The "Concord" UFO Video

G'day

Along with the 1994 Nellis Air Force Base UFO video.....

www.abovetopsecret.com...

.....here's another of the very few UFO videos that I find interesting.....

The "Concord" UFO video:



I cannot find very much explanation as to what this might be, either on ATS or externally.

I will be extremely interested to read the expert commentary of our ATS members regarding this video.

Kind regards

Man, I've always thought that thing was small, (ufo) but this is the first time I've seen it in slo-mo, and that thing is tiny............
I mean it's actually on the starboard side of the jet.......... I always thought it was on the other side - surprising to see it was in between the jet, and the filming aircraft - hmmm.

It was a roll of toilet paper ejected from the plane's trash chute when an unfortunate passenger contracted a case of terrible diarreah from the bad water on board- and then accidentally dropped it down the toilet when he reached for more than one roll and they all fell over on him. It then got caught up in the plane's wind tunnel, and well, the rest is history.

I would be very interested to read more detail about that.

Can you provide a source?

Kind regards

Hahah, toilet paper? Now THAT is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Although, I think it was intended to be a joke in the first place =)

It *almost* looks like a camera artifact, because it seems to move when the camera moves, but the relative movements don't match up and contradict each other at times. So it's not something on the lens. Plus you can see the ball move horizontally towards the cockpit after it makes the exaggerated dip.

How old is the video? And also what's the source? I know it's of the one and only Concorde, but is there a chance this is just the labor of somebody in possession of a) too much time, b) old footage, and c) some skill in video manipulation? On the other hand if it's a well-known UFO case, and the original footage is confirmed, then I can not debunk this, personally. Not sure why it doesn't get a higher rating on YT, I think it's a good one albeit short.

G'day again TrueAmerican

If you were having a joke with me as per the post above, then I apologise for being a bit "thick" this morning!

I get the impression it's not CGI.

But like I said, I've never seen much discussion of this one.

I'll search for more commentary regarding the source of this video.

Kind regards

Well I figure if the naysayers can explain UFOs away with weather balloons, chinese lanterns, flares, helicopters, plane lights, kites, birds, insects, dirty lenses, lens flares, and everything else they claim- they why is my roll of toilet paper any less valid?

This is old, old footage. I saw it years ago. Definately not tampered with.
It's obviously a weather-balloon on crack with a Concorde obsession.

G'day TrueAmerican

I like your style

I hope we get a few more members in here with some more information & commentary regarding this interesting video.

Kind regards

Man I remember seeing this years ago!....To me it's all too perfect. You got one of the most popular most recognisable aircraft ever produced, the camera shot is side on showing the whole plane and a stereotypical "Glowing orb" buzzing around. All too perfect in my opinion, but I hope I am wrong

doesn't seem to be doing any harm, just seems curious

it's a ghost in the machine caused by the camera lens taking the film. It's been recreated and the exact science behind the artifact demonstrated, using the same camera. There's a British documentary on the subject made some 15-20 odd years ago that explains it all.

I'd imagine it's knocking around on-line somewhere, but sadly i don;t remember the title.

I'd be very interested to read that.

Please feel free to post that doc if you find it again at some point.

I'll also have a look for it.

Kind regards

Alright mate :-)

The problem with old UFO documentaries is that, they are nearly always called, UFO, the evidence? Or Something in our Skies, or summat so similar it's hard to track a specific one down. This one i would recommend as it did go into quite some detail, at length, about the camera effect and the Concorde film. From memory they also covered the *Oxfordshire BBC Film crew * incident, It's the one where the weird contrail like shape appears as the reporter is doing a news piece to camera.

This one

G'day FireMoon

Are you sure you mean that vid?

It's only 14 sec's long.

I tried to find a longer version.....

I might also look on the UFO Evidence sights & similar to see if I can find a reference.

Cheers mate

That's just the clip that shows the trail in close up. it's actually from some lass doing a piece to camera with small crew when one of them points it out and pans the camera to it.. The youtube clip just shows the close up and leaves out all the stuff to camera.

G'day FireMoon

OK.....I get that.

Are you suggesting this might be the cause of the "Concord" UFO?

Or, am I not understanding the point which you are making?

Kind regards
Maybe...maybe not

Be you referring to this??

Most UFOs are visually quite vague in appearance, and as such can be explained as camera ghosts. Doesn't mean they are.
