A timely reminder: YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU SAW.
This sighting of 4 silver discs from 2 years ago was captured on a phone camera and uploaded to YouTube where it quickly did the rounds.
Awesome footage! But wait...🧵
Because the photographer had the exact time and location of his sighting, the 4 "discs" were identified within 2 hours on Metabunk as the RAAF aerobatics team, the Roulettes, flying in formation.
Moments later they appeared on cue at a livestreamed memorial ceremony.
If the witness hadn't filmed the sighting, but only recreated it later from memory, and had he not found out what those discs were, he might've come up with this recreation afterwards. This image (R) is how his sighting would be forever memorialized.
Impressive!
There is no doubt whatsoever that these distant UFOs were the Roulettes. ZERO DOUBT. The photographer took them down from YT when he realized his error.
But he described the UFOs as silent. They were Shape shifting. They vanished into thin air!
So, next time you read a witness statement or see a UFO with your own eyes, remember that human perception is generally terrible and is always molded by your preexisting beliefs.
And if you ever wondered where the typical "flying saucer" shape comes from, maybe this is a clue.
These are the Roulettes moments later on the live broadcast, arriving to do their thing.
I darkened the image to simulate night.
This photographer thought he had incredible footage of UFOs...
when all he had was terrible footage of planes.

Seconds after the UFO footage was shot, the Roulettes - perfectly timed - flew over RAAF Base Point Cook where a livestreamed dedication service was taking place, to perform their aerobatics display.
