Anyone can submit a UFO sighting to the Mutual UFO Network. Even if you claim to be telepathically communicating with what one photographic expert calls “a balloon,” this organization will take you seriously. On Friday, an unnamed California couple photographed and videotaped a boomerang-shaped UFO that appeared high above their Burbank home.
“It was communicated to me, telepathically, that an orb had been released,” one of the witnesses said, according to the report. “It wasn’t until we reviewed our photos later that we actually saw the orb in a photo.” MUFON typically withholds names of eyewitnesses until its investigation is complete. People who’ve seen UFOs often fear they’ll be derided for stepping forward.
Nevertheless, Marc Dantonio, MUFON’s chief photo and video analyst, believes that the witness was mistaken. “I examined the video, and this appears to me to be a balloon, floating on the wind and that has collapsed in half,” Dantonio told The Huffington Post in an email.
“Viewing the video illustrates that it is flying at a very believable drift speed for upper level air currents. The video is not useful for anything else other than determining relative wind speed and drift speed,” said Dantonio, who also creates special model prototypes for government contractors. The husband was on the rooftop of their house, facing mountains north of Burbank when he first spotted the object. “I saw this white object in the sky. It was very apparent. At first I thought maybe an airplane, but it didn’t appear to be moving, so I called my wife. We grabbed our cameras and began to take video and photos of the object,” the witness wrote in his report to MUFON.
