1 00:00:05,210 --> 00:00:02,389 just last night overnight a story broke 2 00:00:07,490 --> 00:00:05,220 that there was a first a UFO sighting 3 00:00:08,690 --> 00:00:07,500 over Montana I don't know if you've seen 4 00:00:09,950 --> 00:00:08,700 this 5 00:00:11,450 --> 00:00:09,960 um basically there's a video of someone 6 00:00:13,310 --> 00:00:11,460 filming the moon and saying no there's 7 00:00:15,169 --> 00:00:13,320 the moon and they put the camera way 8 00:00:17,810 --> 00:00:15,179 over to the left and there's a very big 9 00:00:20,450 --> 00:00:17,820 bright light just sitting in the sky 10 00:00:23,330 --> 00:00:20,460 it turns out and the Pentagon is 11 00:00:25,550 --> 00:00:23,340 confirmed it was a Chinese spy balloon 12 00:00:27,050 --> 00:00:25,560 so this has basically came out in the 13 00:00:28,849 --> 00:00:27,060 last eight to ten hours during the night 14 00:00:30,470 --> 00:00:28,859 here in the UK you're based on Portugal 15 00:00:32,450 --> 00:00:30,480 so we're on the same time zone so it was 16 00:00:34,729 --> 00:00:32,460 like early early morning and I just 17 00:00:37,310 --> 00:00:34,739 wonder we've now got some very close 18 00:00:40,250 --> 00:00:37,320 images of it how common is it do you 19 00:00:42,470 --> 00:00:40,260 think that we have not just in the UK or 20 00:00:43,610 --> 00:00:42,480 Portugal or particularly I'm guessing 21 00:00:45,709 --> 00:00:43,620 the US 22 00:00:47,930 --> 00:00:45,719 Ford and Technology 23 00:00:49,430 --> 00:00:47,940 in the skies that people just 24 00:00:51,170 --> 00:00:49,440 potentially misidentify but how common 25 00:00:53,810 --> 00:00:51,180 is that that we've got these spy 26 00:00:56,150 --> 00:00:53,820 balloons and whatnot just there 27 00:00:58,250 --> 00:00:56,160 I mean over the mainland of U.S I 28 00:01:01,430 --> 00:00:58,260 haven't heard of anything 29 00:01:04,250 --> 00:01:01,440 honestly because there's satellites 30 00:01:07,429 --> 00:01:04,260 you know so you can't stop a satellite 31 00:01:08,750 --> 00:01:07,439 from overflying the U.S yep you know and 32 00:01:11,810 --> 00:01:08,760 it's legal 33 00:01:15,649 --> 00:01:11,820 so it seems much easier to do that 34 00:01:17,330 --> 00:01:15,659 rather than fly in a Chinese uh balloon 35 00:01:19,310 --> 00:01:17,340 space balloon that can be obviously 36 00:01:22,070 --> 00:01:19,320 picked up and identified you know so 37 00:01:23,570 --> 00:01:22,080 this I actually I do as I was walking in 38 00:01:25,130 --> 00:01:23,580 I saw a headline for that you know 39 00:01:28,670 --> 00:01:25,140 Chinese uh 40 00:01:30,289 --> 00:01:28,680 uh spibelin which makes sense right I'm 41 00:01:32,570 --> 00:01:30,299 sure we have 42 00:01:34,010 --> 00:01:32,580 systems you know nor again you have 43 00:01:35,990 --> 00:01:34,020 satellites so 44 00:01:37,249 --> 00:01:36,000 what would this by balloon do that you 45 00:01:38,990 --> 00:01:37,259 know a satellite could it's going to 46 00:01:40,010 --> 00:01:39,000 give you continuous coverage in that 47 00:01:41,870 --> 00:01:40,020 area 48 00:01:43,969 --> 00:01:41,880 you know sustained coverage rather than 49 00:01:45,350 --> 00:01:43,979 just just flying by so 50 00:01:47,569 --> 00:01:45,360 I've actually 51 00:01:49,130 --> 00:01:47,579 curious now look as we La we launched a 52 00:01:50,289 --> 00:01:49,140 space balloon you know for the UAP 53 00:01:54,230 --> 00:01:50,299 society 54 00:01:55,670 --> 00:01:54,240 and as a it was a weather balloon and 55 00:01:57,770 --> 00:01:55,680 basically 56 00:02:00,469 --> 00:01:57,780 from what I understand every kind of 57 00:02:02,749 --> 00:02:00,479 medium-sized weather facility in the 58 00:02:05,929 --> 00:02:02,759 world I'm guessing releases weather 59 00:02:07,069 --> 00:02:05,939 balloons almost every day yep so so 60 00:02:09,050 --> 00:02:07,079 you're going to have a lot of these 61 00:02:10,969 --> 00:02:09,060 weather balloons out there flying around 62 00:02:13,070 --> 00:02:10,979 thousands of them 63 00:02:16,010 --> 00:02:13,080 which is surprising I didn't see more as 64 00:02:17,809 --> 00:02:16,020 a pilot you know I did yeah I did see a 65 00:02:19,850 --> 00:02:17,819 couple but but that's it 66 00:02:21,770 --> 00:02:19,860 so there are thousands of thousands of 67 00:02:23,210 --> 00:02:21,780 these flying around so it would make 68 00:02:26,390 --> 00:02:23,220 sense if you're you know foreign 69 00:02:28,790 --> 00:02:26,400 adversary to make a a weather balloon 70 00:02:30,410 --> 00:02:28,800 but it has other sensors on it and and 71 00:02:32,030 --> 00:02:30,420 then just disguise it as a weather 72 00:02:34,130 --> 00:02:32,040 balloon you know I'm sure that's been 73 00:02:36,350 --> 00:02:34,140 done 74 00:02:38,210 --> 00:02:36,360 um so yeah I don't know off the borders 75 00:02:39,650 --> 00:02:38,220 for sure I think off the borders you you 76 00:02:41,270 --> 00:02:39,660 know there's always but we always we're 77 00:02:43,610 --> 00:02:41,280 told that there's you know Chinese 78 00:02:45,589 --> 00:02:43,620 fishing vessels Etc anything could be 79 00:02:47,630 --> 00:02:45,599 over the oceans so in international 80 00:02:49,550 --> 00:02:47,640 waters but that's the first time I've 81 00:02:50,390 --> 00:02:49,560 heard Overland some sort of foreign 82 00:02:52,550 --> 00:02:50,400 system 83 00:02:54,229 --> 00:02:52,560 and it seems like a old-school 84 00:02:56,509 --> 00:02:54,239 technology is available in but like you 85 00:02:58,490 --> 00:02:56,519 say it does have its advantages 86 00:03:01,550 --> 00:02:58,500 um over a satellite but you'd think in 87 00:03:03,470 --> 00:03:01,560 2023 we keep hearing what our technology 88 00:03:05,210 --> 00:03:03,480 that we see is 30 years behind what 89 00:03:06,890 --> 00:03:05,220 they've actually got so to thank the 90 00:03:08,150 --> 00:03:06,900 Chinese are still putting balloons above 91 00:03:10,190 --> 00:03:08,160 the US 92 00:03:12,470 --> 00:03:10,200 but you see that doesn't surprise you 93 00:03:14,630 --> 00:03:12,480 that that technology is deployed because 94 00:03:16,910 --> 00:03:14,640 it's pretty useful 95 00:03:19,130 --> 00:03:16,920 yeah that's what I found is it's quite 96 00:03:19,729 --> 00:03:19,140 cheap 97 00:03:22,430 --> 00:03:19,739 um 98 00:03:23,869 --> 00:03:22,440 and you can put it up to a very high if 99 00:03:25,750 --> 00:03:23,879 you can get it to a high altitude it's 100 00:03:28,550 --> 00:03:25,760 very difficult to detect 101 00:03:30,589 --> 00:03:28,560 especially with radar because it's not 102 00:03:32,809 --> 00:03:30,599 moving and that's what we've seen a lot 103 00:03:35,030 --> 00:03:32,819 is off the east coast uh you have the 104 00:03:38,089 --> 00:03:35,040 range follow reports and basically they 105 00:03:39,890 --> 00:03:38,099 they have uh these box orbs and everyone 106 00:03:42,050 --> 00:03:39,900 you know they say oh it's obviously a 107 00:03:43,009 --> 00:03:42,060 balloon Etc well unless there's high 108 00:03:45,110 --> 00:03:43,019 winds 109 00:03:49,490 --> 00:03:45,120 you know that that is a huge negative of 110 00:03:52,210 --> 00:03:49,500 your balloons is you know at least I 111 00:03:55,729 --> 00:03:52,220 don't know how to keep a large balloon 112 00:03:57,229 --> 00:03:55,739 stable in high winds yeah so that that's 113 00:03:59,869 --> 00:03:57,239 probably your biggest negative is how do 114 00:04:02,089 --> 00:03:59,879 you control these systems but I have no 115 00:04:05,030 --> 00:04:02,099 doubt that the US has some you know 116 00:04:07,490 --> 00:04:05,040 classified space balloon observation 117 00:04:09,110 --> 00:04:07,500 program it just seems like you know we 118 00:04:11,149 --> 00:04:09,120 have low earth orbit 119 00:04:13,550 --> 00:04:11,159 and then we have aircraft 120 00:04:15,649 --> 00:04:13,560 you know with your with your spy planes 121 00:04:17,930 --> 00:04:15,659 Etc like your Predators your MC12 that 122 00:04:19,610 --> 00:04:17,940 you saw at the mosul orb those are low 123 00:04:22,430 --> 00:04:19,620 altitude though you know air breathers 124 00:04:24,290 --> 00:04:22,440 in between that low earth orbit and down 125 00:04:25,730 --> 00:04:24,300 at the ground is you know hundreds of 126 00:04:28,010 --> 00:04:25,740 miles 127 00:04:30,770 --> 00:04:28,020 so that whole area 128 00:04:32,450 --> 00:04:30,780 you could put in vehicles some sort of 129 00:04:34,430 --> 00:04:32,460 vehicles in that case I would see it as 130 00:04:36,170 --> 00:04:34,440 some sort of dirigible so 131 00:04:39,290 --> 00:04:36,180 I don't know it's definitely possible 132 00:04:41,510 --> 00:04:39,300 but my big thing against that is if you 133 00:04:43,430 --> 00:04:41,520 have high winds then your whole balloon 134 00:04:44,870 --> 00:04:43,440 idea this whole idea that all these 135 00:04:46,670 --> 00:04:44,880 things are just balloons you can make 136 00:04:48,530 --> 00:04:46,680 anything in the shape of you can make a 137 00:04:50,210 --> 00:04:48,540 balloon into any shape by the way you 138 00:04:53,330 --> 00:04:50,220 know balloon animals exist for a reason 139 00:04:56,090 --> 00:04:53,340 Batman yeah yeah anything you can make 140 00:04:57,290 --> 00:04:56,100 it again there's balloon animals okay if 141 00:04:58,909 --> 00:04:57,300 you're curious if you can make a balloon 142 00:05:01,430 --> 00:04:58,919 in anything just YouTube you know 143 00:05:02,749 --> 00:05:01,440 interesting balloon animals 144 00:05:04,850 --> 00:05:02,759 um so you can make a balloon into any 145 00:05:06,230 --> 00:05:04,860 shape right so they obviously even a 146 00:05:07,670 --> 00:05:06,240 flying saucer that's going to be a 147 00:05:09,830 --> 00:05:07,680 balloon right everything can be a 148 00:05:11,629 --> 00:05:09,840 balloon unless it's in high winds 149 00:05:14,629 --> 00:05:11,639 and then the question is how do you 150 00:05:16,430 --> 00:05:14,639 maneuver a balloon right in in high 151 00:05:18,409 --> 00:05:16,440 winds I don't know how 152 00:05:19,670 --> 00:05:18,419 remember George Knapp had released those 153 00:05:21,170 --> 00:05:19,680 pictures now 154 00:05:23,810 --> 00:05:21,180 the last couple of years have been a 155 00:05:26,510 --> 00:05:23,820 blush so last year or the year before 156 00:05:28,610 --> 00:05:26,520 um the three snaps from the the pilot 157 00:05:30,230 --> 00:05:28,620 yeah and one of them did look well we 158 00:05:32,510 --> 00:05:30,240 had the famous Batman villain didn't we 159 00:05:34,010 --> 00:05:32,520 which was everyone said it was and you 160 00:05:35,150 --> 00:05:34,020 know that's still up in there for debate 161 00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:35,160 literally 162 00:05:41,150 --> 00:05:37,680 um but one of them did look like a big 163 00:05:43,730 --> 00:05:41,160 kind of blimp balloon and I wonder does 164 00:05:46,310 --> 00:05:43,740 this sort of Discovery overnight of this 165 00:05:48,469 --> 00:05:46,320 Chinese Bible and above the us maybe 166 00:05:50,749 --> 00:05:48,479 help point to that previous one more 167 00:05:53,090 --> 00:05:50,759 than likely being some kind of foreign 168 00:05:56,270 --> 00:05:53,100 Tech balloon that was placed there or is 169 00:05:58,550 --> 00:05:56,280 that still unlikely do you think 170 00:06:00,230 --> 00:05:58,560 yeah it's definitely likely I mean 171 00:06:02,029 --> 00:06:00,240 they've been that's been the main 172 00:06:04,610 --> 00:06:02,039 argument right is that this is some sort 173 00:06:08,210 --> 00:06:04,620 of balloon and if you look at that 174 00:06:09,950 --> 00:06:08,220 that's the acorn uh sphere blimp uh 175 00:06:13,129 --> 00:06:09,960 video that actually my most popular 176 00:06:15,050 --> 00:06:13,139 short by far is is on that okay 177 00:06:17,090 --> 00:06:15,060 if you look at it too that blimp looking 178 00:06:19,430 --> 00:06:17,100 thing at the end it actually does look 179 00:06:22,850 --> 00:06:19,440 like a Tic Tac actually if you consider 180 00:06:24,469 --> 00:06:22,860 what a Tic Tac uh if you consider the 181 00:06:26,150 --> 00:06:24,479 shape to me it all it looks like a Tic 182 00:06:28,909 --> 00:06:26,160 Tac 183 00:06:30,469 --> 00:06:28,919 so I would say that is the best mundane 184 00:06:32,570 --> 00:06:30,479 argument that's literally the only 185 00:06:35,029 --> 00:06:32,580 mundane kind of argument I can consider 186 00:06:36,590 --> 00:06:35,039 is that it's some sort of advanced 187 00:06:38,809 --> 00:06:36,600 dirigible 188 00:06:39,950 --> 00:06:38,819 the the biggest question is again in all 189 00:06:43,189 --> 00:06:39,960 those in a lot of those East Coast 190 00:06:45,170 --> 00:06:43,199 sightings is they would say high winds 191 00:06:47,570 --> 00:06:45,180 um but the problem is I've never been 192 00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:47,580 able to correlate okay those pictures 193 00:06:52,309 --> 00:06:49,919 with them also saying high winds they 194 00:06:54,230 --> 00:06:52,319 haven't said the date of the pictures uh 195 00:06:56,090 --> 00:06:54,240 we don't know yeah so I can't get any 196 00:06:57,710 --> 00:06:56,100 more data all I have is those three kind 197 00:07:00,110 --> 00:06:57,720 of crappy pictures four four kind of 198 00:07:01,670 --> 00:07:00,120 crappy pictures with no correlating data 199 00:07:05,029 --> 00:07:01,680 but if we can correlate it to the same 200 00:07:07,430 --> 00:07:05,039 day and that day has high winds 201 00:07:09,409 --> 00:07:07,440 uh and you have those Pilots saying that 202 00:07:12,230 --> 00:07:09,419 yeah it was like 150 knot winds out 203 00:07:15,050 --> 00:07:12,240 there at 27 000 feet then there's no way 204 00:07:17,090 --> 00:07:15,060 this like you know this Chinese space 205 00:07:19,010 --> 00:07:17,100 blimper or whatever balloon they're 206 00:07:21,110 --> 00:07:19,020 talking about unless it has 207 00:07:23,150 --> 00:07:21,120 engines on it there's no way it's going 208 00:07:25,370 --> 00:07:23,160 to stay in the same position in 150 knot 209 00:07:26,809 --> 00:07:25,380 winds it's just that would be
