Colorful Shapeshifting UFO

On August 17th, 2022, at 6:13 p.m. I took my dog out into the backyard so that he could take care of his business. As soon as I stepped onto my covered patio, I was admiring a gigantic white Thunderhead cloud against a blue sky. I immediately noticed something that seemed like a balloon at first on my side of the cloud. Surprisingly it stuck out very well because it was a maroon color against the white cloud background. I estimate that it was approximately 3,500 to 4,000 ft in altitude. Something didn't look right, so I went back in the door to where I was storing my night vision binoculars. I turned them on, walked out, and immediately set up on the patio with a tripod.

I began to shoot a video of the object and thought I might lose it, so I moved the camera (night vision binoculars) and tripod out into the open part of the backyard without turning the camera off to save time. I aimed the camera at the object and filmed it for the bulk of the 15 to 20 minutes. Finally, there came the point where the camera on the tripod could no longer follow the object even though it was moving very slowly. That's when I decided to go into the house and look at the video because what I saw was bizarre. To my shock and surprise, there were only 1:13 seconds of video on my SD card. I immediately began to think that I must have accidentally turned the camera off after I moved it.

It took two days to realize that wasn't what had happened. When I set the camera up again out in the open, the first thing I was shooting video of was this object that had changed its appearance into what looked like a mace or metallic or stone sphere with spikes. Specifically, from my angle, it was an 8-point star. That is where the camera stopped shooting because the battery had drained even though I had a new power pack keeping it going. I had no idea the camera was drained of battery life and continued following the object.

I own three fully charged power packs, and I ensure that I never run out of battery life. At this point, I'm still thinking that I must have made a mistake. It wasn't until two nights later when I took the same camera and tripoded out and turned it on. I immediately noticed that the battery had been drained. What happened, and I'm sure of it, was that the object knew I was shooting video of it and did something to turn my battery into an empty battery. The good news is the first one, minute 13 of the video, was the best part anyway because the UFO was closest to my location at that time.

During the next several days, I purchased conversion software to turn an MP4 video into individual frames that are 2560 X 1440 pixels. The night vision binoculars are fantastic because they also shoot in HD and aren't just for nighttime shooting. As you will see, the video is very clear, and if you look at the individual frames, you will see that this thing is constantly changing. Out of the one minute, 13 seconds, about 27 seconds of me moving the camera. So the 47 seconds left with this object on it is a wealth of proof and stunning images of this craft changing. Please be sure to extract images from this video, or you will think it's a Balloon by looking at the video. The pictures in this video are proof of a UFO that can change its appearance rapidly.
