Anyone want to hazard even a crazy guess, as to what the heck this drone operator captured on video?
Fast ball... Ha

RedHotPoker

Just fast forward to 2:40

Haha, that's interesting

Say what? or why were those projectiles being propelled towards the drone?
Even a slight graze at that speed, would have destroyed the drone... Ha

RedHotPoker

First one are hail stones or ice balls. The air around the storm clouds is very variable and fast. The ice is formed in the cloud and then through out, so to speak. The one from the ground is in a fast updraft that is behind the drone. That is why things are going that way so fast. The one from the ground almost hit the earth before being sucked up.

The second is someone else with a drone having fun. The thing with light in the sky at night, there is nothing to reference the light to for size speed etc.

That is my story and I'm sticking to it.

Hail doesn't move at that excelleration, nor does it fall at a sharp upward angle. Haha
Send the video to your local meteorologist for analysis... ;-)

RedHotPoker

I believe

Hail is formed by being held and tossed around in a storm cloud, the longer it is held by the winds the bigger it gets until it weight enough to fall. Seems I saw some heading down as well as those sideways. The wind speed in a  storm clouds is enormous. No way to know the weight of the objects. May be very light with lot of trapped air. Thinking along these lines makes much more sense then UFO's. baseballs are any of those things. Very interesting catch on video. Seems users are catching some never seen before footage like the bird attacks. Neat stuff. Glad you posted this.

Video one is hail and video two is a drone.

Or another way of saying it is " A few of us refuse to disbelieve, but many people do". Same meaning, different canotation. I tend to remain agnostic on the subject of Extraterrestrials even though I know UFOs definitely exist. At least they do until they are identified. But being unidentified, in and of itself, does not mean there's no terrestrial explanation. I believe there is other life out in the universe, I just don't think they're here. Why would they look at us differently than the conquistadors looked at the Aztec and Inca people. The idea of an extraterrestrial visit just to study and observe runs contrary to what we know of life itself.

Think of our African Safari, as their Earth Safari...

But by ancient alien standards, we humans are the recent visitors, and they, were here thousands of light years before the Biblical human...

The Chariots of these Gods are them today...
They frequent our misery  and are surely entertained by our complicated simplicity.
Our dwarf International Space Station, must amuse their curiosity too. Hehe

Thankfully all the space movies and television shows have gotten us aware...
Remember My Favorite Martian, & Mork from Ork... List goes on... Star Trek, Star Wars.
Who could forget Buck Rogers, weeeeeeee

I'm sure it was just an oversight on your part, and you're probably aware. However a small correction to your statement is warranted. A Light Year is a measurement of  "distance" not "time".

I think that projectile originated from Uranus.

A light year is time too my friend. ;-)
Light travels at the speed of 186,000 miles, Per second
So in one light year, you do the simple math ok. Ha
How far does a laser shine out into space? In one second, 186.000 mikes, so in one year, the distance would be...

That's a light year, time and space, continuum.. Hehe
Stars are light years apart. Is it distance or time?
Our universe is billions of light years old then. Haha

Light and time are not equal, which doesn't explain this.

How many miliseconds are in a year...?

Anyway, have a peak at this, it refers to your ruler..

How far does light travel in a year? Light moves incredibly fast, sweeping past 299,792,458 meters in a single second. And so in a single year, light travels a total of 9,460,528,000,000 m, or 5,878,499,817 miles.

As you probably know, astronomers use the distance that light travels in a year as a standard measuring stick for calculating the largest distances in the Universe. The nearest star to Earth, Proxima Centauri, measures 4.22 light-years from Earth. The center of the Milky Way Galaxy is 26,000 light-years away. The nearest large galaxy, Andromeda, is 2.5 million light-years away.

When we see the light coming from a distant object, we’re actually looking back in time. When we see the light from a star located 400 light-years away, we’re actually seeing light that was emitted from the star 400 years ago. We’re not seeing the star as it looks today, but as it looked 400 years ago. A star could explode as a supernova, and we wouldn’t even be able to know it had happened until the light arrives here on Earth.

We have written many articles about the speed of light for Universe Today. Here’s an article about a beam of material jetting out for many light-years from galaxy M87, and here’s an article about a 400 year old supernova.

Want more info on light-years? Here’s an article about light-years for HowStuffWorks, and here’s an answer from PhysLink.

We’ve also recorded an episode of Astronomy Cast on this topic. Listen here, Episode 10: Measuring Distance in the Universe.

Wow!! That thing is massive

Plenty of onboard fuel. Hahaha

RedHotPoker

I bet its a raindrop traveling with the wind. If not I have no idea.. lol

Rain drops and or Hail stones, don't travel alone... ;-)

They are mostly always en masse. Ha

RedHotPoker

Could also be something dropped from a satellite or rocket...

Dropped or shot out of? That object wasn't falling...

Even in slow motion, it was streaking the sky.

RedHotPoker

Everyone is making a general assumption about the speed of the objects as being very fast. That assumption may not be correct because a super fast object coming out of a cloud isn't really going to look any different than a tiny object that is flying much slower and closer to the camera. The vanishing point of a large object maybe the cloud, but the vanishing point of a tiny object could be as close as tens of feet. The two would look no different and the speed is going to be relative to the ground below. It's all about perspective, or lack of it.

I'm chuckling over this one. He says it covered 2600 miles in five seconds, yet he referred to the actual speed as being 10's of thousands. In fact, if it travelled the face of the moon in 5 seconds it would be going about 1.8 million MPH, thats faster than the escape velocity of the sun. In fact it's faster than our entire galaxy moves through space. The moons gravity wouldnt be a factor, so how could it possibly roll and skip across the surface.

Ok, you seem bright enough, What do you make of this rather amazing discovery?

Light Speed is very relevant... ;-)

RedHotPoker

I find these subjects fascinating. Even in my rather uneducated views.

I guess that's why I search for new answers, and even bigger questions. ;-)

RedHotPoker

Anyway, it all amazes me...
