Actually pretty interesting footage, doesn't look like a reflection or anything. Without being able to read chinese however it's hard to tell if anyone in the comments have any insight into it being a cg faker or something like that

Looks like a "reverse batman signal" to me.

A shadow cast at a distance has blurry edges. Those are crisp. Also, there are clouds that pass in front. I wonder if 1+ drones are creating this visual

If a government (any) could build and operate these type of aircraft - what would be their purpose? That is what I cant figure out.

Sun blockers? Mr burns style, but to fight global warming - giant kites that reflect light upwards and absorb from below?

IsaKissTheRain on Reddit commented:

8h There are multiple videos, from different angles. I also ran two of them through some software made for detecting artefacts of CGI. Nothing popped up.

The dialogue, since I understand Mandarin, also matches up and seems very genuine. -----------

Pitter patter.

Spooky but my vote is CG for this one.

Seems to be maybe 3 different videos caught this. They could be fake accounts but that’s elaborate

If you are working in 3D... it is trivial to output 3 different videos compared to one. All it takes is a bit of time to animate each camera and boom, you have 3 different videos all record it from different perspectives.

I'm a pretty skeptical person when it comes to stuff like this, but that footage is eerie. Really looking forward to having it explained. if its not CG then it's going to be a hard one to explain.

> Really looking forward to having it explained

We have satellites in space regularly scanning the whole planet. If you can see it from below you ought to be able to see it from above.

Per another Reddit thread ( https://old.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/o5r4hw/sped_up_shangh... ), there's a nightly lightshow in Shanghai this month in celebration of the CCP's 100th anniversary: https://twitter.com/shen_shiwei/status/1407341364858261512

This would effectively mean that the one we're seeing here is the cast shadow of a building, and that the sky itself is illuminated by the light. The "UFO" is in fact, a shadow
