Morphing shape over England - multiple videos

I could only stomach a little bit of the video in the OP, but it looked like the first clip showed the flock appearing and disappearing - it wasn't like most starling flocks that I've seen. It might have been the flock flying into the background cloud layer, or some artifact of the way the light hit them, but it certainly looked weird, and I believe that if real, it might make someone believe that there was something unnatural going on.

There is also the way things look in lossy videos with cameras going in and out of focus.
 
Not birds. Outline shape is too regular and consistent. Probably fake. Large variation in the amount of cloud cover between the various video clips supposedly filmed at the same approximate time and location.

Why ask if you've convinced yourself we're all lying to you?

Going to a lot of effort to fake something I could have filmed most afternoons.

I was only referring to the first clip - as I said I couldn't stomach watching any more - and it was pretty well in focus the whole time.

Just watched the first part of OPs clip. It is low quality and the camera struggles to focus on the distant birds, while keeping focus on foreground. Note, I can see the overlaid logo sharply.

Ironic? No. It was an outright error brought about by ignorance of the correct spelling of the word falcon combined perhaps with lack of knowledge of Star Wars canon possibly brought about by Harrison Ford's regionally based pronunciation of the word which might have caused a lack of connection between the name of the ship and the bird.

That's not the meaning of "ironic".

"Falken" is the correct spelling in German, and maybe Danish, but not positive about the plural. I was always skeptical that English would have been the lingua franca in a galaxy far far away.

It isn't. The language spoken is actually called Galactic Standard - it's just translated for an English speaking audience.

And I think the uploader claimed that there were multiple sightings in different locations. So the birds not only managed to continuously produce the same shape with their flock, but different flocks were creating the same shape?

'The uploader' is Secureteam10, a YouTube channel well known for posting both hoaxed videos, and videos of the mundane being claimed to be paranormal. If you see anything on their channel you can be sure it's either a fake or something real being lied about.

Otherwise. they must have been trapped in a giant glas shaped like the Millenium Falken.

Or one flock was seen from different angles. It is a 3D shape they make, and I don't see anything resembling a millennium falcon.

The distance from Truro to Roche Rock is about 22km, so they're unlikely to be looking at the same event. Particularly with an estimated cloud base of ~400m and the apparent angle of elevation.

Have you done the actual maths? Just curious.

Really?

Here is some overlay from various timestamps centering on the recurring shape.

The shape itself is actually barely morphing, if at all. Only the visibility of the shape varies.
