Apparently Milwaukee has nuclear seagulls flying in our sky?

So this has been making the news here in Milwaukee. We’re actually seriously being told this is a flock of seagulls?! If someone can rationally explain this to me I would love to hear the explanation. Any theories other than glowing seagulls?

Wow! Very interesting! Thanks for sharing this, I’m forced to agree with you on those NOT being seagulls...

Swamp gas weather balloons.

Ball lightning

Swamp lightning balloon aurora.

But the "strategic" PSYOPS scheming didn't die. What if the U.S. projected a holographic image of Allah floating over Baghdad urging the Iraqi people and Army to rise up against Saddam, a senior Air Force officer asked in 1990? http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/dotmil/arkin020199.htm (http://archive.is/ULjzC)

Ice particles

This is interesting.

Also, there's a video at the bottom that looks taped from another angle..were there are really seagulls...but that dosen't explain the strange lighting in the first video.

We need to know the shutter speed etc of the first camera. The things are moving in a pattern that could be a group of bird, but there isn't enough detail in it.

Chinese lantern. Sky sperm?

Didn't Dean Koontz write a book where it rained sperm?

The Taking

That was it! Read it many years ago. Good novel!

What in the actual hell? Most interesting photo I've seen in a while..that's for sure. The blur pattern lines are very interesting.

Very odd indeed

Wow this is actually incredible. I can't think of any plausible thing this might be. Or if it could be faked?

One comment on the /r/videos thread suggested a reflection of tetra fish. Considering that it really does look like fish.

I would also assume that if those things were actually there and not just a weird reflection on their webcam that tons of amateur footage would be appearing.

Here’s your first example of amateur footage showing a DVR recording of a different live news camera angle with the same lights.

https://youtu.be/RMHtCBrW3N4

Well. What the fuck.

Ok. That's freaky. Paging, Special Agent Mulder.

ok now someone can’t tell us that these are god damn fish like what

So the link I posted yesterday has changed today? They’ve now added two other videos taken on February 21. Also this bit of news of some in Milwaukee seeing a meteor last night...wtf is going on in Wisconsin!

I wish I could hear some of the whispers of the news casters. There’s a few inaudible voices I can hear, but can’t make them out. I also wish I could find more video, but this is all I’ve found.

It's the new Chinese New Years drone kites. I just saw a video of the damn things somewhere on the site and now I can't find it.

Thanks for posting this. IMO, this is one of the most plausible explanations I've seen yet. The seagull explanation is utter BS and I was buying into the Tetra fishtank explanation until I saw that it was seen in multiple cameras.

Right there with you. As much as I want to believe (Mulder), I still approach these videos with a skeptical mind. I also bought the tetra fishtank reflection. But I don't have an explanation for the other angles. Drone kites do seem plausible at the moment, but I'm not fully convinced yet. Hopefully more footage comes out!

i would think in the original news video, those lights are way to high for drones not to mention how many there are..

Birds with LED tags.

Whoever said these were seagulls must have never seen seagulls before.

There a video at the bottom of the link that shows the “flock” they found in the city. The birds are clearly at a different height and not flying to the degree the video shows. It just sounds like some random theory they decided to go with to try and perhaps reduce a panic. We have seagulls all around the city and nothing like this was ever captured before. Just crazy weird.

The seagulls are flying REALLY low almost 20 feet above the courthouse.

Those "seagulls" in the original are like 100-150 feet minimum away from any building with a light source to make them glow like that. Real fucking odd. I was downtown yesterday for the Buck vs Wizards game and passed by the courthouse, didn't hear or see any seagulls they would have been down low eating all the shit everyone dropped.

I just found this image of the brightest pixels in the first 500 frames. No way that’s seagulls!!

lol I’m Wondering how many people believe the news there

For real?

That's insane. I usually can explain stuff away with different possibilities. But, this - ah, no.

Maybe a flock of seagulls. But, I'm not too sure about that. What it was/is? I have no clue.

Seagulls simply do not fly at the height these things are shown to be at.

If it is aliens that's piss poor timing on their part...

"Take me to your leader"

"I'd rather not... can't we just Netflix and Chill?"

Netflix and probe

Wow check out the new news about the meteor seen in town last night.

https://www.facebook.com/fox6news/videos/10155608837036523/

Also the link I posted in the OP added a video saying the traffic cams picked up something similar on February 21. Last line of the article states “We do not have a clear explanation for that video either”. What is going on?

http://fox6now.com/2018/02/28/what-in-the-world-eerie-scene-over-downtown-milwaukee-captured-on-camera/

Ah... This is awesome, thanks, I heard it on my coworkers radio at work, but didn't catch it all. Thanks.

Check out the thread on reddit. Full of shills and zealot skeptics. Such a sad thread. Highest rated comment isn't even a top comment but a reply to one turning it all into a joke so the plebs laugh it up and assume its seagulls because haha you idiots aliens?

Society reminding me how fucking ignorant the masses.

Thank you. I just found it. Probably a mistake to comment, but I did. Preparing to be downvotes to oblivion. It may be full of skeptics, but I see a few legit comments. I’ll take a few over none!

You think it was aliens?

What I think is that any dumbass who says it's seagulls HURDUR are you retarded? Is just as stupid as the person who says. OMFG ITS ALIENZ GUYS. rt right now!!!!!

You see once you research it you can find out that huh it's not seagulls. There is no evidence it is extraterrestrials other by than a connection of aliens potentially being in the sky. The fish bowl behind the camera makes some sort of logic but unless you can prove there was a fishtank behind the camera. Okay so whats left. Do we know if anyone saw this in person? Do we have any other supporting evidence. No?

Let us weigh the options. Oh wait there are too many.

Here is what I think. Do I want it to be aliens? Fuck yes!

Do I allow that bias to mess with my judgement values? No. Why? Because the evidence suggests we don't know!

And that is what I think. Get a fucking scientific body together and study this phenomenon.

Aliens would be the absolute worst outcome, and the end to humanity. Imagine the germs we aren't immune too, man that shit would wipe out our species

Nah we’d just give them the common cold and fuck them right up.

It doesn't work like that.

Unless an alien culture developed germ/bacteria warfare, which it likely couldn't, any germs they bring to our planet wouldn't have evolved to feed on us.

When trees first appeared there were no microbes around to eat the fallen leaves (which is why we have oil now and will never have t again).

As time went by, micro organisms evolved which started eating the fallen leaves, because of the massive uncontested food source.

Stuff has to evolve to eat other stuff, it doesn't just happen immediately.

If you went to another planet would you put the first thing you discovered in your mouth?

That’s patently incorrect.

Microbes existed for probably three billion years before the first trees.

did the microbes that digest lignen and cellulose exist then?

no they had to evolve.

I think hes talking about the "seas of dead wood" that covered the earth. Apparently trees were around for a while before anything learned to feed off of them so fallen limbs and trees would just stay there untouched until huge wildfires came tearing through. Eventually some microbes learned to digest the woof and the rest is history.

leaf eating microbes didn't... because they wouldn't have anything to eat.

Lol this is such pseudo science made up bullshit.

Mushroom have been around half a billion years longer than trees.

what does that have to do with anything?

Mushrooms don't eat leaves.

To your first points... Just no.

To your second? If I was offered space acid from aliens I'd probably eat it.

"Just no". No Neil deGrasse link telling me how I'm wrong and that we need to be massively afraid of space germs, just no.

Oil didn't come from trees, just no.

How closed minded are you that you have the audacity to reply to my comment with "just no" ?

As for your second comment, I'm sure you're that stupid you would.

Your comments towards the people that beat me to it were just as retarded. So I didn't bother. You think you know how science works. But it only works the way you think it does? Compared to a peer reviewed HUGE group of people who critique eachother? That is just asinine.

Also. Space acid would prolly be pretty dope.

What peer reviewed huge group are you referring to?

I'm not "asinine" for having a different opinion... and why do you assume I'm below this group? I've studied microbiology enough that I can speak with confidence... what are your credentials?

I doubt you've ever tried a psychedelic but good luck with the space acid, whatever the fuck that is.

Ok honey. Just pat yourself on the back and have fun misusing those credentials.

Sorry mate, I'm not gay.

This is another video showing the lights from a different angle. Our shots are both from live news cameras and they’re in different spots in the city but they both show the lights. Something is actually there in the sky.

And aliens is now higher on the probability list. Hah!

I'm not 100% sure, but I think that-that might be from a different date. A few days earlier than OP's video. (?)

Even if you are correct; what would you propose that it is? I'm not jumping straight to aliens. But it isn't fucking seagulls.

The video is from an earlier episode of the same phenomenon. I don't believe that it is seagulls, not even for a half-second.

It's just not a "Different Angle"...it's a different day. Same weirdness, a few days earlier. Not the same instance.

I noticed this as well. Now that I see someone else is also significantly interested in this - here’s an article I found seemingly on the same objects ALSO IN MILWAUKEE although from three years ago. At that time an army paratrooper claimed it was them but similar lights were seen in Osaka which makes things more suspicious. The videos of the objects in the article are no longer available for viewing which piques the conspiracy theorist inside me.

https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_55bbc2ede4b0b23e3ce2b8c9

Note that the article describes the objects in a way that could be very reasonably describe the objects we see in the more recent videos. The images appear to be consistent. Even more interesting, the “explanations” for the objects are all the same - birds, balloons, lanterns. Very strange stuff.

Woah

Relevent name

Sadly I think they do.

They're pretty - they look like a school of fish. There was a moment when they looked like they were writing something - I wish I was a cryptographer.

Someone just posted this in another thread. Brightest pixels in first 500 frames

https://m.imgur.com/a/qrFTH

This image is terrifying. Makes it look like a "war of the worlds" invasion, with the tentacle legs.

This image is terrifying.

Please.

Strange timeline we're in.

People are saying fish tanks and seagulls, which don't make any sense at all. You gotta be super ignorant i guess if you just can't admit extraterrestrial life exists. Side note, I did see a similar video on this kinda of pattern in the sky but it occurred in a cloud. I'll try to find it

No, you have to be super ignorant to think a bunch of pigeons are aliens.

Are you thinking of a murmuration?

Could be the news station faking it to go viral. It's like when they put a weathetman in the snow and let a plow truck bury him in snow on purpose, or they accidentally draw a dick in the weather patterns. Oh look what they did by "accident." Anything you see on TV can be fake, anything.

"Believe nothing you hear and half of what you see"

I first heard this from my favorite high school history teacher. Then he said Drudge Report was the leading place of real news (mind you, this was 2007-2009). But still, that statement never left my mind. Fuck the show in front of the curtains, let me talk to the actors. Better yet, let me just see the director.

My first thought was a drone light show or something. No idea what it is but it's pretty awesome non the less. It's definitely not seagulls tho.

There was a video of similar phenomenon posted tonight in a local FB group a few hundred miles south west of this.

Happen to have a link?

Link is broken now.

would like a link

Here is a link to a second video that was taken on February 21 and discovered by a Milwaukee viewer. It didn’t make any news until the news broke about the event on the 28th. I’m not sure what Facebook video the original comment was referring to, but here is another link I’ve found about Milwaukee. We also had a meteor appear in he Milwaukee sky last night.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=RMHtCBrW3N4

Birdemic much?

Now I'm all for the aliens and the spiritual stuff but I really do think this is a reflection of a school of fish in tank on the window the camera is pointed out of. If you follow one object it moves like it was water, the lights tend to spark up similar to the eyes on a fish and pop up in similar fashion to whatever the light source is. I've seen random local news organizations have something odd like this pop up that always ends up being something on a window. So I'm starting to think it may be intentional but thats where I think the conspiracy is.

Although it could also be spirits swimming around the firmament to fuck with us. Definitely not seagulls. Could be a message, project blue beam. Maybe it was redlettermedia discovering the worst VHS movie ever created opening Pandora box.

dunno lol

I definitely thought their movements looked as if they were swimming through water. I also thought of the dome.

Everything about the flock type movement screams fish to me.

Maybe they are alien sky fish, but they are definitely fish.

Look into "Rods" or "Air Rods".

Aren't those just bugs captured weirdly by cameras?

Or entitys from another dimension, what ever floats your belief system.

I'VE SEEN THIS IN ATLANTA TOO. Back in October went outside to smoke while absolutely trashed at a friend's birthday and had I not dragged everybody else out of the house to look at them I would have chalked it up to being drunk af.

Funny enough that same friend just texted the group chat earlier today saying her bf saw them again and posted a video on FB. I'll try to find it and share with you if you're interested!

Of course!

I am an idiot. He posted THIS video. My bad, fam. Maybe one of the girls has a video tho. Hmm...

Someone sent me their video but there are about 12 pixels in the whole thing and you can't even make out the dots. Typical.

I think you mean ironclad proof that extraterrestrials are visiting Earth.

Another video has come out and was recorded on February 21 of similar lights in Milwaukee

https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=RMHtCBrW3N4

Well then

A lot of people weren't happy about this. It was quite controversial at the time and flocks (heh) of bird lovers picketed the event.

For sure looks like these could possibly be the culprit, though I'm still not sure I'm convinced.

What do you think it is?

No idea! Never seen anything like it. Your bird explanation is the most plausible so far though.

How is it plausible if that's not how birds fly?

Incredibly weird when the most plausible explanation is aliens.

Or just scratches on the camera?

I have seen birds appear like this just before sundown driving East on the interstate in North Dakota. They were illuminated by the sun going down in the west. I pointed it out to my family because it was such an amazing sight. The only difference was that it was in the middle of nowhere, the birds weren't as hazy and it was a little brighter out.

Maybe some sort of drone displays, but one would think that the source of them could be found if that is the case

You've negated your own suggestion.

With the way they were moving... shit I am truly at a loss here. I want to say drones but drones wouldn't leave trails like that and drones like that over an American city would be shot down. This is truly so weird. I have never seen anything like that.

The trails are created by using a low shutter speed.

The image with the trails is supposed to be marking the brightest points over a certain amount of frames. Not just long exposure.

I've been trying to discuss this here. Even Fox says the seagulls are just a theory. Found it impossible to explain this to readers of r/videos

Does Wisconsin even have seagulls? I thought they liked oceans and not Lake Michigan.

Yes, they do.

Why not take the time to Google it before asking?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_birds_of_Wisconsin#Gulls,_terns,_and_skimmers

Seagulls? Thats the best they could do? fuck man I'm ready for another life this one here is shit

That's what happens when you use a camera with a low quality cmos in low light conditions, with reflections off the lights on the bottom sides of the birds.

Yeah those are not birds

If it were seagulls, then would this not have happened many times before? It’s not like seagulls just show up every 20 years lol

The video clip in the link was allegedly taken by someone named Amy DuPont. DuPont family.

Maybe by "Flock of Seagulls" they were implying you should run...run so far away...

Typical MSM, can't come up with a reasonable explanation so they come up with an even less reasonable explanation.

Its the reflection of a fishtank on a window.
