A man from Texas has captured footage purportedly showing a UFO in the skies above the Interstate 35 highway, 20 miles South of Waco.
Knewz.com has learned that the video was posted on a Facebook group dedicated to UFO sightings and theories.
In the caption, the man requested group members to help him identify the object, seen in the footage as a colorful blob rapidly changing shape.
The man, Jon B Tipton, posted the 12-second video on the Texas UFO Network Facebook page, where he claimed that there were a total of "three vehicles/crafts."
"One was apparently only visible to the unaided eye and two red ones cross the frame from right to left, slow the video. The other is visible only to the naked eye and not captured in the video despite appearing to be co-located with this vessel," Tipton claimed.
Several commenters tried to explain what the "UFO" could actually be, with one of them writing:
"Honestly, you're seeing the camera on your phone focus on what is most visible because it's high up at altitude and the only thing it can pick up is the orange flare from SpaceX rocket booster. This is why it looks blurry."
"The reason it disappears is because the camera can no longer keep it in focus and the flame from the booster stops when it hits the upper atmosphere. Too far away to capture it with a phone camera," the commenter added.
There were others who tried to attribute this purported "sighting" to Elon Musk's space venture, saying, "Space X is only a few miles from this area."
Some of them tried to indicate that the object seen in the video had something to do with "secretive" United States military tech.
One of them wrote in the comments, "Did it just straight disappear? Anybody else think it’s probably just our government with crazy tech they aren’t telling the public about?"
On the other hand, some claimed that the object seen in the footage was nothing but simply light reflected off the windshield of the car.
However, many others were more inclined to believe that this was a mysterious phenomenon, and not "reflected light" or something related to SpaceX.
One of them commented, "I am curious because I too live in this area, closer to waco though. I agree it’s nothing to do with SpaceX McGregor.
"For those that are not familiar with what they do out there, they only do ground tests. Nothing is launched into the air."
Another user claimed that the Texan city of Waco is "a very active ufo area," adding that "not everything is reflected light."
Some of the commenters claimed that this was an unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP), and even included their reasoning behind the conclusion.
One of them wrote, "I say a UAP. Not Starlink and the way it changes form and then disappears leads me to that conclusion. [Thank you] for sharing."
Some commenters claimed that they had seen similar objects in the skies above the region, with one of them claiming that the footage Tipton posted is "why I joined this group. I’ve been seeing things like this for the last year. I’ve seen them during the day and night."
"I’ve seen something similar in Valley mills off [Highway] 6 looking west," wrote another.
Seeing the comment on his post, Tipton himself wrote a response debunking some of the theories posited by the commenters and proposing some of his own.
"I am sure many of you have looked for any Space X activity/launch/test via their very public website. Nada, nothing, zilch scheduled for today…at least publicly. And McGregor is ground testing only," he wrote.
"It's not Elon; especially since I believe there have been multiple sightings of the same phenom across the country and dating back to the 50's/60's, so while this may not be "new" tech….it certainly may appear to be is to the common, uninitiated, layperson."
"Project Blue Beam related??? Inter-dimensional shifts? String Theory? The red/pinkish "go fasts" seem to utilize a "warp bubble" or distortion of the air/atmosphere directly in front of them," Tipton theorized in his comment.
UFO or not, it seems one of the commenters made the most accurate assumption about the video when they wrote, "Could go viral."
