NEW YORK, BRONX (ORDO News) — A mysterious video released by the American Association for UFO Research (AARO) earlier this year has raised many questions. Video footage showed an unidentified metal ball moving at high speed over some buildings in the Middle East. Public discussion of the video began in April in a Senate committee when Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick of the Office of Anomaly Resolution introduced the video.
At the time, the video footage caused great intrigue, as it seemed to many to be proof of the existence of UFOs and their official recognition by the US government.
“This is typical of what we see most often,” Kirkpatrick said. “We see this all over the world, and we see them doing very interesting obvious maneuvers.”
Kirkpatrick also added: “However, I can note that this case in particular did not demonstrate any mysterious technical capabilities and did not pose a threat to aviation safety.”
However, over time, the situation began to change. A group of investigative journalists known as Bellingcat has provided a new look at this mysterious situation. Their conclusion was unexpected.
According to Bellingcat, the object captured in the video is not an alien ship or something supernatural. This object, in their opinion, is an ordinary balloon.
To confirm their theory, investigative journalists conducted a detailed analysis of the video. They attempted to calculate the object’s size, speed, and distance traveled based on the relative speed and altitude of the drone that captured the video.
Based on their calculations, if the object was at an altitude of approximately 600 meters, then its speed did not exceed 43 km/h. Such parameters, in their opinion, may well correspond to the movement of the balloon.
In addition, it should be taken into account that the observation took place during one of the main Islamic holidays. The use of balloons is not unusual during this holiday. This is a fact that may have influenced the interpretation of the event.
The question of the existence of UFOs and their official recognition by the US government remains unanswered. While the idea of alien ships may be exciting, we may just be looking at a holiday balloon.
