Deranged Rhino Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 DISCLAIMER: Despite the thread, and my proclivity for this stuff (in reality and in jest), I'll state at the front that I'm not making any conclusions on this yet. If I were, ET would be far down the list (for now ). Forgive the ****ty camera work and editing. That out of the way... a little set up of what you're looking at: These are 7 videos put together that stretch between 7:06pm - 7:22pm yesterday. I first noticed these things in the sky while walking out to my car around 6:50pm. There were a dozen or so, high up, and looked to be moving like balloons or lanterns. Living close to the beach and the Pier, I see a lot of balloons and lanterns so I'm familiar with them. Anyway, I ignored them at first because I was in a hurry to make a call from the car. By the time I finished (around 7:00) and walked back down the path the numbers of them in the sky increased by another couple dozen - AND there were a number of them quite low to the ground. At this point I thought: Advertising stunt of some kind (we get those a lot in LA too). It wasn't until I got back to my door that I saw a whole "fleet" of them coming in on what looked like a flight path (disclosure: we are close-ish to LAX and I'm familiar with the flight paths - you'll see a number of planes in the video). As if they were coming from the upper atmosphere (over the Pacific) and down towards Pico Blvd essentially. At this point I thought "skydivers" or "flares"... and went inside and grabbed my binocs. Now... because we're family here I'll share this: I felt like a giant !@#$ing !@#$ standing outside in daylight with my binocs and camera phone. So I stayed in a path area rather than out on the street. When I looked through the binocs (I have two pair, one with a stabilizer one with extra magnification) I expected to see lanterns, flares, balloons, or even drones or skydivers. Instead what I saw were sparkling rings of smoke that had some shape and apparent structure, but they spun like tops in the sky as they moved. They almost had a jellyfish type body that seemed to pulse and was translucent. Once I pulled out the binocs and saw this, four "zoomers" (what I called them) buzzed down from the sky (above the palm tree in the long shots for reference) and skimmed the roof of the building directly in front of me. They were silent, and moved incredibly fast (way too fast, as you'll see) to be a lantern or balloons - and then they climbed in elevation after buzzing the roof. I was alone, though my neighbor saw it as well. I should have gotten more people outside to be honest. Mistake on my part. But these clips in the video are broken up because I was going back and forth between filming and watching through the binocs. I stated this in the video, but will say it again for 4mer, this video does NOT do justice to how many of them there were in the sky. It was a constant flow, on a "flight path" seemingly of these things for 30 minutes or longer. It lasted a long time, and had to be seen by more than me. I slowed some of the clips down at the end, the one zoomer I got and another slow motion vid of how they move in the sky (you'll see it tumbling @ the 1:51-1:57 mark). Time stamps: * First thirty seconds are kind of tough, showing the higher altitude ones that had just buzzed me * :40 second mark you see some new ones coming in, lower and closer. * :55-:57 mark you can kind of see the movement (like balloons) as well as the pulsing. * 1:51 - 1:57 mark you will see one moving across the top, spinning, it gives you some of the shape * 2:11-2:17 mark you can see more movement (these are new ones, not the same as the ones above) * 3:15-3:26 mark good shot of one close, moments after it buzzed the path I was standing on, moves like balloons... but way faster and they're glowing. * 3:33-3:52 mark has another one dipping low, then a zoomer (the only one I got on film, but there were several others) that flew past real fast. This one is slowed down at the end and zoomed in as best I could. *4:35-5:21 mark has three more coming in on the "flight path". By that I mean, you see how they're high in altitude and moving lower. That's how most of them came in, in a straight line from that high altitude and then down where they spread out, then reformed into a line and moved on at a lower altitude. This also includes the description of these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I can see why you tried to break into the entertainment industry as a writer and not a cameraman No question. or...were you It was just odd. I still think it was a PR thing, but nothing on any social media that I've seen so far about it. So you live in the second largest city in the United States and given your posting history here you hang out with some of the battschitt crazy conspiracy crew. Did anyone else observe the event? There had to be tons of people who saw this, which is the odd thing. It was the end of rush hour and the direction they were going was over several of the busiest intersections in west LA. My neighbor saw it - I only know that because while I went back inside to get the second pair of binocs I heard her exclaim "what the !@#$ are those?" and then she kept walking. My mistake was not getting her to come back out. No one was at my place, my other neighbor wasn't home, so I couldn't get another set of eyes on it directly. If they were drones, they were !@#$ing cool. I just know they weren't balloons or lanterns even though my first thought when I saw them was exactly that based on how they moved and reflected the sun. It wasn't until I looked through the binocs that I saw they weren't reflecting the sun, they were pulsing. But I couldn't make out a structure, like I said it looked like smoke or a jellyfish but it had structure if that makes any sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is plotting to shove Carl and I quote "so far up that geeks behind that she will chew her way out of his eardrum". I don't like the trade either but I feel bad for Carl. Anyway for now I will just point out that the quote I left in reminded me of the "old man gets back into the dating scene" thread because I'm pretty sure John envisioned the involvement of a "pulsing balloon" on his date that never happened.

Based on how many there where and their "flight path", if they were skydivers they would have been landing on one of LA's busiest streets in the middle of rush hour.

Well, throughout the video they got lower and relatively faster (from your vantage point). Those guys are trained to come in fast and land in specific locations.

It's more fun egging on Greggggy than to point out the most logical explanation I'm looking for the most logical explanation:) If it had been skydivers, there would have been at least 50 of them. The only spot to land close to me that isn't in the middle of a major street would be the Santa Monica Airport or the golf course. But any news reports/coverage of that happening hasn't appeared in any paper or local news report that I've managed to find. The other oddity if we're going to say skydivers, is the fact the ones that buzzed low re-gained altitude after doing so. The first shots of the video of the ones wayyyy up in the air were only moments before skimming the treeline. Is that something Skydivers can typically do?

Other possibilities: Drone prototype testing. Unknown science experiment. This is all in good fun, don't worry. Especially in this thread. You can say anything you wish to me (or about me) I know it's just goofing and I don't take it seriously:) I'll answer these though because I sincerely am looking to explain what I saw (and ET is far down my list): 1. I say at least 50 because that's how many I saw over the 30+ minutes of this sighting. The video is a collection of 7 videos strung together, it doesn't give a good sense of the scale of how many these were because I am a bad photog and was too busy looking through my binoculars to film continuously. I think there were over 50 of these things, but 50 is a conservative floor. They were coming from high altitude (over the large palm tree in the video shots for reference) which is out over the ocean, and moving inland. When I saw their flight path, skydivers is what I thought (or flares) because it would make sense... but then others just kind of showed up (from the same direction, just from a much lower angle). 2. I'm real close to the Santa Monica airport so that's what I thought as well. But it's one of the busiest private airports in the country and I was watching the private jets on their flight paths into the airport while this was happening (meaning they didn't seem to be clearing the airspace for them to land - the airport isn't big by any stretch). The biggest reason I doubt this is because I think it would have made the news (or social media) by now. Then again, ETs landing would have too you imagine. Either way, it's been radio silence. 3. It's earthquake country here so we're prepared for a few days of having to survive in the rubble. My ladyfriend won't let me get any weapons (and I'm a non-violent kind of guy anyway) but I got my version of Lucille handy if needs be. 4. Drones is still what I think could be the answer. I don't know how to describe what they looked like when I was seeing them in the binocs. I was able to see the ones lower to the ground pretty clearly, with an image stabilizer. It really looked like flares at first because of the smoke. There were two rings of smoke, one inside the other, and the smoke was clear, almost like a jellyfish in translucence, and inside the smoke were twinkle lights, they looked exactly like twinkle lights on a christmas tree. The other thing I'll note in the video, towards the middle when I get some of the lower ones that appear to be reflecting the sun - they're not reflecting the sun. They're pulsing. With the naked eye I thought they were reflecting the sun, it wasn't until you put the binocs on them that you saw the pulses clearly emanating from them. I really expected to have heard this was some sort of viral marketing campaign by now to be honest. We get those a lot. But those usually have a pretty loud social media presence when they happen.

Finally got to watch. Sammy and Ennifer thing STILL not resolved though. Observations: 1. Cosmic84 is a bad screen name. Generally combining your hobby and IQ into a screen name is a bad look. I still regret Broadspayme216. 2. Please invest 3. Another good idea. 4. I think skydivers and the effects were reflections but you may have seen more that didn't really show up on camera. Drones not out of the question. Also i did not totally eliminate the possibility of......wait for it.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
