Those are bugs. Insects. Insects flying around in front of the camera. Insects that can hover, change direction, zip away. Insects that look like blobs because they’re close to the camera, which was set to focus on infinity. Insects which were lit by the Sun so they flash a bit when they change direction.
the reporter, talked to someone identified as “a former commercial pilot, instructor, and FAA accident prevention counselor” who was able to say those objects aren’t planes or helicopters … but he also says they’re not insects. I take exception to that. It sounds like he’s assuming they’re far away and therefore big, but we don’t know that. They could be close and small. In which case they’re entirely consistent with being insects.

All I can say, is that there are people who think that the object filmed was a bug.

I believe the Denver one was a blimp.

Are flying "saucers" spotted any more? Now almost everything seems to be tic-tacs, or triangles, or rods.

Is there a Walmart in the area? The reason I ask, is,I had to go to Walmart to redeem a gift card yesterday. I saw several blimps in there

The fact that people are even entertaining that this is an insect is ridiculous. I can assure you, with the hours that me and my wife have flying and operating FLIR equipped aircraft, that this is not a bug. Maybe I'm doubting people's ability to understand the airspeed and positioning of how this stuff is being tracked -- but it's borderline hilarious that this is being considered.

Or a weather balloon
