A video on
YouTube shows an enhanced version of a clip of a saucer UFO flying past a jet
taking off from the Paris airport. What is it?
The video
includes the raw footage establishing the shot as the passenger boards the plane
at the airport and films out the window as the plane taxis down the runway. As
the camera catches the view outside on the tarmac, a streaking object zooms by
moving much faster than the plane.
The mysterious
object moves so fast it just looks like a bird. But the enhanced, zoomed-in
version freezes the object frame-by-frame, and the similarity to a bird ends
there.
Whatever it is,
the UFO has no wings, is silver white, and is shaped like a
disc or a saucer. If it is some kind of aircraft, it's awfully close to an
airplane taking off, which is always avoided.
This video is a
good example of a new phenomenon in unidentified flying object videos: the
accidental capture.
Other videos
have caught a similar object from an airplane window, and many of these
sightings have yet to be satisfactorily explained. So, what is
it? Here's the
video:
