Does anyone have any idea what this might be? It has plenty of clues suggesting that it is authentic.
My first thought was of a flare that detonated.

At around 11:30 p.m. that night, the chopper's videocamera recorded a strange glowing object floating through the Long Beach sky. They forwarded the tape to local military officials, who couldn't - or wouldn't - identify it.
A copy of the tape was even given to KABC and broadcast around the world, but nobody could figure out what it was. [continued]

The commercial lanterns use a solid fuel block which when alight could have a liquid fuel drip onto them.
The point is, that devices can be made fairly easily that replicate the effects seen in these video clips
so these type of clips can't really prove anything. Now, if I see a clip of a metal disc flying through the air with some scaling to judge it's size and other factors that make it look hard to duplicate, then I would be more impressed and would look into it more closely.
russ_watters said:It could be a paracute flare that comes apart (that's what people say on the first page of comments), but that's a toughie because it doesn't seem to move much (if at all) wrt the stars in the background.
Someone else suggested a "candle balloon" - I've never heard of that, but I was also thinking a hot air balloon on fire. Some of the other comments are really funny...

Who said anything about this being flying saucers?
Newbie says Hi said:To me atleast, UFOs = "flying saucers".
st235711 said:\I have looked at many UFO type reports over many years and this is the first time I have ever seen reference to retrieved material in this sense. I doubt the impartiality (and truthfulness) of their information.
The Pdf file seems to just list this material with no further pictures or evidence and the video clip has little flash images spliced in--not quite subliminal , but near.
In my experience, the acronym 'UFO' is taken to mean 'flying saucer' by nearly everyone who reads/hears it - irrespective of it's definition.

...'Fireballs a few metres in diameter often popped out of the ground in a repetitive manner at distances of up to only a few metres away from the observers. Others were seen several hundred metres up in the sky, stationary or moving. Some observers described dripping luminescent droplets, rapidly disappearing a few metres under the stationary fireballs. Only two fire-tongues on the ground were reported, one on snow and the other on a paved parking space without any apparent surface fissure. The colours most often identified were orange, yellow, white and green. Some luminosities lasted up to 12 min.'...[continued]
The purpose of the video or experiment may vary depending on the specific project, but it could be for research purposes, testing a hypothesis, or developing a new technology.
The individuals or organization conducting the video or experiment may not always be disclosed, but it could be scientists, researchers, or a government agency.
I am a scientist and part of my job is to stay updated on the latest scientific developments and research. I may have stumbled upon the video or experiment through my own research or through collaborations with other scientists.
I am not at liberty to share details about the video or experiment as it may be confidential or still in the research process. However, once the results are published or the project is completed, more information may become available.
