It was a blimp.
Almost.

A major blimp, but not quite a colonel blimp?

A-Limp: A 1943 etymology published in the New York Times confirms the British origin during the First World War when the British were experimenting with lighter-than-air craft. The initial non-rigid aircraft was called the A-limp; and a second version called the B-limp was deemed more satisfactory.[3]

That is brilliant!! I really find it interesting where words come from and I love the entomology of this one. Just have to wait for the right opportunity to throw this one into converattion over beer

No problem, Whiz. As for the footage, I think it's interesting that "some people" film UFOs more often than others. It's almost as if they knew the little guys would be there for the filming.

I think my girlfriend was abducted by about a million of those "translucent UFOs" last night in the tub.
