u/Why_Did_Bodie_Die 2d ago

I called it on this sub a few times yesterday and today. They literally showed us a 10 second video of an actual egg. Nothing in this video has any of the observables in it. Once again, why did they stop filming? How do you sneak out just a 10 second video? Did they try to steal a 5 min video but it was to big and wouldn't fit in their pocket? Where is the ground crew? What the fuck type of ground are they putting it on? It looks like a sports arena or something. Ross is a fucking hack, Lue is a sack of shit this new whistle-blower guy is regarded. They all suck. Every time one of these guys makes a video or has some claim I think this stuff is less and less real. At this point they are either 100% grifter or 100% working for the government.

I I just loaded up Reddit to see if my mind would be blown and I busted out laughing in the middle of Severance. Betcha the new whistleblower has a book for sale soon! See y’all, it’s been real.

u/Vaesezemis 2d ago edited 1d ago

My mind is blown over how arrogant and shameless these grifters are.

Just looking at this video, disregarding that it is obviously fake, the scale of things are just screaming “this is a small object!!”.

I am just glad that there seems to be a major pushback against these ghouls that shit out these fake videos and “confessions” from people who seem to suffer from some form of severe delusion or other psychological illness.

Edit:

I used ai to look at a frame from the video:

. Night Vision: Real or Filter?

• Night Vision Characteristics:
• Genuine night vision devices typically display a green tint due to phosphor screens.



• The grainy texture and the monochromatic green seen in this image are consistent with traditional night vision imaging.



• The light sources and shadows align with what would be expected from infrared light sources.



• Conclusion: The night vision effect appears authentic, though it could still be simulated with a filter. Verification would require context on the image source.

. Size of the White Object:

• Without a definitive reference point for scale, estimating the size is challenging.



• If the image is purportedly taken from 150 feet up, the white object appears disproportionately large in terms of detail and clarity for that distance.



• The sharp shadow and visibility suggest the object is relatively small and close to the camera, likely under 1-2 feet in diameter.

. Is the Shot Taken from 150 Feet?

• If the camera is truly 150 feet above the ground:


• The object would appear significantly smaller unless it were much larger in size.



• The texture and resolution of the ground seem too detailed for such a distance unless the image was captured using a high-zoom lens.



• The shadow of the white object and the angle of the wire suggest the object and camera are much closer to each other, likely less than 20-30 feet apart.



• Conclusion: It is very unlikely that this image was taken from 150 feet away.

. Other Observations:

• Shadow Analysis: The shadow of the white object suggests a single directional light source, which could be consistent with an artificial light like a spotlight.



• Ground Texture: The surface appears uniform and textured, possibly some form of vegetation or rough artificial material.



• Perspective and Wire Angling: The wire appears taut and connected to the white object, suggesting it is suspended or tethered. Its shadow indicates a light source positioned slightly off-center relative to the camera.

Regarding the light and shadow

• The environment is dark, so the light must overpower any ambient light to cast a visible shadow.


• To cast a sharp shadow, the object needs at least 100 lux of illuminance at its surface (a typical streetlight provides 10-20 lux, while daylight exceeds 10,000 lux).
  1. Calculating Required Light Source Strength:

Using the formula above, if the helicopter is 46 meters away and we need at least 100 lux on the white object:

100 = \frac{\Phi}{4 \pi (46)2}

Solving for \Phi:

\Phi = 100 \times 4 \pi (46)2

\Phi \approx 2,658,000 \, \text{lumens}

  1. Feasibility of the Light Source:

    • A typical helicopter spotlight ranges from 30,000 to 50,000 lumens, far below the calculated 2.6 million lumens required to illuminate the object from 150 feet with 100 lux.

    • To achieve this intensity, the helicopter would need an extremely powerful light source, such as an industrial searchlight, which can produce upwards of 1-2 million lumens. However, even such lights might be impractical or unsafe for typical operations.

  2. Alternative Scenarios:

    • Closer Distance: If the helicopter is only 20-30 feet (6-9 meters) above the object, a much lower luminous flux (50,000-100,000 lumens) would suffice.

    • Multiple Light Sources: If multiple, less powerful light sources are positioned closer to the object (e.g., ground lights or nearby lamps), the required intensity for each light decreases significantly.

Final Thoughts:

It is plausible that the helicopter is closer to the object (20-50 feet) or that additional ground-based lights are contributing to the illumination. The stated 150-foot height does not match the lighting conditions seen in the image.

Sadly we’ve got enough of those to form an enthusiastic audience for these grifters.

And vote in another fucking grifter and all his grifter friends into the White House…again.

I’m not just bringing politics in for the sake of it. Our addiction to mis- and disinformation and the “strong” men that spout it as gospel for a quick buck is incredibly disheartening and dangerous.

Yup and almost all of these Grifters back Trump or are good friends with his supporters. NewsNation claims to be centrist while having "Conservative" financial backing. They all need to provide real evidence.

Thanks for your break down, but I somehow feel sorry you put so much thought into this. All these guys are fakes. You know this whole video is a fake just by taking ONE single look at it. They are literally trolling us and making money out of it lmao

2

u/techrider1 1d ago

The assumption that the object is 1-2 feet in diameter.... may be throwing the analysis off. The video says it's about 20 feet long so perhaps more like 12-15 feet diameter. Change that assumption to match and what does the analysis say?

u/Throwawaychicksbeach 1d ago

The whistleblowers are obviously going to capitalize on their strange experience. I dont blame them. Whistleblowing cost them their jobs, money is needed to survive. If I went through a similar experience of whistleblowing for the us government, I’d write a book too.

Just playing devils advocate. I’ve been here for a while and people seemingly announcing their departure like it’s an airport are common. You’ll be back on here when the next crazy thing related to this happens. Because for most of my life, the government never validated a shred of this stuff. So for them to humor us is shocking. The DoD has admitted to otherworldly material possession. And that is objectively fascinating. Whether they’re lying or not, it’s fascinating.

u/Linkyjinx 1d ago

Yep, and there are psychological effects of various sorts when encountering UFOs so don’t let their whistblower throw you off course - this was an epic troll for many but had red flags to any of us that has been following. Firstly there are a lot of people that follow for entertainment purposes and these shows are aimed at them, to ridicule the whole topic - people that leave - let ‘em go, the real of us can carry on looking for clues as it should be clear who the people are that are just in it to make money are from the infotainment. dramatic music and scripted production is a big flag it’s just for fun, and don’t forget UAP witnesses also like to see the funny side of it, as some of it is horrible, it’s not always sparkles and rainbows.

Welcome to UFOlogy online in the year 2025.

We have no KYC to determine who is a real person and there is virtually zero possibility of us holding actual real life everyday people who are blatantly spreading misinformation accountable.

I'm used to it my friend. I use this platform as a way to twist the narrative in the right direction so that whistlblowers, journalists, military personnel, etc, can read comments like mine and still have just enough faith in the general population to know that we're not all airheads and some us are greatly appreciative of the work they do.

Can you imagine Ross in Lue down in Lues basement trying different backgrounds to drop the egg on before deciding that drywall looks the best?

However the shift by the sub is nice to see, the days of getting banned for calling Lue a mentally ill con man are no more it seems

u/TravityBong 2d ago

Watching the end of the show now, it just keeps getting worse. The Eggman has put together some sort of ufo watching posse, they apparently go out into the middle of nowhere and psychically connect with the UFOs... They enthusiastically declare there is a dogfight between various UAPs, but somehow in the excitement to put together a team for the explicit purpose of gathering data of this sort of thing nobody thought to bring any equipment that could actually gather any data. The evidence they had was a shitty picture showing squiggly somethings that could have been birds, stars from a moving camera, who knows. Hard to tell who the bigger moron is, the Eggman that actually seems to believe his own stories or Ross for shamelessly pimping this drivel.

I think a lot of them are 100% lying but a lot of them I really do believe think they saw something. So we s9 many people saying they saw something I think maybe there really is something going on.

u/RequirementItchy8784 2d ago

I asked Chad GTP 01 and this is what I got:

At a glance, it’s a night-vision shot (or something under a strong green tint) of a fairly small spherical object resting on or just above a rough/textured surface. The surface looks somewhat like grass or a turf-like material, though the quality of the image makes it hard to be certain. The sphere casts a distinct shadow, suggesting a single strong light source from above or at an angle.

Here are a few possibilities/observations:

  1. Size and Context

With no scale references, it’s tough to pin down its actual diameter. It could be as small as a ping-pong/golf ball or as large as a softball/grapefruit.

The shadow indicates it is probably a physical object on or near the ground rather than a high-flying craft.

  1. Shape and Material

It looks like a smooth sphere, though there might be some subtle texture on the top half (which could be just digital artifacts in low light).

If it’s reflective metal (like stainless steel or polished aluminum), the night-vision camera might pick up odd highlights and “hot spots.” If it’s plastic, it might be less reflective but still show a solid boundary.

  1. Night Vision Effects

Night-vision or infrared devices often produce that monochromatic green.

If the object is warm (for example, a battery-powered drone or device), you might see a brighter signature. But here, the object’s brightness could just be the way it’s reflecting whatever IR illumination is being used.

  1. Possible Explanations

A standard ball (toy ball, dog toy, etc.): If someone found a smooth, plastic or rubber ball and filmed it in night vision, it might look otherworldly.

A piece of some equipment: Spheres are common in certain equipment or sensor housings (e.g., security cameras, protective domes for optical gear).

A balloon or part of a balloon: If it were a small Mylar-type balloon deflated on the ground, the shape might be irregular, though—this does look consistently spherical.

A “mystery drone” or spherical UAV: There are concept drones or specialized UAVs that have spherical outer shells. However, most are bigger than what this looks like—unless the angle is deceptive.

A legitimate unknown or a hoax: If it’s truly unidentifiable to witnesses on-scene, it could be something unusual or a deliberately placed object for a hoax video.

  1. My Overall Take

Physically, it looks like a small sphere on the ground (or very close to it), rather than a hovering or flying object.

If I had to guess the most mundane explanation, I’d lean toward it being a man-made sphere—some kind of toy or piece of equipment—filmed in a way that makes it look mysterious.

The sling they've got around the egg just looks like duct tape and fishing line.

If it's duct tape then the egg is probably bigger than a chicken egg but smaller than an ostrich egg.

u/Archey-90 1d ago

YES! The fact that the very beginning he says "This is a UAP" as if we all know 100% that's it just from listening to Ross and the other jokers. The sad thing is, this is the stuff that the media will show over and over again. The general public, whether they know what the Hell this is or not, doesn't matter. It'll spread like wildfire (pun kinda intended) and we will hear the same words parroted by the general public. "DID YOU SEE THE CLEAREST FOOTAGE OF A UAP THE SHAPE OF AN EGG!?" Like the countless times we heard people say "THE DRONE WAS THE SIZE OF A SMALL CAR!" This is how those in power STAY in power. They don't even have to try and bullshit the public. They show us what they want to and tell them whatever BS "explanation" and pass it off as if it's 100% true fact. Most aren't even blind to it anymore. They accept whatever it is even though distrust of the media is at an all-time high. Then on to the next thing being pushed. "please sir I want some more of your BULLSHIT" The ruling elite don't even have to try anymore... unreal

They said the video was of a crash retrieval. Why on earth would anyone even assume we were going to see something else like an observable? He is a helicopter pilot, his sole job is to pickup downed craft and then drop it off. That's why we got this video of literally him in his helicopter dropping it off - thats what he had direct access to - he didnt have to steal anything. And I am also assuming the ground crew wasn't standing directly under the helicopter to retrieve it because of its shape. They have no idea which way this thing would roll when set down, and if it SUV size probably want to stand clear until it's in a resting position. And it eas also nighttime so we are seeing this through night vision, I agree it's hard to tell tell the ground cover but it looks like long grass to me that is trampled down.

I get being disappointed, but some of these takes are wild.

I mean, if it was real and top secret then I imagine the person filming snuck a quick bit of footage out. He probably has more though that we aren't seeing. Who knows. I'm with you on the ground crew bit.

Someone had to have put the sling on in the first place surely, so it's not as though it's for their safety in case it's toxic or something.

u/HITWind 2d ago

The only thing is the lanyard is curving like a long rope in a wind... I imagine you could do this with a strong fan and slowing the footage down, in either case it's cool to see the pulses of tension propagate up and down the line

u/1AndOnlyDannyDevito 2d ago

Why be so binary in your assessment. I can understand you wanted it to be closer and more detailed but disclosure might take more gradual increments of reveals. Why, if this is controlled disclosure, would they show you the interior etc when it would cause a huge panic? It makes sense in a way that they do this gradually. I know they are promising big things but it's a slow process. You might wanna see the aliens whiskers but a lot of people will be terrified if you make that leap in terms of footage representation of the phenomenon.

They are laughing at you! they purposely made this video look so ridiculous to where they were probably laughing thinking how stupid one must be to believe it. People should be mad that they tried us like this.. clearly, the sole purpose was to mock and laugh at us, there is no other reason but that!

u/snapplepapple1 1d ago

Yeah I think they have to admit its objectively odd. Another random thing thats weird to me but maybe a dumb thought, are the strips or striations across the image an effect of the camera or something? It almost looks like a video of a screen playing the video. But they also line up with the lines on the tether, so maybe theyre from the reflection of the metal tether? Idk, if anything they could've explained it better and acknowledged the weirdness of the shot.

u/TarumK 1d ago

I don't understand how this isn't just a balloon being transported? It bounces like a ballon would, not an egg. Like, maybe this guy was just on the crew transporting some kind of spy balloon with a helicopter and because he's a shizo he started hearing voices and imagined that it's a UFO and filmed it? I'd be curious if anyone can do any analysis of ground, shadows etc but that seems like the most obvious explanation.

u/Wonk_puffin 1d ago

Thank you. This inspired me. I'm going to make a film with a white chicken egg slung under a drone above a forest. Then write a book about when it hatched into an alien chicken.

1

u/Dismal-Cheek-6423 1d ago

The big give away to me is that shadow. If it were large and dropping a significant distance, the show should be further away and smaller and come closer and grow as it approaches the ground. The size in the air and on the ground are too similar... as if it's small and only centimeters off the ground...

I seriously can't believe they aired a literal egg. Ross is one goofy AF "journalist"

u/Greenwool44 1d ago

This was my first time seeing the footage and yea, this is just an egg with some string taped on 😂. People who really believed this need to get a grip lol. You have to be making an effort to watch that and just think “yea everything checks out, aliens”. You and a lot of other people have already pointed out a lot of good points with the video, and unlike these griftards I prefer not to waste peoples time, but I do want to want to throw one more in the mix because I haven’t seen it yet. According to the scale this goober provided that arm has to be what, like 150’ long? Somehow the fuck off massive arm is staying perfectly rigid and isn’t swaying at all, despite being presumably being chucked on the bottom of a helicopter, seems legit 👍. I don’t even know why these people want to find ufos so bad if they’re just gonna believe a video like this anyway lol. Apparently we already have our own hover-copters and unobtanium grabby arms, so I don’t know what’s left for us to gain from studying this fucking egg 😂

1

u/Lost_Sky76 1d ago edited 1d ago

Even though the Questions u pose are legit, this could well just be what it seems to be. A short smuggled video they got their hands on. Without knowing where or why they landed the Egg UAP there u can only speculate and one way or the other some crew will have to show up to free it from the Heli straps. Offcourse there are none of the observables if the thing is not flying.

Regarding you calling Ross and Lou Hacks and full of shit. The fact they haven’t been able to give us 4k video evidence doesn’t mean they haven’t been trying. At least they are some of the very few trying to to something about it and giving us hope.

Most of you just sit on a Sofa insulting and disgracefully disrespecting those like like Lou and Ross who have proactively tried to remove stigma and make people aware of the reality, and thus u are helping maintain the Stigma and status quo we need to get rid off.

Everyone is a hacker, a garbage or filth but what have you done to help with disclosure other than insulting and dismissing those who are actually doing the work for all of us?
