MiG intercept video of UFO

Hmm MiG-25? or perhaps MiG-31? view from the right angle they could look like that.
 
Looks to me like shadows on the cloud. As whatever is casting the shadow pulls up, the shadow appears to zoom away.
 
there are so many optical illusions that could explain these videos that it wouldnt excite me unless i saw a bunch of detail and possibly a dude waving at me. could be things on the canopy that appear to parallax when the camera moves in relation to it, etc. not very compelling but i guess the second one is slightly neater
 
Yo guys, this reminds me of something I saw once.

I don't believe in aliens or ufos, but I saw this thing in the sky one day that I couldn't figure out what it was. For the sake of simplicity I made a quick animation of it. Any ideas what it might be?

I've never hallucinated in my life, I definitely saw this, as well did my skeptical friend. Neither of us thought, nor think, anything of it except that it was kinda strange. It looked to just be a large aluminum tube, rather high up, rotating end over end, across the entire dome of the sky. It was travelling significantly slower than the clip portrays, but for filesize i sped it up. The rate of rotation was pretty constant. I'm in Toronto, in an area where there isn't many tall buildings nearby so we had a good look at it across pretty much the entire sky.

If you like UFO footage, it is all over youTube. The above link is even better (from same show), because it can't be a cruise missle.

That's realy interesting. I have no idea what that is. To me the larger object appeared to open up and the smaller object went inside it. I've seen lots of crazy crap while I was in the Army, tons of missile tests. So... it's possible to make something like this. but it's purpose?.. I have no idea.
 
"Hi, I'm Roger Moore's pickled corpse, and welcome to a complete waste of your next 60 minutes".

I'm really not seeing the "phenomenonal acceleration" of this thing. Nor how they were able to estimate its speed, as it appears to be travelling from left to right. I vote shadow, but really, it could be *anything*.

The MiGs will have been vectored to an intercept on a radar contact, but this need not be that contact. The intercept radars on the MiG-21s were pretty primitive by today's standards; they could have lost their assigned contact (which could also have been anything!) and spotted that and recorded it just so that they weren't sent to Siberia or something. Without a size reference, or a ranging radar lock (I don't think migs of that era could have derived range from a lock on this thing, assuming they could have achieved one), it's notoriously difficult to work out how big an airborne object (if it is an object!) might be, and how far away it is. There's no frame of reference at that altitude.
 
Declassified "Mig-21" footage, eh? ;)

At website I found with the same footage, someone called HaGintas says:

Absolutely a fake. The ejection seat in the footage is an ACES-II Ejection Seat. The seat is used on MODERN US fighters including the F-15, F-16, F-22, F-117, and A-10 and you would never find it on a Russian fighters from the 1950's. You can easily identify that the seat is in fact ACES-II look at the large slightly-exposed cylinder in the center of the seat and the two dropped pieces of metal near the pilots headrest.

Compare: http://www.xflight.de/f16/pe_org_par_ace.htm

In my honest opinion, I'm 99% sure that the cockpit footage is from an F-15E. See for yourself - notice a similarity? Look at the seat shape and the canopy style.

That's from just over half way down the page:

Also, someone called r00t3r says:

The most important part of the film is what you aren't looking at. The back of the seat in front of the camera shows the back of a McDonnell Douglas ACESII ejection seat. Used in USAF aircraft. I know caused I worked on 'em for 4 years. That footage is not from a MIG-21.

This is a picture of the back of an ACES II ejection seat. The only difference between the footage and the picture is the lack of personnel parachute.

Say, I never knew the Soviet Mig-21 used USAF ejector seats. :D

It's amazing that people look at this garbage and are convinced that those really are spaceships.

Good catch, wipeout (as ever!).

Here's a side by side pic of the ejection seat, for better comparison. The sketch on the right is from one of the links you provided.

Can a Russian ejection seat be so similar to the American one?
