“MrkBO8” has loaded this footage into YouTube with this note:

I recorded these UFO’s while filming helicopters and a parachute in Canberra. They are fast and hard to see so watch in large screen and I have slowed and used freeze frame to make them more easily visible. There speed makes them impossible to see without a camera.

They certainly look odd.

What a strange video, when I was coming home from Sydney on a Murrays bus last year I was looking out the window and I saw 2 objects just like what is seen in your video, the image at 1.08 stands out to me.

I pondered whether it was two birds, but there was no physical movement. I wondered whether they were 2 helicopters, but 1 they were too high and 2 they flew towards each other and paused for a few seconds, shortly after they continued to move in different directions. What kind of helicopters fly directly at each other and stop at high altitudes? Maybe they were weather balloons….I just don’t understand how they were both flying at each other at high speeds then they instantly stopped parallel to each other.

So anyway, no I don’t necessarily believe they are ALIENS (zomg) just something unusual….

The inability of what seems to be a large proportion of the population to identify natural phenomena is quite scary when you realise that these same people are often asked to recount what they saw in police and court investigations, and select leaders by a process of democratic voting.

Quite simply, the small white UFOs are wind-blown objects most likely feathers, danadelions and leaves, the bright white dot in the middle of this clip is almost certainly the parachute aircraft holding while descending away from the parachutists, and the last few dark UFOs are so obviously birds it isn’t funny.

I like to think I’m an optimist about the future of our species but seriously, doubts are creeping in more and more as time goes by.

Oh hell………………….I’ll unpack then!

Nothing to see here people, just a weather balloon or an experimental government aircraft.

I think one flew over the cuckoo’s nest.

Apparently our alien overlords cant fly for s***!!!

I spent years of my youth flying radio controlled models and videoing others doing the same. Bits of fluff and insects look exactly like what I’ve just seen. Nothing to see here. Move along..

I love the little white speech bubble at the end which says “They know I record them”.

Duh! That’s because you forgot to put your foil helmet on!

Have you forgotten everything you learnt at the AAAAA (Advanced Alien Abduction Avoidance Association)?

And that is just what the reptoid invaders want you to think.

lamest UFO’s ever!

Interesting, but I am going to posit they just are bugs flying into your field of view. Given the zoom on the camera and the closeness to you they would appear to be moving very quickly.

The white ones look like bits of fluff blowing by near the camera.
The dark ones look like insects or birds flying by at a distance that is much closer to the camera than the hang glider.

WTF…………???

Sure, that’s not weird at all. Apart from the obvious……………………………………anyone have any ideas at all (while I’m packing a bag awaiting the Astral Travel bus!!)
