Nice site. Funny how some are zipping around just as fruit flies and other extremely small insects do. I'm still patiently waiting for someone to upload 4K videos of UAPs that are in-focus. We're in 2026 and still are squinting at white pixel blobs in gray skies or gray pixel blobs in black skies. Example: https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1017793/dow-uap-pr117-unresol...


Where's your footage of tracking something at high speed under high magnification? Most people can't track a rocket launch moving in a fairly straight line. Even if you're using your device, the auto stabilizing software features make it very difficult to track something smoothly by hand. Ever notice the lag when zoomed in? 4K resolution might be ubiquitous on consumer devices, but it's not in military gun cameras.


OK that's fair. Here's a consumer-grade video showing something at high speed under high magnification.

yeah, and it sucks. Again, that's something moving in a straight line and still unable to be tracked. Hand held tracking at magnification is damn near impossible to keep steady and the subject in frame. Sure, there's a couple of frames that you can see the plane clearly, but come on. That's your example of something good??


When the context is UFOs? That’s damned good. A hundred times better than the best UFO footage out there.
