I should have addressed the linearity of the movement in my last post in answer to holtdani. I didn't mean to say it was linear. I know that wind is all organized chaos, meaning it turns when meeting resistance. My bad!
What I meant is that there was not many other "bags" around, floating in the air. It isn't proof of a UFO, of course, only that probabilities display surprising things sometimes. Still, more things looking like it should be apparent to some extent, no?

How can you tell which way tokyo is in relation to the camera?

I've watched the videos of this event several times over the last couples of weeks.
I don't think the arrow is pointing towards a single object flying about and diving into the tsunami.
The first couple of things that are pointed out look like simple debris that is being flipped up by the tsunami and the air travelling over it.
They do a couple of simple flips and then get sucked under the water
The 3rd thing looks like a lighter object, maybe a plastic bag being blown about.
The 4th thing that does the more erratic maneuvers hoping between the roofs and zig-zagging looks to me like a bird in distress.

To all the skeptics!
Until the object is identified,it will remain a ufo.

Whatever it is, it's not really flying - that's an optical illusion created by water moving forward and the camera angle following water overtaking land. The object stays in virtually the same place as everything around it moves thereby giving the impression it is flying. My guess is it's a ball of some sorts on top of a thin, flexible poll moving erratically around the same location as the poll gets whacked by debris in the water. You've all seen car antennas with a ball on top, this is what it is. I think.

Edit to add: If anyone has a photo of that location before the tsunami hit, that would be enormously helpful. Google Earth maybe, do we know this exact location?
More: After watching the video again, it could be a ball of sorts on a telephone wire or electrical wire getting swung to and fro.
Got it. It's my solid belief that is something caught on a wire getting whipped around. In the picture below, you'll see two poles, this is exactly where the "UFO" shows up, in the middle of the poles. Both get knocked down but remain stationary in the ground, albeit flattened, but the wires remain attached and a piece of debris gets stuck and whipped around on the wires.

Now getting knocked down.

Electric poles go down, wires stay attached with the thick muddy debris field keeping them afloat, a ball of-sorts gets caught in the wires and whipped about.

This was my reasoning posted on page 6...

I still think it's the most reasonable explanation too.
