Black Monk Posted September 27, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) Police have been left baffled after a UFO appeared to show up on one of their cameras. Footage from the force's heat-seeking helicopter camera shows a spherical object bobbing around in the centre of the screen. The unidentified craft was filmed by the South Wales police while officers were flying 1,000ft over the Bristol Channel. Confused police said the mystery object was flying against the wind and was undetected by air traffic control at about 9.30pm on Saturday.

bmk1245 Posted September 27, 2016 #2 Share Posted September 27, 2016 My bet is on some small crap stuck on camera glass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftermath Posted September 27, 2016 #3 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Fascinating... but I say it's a drone. Perhaps a new military grade surveillance drone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the temperature of water in Bristol Channel, and what was air temperature at 9:30 PM and 300 m over Bristol Channel? Now, thats what looks motors of quad in IR: Thats one clue. Secondly, during numerous zoom ins/outs, shape of intensities of the blob changes drastically, especially at the end of the video. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExoPaul Posted September 27, 2016 #9 Share Posted September 27, 2016 If it wasnt visible at the time but seen afterwards when watching the footage.......... Who was controlling the camera to follow it and attempt to zoom in on it?!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratbiter Posted September 27, 2016 #10 Share Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) Sorry didn't read the above post who also noticed. It says it wasn't seen at the time, If that's the case why is it within the cross-hairs most of the time and centered upon when it moves away from them?

JesseCuster Posted September 27, 2016 #11 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Where does the article say that the object wasn't seen at the time and was only seen afterwards when they watched the footage? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was controlling the camera to follow it and attempt to zoom in on it?!? The front page news article covering this story has since been updated due to an error - it was meant to state that, according to reports, the object could only be seen using the chopper's thermal imaging camera, not that it was only spotted for the first time after the footage was reviewed afterwards. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daily Mail and a few others don't always completely quote the source. As there is either a partial or fraction of fabrication to some of they're stories, in my opinion. I will take this one as fact, because the Police are actually involved. Edited September 27, 2016 by Hudds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont seem to find anything bogus about the Mail. But...if it were the Sun, or Daily Sport papers....well..I wouldnt even insult myself reading those rags anyway, the giveaway was in the thread title 'UFO captured on police helicopter thermal cam' But enough of all that Any thoughts on what it could be?

There was a story from the Daily Mail a short while back, which was the final straw for me. But I won't go into that. I completely agree, those other two are rags and I would not believe most of what they publish. Back to the topic... They certainly captured something very interesting. It's definitely a U.F.O at this point. Perhaps it's some kind of secret Russian spy craft? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merc14 Posted September 28, 2016 #24 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) It looks to be cooler than the background to me, right, or is the heat reversed with this camera? I see no motors on arms so drone seems a long shot. I was thinking a balloon tied to an antenna for longer range radio communication by a ship in the Bristol channel. That would explain the cool temperature and the movement without motors. If darker is hotter with this camera then forget this suggestion.
