I've seen something very similar to this in Smithville, Texas. My brother, a friend, and I were hanging out by a lake, having a few beers after a long day of clearing brush. We noticed what looked like a green egg flying across the sky, about the size of a star. The thing passes from one side of the sky to the other ,when two very small white lights, coming from opposite directions, at bullet-speed, on a path perpendicular to the green egg, collide with it simultaneously. The object then stops and becomes a single bright point of light, larger than Venus. Then in the woods beside us, I'd guess maybe 50 yards away, these incredibly bright, multicolored lights begin flashing. An object rises above the trees and slowly comes towards us. When asked to describe the thing, I am at a complete loss. It was a cluster, approximately 20 feet in diameter, of constantly morphing lights. The shape of the object the lights were attached to was impossible to make out. It seemed to be constantly folding into/out of itself. The puzzle cube in the Hellraiser movies comes to mind. I caught a glimpse at one point in between the bright flashes that reminded me of a fishing bobber turned sideways with something like t.v. antennas all over it. As it was passing directly overhead, I could have hit it with a rock. We saw the object for about 15 or 20 seconds before it drifted out of sight over the trees. My brother was left in a strange stupor and was unable to speak for several minutes. To this day he still can't remember the incident in any detail. He can only vaguely recall "lights everywhere." The other person present remembers the details the same as I.

The only thing I can think of that looks anything like that is a load of balloons tied together. But its difficult to tell with such bad quality...
If you had an out of focus camera and pointed it at a real-life giant cigar or oval shaped alien craft it would still potentially look like a big balloon.
Still an interesting vid though...

It's been done. It didn't help much.
looks like a cluster of crescent shaped reflective balloons. The sudden shifting and morphing movings in my opinion are an optical illusion caused by a combination of over-exposure sunlight reflections and grainy video artifacts.
I would have liked to have seen a non-image stabilized version of the footage to see if the movements were like a balloon drift or controlled trajectory.
It definitely caught my attention but after viewing it several times my conclusion is balloons...or creatures from the 12th dimension!

That's pretty darned weird. If it's balloons, then the whole thing has been serious distorted by the zoom - whoever is shooting it says that they're at 100% digital zoom, which would result in some fairly heavy artifacts. I think we need to know more of the back story - when, where, how did it appear, how did the episode end, etc.

"...shot by a Discovery Channel film crew in Mexico City on August 26th, 2008."
</object> Interesting video. If you look at the original video above the camera operator zooms out and shows what is presumably the Discovery Channel crew. The stabilized video appears to be from a consumer camera ("handicam...100x power" - digital zoom) that this guy is holding but you can clearly see somebody operating a large professional video camera with a large matte box/hood on a professional tripod in the foreground and he is clearly shooting the same object. Hopefully it is a pro HD camera with a long lens.
Where is the footage from that camera? If that is in fact a Discovery Channel crew I'd guess they are sitting on the footage from the nice camera. Anybody have a contact at Discovery that could comment on what the deal is?

That is very interesting.
I wanna see the footage from the large professional camera on the tripod!
There is a lot of strange morphing metallic images out on the web, very similar to this. They are always sort of far away, and curiously fuzzy.
Balloons? Maybe, but would a production crew get all excited about balloons? I feel like any team of grown-ups would be able to dismiss a set of balloons.
I watched a video by David Sereda (Yes, him) titled: VISITORS CALIFORNIA UFO WAVE. In it he actually lets a big shiny helium UFO shaped balloon go, and video tapes it for comparison. As silly as it seems it was interesting. Even when the balloon was way far away, it looked like nothing more than a balloon. It didn't seem to be anything else.
Balloons seem to have properties of - well - balloons. THey bob a little and they turn in a way that is from the wind. In most cases the human eye can (I suspect) discern a balloon.
Gotta give David Sereda a little credit for that.

Actually I think thats a great idea. I wish we would see more of that to use as reference points.

Well thats just it, they dont seem to be getting that excited. If it were me watching a real low flying low UFO, i'd be getting a lot more excited than that, they're just staring and pointing. And also a camera filming a camera crew. It all seems a little set up to me. Also it looks even more like balloons in this shot

Maybe it is a remote contolled plane with ballons of different colours tied on to it, just a theory.However the colours sometimes seem to expand outwards morphing of some kind?. really is a weird video.
At the start of the video the object looks stationary further on when they move in for a better look it looks like it is spinning ,weird.
