Brazilian UFO Video

Found this on youtube and thought it was interesting. The movement and size of the object seem a bit odd (rc) to me and i'd really like to see how the object ultimately "departs".

ps: sorry if this has been posted before. I tried searching for it here on ATS but came up with nothing.

The dates don't match but something very similar was video'd at the getgo of the Jan/1996 Varghina, Brazil UFO/EBE event. In the /96 video it shows the UFO wobbling it's way down the street in the same manner.

Without finding the tape I have, I'd guess it was the same video but I could be wrong?, certainly the date on the above vid indicates 1998.
Anyway, both seem to be having trouble staying up or may be hiding from radar or in the above case a jet fighter??

There seems to be jet noise in the background could just be a jet landing or leaving?. In the 1996 tape the sound was muted in the special I had taped.

Extraordinary video...

I´ve never see it before.

Cool video find Bartleby. Just wondering if a remote control ufo could do the same thing with the right lights attached to it and better antenna. Look at this video of one in flight.

Very interesting video. If that is an RC then it sure has a very long range for the remote to operate. Plus, it came pretty close - and it seemingly made no noise... RC craft usually have a high pitched sound because of the small engine, and it would have been easily detectable.
Just wonder what that was... a probe or something?? weird.

Things to consider: The object is quite small, perhaps the size of a basketball. You can see it going behind some objects and passing in front of houses close by. It was filmed in a neighborhood of Sao Paulo, a mega city in Brasil. The people filming it (a boy and his sister) do not seem overly suprised. When the image is zoomed by the camera operator, the light levels seem to flicker.

Given its size, motion, and light output, my guess is that it is a small hot air baloon typicaly made in Brasil. People in Brasil often make hot air baloons out of tissue paper and then place candles inside. They float about erraticly, particularly in cities with wind gusting about the buildings, and the candle inside flickers. This would fit the image in the video. At one point it gets very close to the area where it was filmed from and you can clearly tell that it is a small object. It even dissapears as it goes behind a utility pole. The girl also coments on how close it is.
That is my take on it anyway. I have seen similar hot air baloons in Brasil on a number of occasions. They are fun to make although they have been outlawed as they represent a fire risk when they land. Often the tissue paper used to make them will catch fire and they come crashing down in blazes.

Toy hot-air balloons don't zip around like the object in this video. As a kid, I built hot-air balloons from dry-cleaning bags and balsa wood, powered by birthday candles — which worked like a charm, but they certainly couldn't withstand a wind-whipping as you seem to be suggesting in this case.

To me, the thing in this video is much too active to be a hot-air balloon, or any sort of balloon, for that matter. I might concede that it is an RC vehicle of some kind, perhaps similar to the ultra-ultra-light indoor helicopters currently available on the market, and fitted with illumination.
