Mick West | UFOs Filmed from Helicopters and Planes. Not So Fast! @MickWest | Uploaded December 2018 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
There are a few UFO videos that are shot from a moving helicopter (or plane) where the camera tracks what seems to be a fast-moving object.

The best demonstration of this effect now comes from Tom Churchill of Churchill Navigation with this video of a mylar balloon filmed from a helicopter. After the cameraman starts tracking the balloon it looks like it's moving incredibly fast over the background, but we can see it's just a balloon drifting in the wind, and the apparent motion comes from a combination of the helicopter motion, and the magnified movement due to the zoom factor.

With just a little math we can find out where the balloon is relative to the helicopter, and discover that it's not actually moving very fast at all!
