I see we have some good opinions on the video, good. I’m Ron from Wild&Weird WV. I’ll address a few things here for everyone, maybe we can figure this out.
Someone had posted that these were possibly drones and that’s why I never mentioned them. That’s a good observation however there is a very good reason I didn’t mention drones in the report. Unlike the government I’m pretty aware of what “drones” can physically do Vs what they can not.
I have flown drones , both hobby film grade and acrobatics. Can drones achieve those flight characteristics? With a very experienced pilot , possibly, I don’t know any personally that could pull some of those maneuvers off. I could also see the hobby drone explanation if it were just one unknown target or we were near a hobby flight field ? But when the guest with us filmed those multiples , we would have heard drones if that were it. The facts is, six witnesses observed nothing visually or audibly that resembled what would be expected of a drone or the flight characteristics of a conventional aircraft. We could only see these targets with the thermal.
Also note: The location where these clips were filmed is not a drone heavy area , it’s a lodge and after our convention, it was pretty empty.
More interesting is that following this event I have conducted multiple sessions with the unit trying to recreate what we captured. I have done so in multiple locations and weather conditions. So far we found that whatever these targets are , they appear in clear skies. When it’s cloudy or overcast they are not present for whatever reason? We have no answers.
I refused to release these clips until they were all peer reviewed by others. Personally I thought we were filming birds until I kept hearing back from everyone that “those are not birds”.
I do not know what these were or are and that is why Stan Gordon convinced me to release these to the public, to get some idea on what these may be or if anyone else has managed to capture something similar. I will be be releasing more data on this shortly regardless of what it may turn out to be.
The unit used is an AGM-Taipan TM15-384
Thank you all for the input and thank you Caver78 for trying to help us figure this out.
If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask. I will check this from time to time.
