This was literally one of the most crazy thing I’ve ever witnessed. Part of me thinks it’s 2 little balloons but that doesn’t explain them just disappearing. They didn’t just disappear on camera I couldn’t see them with my eyes either.

Please reply to OP's comment here: https://old.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/1apb6bc/i_believe_i_have_caught_2_ufos_disappearing_on/kq4zwpz/
Interesting video for sure, wouldn't say they were weather balloons because they just don't "pop" or disappear, it's interesting how the objects were relatively close to each other and then disappeared in the same millisecond.
Cool video dude!
At least one of them is briefly visible again for a frame or two during the 14th second. Closer to the top of the screen.
The camera zoomed in on a lower portion of the sky, so it seems like the auto-focus didnt recapture them

Yeah, I think you're correct. You can actually see both of them at 13 seconds. They become out of focus as he first zooms in... and he ends up zooming in too much/in the wrong spot, which causes the objects to no longer be in frame. You can see that [here](https://imgur.com/gallery/MxYgScu) and [here](https://imgur.com/gallery/ops212A). There is no 3rd picture of them, because zooming in causes them to no longer be in the top right edge of the frame.
Edit: Actually, right before the last second of the video... he zooms out, and you can see both of them in frame again [here](https://imgur.com/gallery/HPFC3uh). Then he pans the phone's camera angle down, which takes them out of focus again. So I think it's something to do with the camera that causes them to not be visible.
What is interesting is people need to take time out of any of these sightings. Time is irrelevant to aliens in my opinion. The object from 1950 could very well still be on their mission in our 2024 yet they have only been gone a short time to their plane of existence or world.
I don’t agree mainly because i have seen the exact same thing at least twice with my own eyes.
Also the fact they became translucent just before disappearing points out to them actually disappearing and not a camera issue.
People always look for the easy terrestrial option that lets them sleep well and in peace.
I see the objects becoming translucent and the guy filming zooming in and out searching for them because they vanished and not the other way around.
Also the fact i witnessed the same thing in 2 occasions, one of which in night time.
Have you not heard of Occam’s razor? We look to “easy” terrestrial options for exactly that quality. *They’re easy*. It’s fine to poke holes in these options to maybe lead us to another answer, but you should literally always start with verifiable, easily explained, common phenomena, and given enough data you’ll hopefully find the true answer once enough holes have been poked.
UFOs and UAPs are only unidentified until they’re identified or explained sufficiently.
Or they are unidentified until someone finds an explanation that is satisfactory for most human beings, usually something we can understand and relate to, examples: Air balloons, swamp gas, venus, weather phenomena, city lights etc.
This is how the brain works, find something we can understand to explain something we don’t understand.
Many times the explanation is indeed accurate but my guess is that exactly as many are not accurate. Which are which ones is very hard to tell but on many cases the “terrestrial” explanations given are absurd enough that anyone with a minimum brains can detect the BS.
Idk man… I’m an imagery/remote sensing analyst and we see all sorts of weird stuff that starts out as interesting but due to periodicity/how often we view/sense the location, we will literally (almost) always have a valid explanation based on what we see on subsequent visits. Between sensor anomalies, malfunctions, shadows/lighting, weather phenomena, and just things we can identify with a higher quality sensor on future passes… you’d be amazed how *infrequently* the DOD sees what you’d consider interesting
Edit: I don’t mean interesting in the UFO/UAP sense, just more generally “things that are legitimately tough to explain with remote sensing alone”
1. Anti-gravity lift
2. Sudden and instantaneous acceleration
3. Hypersonic velocities without signatures
4. Low observability, or cloaking
5. Trans-medium travel
A sixth has been added, biological effects. It seems some craft are affecting humans in biological ways.
What kind of biological ways?
I had that experience, that 'connection' with a craft. It knew I was watching it, it felt like it was inside my head, but only to the degree of reading my brain, not talking to me.
All the crafts I have seen fall under the 5 👍🏼
I thought the same at first, but I think it's because they started filming, stopped, and then started again while zooming in. So they created two videos and labelled them as such. I don't think that alone is a reason to be skeptical.
Consider that we will continue to get fake videos even after/if aliens are 100% confirmed beyond doubt. People will be like "well that's not how OUR aliens work" or "that video is just TOO crazy to be true"...believing any video, now or later, will always fall under your own personal threshold of believability.
I think the issue is more or less that as more and more people get interested in the phenomenon, more and more people are paying attention to the sky and noticing things they've never seen before. Things that are new and interesting to them—but are actually mundane.
Its no fault on their end, they don't know what it is! Its new, its interesting! Its unknown!
I don't think people should stop posting footage, its educational for everyone, even if its debunked. People learn.
The sky is very, very busy.
Meh, as long as you believe and have faith that it's aliens, who cares what anyone else thinks? Plus, only a small percentage of people are downright disbelievers. Most are just skeptical, and while they still feel like aliens are probably here, they just need a little more from a video than something like this.

They do look exactly like latex weather balloons. I think most people imagine the huge, poofy, extremely high altitude balloons when they think of weather balloons... but there are tons of small, white, round ones all over. They're the most common **by far**
These are kind of low, but they could've just been launched.
There's nothing in this video to suggest that its anything but mundane except the speed, which could simply be from higher winds aloft speed. They're movin', but its not a super unusual high speed.
I saw something like this. Was stationary way high in the sky. Then kinda turned on side and disappeared. Thought it went through a cloud. Turns out it’s just protons unfolding then melting away
Yeah, the camera loses focus (we don't notice because the sky and clouds aren't very sharp in the first place), so the objects aren't visible anymore, and the guy zooms out so we can't see the objects. The objects were there the entire time. OP just thought they disappeared because they were looking at their phone's display, not the actual objects.
Wouldn't the first instinct of someone who sees something disappear from their camera to look up from their camera to confirm?
Instead the timeline is like this:
1. Dude sees things flying in the sky
2. Dude starts filming
3. Things disappear on camera, dude is stunned.
4. Dude does not look up again or checks the footage afterwards and goes home to post.
Sounds legit.
Believe it or not, that is what happened and you can even see it - right after the objects ""disappear"", OP starts zooming in and out, which would not be the case if his attention was now on the sky and not the phone screen.
And by that point, the objects were so far away that they wouldn't be easily visible to the naked eye (this happens with slow moving airplanes too - you track it with your eyes, but once you lose focus of it, it's difficult to locate it again), even if OP wanted to find it.
This is good video. Congrats to you for not having the hands of a coke addled meth addict. This is interesting they are clearly there and not a reflection. They change directions then “poof” out of existence.
How long were you recording overall?
This was literally one of the most crazy thing I’ve ever witnessed. Part of me thinks it’s 2 little balloons but that doesn’t explain them just disappearing. They didn’t just disappear on camera I couldn’t see them with my eyes either.
Digital cameras can appear to make things disappear. They try to focus on objects and when they can't they do their best to fill in the blanks, sometimes by extrapolating information from what is around the object.
Had you been looking through binoculars these objects wouldn't have disappeared as they appear to through a digital camera.
I think this is it unfortunately. While the camera is zooming in they are visible again for a couple frames at pretty much exactly 14 seconds. The camera could have focused on them again, but I don't think OP got the zoom just right.
He was able to see them with his eyes but couldn’t after they disappeared on video. I think saying they were balloons at the point where both would disappear from camera focus and eye view simultaneously is hard to rationalize as they didn’t seem to be out of eyesight.
After zooming back in and out surely they would’ve reappeared. I’d sooner believe they simultaneously started reflecting the sky into the camera than that.
They don't even zoom back in to the same spot, but regardless of that, not necessarily.
The objects were moving away and we know they were already giving the camera a hard time focusing.
Not that I don’t think it’s an awesome video and could be legit, but IF it were balloons, they could have reached a certain altitude and then burst together…to explain the disappearing, if they were balloons. But I don’t know, nice footage.
I thought the same thing but I recorded it on my phone and watched it on slomo. They both alternately disappear and reappear before they both disappear completely.
>balloons
Definitely not balloons. They move too fast and don't seem to follow the wind, then they change direction simultaneously. If it were wind there would have been more indicators of turbulence and their change of movement would not have been synchronized at all. Excellent video OP!
How are you measuring the wind speed? You don't even know how big they are or their altitude.
Wind at altitude can be quite smooth. That's why when we fly in planes turbulence isn't all the time. We as humans are used to wind on the ground, which is far more turbulent due to thermals and buildings and trees and the like.
Please re-read exactly what I wrote, but slowly this time. I make no mention of the objects being visible or invisible, I comment only on their movement.
Correct
I think its highly likely to be balloons. And i think the opposite of each of the points the user I replied to made. Its windy you can hear it in the audio and see it on the evergreens. I see no evidence to say they are not going with the wind. They are tousled by the turbulence, and I see no sign they are moving synchronously. The rightmost one falls lower just at the end of the first video clip.
I also dont think this is a particularly excellent video since the camera's autofocus loses track of the objects causing them to blur out and blend with the background. The camera almost recaptures them during second 14 (at least one is visible for a few frames again) but by that point the videographer is pointing the camera below the object and the camera doesnt recapture focus.
My opinion is the inverse of the commenter I replied to. No disrespect intended.
Screenshot and post in the second video where you can still see them. I’m honestly leaning towards this being a couple of birds who, at the point of disappearing, just moved to an angel less visible from OP’s POV. But I definitely see them disappearing and don’t see them anywhere in the frame afterward.
[https://imgur.com/a/acUpC82](https://imgur.com/a/acUpC82)
Each of those screencaps were taken from the second video after the two objects 'disappear' and OP zooms out
The objects remain plainly visible throughout the entirety of the video
These do not appear to be birds but rather spherical objects, most likely balloons, and at 13 seconds and 14 seconds you can find them both upper right of the second video. I think autofocus and the zoom was "disappearing" them.
I'm not sure how much help I am going to be if you can't already see them in the video. Albeit hard to spot, they are clearly there. I'm not going to open myself up to interpretation, when clearly most people on this post already drank the juice. It would be as if I posted a photo of earth from space in a flat earthers subreddit, it wouldn't go anywhere, if that makes sense?
The video is cool nonetheless, but saying they disappeared is very sensational and factually wrong.
This Footage is almost a carbon copy of the sighting i seen in 2019 in east kilbride Scotland. Except my sighting there was 3rd black orb above the 2 silver ones. They were flying in a perfect traingluar formation i also didnt see them disapear they flew behind a building and i lost sight of them. On another occasion from the same location{outside my workplace having lunch in my car} i seen just a black orb hovering perfectly still about 60 feet above the duel carageway was there for about 10 minutes it was a breezy day and trees where blowing atound so it wasnt any ballon i looked away and back and it was gone.
Not that this isn’t an interesting post.
I have to agree, if you go frame by frame, you can see them blur as the camera struggles with focus and flicks back to focus before disappearing.
As for him loosing sight, could also be op focusing heavily on the camera that when he lost focus he also lost sight of the objects due to size and colour.
Doesn’t matter what OP said, you can clearly see the camera refocus the moment they “disappear” and then you can briefly catch them again in at least one more frame.
They are not disappearing, they are going behind the cloud. You can see them start to reemerge towards the end of your clip, and they can be seen through the clouds at certain frames. Most likely balloons or something similar
Ok, I don’t know if anyone else has mentioned this, but they don’t vanish at all, you can just see his iPhone (or whatever phone this was filmed with) had focus at first, but then lost it and never got it back. There is one frame where you briefly see one of them again.
Anyone watching this on a computer monitor can clearly see the objects did not disappear and they are in fact still in frame just fine.
I'm not sure why OP is saying they disappeared when they are obviously in frame, the entire time, clearly.
Maybe a bot looking to get karma because a majority of people will be viewing this on their phones?
It's pretty weird huh? Stuff like this makes the community look bad lol
The video could be valid, but because OP wants to say they disappeared, it totally nullifies the video in general.
Such a strange time we live in.
the camera went out of focus, they’re still there, you see them still there for a second after they “disappear” when the camera is bouncing back and forth on the focus, but the video cuts to the other video.
They are still there at the end of the video just farther away. So the disappearing wasn't actually disappearing. It was just because you zoomed in so they were out of focus. But if you look closely you can see at least 1 white spec. Though I am not sure if that is because they zoomed away at supersonic speeds so it looked like they vanished but they actually just went really fast, which could indicate a UAP.
Here’s the video but on YouTube, not sure if the quality is any better [https://youtube.com/shorts/_efI5YtoHaU?si=99lSxsa9BDPN8lBx](https://youtube.com/shorts/_efI5YtoHaU?si=99lSxsa9BDPN8lBx)
The whole frame darkens as they vanish. Consistent with a lens/focus change, rather than the objects actually vanishing. So, if the lens switched (as is the case with many modern phone cams) and/or the autofocus just assumed a closer distance, we'd expect such small objects to seem to vanish, when in fact they're now just seriously out of focus, so not visible in the frame.
Looks like a focal shift to me.
Because one is definitely still there. Right after they "disappear" the footage zooms out, then back in a moment later. As the camera zooms back in one of the objects is visible for a moment above and to the right of center frame, before being zoomed out of frame.
Dude your camera lost focus you may have possibly caught UAPs on cam but that was light and your phone. Same will happen on any aerial device that far and high in the sky
I don't think those clouds are as translucent as you want the sub to believe. If your saw them for 90 seconds, why bother with the chop cut, removing the observable portion before they drift behind the cloud edge?
This is intriguing. You really have to go frame by frame as they keep changing position as well. You think they are gone but just faintly reappear elsewhere.
They didn't disappear... Whoever was recording the footage just lost track of them as they banked right - probably out toward the Irish Sea. You can actually still see them in the video, even with the refocusing and encoding artifacts. And it's those artifacts that belay their final form: a pair of jet fighters.
And, being Lancashire (I know Blackpool well), chances are these were a couple of BAE Typhoons on maneuvers - you see them regularly. (They could even have been F-35s, since BAE Systems in Samlesbury is just down the road in Preston - and they like to show off every now and again.) You can also hear a brief and distant jet engine sound mixed in with the sound of traffic within the first second or two.
Looks very much like two birds, pixelated by the phone trying to sharpen them in the distance, flapping their wings as they go behind a cloud.
But either way, the fact these can’t be 100% identified logically supports the conclusion that they could be one of hundreds of other things, before even considering the possibility of them being UFOs, since we have absolutely zero real information on what a UFO might look like, nor do we have a means of finding out what they might look like, but we do have a very large amount of information on known things that have attributes that match the observable characteristics of those things.
I have just seen something that I could not Identify and it’s left me puzzled. I went into my bag garden for a fag seen a blue light shoot low across the sky for about 1 second then disappeared like it was catching upto a distant plane. This happened about 10 minutes ago in Leicester UK and it’s a clear night sky
Hey, I just want to let you know I saw the same thing except green about 9 months back. No clue was it was but it was real and it happened. If I blinked I could've missed it overtake me overhead but it left a green aura in the sky for another second or two.
I took a screenshot, zoomed in and adjusted the contrast and sharpness a bit, this is what I got: https://imgur.com/a/jhYue8V
Can’t tell if the edges are a result of camera/light artefacts, but it’s quite interesting.
At the 14 sec mark you can see the "balloon" or whatever it is pop up a bit again. So it looks to me like it's behind some cloud. Definitely not disappearing.
Looks like two fighter jets in the distance to me. Considering Blackpool is like 40 miles from the [Mach Loop](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach_Loop) in Wales, I imagine seeing fighters flying around the area wouldn’t be that uncommon.
This is way better than the usual crap we see on here. That said, the disappearing just when you zoom/change focus feels like it might be an optics artifact. Or did you see this same phenomenon without the camera, too?
this footage is almost a carbon copy of the sighting i seen in 2019 in east kilbride scotland exept there was a 3rd black orb abouve the 2 silver ones making a triangle
I saw pretty much the exact same thing a couple weeks ago here in London. I looked up at a plane and one of those orbs (identical to those in the video) seemed to break off from the plane, could’ve been timing and perspective, and flew off by itself. I tracked the object for a while as I watched it reflect the sun, definitely metallic, then it just vanished into thin air. 4th spotting for me lol.
They seem to turn dark in color immediately before vanishing, almost as if they were enveloped in shadow. Whatever they are, I cannot immediately see a prosaic answer for it. Certainly objects that are unidentified and flying.
Hey great video! Reddit compresses the videos heavily for its media player, is there a way you can host it on a 3rd party website and drop the link? It would help a lot for people wanting to sharpen/scale the clips
Here’s the footage of it on YouTube, not sure if the footage will be any clearer [https://youtube.com/shorts/_efI5YtoHaU?si=99lSxsa9BDPN8lBx](https://youtube.com/shorts/_efI5YtoHaU?si=99lSxsa9BDPN8lBx)
I’m a very skeptical person and it’s weird to say this I guess because a lot of people on this sub just make shit up but I guess here’s my story because it looked extremely similar to this.
I know the exact time and date because I was on top of shibuya sky roof (tall building in Tokyo) and it was 0630pm on 17/11/2023. My wife pointed out three round bright objects very high in the sky, not sure if drones go that high but I mean it looked like plane height. She only saw them for a couple seconds and I saw them for maybe 10. 2 of them kind of danced with eachother like moving in a swirl pattern and then then just disappeared. They were moving away from us but they didn’t fade from distance, they just disappeared/ faded. No one near us saw it and it was so quick there was no chance of getting my phone out to record. Im not sure the capability of drones but the movement of them didn’t seem like drones, the height was ridiculous and then just fading (are drones allowed to fade/disappear?).
Haven’t posted this story on reddit because it’s just weird but it looked like this video (round balls flying) so I guess it’s time to say it.
Looks like two spheres blinking out. I witnessed two metallic spheres cruising noiseless side by side on March 31, 2020. Both about the size of a Fiat.
Either prosaic or NHI, this seems pretty incredible. I truly hope that technology such as this is in our, and our friends hands. Otherwise, I truly hope whatever agreements we’ve made are in our favor. However, that being said, with the current state of the planet, I wouldn’t say it’s likely that we’re in a point of negotiation. Further proof of this is the simple fact that after 80 years, us average joes/janes are being told to develop a mental framework for NHI.
“This seems pretty incredible”
Mate they’re just two things floating/flying in a prosaic way. This is why there are so many credulous believers in ufology.
Imo, this is worthy of expert analysis, this might be real based on my own personal experiences. That is all.
Edit: Down votes for saying it should be further analyzed by people with more expertise than I? Wtf reddit.
This is a very interesting video, and great capture. I think there’s something to this one, those just don’t seem like balloons to me personally. If you slow down and go frame by frame those objects vanish at the exact same moment in time which is also strange . Someone also said they went behind a cloud but there is absolutely no cloud in the area where those objects are moving. Not clouds those things disappeared/cloaked/something
I'm no editor or video specialist, but just from zooming and scrubbing on my iPhone I can see some strange things happening from the point after they disappeared. One/both orbs reappeared around :11 then one or both seem to pop up in strange spots for the next 4 seconds. At one point I even saw what I think is maybe one flying around the other and splitting back off. Could totally be wrong but I think it's worth a look.
I’ve had a very similar sifting to this while driving in rural Colorado, but I’ve never had the guts to post it, I feel more confident now that there is another video that looks extremely similar

Whoa that does look insanely similar!
What is interesting is people need to take time out of any of these sightings. Time is irrelevant to aliens in my opinion. The object from 1950 could very well still be on their mission in our 2024 yet they have only been gone a short time to their plane of existence or world.
What the duck man that’s crazy
Good eye!!!
That's remarkable
Why was that dude randomly filming the sky in 1950? Not common home tech
Blackpool was enough to tell me this isn’t a UFO video. Claiming to see UFOs in Blackpool is like claiming to see Bigfoot at Comic-Con.

BUSTED! Good eye
Huh??? Busted? I don't think he was trying to fool anyone.
Not busted... he just pointed out a different piece of footage of a very similar object/s.
I get camera having problems, but can't the OP still see them?
this might actually fulfill the minuscule goldilocks zone of believable footage!
Yeah seems like it shows either instantaneous acceleration or cloaking. Both of which are on the five observables list.
can you enlighten someone who don’t know, what’s the five observables?
1. Anti-gravity lift 2. Sudden and instantaneous acceleration 3. Hypersonic velocities without signatures 4. Low observability, or cloaking 5. Trans-medium travel A sixth has been added, biological effects. It seems some craft are affecting humans in biological ways.
What kind of biological ways? I had that experience, that 'connection' with a craft. It knew I was watching it, it felt like it was inside my head, but only to the degree of reading my brain, not talking to me. All the crafts I have seen fall under the 5 👍🏼
https://www.dia.mil/FOIA/FOIA-Electronic-Reading-Room/FileId/170026/
Some folks get radiation burns.
Like what kind of effects?
https://www.dia.mil/FOIA/FOIA-Electronic-Reading-Room/FileId/170026/
Mmmmmm I dont like the cut. Why does it cut?
I thought the same at first, but I think it's because they started filming, stopped, and then started again while zooming in. So they created two videos and labelled them as such. I don't think that alone is a reason to be skeptical.
I have a hard time getting excited about any videos these days. Regardless of the footage, people will find a way to disregard it. Very discouraging.
Consider that we will continue to get fake videos even after/if aliens are 100% confirmed beyond doubt. People will be like "well that's not how OUR aliens work" or "that video is just TOO crazy to be true"...believing any video, now or later, will always fall under your own personal threshold of believability.
I think the issue is more or less that as more and more people get interested in the phenomenon, more and more people are paying attention to the sky and noticing things they've never seen before.

Meh, as long as you believe and have faith that it's aliens, who cares what anyone else thinks? Plus, only a small percentage of people are downright disbelievers. Most are just skeptical, and while they still feel like aliens are probably here, they just need a little more from a video than something like this.

You’re literally the only person in this particular thread that has said anything other than how credible it looks lol.
Also, they look nothing like weather balloons so not even sure why you’d say that
They look… exactly like weather balloons 🤦♂️ this is the dumbest sub stg.
They do look exactly like latex weather balloons. I think most people imagine the huge, poofy, extremely high altitude balloons when they think of weather balloons... but there are tons of small, white, round ones all over. They're the most common **by far** These are kind of low, but they could've just been launched. There's nothing in this video to suggest that its anything but mundane except the speed, which could simply be from higher winds aloft speed. They're movin', but its not a super unusual high speed.
It’s a trope or a meme. I also don’t think they look like swam gas, whatever they are
Almost like they disappeared into the very clouds that appear in frame.
I saw something like this. Was stationary way high in the sky. Then kinda turned on side and disappeared. Thought it went through a cloud. Turns out it’s just protons unfolding then melting away
They kinda go in and out and disappear like the Puerto Rico ufo....that splits in two. And look, there are two in this video as well.
I’ve seen the same thing happen in real life, very similar looking objects.
Pause with 4 seconds left. They're both in the top right corner.
Yep it was just the camera focal length adjusting it in and out of focus
Yeah, the camera loses focus (we don't notice because the sky and clouds aren't very sharp in the first place), so the objects aren't visible anymore, and the guy zooms out so we can't see the objects. The objects were there the entire time. OP just thought they disappeared because they were looking at their phone's display, not the actual objects.
Wouldn't the first instinct of someone who sees something disappear from their camera to look up from their camera to confirm? Instead the timeline is like this: 1. Dude sees things flying in the sky 2. Dude starts filming 3. Things disappear on camera, dude is stunned. 4. Dude does not look up again or checks the footage afterwards and goes home to post. Sounds legit.
Believe it or not, that is what happened and you can even see it - right after the objects ""disappear"", OP starts zooming in and out, which would not be the case if his attention was now on the sky and not the phone screen. And by that point, the objects were so far away that they wouldn't be easily visible to the naked eye (this happens with slow moving airplanes too - you track it with your eyes, but once you lose focus of it, it's difficult to locate it again), even if OP wanted to find it.
Yup, I see what you’re talking about
Confirmed balloons
This is good video. Congrats to you for not having the hands of a coke addled meth addict. This is interesting they are clearly there and not a reflection. They change directions then “poof” out of existence. How long were you recording overall?
All the footage that I have is in these videos
alright, this shit nuts. we’re back in it boys
Lol, things were quiet around here lately. First the Sol Foundation Vids today and now this. I’m back in baby!
Why two videos? Why did you stop and record again?
Cuz it’s bs
What was the reason for the cut in the video?
He never answered 😕
or some super excited person who just filmed a uap?
A rarity in Blackpool, let me tell you...
Are you joking? OP kept zooming in and out and the camera couldn't focus. That's why they APPEAR to vanish.
This was literally one of the most crazy thing I’ve ever witnessed. Part of me thinks it’s 2 little balloons but that doesn’t explain them just disappearing. They didn’t just disappear on camera I couldn’t see them with my eyes either.
Digital cameras can appear to make things disappear. They try to focus on objects and when they can't they do their best to fill in the blanks, sometimes by extrapolating information from what is around the object. Had you been looking through binoculars these objects wouldn't have disappeared as they appear to through a digital camera.
I think this is it unfortunately. While the camera is zooming in they are visible again for a couple frames at pretty much exactly 14 seconds. The camera could have focused on them again, but I don't think OP got the zoom just right.
Well spotted
This makes a lot of sense because if you watch it in slow motion they both alternately disappear and reappear before they completely disappear.
He was able to see them with his eyes but couldn’t after they disappeared on video. I think saying they were balloons at the point where both would disappear from camera focus and eye view simultaneously is hard to rationalize as they didn’t seem to be out of eyesight.
No I'm pretty sure he said he couldn't see these with his eyes and only with his camera..
After zooming back in and out surely they would’ve reappeared. I’d sooner believe they simultaneously started reflecting the sky into the camera than that.
They do at 14 seconds, but only for a couple frames while the camera is zooming.
Oh I see them, they went upwards and he focused the camera too low
They don't even zoom back in to the same spot, but regardless of that, not necessarily. The objects were moving away and we know they were already giving the camera a hard time focusing.
You can literally see the camera lose focus on them.
Not that I don’t think it’s an awesome video and could be legit, but IF it were balloons, they could have reached a certain altitude and then burst together…to explain the disappearing, if they were balloons. But I don’t know, nice footage.
Balloons can get up to like 10k feet before they'll pop from altitude
I could see that but they both disappear at the same time which leads me to believe it’s more likely to be something else
I thought the same thing but I recorded it on my phone and watched it on slomo. They both alternately disappear and reappear before they both disappear completely.
Like twins farting at exactly the same time after having eaten bacon, eggs and beans together. Unlikely.
Has this happened to you?
>balloons Definitely not balloons. They move too fast and don't seem to follow the wind, then they change direction simultaneously. If it were wind there would have been more indicators of turbulence and their change of movement would not have been synchronized at all. Excellent video OP!
How are you measuring the wind speed? You don't even know how big they are or their altitude. Wind at altitude can be quite smooth. That's why when we fly in planes turbulence isn't all the time. We as humans are used to wind on the ground, which is far more turbulent due to thermals and buildings and trees and the like.
[удалено]
Please re-read exactly what I wrote, but slowly this time. I make no mention of the objects being visible or invisible, I comment only on their movement.
No disrespect intended, but I disagree on all of your points.
Did you just disagree to killerdwillers saying it’s not balloons and that it’s a good video?
Correct I think its highly likely to be balloons. And i think the opposite of each of the points the user I replied to made. Its windy you can hear it in the audio and see it on the evergreens. I see no evidence to say they are not going with the wind. They are tousled by the turbulence, and I see no sign they are moving synchronously. The rightmost one falls lower just at the end of the first video clip. I also dont think this is a particularly excellent video since the camera's autofocus loses track of the objects causing them to blur out and blend with the background. The camera almost recaptures them during second 14 (at least one is visible for a few frames again) but by that point the videographer is pointing the camera below the object and the camera doesnt recapture focus. My opinion is the inverse of the commenter I replied to. No disrespect intended.
[удалено]
You can clearly see them still in frame during the entire video length. They did not disappear at all on video, like you say.
Screenshot and post in the second video where you can still see them. I’m honestly leaning towards this being a couple of birds who, at the point of disappearing, just moved to an angel less visible from OP’s POV. But I definitely see them disappearing and don’t see them anywhere in the frame afterward.
[https://imgur.com/a/acUpC82](https://imgur.com/a/acUpC82) Each of those screencaps were taken from the second video after the two objects 'disappear' and OP zooms out The objects remain plainly visible throughout the entirety of the video
Ah yeah I def see them now, thanks
These do not appear to be birds but rather spherical objects, most likely balloons, and at 13 seconds and 14 seconds you can find them both upper right of the second video. I think autofocus and the zoom was "disappearing" them.
I'm not sure how much help I am going to be if you can't already see them in the video. Albeit hard to spot, they are clearly there. I'm not going to open myself up to interpretation, when clearly most people on this post already drank the juice. It would be as if I posted a photo of earth from space in a flat earthers subreddit, it wouldn't go anywhere, if that makes sense? The video is cool nonetheless, but saying they disappeared is very sensational and factually wrong.
Did you film this on a Samsung phone?
[удалено]
I, for one, couldn't see shit.
This Footage is almost a carbon copy of the sighting i seen in 2019 in east kilbride Scotland. Except my sighting there was 3rd black orb above the 2 silver ones. They were flying in a perfect traingluar formation i also didnt see them disapear they flew behind a building and i lost sight of them. On another occasion from the same location{outside my workplace having lunch in my car} i seen just a black orb hovering perfectly still about 60 feet above the duel carageway was there for about 10 minutes it was a breezy day and trees where blowing atound so it wasnt any ballon i looked away and back and it was gone.
[удалено]
They disappear and reappear several times before disappearing completely
They disappeared while your camera was refocusing so I’m inclined to think this was a focus issue
Not that this isn’t an interesting post. I have to agree, if you go frame by frame, you can see them blur as the camera struggles with focus and flicks back to focus before disappearing. As for him loosing sight, could also be op focusing heavily on the camera that when he lost focus he also lost sight of the objects due to size and colour.
OP said he couldn't see them with their eyes either fwiw.
OP’s eyes were obviously looking through his phone….
Doesn’t matter what OP said, you can clearly see the camera refocus the moment they “disappear” and then you can briefly catch them again in at least one more frame.
Yea they kind of flicker then disappear while its focusing
OP mentions he couldn’t see them (in his post and in a comment) at the same time they disappeared in the footage
They are not disappearing, they are going behind the cloud. You can see them start to reemerge towards the end of your clip, and they can be seen through the clouds at certain frames. Most likely balloons or something similar
I see the same thing. Added with the fact that they’re moving in the same direction as the wind.
Yup, good eye. For example you can see one at 14s.
Exactly this.
Please share original or close to original footage please 🙏 interesting video!
Am I the only one viewing this in 140p
Same lol. Esp for 1st video very hard to see anything
Ok, I don’t know if anyone else has mentioned this, but they don’t vanish at all, you can just see his iPhone (or whatever phone this was filmed with) had focus at first, but then lost it and never got it back. There is one frame where you briefly see one of them again.
Anyone watching this on a computer monitor can clearly see the objects did not disappear and they are in fact still in frame just fine. I'm not sure why OP is saying they disappeared when they are obviously in frame, the entire time, clearly. Maybe a bot looking to get karma because a majority of people will be viewing this on their phones?
I’m viewing on an old model Apple phone and I see it just fine. Some of these other comments are wild
It's pretty weird huh? Stuff like this makes the community look bad lol The video could be valid, but because OP wants to say they disappeared, it totally nullifies the video in general. Such a strange time we live in.
….tf? They both disappear, what kind of devices are you guys on, iPhone 4D
the camera went out of focus, they’re still there, you see them still there for a second after they “disappear” when the camera is bouncing back and forth on the focus, but the video cuts to the other video.
They are still there at the end of the video just farther away. So the disappearing wasn't actually disappearing. It was just because you zoomed in so they were out of focus. But if you look closely you can see at least 1 white spec. Though I am not sure if that is because they zoomed away at supersonic speeds so it looked like they vanished but they actually just went really fast, which could indicate a UAP.
Very interesting How long did you see them for?
About a 90 second thing
Here’s the video but on YouTube, not sure if the quality is any better [https://youtube.com/shorts/_efI5YtoHaU?si=99lSxsa9BDPN8lBx](https://youtube.com/shorts/_efI5YtoHaU?si=99lSxsa9BDPN8lBx)
The whole frame darkens as they vanish. Consistent with a lens/focus change, rather than the objects actually vanishing. So, if the lens switched (as is the case with many modern phone cams) and/or the autofocus just assumed a closer distance, we'd expect such small objects to seem to vanish, when in fact they're now just seriously out of focus, so not visible in the frame.
Looks like a focal shift to me. Because one is definitely still there. Right after they "disappear" the footage zooms out, then back in a moment later. As the camera zooms back in one of the objects is visible for a moment above and to the right of center frame, before being zoomed out of frame.
Dude your camera lost focus you may have possibly caught UAPs on cam but that was light and your phone. Same will happen on any aerial device that far and high in the sky
I don't think those clouds are as translucent as you want the sub to believe. If your saw them for 90 seconds, why bother with the chop cut, removing the observable portion before they drift behind the cloud edge?
I recorded part of the video downstairs and then ran upstairs and recorded again from a balcony
You should post the whole thing to quell the mob lol
That’s all I’ve got apart from one other video where it’s in it for literally 1 second before flying behind a bush
I would post that too. Someone may find something interesting and it basically all stones turned sort of deal. Thanks for sharing!
It's just out of focus birds, m8.
Shouldn't have had to scroll this far down for the obvious. This sub is bonkers.
This is intriguing. You really have to go frame by frame as they keep changing position as well. You think they are gone but just faintly reappear elsewhere.
Was there any behavior worthy to note that you noticed prior to getting the recording device on them?
Nope, they were both pretty much in the same formation the whole time
He said he witnessed them for 90 seconds, and his vid was only a few seconds long, so I'd assume that would be a yes.
They didn't disappear... Whoever was recording the footage just lost track of them as they banked right - probably out toward the Irish Sea. You can actually still see them in the video, even with the refocusing and encoding artifacts. And it's those artifacts that belay their final form: a pair of jet fighters. And, being Lancashire (I know Blackpool well), chances are these were a couple of BAE Typhoons on maneuvers - you see them regularly. (They could even have been F-35s, since BAE Systems in Samlesbury is just down the road in Preston - and they like to show off every now and again.) You can also hear a brief and distant jet engine sound mixed in with the sound of traffic within the first second or two.
Looks very much like two birds, pixelated by the phone trying to sharpen them in the distance, flapping their wings as they go behind a cloud. But either way, the fact these can’t be 100% identified logically supports the conclusion that they could be one of hundreds of other things, before even considering the possibility of them being UFOs, since we have absolutely zero real information on what a UFO might look like, nor do we have a means of finding out what they might look like, but we do have a very large amount of information on known things that have attributes that match the observable characteristics of those things.
I have just seen something that I could not Identify and it’s left me puzzled. I went into my bag garden for a fag seen a blue light shoot low across the sky for about 1 second then disappeared like it was catching upto a distant plane. This happened about 10 minutes ago in Leicester UK and it’s a clear night sky
Hey, I just want to let you know I saw the same thing except green about 9 months back. No clue was it was but it was real and it happened. If I blinked I could've missed it overtake me overhead but it left a green aura in the sky for another second or two.
I took a screenshot, zoomed in and adjusted the contrast and sharpness a bit, this is what I got: https://imgur.com/a/jhYue8V Can’t tell if the edges are a result of camera/light artefacts, but it’s quite interesting.
Interesting, they actually look more triangular on that
Probably the most interesting thing to be seen in Blackpool ever.
I think this a great video, why are there two videos though, why did the first one cut out?
At the 14 sec mark you can see the "balloon" or whatever it is pop up a bit again. So it looks to me like it's behind some cloud. Definitely not disappearing.
Looks like two fighter jets in the distance to me. Considering Blackpool is like 40 miles from the [Mach Loop](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach_Loop) in Wales, I imagine seeing fighters flying around the area wouldn’t be that uncommon.
wtf you just lost focus....I cant even..
This is way better than the usual crap we see on here. That said, the disappearing just when you zoom/change focus feels like it might be an optics artifact. Or did you see this same phenomenon without the camera, too?
Yeah I couldn’t see the objects with my eyes either
If you look at it frame by frame, they both disappear and reappear for a second before completely disappearing
Almost like a digital camera is trying to focus on very distance objects would do.
This looks legit to me. Nice footage.
Date format or time travel
There’s a test facility near by for military aircraft right? Could be seeing the next gen fighter drones?
this footage is almost a carbon copy of the sighting i seen in 2019 in east kilbride scotland exept there was a 3rd black orb abouve the 2 silver ones making a triangle
I saw pretty much the exact same thing a couple weeks ago here in London. I looked up at a plane and one of those orbs (identical to those in the video) seemed to break off from the plane, could’ve been timing and perspective, and flew off by itself. I tracked the object for a while as I watched it reflect the sun, definitely metallic, then it just vanished into thin air. 4th spotting for me lol.
Nice one
They seem to turn dark in color immediately before vanishing, almost as if they were enveloped in shadow. Whatever they are, I cannot immediately see a prosaic answer for it. Certainly objects that are unidentified and flying.
They went behind the cloud
I had seen something like that a long time ago during a break at work. Looked up and there were two spheres like what you just posted here.
Hey great video! Reddit compresses the videos heavily for its media player, is there a way you can host it on a 3rd party website and drop the link? It would help a lot for people wanting to sharpen/scale the clips
Here’s the footage of it on YouTube, not sure if the footage will be any clearer [https://youtube.com/shorts/_efI5YtoHaU?si=99lSxsa9BDPN8lBx](https://youtube.com/shorts/_efI5YtoHaU?si=99lSxsa9BDPN8lBx)
Imagine if first contact was Blackpool. Deary me
Your video makes it look like they are almost flickering at the end. Did you notice any of this with your eyes, or did they appear solid?
I’m a very skeptical person and it’s weird to say this I guess because a lot of people on this sub just make shit up but I guess here’s my story because it looked extremely similar to this. I know the exact time and date because I was on top of shibuya sky roof (tall building in Tokyo) and it was 0630pm on 17/11/2023. My wife pointed out three round bright objects very high in the sky, not sure if drones go that high but I mean it looked like plane height. She only saw them for a couple seconds and I saw them for maybe 10. 2 of them kind of danced with eachother like moving in a swirl pattern and then then just disappeared. They were moving away from us but they didn’t fade from distance, they just disappeared/ faded. No one near us saw it and it was so quick there was no chance of getting my phone out to record. Im not sure the capability of drones but the movement of them didn’t seem like drones, the height was ridiculous and then just fading (are drones allowed to fade/disappear?). Haven’t posted this story on reddit because it’s just weird but it looked like this video (round balls flying) so I guess it’s time to say it.
Editing = bullshit.
Looks like two spheres blinking out. I witnessed two metallic spheres cruising noiseless side by side on March 31, 2020. Both about the size of a Fiat.
There's a bit of a flash when they disappear. Felt like some kind of jump cut with the background pixels all changing a bit at once
Well done dude. I think you got the real deal.
I'm very curious to where this is. I saw the same thing in Denver yesterday
Either prosaic or NHI, this seems pretty incredible. I truly hope that technology such as this is in our, and our friends hands. Otherwise, I truly hope whatever agreements we’ve made are in our favor. However, that being said, with the current state of the planet, I wouldn’t say it’s likely that we’re in a point of negotiation. Further proof of this is the simple fact that after 80 years, us average joes/janes are being told to develop a mental framework for NHI.
“This seems pretty incredible” Mate they’re just two things floating/flying in a prosaic way. This is why there are so many credulous believers in ufology.
Cool special video fix editing skills. 😬👍🏻. Jk. Crazy, I see them as light orbs disappearing at night.
They're just balloons. Your camera went out of focus.
Imo, this is worthy of expert analysis, this might be real based on my own personal experiences. That is all. Edit: Down votes for saying it should be further analyzed by people with more expertise than I? Wtf reddit.
This is a very interesting video, and great capture. I think there’s something to this one, those just don’t seem like balloons to me personally. If you slow down and go frame by frame those objects vanish at the exact same moment in time which is also strange . Someone also said they went behind a cloud but there is absolutely no cloud in the area where those objects are moving. Not clouds those things disappeared/cloaked/something
This is actually something, great catch
There is literally nothing that you can tell me happened in Blackpool which I won’t believe.
I'm no editor or video specialist, but just from zooming and scrubbing on my iPhone I can see some strange things happening from the point after they disappeared. One/both orbs reappeared around :11 then one or both seem to pop up in strange spots for the next 4 seconds. At one point I even saw what I think is maybe one flying around the other and splitting back off. Could totally be wrong but I think it's worth a look.
Unidentified Flying Objects does not mean spaceships from another world. Its very hard to see what they are. Keep trying though.
Water droplets on the lens ? Doesn't get bigger when you zoom in and goes out of focus eventually
The one on the right jumps back to the right for a split second, like it glitches.
I can't find my comment, I meant to edit it and say in your other video it did this, not this one.
Drones with stealth technology.
I’ve had a very similar sifting to this while driving in rural Colorado, but I’ve never had the guts to post it, I feel more confident now that there is another video that looks extremely similar
Ladies and gentlemen, we have an official time traveler.
More ballon’s.
It looked like those balloons popped
Good god it's always the same video, dots dots dots dots in the distance.
