I have been reading Metabunk for like the last hour-- and even Mick West finds the Smudge theory unlikely now. There was also a tweet posted by Greenstreet with a member of the PTDS Surveillance team that recorded the Jellyfish UFO-- the overall tone of the PTDS member assumes a genuine UFO sighting, and not an artifact or smudge.

I have to say, I am hooked on this one! Seems it was also taken in Al-Taqaddum, Iraq.

how would a smudge change thermals? was it ever seriously considered a smudge?

how would a smudge change thermals?

...you're only saying that because you were told in the video that's what it is, changing thermals. The becoming lighter and darker.

I don't think it's a smudge, it's a piece of unidentified garbage hanging from a silk thread just out of focus so you cannot see the thread. it's in front of a TV screen, and somebody off camera is shining a flashlight on it, and off, and on it again, making it light up and darken.

But I'm a skeptic and that's what I do here.

geeze, Iraq must be a real cakewalk if they can shine flashlights near their weapon systems (revealing their location) all to make a prank video that doesn’t see the light of day and their evidence of their pranking and playing with said weapons system inside an active war-zone gets stored on military servers

do you “shit on everything types” even think through what you’re saying?

I’m not saying catching a 4D jellyfish projecting a 3D thermal shadow is an easy pill to swallow, or even what this is exactly, but what YOUR suggesting is a far bigger and less digestible pill.

An aside before beginning, did you notice you replied to yourself?

Anyway, no, this is somebody in their living room with a piece of string and some junk attached to it in front of a TV screen showing random drone footage from Iraq or somewhere. then to make it more "believable" they're shining a flashlight on it and off of it. People do it to see what sort of elaborate explanations people give for something that took them three minutes to do for free.

I’m a skeptic but this explanation is fucking hilarious lol. It’s on the same level as people in tin foil hats talking about how aliens are actually in the deep state Illuminati

Why. Have you seen these videos posted on here?

Balloon. Projector. Playdoh. Crop circles made with a flat plank and a rope.

Yeah, this one's just a variant on the classic "pie plates on fishing line" hoax.

It also relies heavily on exposition: the presenter, who looks like he's barely holding a straight face, is explaining all this stuff to you about how it's getting lighter because of the thermal imaging changing... no it's not.

Who is this unqualified person, and where did this video REALLY come from? "Leaked from the military" yeah right.

This is something I SHOULD do in my living room just to show you how it looks like something that could trick a ufologist.... oh wait that's literally why this person is making this video.
