Audio from NASA's Mercury-Atlas 7 mission (May 1962) captures astronaut Scott Carpenter observing luminous particles during sunrise, which were subsequently identified as ice crystals from the spacecraft.

A user analyzes released UAP video PR067, arguing that a bright spot's wavering movement at approximately 3Hz is consistent with seabird wing-flapping rates rather than a UAP.
A Metabunk analysis examines a thermographic video from November 2020 attributed to Corbell, reportedly showing a large disc captured by U.S. Air Force reconnaissance equipment at coordinates in Afghanistan.
A Reddit user argues that several UAP videos from a recent release, including footage labeled 'UAP USO Formation,' actually depict birds, citing visible wing flapping at specific timestamps.
