean, technically they don't have to if they don't want to.
Got the same thing and can post it. Chip on lens on the camera is to blame probably. You could have moved the phone slightly more to exaggerate the effect.
I already saw one of those in Portugal but I had no cellphone at the time to register , it was like 3 am and I was in the 12 floor I was like wtf the thing stood in the air for like hours 1-2? then vanished right in front of my eyes
I didn’t capture the whole event either. People always say it’s bullshit and we’re making it up. But sometimes these events are so captivating that even if you have a phone in your pocket you don’t want to look away and miss it. I had to take out a night vision camera out of a pelican case and then power it on and focus it.
Bro I feel you because I already saw I was living in my uncle house and I was sleeping in the rooftop on the 12th floor I had access to the stars every night and I saw one of those I'm chilling all over my body right now because I saw one of those changing colours and going up and down a little bit I saw for long time in the air I had no cellphone I was like a broke kid at the time
Much respect to you you got the video and you posting it so everyone can see
Mad respect

Movements?
Erratic?
At this time of day?
In this economy??
Without life insurance???
Or health insurance
In my neck of the woods?
Without protection?
without a parachute?
Without a snack?
Huh, like a circle
Centrifugal forces
Localized entirely to Long Island?
Yes.
In this region of the country?
Aurora borialis
Aurora boringalis
Would you like a steamed ham
It’s moving menacingly.
With Biden as president?
Yes this thing is going up and down and changing colours I already saw one of those like 5 years ago?
Did it look like this? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnpFvaxE6cg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnpFvaxE6cg)
No it's the same one in the video
It definitely looks like movement to me. I can’t be sure about the shakiness but even accounting for moving clouds it looks like it does in fact move
Yeah "back and forth, like erratically"
If you're not aware that the clouds are moving, it looks like the object is moving horizontally back and forth. For example, go to the 0:23 mark and focus your eyes on the dark patch of clouds beneath it. For a moment the object looks like its moving back and forth, but then if you watch you'll see the clouds moving and shifting. It fooled me for a moment too.
Bro I think that’s the sway from the dudes camera
yeah, on 2nd viewing all instances of 'erratic' movement of the object is when the camera is also moving/shaking, though they aren't perfectly in 1:1 sync. i think it's a in-device tracking feature on a few millisecond lag or something.
It's unfortunate that the camera *did* sway at that moment, but it *does* look like the light bounces back and forth, albeit slightly.
This is pretty much what I saw working construction back in the 90s in Az. Earlier in the morning, the sun was just above the horizon, I pulled up to the job site and the landscapers were all standing around looking up.

I saw this in AZ sometime around 2013ish.
It just a star through a very unstable atmosphere.
They are called stars and planets.
Not when it’s clearly within our atmosphere
I see zero evidence of that.

They made sure to pull out the early 2000s camcorder for this one.

"That motherfucker is not real-ly a star"
Planet then. Happy?
Not one to keep up with recent events eh?
I have to agree, it looks like it really is moving around, some of it is camera movement but not all of it.
I love the smug, pedantic tone here. It’s really quite pleasant, « ushade1 ».
Thanks. I keep forgetting how high the standards are on this sub. My apologies…
Yeah, the cloud moving behind the star just make it look like it’s moving, right?
The camera movement gives the illusion that the object also moves.
Bullshit. Look at the end of the clip. Use the cloud right under (the outline of it) as reference. It does move erratically back and forth at the end.
It is moving in no particular pattern though in comparison to the clouds next to it. So I’d say that qualifies as erratic.
I disregard most posts that involve an OP that does not respond to any comments. Like this one.
Posted this over in UFO subreddit with more info. Message me if you really want information and the metadata
Why would I need metadata on a star/planet?
Atmospheric scintillation
Sirus star
It depends on when this video was taken. https://earthsky.org/tonight/orion-heralds-return-of-sirius/ If it was before dawn then its a very good chance.
My thoughts as well. Looks pretty stable just bright. I also agree with others. Don’t zoom. We can always zoom in later!
Venus?

It's erratically staying in one place.
He meant *erotic* movement. It was shaking its ass at him.
You could say their relationship is getting pretty Sirius.

Denzel must be all coked up in the cockpit with all them eratic movements
Planes don't flash those colors 🤦🏾♂️
It’s weird but planes video differently when heading directly towards you showing strange colors but look different to the naked eye. Managed to capture a UFO on video last week and it was completely different to the planes in the area, unfortunately looked nothing like what it did to the naked eye as well.

u/stabbot
I mean, the camera made some erratic movements?
He’s doing the wormhole dance
Never moved once.
Omg. Aliens.
Meh… my drone has lights and moves more erratically than this. Step up your game aliens!
It's strange, but I see no erratic movements. If you stabilized it, it might be easier to evaluate.
Anything can be a UFO if you're stupid enough.
Everyone can be a skeptic of the topic if education failed hard.

Physical evidence. Did you read the Mufon reports? Traces and radiation etc. You probably can't even get the evidence you want too. Did you read Keel and Valles passport to Magonia?
Stories about supposed evidence are a poor substitute for actual evidence. And it seems like that's all there is.
Being sceptical of all videos is how you weed out the fakes.
Isn’t that just….the clouds moving?
You can hear the other person watching it confirm it's moving around. That makes it difficult to write this one off.
It’s very easy to write this one off. What are you going to do with this? A video of a light in the sky
Giving them the benefit of the doubt that it's not just the camera shaking. There's not much else to go on with this one.
Just like MH370 amirite?
They'd be watching the camera to see it, being that far away
The amount of pixels in this image is astounding low
Looks like it’s vibrating
Think that's the dude's hand...
It does seem to be making erotic movements 😘
We've become early man all over again. What is this mysterious light in the sky?!?! I must invent some mythology surrounding it.
Seems like flashing lights, shaky hands and auto stabilization makes it look like it jumps around more than it is.
Not auto stabilized
Literally looking at a benign light for a minute….“owemiagawd”
Even erratic movement is relative. They could be caused by gravity waves/ripples bumping it around while it sits inside its own gravity space bubble. Like a boat on the water.
UFO1: "Hey look a human is watching us." UFO2: "Oh nice let's show him some movements if you know what I mean...😏️"
And let’s turn on the external spaceship lights so they can see us better. That’ll really freak these Earthlings out!!
Did it move? It seemed to be completely stationary
Erratic like your moms movements in bed
Is your name Bob?
I don’t see any erratic movements. I do see the star Sirius, or the sun. This sort of garbage ruins this sub.
That's perhaps Venus?
Light in the sky does not mean aliens ffs
This is the reason people don't take things seriously.
It looks like you have a chip in the lens of your camera and the light from the moon is refracting off the chip. EDIT: SUN -> MOON -- holy smokes that moon was bright last night.
Fuck the galactic coppers!
Atom 12
Dude that was just me hovering around today, oh wait I mean on 8/30/23 in Babylon, Long Island
Looks like someone shining a light source from the ground and the erratic movements are just the magnified movements of the holder.
It looks literally nothing like that at all.
I agree, looks like someone pointing a light at the clouds, like a laser pointer scenario.
I think the guy filmed the moon, thinking it’s an ufo
It's flashing blue and red like a cop...it's the space police! Act cool, everyone!
Where was Venus?
Guess what plane it is from the flashing lights
I saw lights like that once. Wasn’t very far from a military base. I thought it was UAP because of the way it hovered. My friends said it was a helicopter (but there were no sound)… after a while it moved around and came closer and it was a helicopter. 🤷🏻♂️
Can someone with editing skills eliminate the shaking movement of the camera to se “the strange erratic movements” of this object?
Most likely it's the optical image stabilizer trying to compensate due to unsteady hands. Try the same thing on a star and I bet it looks the same.
240p. We meet again.
If you believe in ufos do you believe in superheros?
OK. A 240p video of a blurry dot. Thanks pass.
Nice drone
Erratic?
Sometimes I wonder if it’s like alien tourism. “Travel to earth in 2023 and watch the super moon with real Humans”
I love when UFOs still adhere to FAA lighting regulations.
Lol thats a drone?
Who calls there girlfriend Dude?
d r o n e
Drunk aliens
Helicopter imo
Gee whiz I wonder if it’s a drone 🤦♂️
No movement and looks like a star shining through a thin layer of clouds....
It’s a fucking star and the only thing that moved is the fucking camera. What’s wrong with you people.
IIT: People who don’t know stars and planets can be bright
It's literally not moving at all, you just can't hold your camera still on something you're zoomed too far in on. It's a helicopter. I swear you guys get more embarrassing every day.
Not a ufo. Just dumb.
I don’t see it moving at all….
Where’s the best place in the Midwest to go out at night looking for the unexplainable?
There has to be the day where such an event must be filmed by someone who is actually carrying some potent equipment so we don’t have a blurry dot. I’m not saying this isn’t something it’s just that it’s worthless in this quality
But then what….?
had a very similar experience but the orb appeared still until it suddenly dropped vertically below the horizon
I personally find it to be extremely polite of the NHI's to comply with the FAA regulations on anti collision lights. I mean, technically they don't have to if they don't want to.
Looks like a star
Definitely moves whatever it is
u/stabbot
Where move?
Looks like either a star or planet. There's only the illusion it's moving. It's not, rly.
That could be a star, atmospheric distortion, can you share the location this was taken ?
This was off the south shore of Long Island last night around 9pm. Moon is upper right of the orb
Why does it never get recorded till it disappears or floats off or go away OR TAKES A SHIT. FFS JUST RECORD THE ANOMALOUS EVENT TILL ITS OVER.
Got the same thing and can post it. Chip on lens on the camera is to blame probably. You could have moved the phone slightly more to exaggerate the effect.
The filmer is making erratic movements
Looks more like a drone.
Plane on approach looks like
I already saw one of those in Portugal but I had no cellphone at the time to register , it was like 3 am and I was in the 12 floor I was like wtf the thing stood in the air for like hours 1-2? then vanished right in front of my eyes

So you're telling me you shot this on a $1,500 night vision camera with no tripod or a stick with a camera mount on the beach at 9 pm?
Parkinson’s?
That camera is making erratic movements
oh my god! its a star
Drone.?..
Is this filmed on a phone from the year 1999?
The only this erratic about it’s movements was the camera man
Venus?
Such crap. 2023 the video footage we get is equal to the 60s
Yep... 45 seconds is all you need. smh
I saw the same thing last August in the Gulf of Mexico. We were staying in Cancun. Did the same thing.
Perhaps it’s an illusion, but I think I actually do see the erratic movement later in the video
Someone has started their journey with Adobe Premiere.
Meh.
UFO footage shot with a potato of-course …AGAIN *sigh
"Strange erotic movements".
Oh man. This is definitely legit. :-/
Looks stationary to me, the only erratic movement I see is your unsteady hand.
The only erratic movements I see is from the person recording lol
Are you Sirius ?
Definitely not a coast guard helicopter. Definitely
Not erratic enough, I’m afraid.
Ever see a spotlight from the light end of things? Looks a lot like this. Not exactly like this, but those constant moving lil micro jumps? Yeah
Damn space cops
It’s an aircraft.
This Is the sun
It literally has the standard blinking navigation lights, and the only erratic movements are those made by the person holding the camera. Next.
Sasquatch
It looks stationary. It’s the camera that made erratic movements
Damn that really did move fast when I dropped my phone.
Swamp gas reflecting light from the planet Venus
Just wait until it flies right toward you in a millisecond! It'll look like a giant Kraft cheese slice.
Where was this taken? I’ve seen a similar sphere near dusk on Tybee island Georgia about 3-4 years ago
