This is great video (to my untrained eyes at least), whatever it really is

Can anyone recognize the area, know any more about anything?

BTW some of the comments there are clever, but here are my criticisms:

"This is a Skip-Bomb
This is a Skip-Bomb experiment, developed decades ago to bounce one or more
times before going off on a predetermined impact. The idea was to bounce
these into enemy dams, so as to get a more effective horizontal trajectory
instead of just being dropped from the top. Never made it past the
development stage. I myself have had a plain, daylight sighting of a very
large, clearly other-worldy UFO, so I'm not down on UFO's, it's just that
this object is known to not be of ET origin."

Clever try, but why would a skip bomb be glowing white like that during
descent? That doesn't make sense, even after a first bounce. And painted
white still wouldn't be bright enough.


I've seen this video on the net before.  It's not a 'skip bomb' (the
only bomb I know of that was made for skipping was the British World
War 2 Dam Buster  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Chastise
which was rotated backward under the plane to skip like a stone on the
water). The wiki page on this raid is bizarrely compelling and weird.
Check this bit of medievalish heraldry: "The squadron badge ("on a
roundel, a wall in fesse, fracted by three flashes of lightning in
pile and issuant from the breach, water proper") was chosen and a
motto "Apr�s moi le d�luge" (After me the Flood)."

However, bombs not made to be skipped can be skipped: witness the
Israeli air raid on Saddam's Osirak nuclear reactor. Since the reactor
vessel's concrete was too thick for bombs to pierce, the F-16's came
in low and used their bombs to tilt the vessel off its foundation,
rendering it useless.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Opera

This video, if I recall, is something getting tested and failing big-
time. Might even have been a jet with a man in it; it's been too long.
I can't remember. I would have to find where I saw it first, and I
just don't see that happening. Too many videos out there. In any case,
it's clear that the camera was prepositioned to follow it; no trees in
the way, etc. hence, test.
