Any airplane experts? i need help!?

Question

A hobby of mine is to debunk UFO videos and most of them consist of airplanes and something odd about them; and so people assume they are UFOs.

But I am stuck on this one and I would like to know if any of you know what the glowing orb at the end of the plane is...any suggestions would be wonderful and all credit will be given to you!

Answer 1

Those are the plane's lights and the sun reflecting off of it.  The video is definitely not clear enough to determine anything for sure. But I don't see anything abnormal. I'm sure if there was a UFO that close to the plane and in broad daylight, at least one of the passengers would have seen it and alerted others and it would have been on the news. The aileron deflecting as the plane banked also caused the sun to reflect off the new angle. That's probably what the light in the middle of the wing was.

Answer 2

Maybe something broke off the end of the plane. =p.  who knows?

Answer 3

first, i gotta say, the video is not very clear, probably due to youtube( even when viewed in high quality, so if you have a better un altered version, please send it to me at eagle3666 @ yahoo.com

to me, it just looks like the sun flashing off the winglet of the plane. when the orb of the right side flashes, it is at the tip of the right wing, and the flash is also seen on the forward part of the fuselage, consistent with the sun reflecting off it. the orb is also at the right position to be the tip of the right wing.

the sun also flashes off the aft part of the fuselage a couple of times. again, the flashing is consistent with the reflection of the sun off other parts of the aircraft.

if you don't know what a winglet is go here

you can be sure there is no UFO following that Boeing 737.

click on aliens & UFOs.

amazing footage there. fakes and possibly real ones. bet you'll be stumped by most of them.

Answer 4

this is a Southwest Airlines 737 with wingtip extensions. The light is teh sun reflecting of teh wingtip extensions.

Answer 5

you know when you shut the seatbelt in the car door and it sorta just drags?

Answer 6

Seems pretty clear that it is the 90 degree "foil" on the top of the starboard wing reflecting sunlight.  By my guess, if you were facing north, then plan woud be traveling about 300 degrees east to west, with an early sun to your south east.

THat's would I think.  Other wise it's a tanker and your getting the same reflection off of the end of the fuel hose.

Answer 7

that would be the light on the end of the right wing..

Answer 8

The "orb" is 100% not a UFO in this case. It is simply a reflection of the sun off the right wingtip or in this case "winglet". The swept wing configuration makes it appear to be below the aircraft however if you look closely and follow the right wing out to the tip you will see that it is located precisely at the tip of the wing. If you look to the left wing / winglet there is also a large blurry verticle surface although it is at a different angle so the reflection is aimed a different direction. Both winglets are angled slightly outboard.

Answer 9

I have to agree with the otheres, its a wingtip.

Answer 10

you need help from airplane experts and you come here? hahahahahahahaha. seriously man, the "U" in UFO means unidentified. unidentified flying objects does not mean flying saucers from outer space. it means who knows what the fvck that thing is in a not too high quality video.

of course i didn't watch the d**n thing.

Answer 11

The sun shinning off the winglet.

Answer 12

Definitely sun's reflection on wing tip winglets. At some point on the video, you do see the faint outline of the wing connecting them to the fuselage.

The weird things is looking at the comments. The first guy had it right (winglet, he says) and then all the UFO's lover's got on him like ugly on ape. There is no hope in face of such stubbornness and ignorance, those people want to believe so bad, next they will forge fake evidences...

Edit: Look at all those down thumbs. Seems to me some alien lover cannot handle the truth.
