High speed ufo caught flying over stadium in Argentina

a reply to: Arbitrageur

This stadium doesn't have skycam. don't know of any soccer stadium that has one, specially not older ones. And the ufo is an insect indeed...I think the ufo here is meant to be the supposed skycam at 4:12 and not the insect at 1:22.. I don't think this stadium has a skycam but i'm sure that can be confirmed with a search..

The skycam is a system used by the TV companies. If there are any bespoke systems used by club grounds, that I don't know of. Some clubs may have aids for setting the system up though. This is probably a bug or a bird effect, it happens several times, each time it brightens with the stand lighting which is pretty directional laterally, so not so high up either.

I guessed they would have to have it permanently installed in the stadium no ? just seems like to much work to set up that system every other week.. anyway, no aliens here...

The nearby field lights by my house attract bugs, which attract bats, and I like sitting and watching them more than the games the lights are actually there for. I think a bat is a likely candidate.

I'm going to always go with the most logical explanations (and no, alien craft or some secret military project are not the most logical explanation).

They look like insects to me, reflecting light and appearing to be further away than they actually are.

I agree this is most likely insects close to the camera. The thing that tipped me off was the massively bright floodlights on the left side of the stadium which provides a perfect source for backlighting the insects - too much of a coincidence for me. Shame though as I bet aliens like soccer.

It is a skycam that reflects the light. Skycams are used at all major sport events to capture great views of the game. Weird that you don't think of that right away...

And yes, it does also explain the irregular flight path since it's controlled by wires that can pull it in almost any direction. Look at 4:12 for an even better look at it.

Skycam - Wikipedia

Correct. It's the Fox Sports Skycam used for Copa Libertadores matches.

Stadiums don't have them but TV production companies do.

If it was a UFO, why is it, that the guy standing in the middle of the field, doing nothing, where the object flys over his head, he doesn't even look at it. If I saw a ufo zipping by, I'd be like. FORGET SOCCER!! WTF IS THAT!?!
