Is this video Hoax? What do you think?

Since there are great analysers on this site, I am curious to hear the answers...

The thing itself doesn't interest me... it is the anomaly at 36/37 seconds that does.

Watch the right hand side, a white object, nearly identical to the one being filmed, shoots through the frame, heading towards the sky.

Also key to note that the objects look strikingly like the one in the original O'Hare photo that emerged.

I don't know if it's a hoax, but what difference does it make, either way?

It's just an odd light thing in the sky. Could be Alien Invaders from Beyond the Moon. Could be a weird reflection off a floating spider web. Could just be an ordinary airplane at peculiar angle to the sun. Mylar balloon. Whatever. No proof of anything.

It's interesting, but no more interesting than anyone might see any day if they go outside and look up into the sky for a while. Try it sometime. Stand up and go outside and look up into the sky. You don't even need binoculars, although they can sometimes help identify stuff like floating balloons.

There are all kind of things floating around in the sky. Big deal.

The object that streaks by appears to be a bird. Interesting footage.

The object looks similar to many objects i've seen on videos and pictures. There's even a thread about a similar object seen in germany, the object described there matches the objects i've seen on other pictures and videos.

So i guess the US is not the only country in the world with such sightings.

That to me looks like cotton caught on a spider web. If you look up at the edge of your house you will see lots of cotton-like things, they have a name but I can't seem to know it right now. Anyway, it is the things that come out of certain flowers when one blows on them.

Well this is what it looks like to me. Sometimes spiders let off single string of web, and these cotton-things get stuck to them.

Which one are you talking about? The one in the video or the one on the other thread?

I think you are absolutley right about it being a little piece of fluff caught in the tree. At one point very early in the video, the thing rises up to just the level of the branch and it is IN FRONT of the branch...then it rises up the other side from the breeze.

I can see how it can easily look like something way up in the sky, but it's attached to the branch.

Also looks like right at the start, and the branch is blown from side to side a bit, the object moves with it.

I don't think it's fluff.
What I do think is that it's the best footage I've seen for a bit, I like how he gets the tree in the video, everyone should have a point of reference in their videos.

UFO, certainly Unidentified!

Do you not see how the object moves from left to right and back at the same time as the branch, then the object floats up in front of the branch right after the zoom in?

Or am I seeing things?

It's just that, the way it moves, IMO it looks far away.
It could be an out of focus piece of lint?
But, the UFO moves in differing ways than the green leaves in the foreground, meaning it's not blowing in the wind that is affecting the trees.

I think it is too fast and inconventional to be someting being attached to the tree, but this option is of course open.
Isnt it possible to analyze the video technically, whether it is an artificial construction or not...?

Why is it we never see the video in full? Why does the video always cut off before we see the UFO sprint away?

I agree with it being attached to the branch. I know one thing is for sure if I had a chance to film a ufo, I would not have a branch in the shot. Why is this guy standing under a branch when he can take one step forward and have a clear shot?

I would say it’s better then most of the videos I have seen. The tree limb makes a pretty good reference on the objects motion. I cannot say that is an aircraft based on its movement and such. The folks here that think it’s a piece of fluff caught in a spider web might be correct, but that is going to be hard to prove one way or the other. My guess is they might have something, if it passes video analysis by the Photochop experts on this site.

That does not mean I thinks it’s an alien ship or not, simply that it does not appear to me to be a hoax and does not appear to be an aircraft. As I cannot identify it as an aircraft, if it passes the photo experts, I would vote for it to have the U in UFO.

Considering that as of late, I seem to be called Mr. Debunker here, I suppose I should give specific things I see:

1) If it was an aircraft it had to be at long range from the camera to appear that small.
2) At Long range the movement is too radical for a blimp, private, or commercial aircraft.
3) A stunt plane or fighter jet would show variations in light, as the light would reflect more intensely on its pointed angles during maneuvers.
4) If it’s a balloon it has to be shot at medium range, and the movement seems too radical for a balloon.
5) The movement is not radical enough for a bug shot at short range.
6) As hard as I tried to find it, the motion does not seem to correlate with the movement of the branch.
7) The camera man seems to change zoom a couple of times and bobbles the camera now and again, but using the branch as a reference it does not appear that the movement of the object correlates to the camera motion/zooming, nor that the branch is attached to the camera.

To me, that leaves five options:
1) It’s a seed pod or feather shot at short range dancing on the wind.
2) It’s an aerobatic kite shot at medium range, but it has no edges like an aircraft to change light reflection.
3) It’s something Remote Controlled.
4) Photochop
5) It’s an Unidentified Object.

The only hint I see so far is the second object mentioned by fooffstarr…

To me that object does appear to be either a feather or some sort of seed pod that is very close to the camera man, and has been stirred up.

At the least the camera operator seems to remain calm and do a fairly professional job of photographing it, which lends him some credit in my book.

Am going to agree with Defcon here that it doesn't seem to be attached to the tree limb. However with his reference to the light not varying at all I have to dissagree. If you look at the very first few seconds of footage you will see that it actually seems to dissapear altogether for a split second so it may well be that it is a kite or something with a reflective surface.

I looked at it again, and to me it appears to be artifact when he is zooming in, that is just IMHO at the moment. You could be correct, and there can be other things I have missed. I’ll take another look at it tomorrow when I am a bit less tired.

i'm not sure if this is valid or anything but when watching the clip i noticed a small white dot similar to the main one.

you have to look really carefully and it only appears for a few seconds.

it may be static from the film or maybe a reflection off another craft?

just an observation, it occurs about 5 seconds in.
