And strangely enough.. I've never tried to sell it. But.. It's on a whole other level for me.. As someone who likes to capture rare things. Now.. First you might be thinking.. Where's the reflection? This is a reflection challenge right? But.. The colors in the clouds are in a technical way, that effect is caused by light reflecting and refracting off of tiny ice crystals way up in the atmosphere.. So.. I think technically this would count as a reflection when I saw some other similar kinds of posts.. But if it doesn't count, feel free to disqualify it or let me know, cause I'm not sure exactly what the rules are.
Anyways.. A lil more story is needed for this. It's not just the iridescence in the clouds that make this one special.
If you look down in the bottom middle right area, just outside the clouds and in the blue sky.. You'll see a lil dot of light.
This is something I didn't notice until after I looked at the film. I didn't see it in person, for one the sun was just too bright and I couldn't even look up in that direction without being blinded and.. It was actually shot on video. So when I got home and looked at it.. I noticed this bright dot fly into the frame and I was like.. "Whoa! What was that?"
I went back and zoomed in and watched it over and over and.. Unfortunately I only got a couple seconds of this because my father who was also there told me to move the camera and I listened. So.. I may never know if it was a day time meteor or a UFO of some sort. But.. It is really in there, I had a scientist lady look at it and she confirmed it is real, she thinks it's a day time meteor.. I think it's a UFO. :) However, even if it is a daytime meteor, those have only been filmed to my knowledge a couple times in the world.. So you're looking at one of the few images of a daytime meteor, if that's what it is.. And to me that's awesome!
Even if it's really small and you can barely see it..
However. The story doesn't necessarily end there! I kept looking through the footage to see if there was more, and the video of right after this part.. Which was moved a lil but generally pointing in the same place.. Showed numerous more UFO's in it. This is why I think it was a UFO and not a meteor.. Right afterwards there's numerous more lil bright dots flying around in the sky, and the same scientist lady said she thinks they are birds, but we don't have any birds like that around here, or.. At all in the world in my opinion.
I have this footage on my old YouTube channel if you're curious and you want to see it I will show you.
But.. I am going to be working on putting a new video out soon on my new channel which goes into a lot more detail and which is much more professionally done.. I didn't know what I was doing back then and it's not very good quality.
There's a couple more weird stories in regards to this, like how right after it was taken the vehicle outside mysteriously turned itself on, like.. There was no key in the ignition and it turned itself on, which is a common report in UFO stories and something we had never had happen before.
And.. I had sent the footage to Bill Birnes at UFO hunters as well, and he told me to "Take it to an expert" and I was polite but I was thinking like.. "Wtf? You guys are the experts! You have your own TV show on the history channel and this stuff is a lot better and more compelling than much of what you put on there!!!!!!"
So anyways.. I've shown it to a lot of people, most believe it is a UFO, a couple believe it's birds or bugs. And I just got so busy I kind of had to shelve it.. I originally thought it would be a much bigger deal than it was, but.. It ended up gaining dust, though I do as I said plan to do a more professional vid about it soon, and include it in my full feature length Sedona documentary.
There's prolly some things I'm forgetting, though that's enough text for now! Would be happy to answer any questions anyone has if they have any.
PS.. Growing up in Sedona which is one of the hotspots for UFO activity in the US, I've seen so many UFO's I've lost count, probably around 30 or more and have a couple really crazy stories.. I'm definitely a believer that there is something unknown flying around up in the skies, even if it is just super secret government classified technologies.
