Transcript

00:00What are your thoughts on this, I don't even know how to pronounce it, Mosul orb?

00:06Is it Mosul? I'm not sure how to pronounce it.

00:08Yeah, Mosul.

00:09Mosul, okay.

00:10Yeah, it's a town in Iraq, near Baghdad, just north of Baghdad.

00:13It looks like a balloon to me.

00:15It's moving like a balloon.

00:17What I was able to do, we had the photo that came out earlier,

00:21and now we just got the video.

00:22The video has the on-screen data redacted,

00:26and the photo actually has the information on it,

00:30so it actually has the location on the photo in the bottom right corner.

00:35It's in military format, but you can convert it.

00:37You can actually just type that into Google Earth,

00:39and it will take you to the location.

00:41We have other things in there.

00:43We have the distance to the target,

00:48which I think is about 26,000 feet or something like that,

00:51and we have the altitude of the plane itself.

00:53I can't remember what it was exactly,

00:56but so I took these,

00:57and I put them all into my software, SitRec,

01:00and put a plane moving along,

01:03and then I built a little 3D model of the houses

01:06and dropped that in as well,

01:08and we also have the date and the time

01:12in the top right corner, top left corner.

01:16Put that in as well,

01:17so we know exactly when it was.

01:18We know where it was.

01:19We know roughly where the plane taking it was,

01:21because we know the distance and the heading.

01:23We know roughly how fast it's moving

01:26because we have the rotation

01:27and the buildings rotate very slightly,

01:29and I dropped all that in.

01:32The first thing you notice is

01:33that if you drop a sphere in that location,

01:39the highlight on the sphere is exactly the same

01:42as the highlight on the sphere in the video,

01:44which means a couple of things.

01:46It means that it is actually a sphere,

01:47and it is actually that time of day.

01:50The time of day is correct,

01:52and it means that I have the plane in the right location,

01:56and then we see that the lines of sight,

01:58it's a very, very narrow field of view.

01:59It's like half a degree or something like that,

02:01so they're actually like five miles away

02:03from this house that they're videoing,

02:05and the lines of sight kind of cross over,

02:09so there's actually a point in the middle

02:10of the lines of sight which isn't moving,

02:11so you can actually stick a balloon there

02:14and say if a balloon was just standing here in space,

02:19the parallax motion of the craft

02:21would make it look like it whizzed through the frame.

02:25Oh, that's interesting.

02:26So the balloon or the object

02:29could be just standing still.

02:31Yeah, essentially.

02:32It wouldn't, if it's at that exact point,

02:35it would actually stay in the same position,

02:37but actually, no, it wouldn't.

02:39The, oh yeah, the, what seems to be

02:45the most likely explanation is

02:46that it's something drifting in the wind

02:48at about 10 miles per hour,

02:49so what I did, you get all these lines of sight

02:51from these, putting these numbers in,

02:53and I have some algorithms in SITREC

02:58that actually try to solve a possible traversal path

03:02across these lines of sight,

03:03so we know that it goes from this position on screen

03:06to this position, what does that mean in three dimensions?

03:08And I found, like, a good solution

03:10moving about 10 miles per hour,

03:12and it was moving towards the southeast.

03:17And so I actually went,

03:18after I found that,

03:20I went and looked at what the wind was

03:22on that day,

03:24and it turns out it was about 10 miles per hour

03:28towards the southeast.

03:30So it matches exactly for the time of day,

03:34the location, the weather,

03:36and being a balloon just floating in the air.

03:40Just floating, yeah, just floating by.

03:42There's nothing in it that's inconsistent

03:45with it being a balloon.

03:47Like what kind of balloon?

03:48Like just like a party balloon?

03:50No, it looks like a fairly large balloon,

03:52like four to six feet,

03:54so some kind of weather balloon,

03:55or perhaps like a radar target

03:57or something like that.

03:59So it seems like it's a fairly large balloon,

04:03from what we can tell.

04:06That's interesting.

04:07Yeah, not super large.

04:09Don't you think they would have other video

04:11that would have caught balloons too,

04:13and then the Air Force would know,

04:15oh, this is what it looks like?

04:16Like why can't they do what you just told me,

04:19like all of that?

04:19They're doing it.

04:20I mean, that's what Arrow is doing,

04:21and they've already resolved scores

04:25and scores of cases to be balloons.

04:27So now they're kind of building,

04:29I guess, a body of knowledge

04:31of what balloons look like

04:33from these cameras.

04:37And I'm pretty,

04:39I would imagine that this example

04:40that they have here

04:42would be one that they've looked at.

04:44It seems very consistent with other ones.

04:47They released another one

04:48called the Middle East Sphere,

04:50which was kind of a similar type of thing.

04:52And it looked like a balloon,

04:53it looked like a sphere

04:54moving very, very fast

04:55from the top of the screen down,

04:56and then the camera tracks it.

04:58But that, again,

04:59you can kind of like put in the numbers

05:01and the trigonometry and everything,

05:03and it's just the parallax effect

05:05of the drone moving.

05:07The balloon is just drifting in the wind.

05:09But because it's like between

05:11the camera and the ground,

05:14it looks like it's moving very fast.

05:15Very similar thing

05:16with the old Go Fast video.

05:19That was the same type of thing.

05:20You know, it looks like it's a balloon,

05:22and all the motion is apparent motion

05:25plus a bit of wind.

05:27It's a very common thing.

05:28And I think that...

05:30That's what the Mosul is.

05:32Yeah, I don't think people were...

05:35Essentially, don't think

05:35they were adequately trained

05:37to be able to disambiguate things like this

05:39or deconflict things like this.

05:41And that's something I think

05:43that's being remedied now.

05:45You know, we got loads and loads of reports.

05:46Pilots are reporting UFOs.

05:49But lots of them are balloons.

05:52You know, something I think it's like...

05:53Like, I don't know,

05:5680% of all the resolved cases were balloons,

05:58and like 10% were birds,

06:00and 5% was something else.

06:02Now, there's unresolved cases as well,

06:04but there's no real indication

06:05that we've got any great data

06:08like showing those unresolved cases

06:10doing anything anomalous.

06:11We have, like, cases like this

06:13where something looks anomalous,

06:15and sometimes you can do analysis on it,

06:17but sometimes you can't.

06:19Yeah, no, I mean, I get it.

06:21So you think it's a balloon

06:22because of the shape and everything,

06:25but because that would be

06:28the most likely prosaic explanation

06:29of a sphere-type object to you?

06:32Exactly.

06:32It could be something else, though.

06:34Sure.

06:35We know...

06:36You know, we've got the lines of sight

06:38from the camera to the target,

06:41which is a big spot on the ground.

06:43Yeah, yeah.

06:44There, we know from that

06:45that, you know,

06:47it could be any number of things.

06:49I think the...

06:50Oh, is it the...

06:53The...

06:54The largest it could be is...

07:01I think it was something like

07:02a three-metre sphere,

07:04like a 10-foot sphere

07:05moving at about 100 miles per hour

07:0820 feet above those buildings.

07:11Wow.

07:11Oh, so it could be that.

07:13That's interesting.

07:14The fastest and...

07:15Not exactly the fastest,

07:16but, you know,

07:17it's the fastest distant object.

07:19It could be a very small object,

07:21you know,

07:21as it gets closer to the camera,

07:22then obviously it's going to be smaller.

07:24Sure.

07:26With that size.

07:27Sure.

07:28Yeah, but...

07:28And the speed decreases,

07:30like,

07:30until you get to this kind of crossover point,

07:32and then it starts increasing again.

07:34Sure.

07:34And then it becomes something

07:35that's actually whizzing past

07:36the outside of the plane.

07:39Yeah.

07:39But that would have to actually have

07:41some additional velocity difference

07:43to the actual plane itself,

07:45which would make it faster.

07:46So, you know,

07:47it could be a very, very small

07:49alien spaceship

07:50whizzing past the plane.

07:52Yeah.

07:53Yeah.

07:53But, you know,

07:53out of the things we know in the universe,

07:55we know that there are balloons.

07:57Sure.

07:57I'm sure it seems a little bit weird,

07:58you know,

07:58why is there a large silvery balloon

08:01floating over Mosul?

08:02Is that more weird

08:04than there being a tiny alien spaceship

08:05flying at a weird angle over Mosul?

08:08That's a fair point.

08:09It's like, you know,

08:10we have a hypothesis

08:11that fits the facts.

08:13Sure.

08:14Sure.

08:15The hypothesis that this is like

08:16an alien craft

08:17can fit any set of facts.

08:19Sure.

08:19So it's kind of like,

08:20you know,

08:21it's not really,

08:22there's no reason,

08:23Occam's razor says

08:25that we should go with the one

08:25where you don't have to invent

08:26a whole bunch of new things

08:28like aliens to explain it.

08:29We've got things that we know exist

08:30like balloons.

08:31We know that it matches,

08:33you know,

08:34the size of a,

08:35like a weather balloon.

08:36We know that it's going

08:37in the same direction

08:38where it could be going

08:39in the same direction

08:39as the wind was that day

08:41at the same speed

08:41the wind was that day.

08:43Yeah.

08:43And we know it's just

08:44a round featureless orb

08:46that is reflecting the sun.

08:48So it kind of looks like a balloon

08:49and moves like a balloon.

08:50Could be an alien spaceship.

08:52But,

08:53you know,

08:53I'd put balloon

08:54as my number one hypothesis.

08:56Yeah.

08:57I mean,

08:57but that is interesting

08:58that it could be

08:59a 10 foot object

09:00flying at 100 miles an hour

09:01over the building.

09:02I think someone

09:03would have noticed that there.

09:04I mean,

09:05you would think,

09:05right?

09:06You would think.

09:07I agree.

09:07People on the ground

09:08would have noticed that.

09:09I mean,

09:09maybe they used to seeing these.

09:12Yeah,

09:12yeah,

09:12totally.

09:13100 miles per hour

09:14isn't that fast

09:15in terms of being able

09:16to see it.

09:17It would be like a...

09:18In the speed.

09:18Yeah,

09:19in the sky.

09:19Yeah.

09:20It would be like

09:20a helicopter flying

09:21by the head.

09:22Well,

09:23that's a good point.

09:23Except a giant sphere.

09:25Yeah.

09:25If you've got like

09:26a 10 foot wide sphere

09:27flying over,

09:28there would be reports,

09:29I think.

09:30Yeah,

09:31no,

09:31that's a fair point for sure.

09:32I saw the tweets.

09:34I don't get involved.

09:36You know,

09:36I don't respond or anything,

09:37but about the puddle

09:39or something.

09:40Originally,

09:41people had thought

09:41that it was a puddle,

09:42then Gary Nolan.

09:44I don't even know

09:44what happened there,

09:46but...

09:47Well,

09:47it's like

09:48people thought

09:49it looked like a puddle,

09:50and even some people

09:51on Metabunk

09:51were suggesting that,

09:53and I,

09:53you know,

09:53I could tell it wasn't a puddle

09:54because the lighting

09:55didn't make any sense.

09:56Yeah.

09:57Because you can see

09:57the shadows on the ground

09:58are pointing across the street,

10:00but the sun would have had to been

10:01like on the other side

10:02of the street

10:03for it to be reflecting

10:04off a puddle,

10:05so,

10:05you know,

10:06we knew it wasn't a puddle,

10:07so I never thought

10:08it was a puddle,

10:09and I argued against it,

10:11but Gary Nolan,

10:13back in 2023,

10:15posted like,

10:16you know,

10:17some video game designer

10:18said it was a puddle,

10:20and I think based on that,

10:22people like have this idea

10:24that I thought

10:24it was a puddle.

10:26Yeah.

10:27Yeah.

10:27I never did,

10:28and I immediately told him that,

10:30but I never did,

10:31but it's one of those things

10:32that caught on,

10:33like I think everything's

10:33a seagull,

10:34or everything's a balloon,

10:36or,

10:36you know,

10:36whatever.

10:37Yeah.

10:37No,

10:37it's just silly.

10:39It was one of those theories,

10:40you know,

10:41like something stuck on the lens

10:42explains the jellyfish,

10:43you know,

10:44it kind of seems

10:45superficially attractive

10:47because it seems like

10:48a good explanation,

10:49and you go,

10:49oh yeah,

10:49it looks a bit like a puddle,

10:50but then you think about it,

10:51and like,

10:52no,

10:52like,

10:52you know,

10:53something on the lens

10:53wouldn't be in focus,

10:55puddle wouldn't reflect

10:56the water,

10:57so we eventually hone in

11:00on the more likely hypothesis.

11:03Yeah,

11:03I hear you.

11:03I wonder why there's no,

11:06like,

11:08you know,

11:08I don't know,

11:09maybe some of these groups,

11:10like Sol,

11:11or some of these other groups,

11:12like,

11:12why they don't do what

11:14Metabunk does,

11:15and what y'all do,

11:16like,

11:16why can't they build these systems

11:17and prove they're alien,

11:19or more anomalous than they are,

11:21does that make sense?

11:21Like,

11:22y'all are out here

11:23doing this work,

11:24like,

11:24why is there no?

11:26The software I did

11:27is like free to use.

11:28I mean,

11:28it's a web app,

11:30anyone can go to,

11:31you go to sitrec.org,

11:32it'll take you to it.

11:34Yeah,

11:35I agree.

11:35You can drop things in,

11:36and you can try out

11:37different hypotheses,

11:38and you know,

11:39see,

11:40you know,

11:40all it's doing is,

11:41is taking the data,

11:43and creating a 3D model,

11:46that matches the data,

11:47with all the possibilities.

11:49So,

11:49in my model,

11:50like,

11:50I could,

11:51I changed the distance,

11:53and so that it became like,

11:55you know,

11:55an orb going 100 feet,

11:57100 miles per hour,

11:58just above the ground,

11:59and I could change the distance,

12:00so it's in the middle,

12:01and it's more like a balloon,

12:02and I changed the distance,

12:03so it's close to the plane,

12:04and it's like a,

12:05a tiny little anomalous object.

12:08So,

12:09anyone can do that,

12:09anyone can explore the range

12:11of possibilities,

12:12that you have,

12:13that,

12:13that kind of fit this,

12:15and then,

12:16you know,

12:16figure out for themselves,

12:18what are the things more likely?

12:20You know,

12:20a balloon fits,

12:21alien spaceship also fits,

12:23is it 50-50?

12:24No,

12:25I don't think it is,

12:25I think it's,

12:26you know,

12:26a million times more likely,

12:27to be a balloon,

12:28than it is an alien spaceship,

12:30because we've got,

12:31trillions of balloons,

12:32in the planet,

12:33and we've,

12:33never seen any good evidence,

12:35of any alien spaceships existing,

12:37so,

12:38yeah,

12:38sort of thing,

12:38that seems more common.

12:40More,

12:40more,

12:41more common,

12:41I mean,

12:42but you do think there's aliens,

12:43like,

12:44out,

12:45outside of Earth,

12:46you think there's more life,

12:47outside of Earth,

12:47yeah,

12:48I do too.

12:48Definitely,

12:49yeah,

12:49but probably a long way away,

12:51sure,

12:51and maybe not,

12:53you know,

12:53a long way away,

12:54both in space,

12:54and,

12:55and in time,

12:55there's probably civilizations,

12:58that's emerged,

12:59flourished,

13:00and died away,

13:01millions,

13:02or even billions,

13:03of years ago,

13:04and,

13:05there will be more,

13:06in the future,

13:06and who knows,

13:08what we are coincident with,

13:09and what is nearby,

13:11but I think it's inevitable,

13:12that intelligent civilization,

13:15has arisen,

13:17and will arise again,

13:19in the universe.

13:20Yeah,

13:21yeah,

13:21I think so too,

13:22I think it's so vast,

13:24but I agree,

13:24that the,

13:25the distance,

13:27in time and space,

13:28yeah,

13:28it's so interesting,
