Out There (Page 67)

It is possible–just–that this is a release of balloons, but there are things that happen to it, such as the detachment and reattachment of fragments of the material that suggest that it really is something very, very strange. Frankly, I can’t even speculate beyond saying that maybe it’s some sort of insect colony. If it’s an alien, I’d be fascinated to see what the world it came from looks like. I think that this is the single strangest video Out There has ever posted.
It was sent to us by an alert reader.

Most Out There stories are about UFOs, bigfoot and other mysteries. It’s not often that we get a story of a miracle this extraordinary, and especially in view of the site’s last weekender, I thought that it definitely qualifies for inclusion here. A woman’s SUV was sinking in flood waters in the recent Colorado storms, and she was saved at the last minute. But there’s quite a kicker. Watch the video to the end and prepare to be amazed. Given all the evidence, and Whitley’s wonderful story of his own rescue by a guardian angel in the weekender, I have to say that your cynical old Out There editor is willing to say, while not proof of guardian angels, this does appear to be a genuine unknown.

Finally, a real sighting. This object was observed and photographed by an amateur astronomer and seen by many thousands of witnesses two nights in a row. It is an authentic unknown for the following reasons: 1, it was seen by many witnesses; 2, an astronomer (amateur, in this case) observed it through a telescope and noted anomalous characteristics such as color change that would be very hard to accomplish with a lighted balloon or quadcopter; 3, it did not fade out or suddenly disappear, but rather darted off, as noted by the astronomer.

This is the first time I have seen a video of anything that looked like this. If it’s real, you’d think that most of its life would be, to say the least, inconvenient. But who am I to say, your mere Out There editor? Whatever this is, it qualifies as being ‘out there,’ no question about that. I’ve sent the link to our video experts and will add their responses.

Two of our experts have weighed in:

Expert One: It’s fake. The contrived camera shake is even faker than the critter.

Expert Two: I don’t know, looks pretty good to me. Big bug.
