UFO Sighting (Cigar Shaped) Filmed by Snowboarder in Aspen, Colorado

[COSMO]

This is not a new video, but just saw it and found it interesting.  Maybe some of the sharp video analysts on this site can give this a look.  It just looks very real to me.  It looks like there is some movement around the bottom of the object, whatever it is. 





It almost looks like a "tear" in the sky.

Any ideas on the one above. Just looks odd...but real...whatever it is.

ah man am I gonna sound like a non believer after that last comment I made

Cosmo..
it looks like a helicopter that dropped off a skier to me..and the guy continually looking so pointedly back makes me suspicious.  and makes me think it's a set up...
a snowboader with a selfie stick.....hummmmmmmmmmmmm
at 54 sec...it really looks like a helicopter to me

I find it amazing that the suns angle wouldn't be firing photons in our direction from them rapidly whirling light absorbent blades

hd too ,go protastic

It looks like a helicopter.

[funbox]

this one appears to have no tail fins or rotary blades

interesting , however does it prevent itself from spinning in circles

Are you expecting to see the tail propeller in those conditions?

As for the main propeller, I doubt the blades were in a position that would allow them to reflect the sun down to the camera, as they were (probably, I'm not a helicopter pilot) closer to vertical as possible to keep the helicopter hovering over the mountain.

But, even with the above, we can see that there's a brighter area on the side facing the sun that could be the result of a little reflection coming from the main propeller.

I don't see nothing no rotary of any sort , I do see that weird movement at its front , no landing gear though.

and where are the lights ? , surely there should be some flashing lights.. none

it looks like some kind of gnarly, old, gigantic sperm, sadly , about as close to a helicopter as I can compare

So, you are expecting to see the main rotor, the landing gear and the lights in those conditions?

I think you have seriously exaggerated expectations, considering the video we are looking at.

changed my mind..sorry...perhaps this can be totally wiped..

I think you have seriously exaggerated expectations, considering the video we are looking at.

I would also expect to see movement in the blue sky patch where the blades should be or anywhere around the edge,... nope, not much to speak of , just the general compression flux that happens in slight contrast changes and sometimes after re compression

full HD ArMaP , not some dodgy old security camera footage

as for conditions , I cant imagine visibility being any better , bright blue sky etc etc

Space Otter, it seems to me that in this the actual GO PRO short video has been put in several times, and we are seeing the same "looking back" over and over.......and over. In every sequence, when he stops, his every movement is identical, including his hand actions and blowing out of his mouth, so it must be "repeating".

Also to me, this "UFO" doesn't seem to actually moving in any direction. But, there does appear to be some sort of dark object that comes out/drops out of the right end of this thing.

So, probably the logical guess, as you and ArMaP suggest, is heliocopter.

full HD ArMaP , not some dodgy old security camera footage

Looking at an object 20 pixels long on a HD video or on a half-VGA video is the same thing, 20 pixels are 20 pixels (I used 20 as a random value, I didn't measure the object in the video), regardless of what the definition is you will always get things that do not have enough resolution to be recognised.
It's the same thing that happens with the Mars photos, why are all the "anomalies" far from the camera?

as for conditions , I cant imagine visibility being any better , bright blue sky etc etc

Conditions of the video, not weather conditions.

Dragonfly close to the camera lense 

There certainly are a ton of kinds of choppers in Aspen dropping skiers. Does it matter his camera would be set to focus on him?
