Japanese Volcano UFO appears in video

indeed

Where exactly i do not see anything..

It's not a camera anomaly because i've seen it on other videos posted of the volcano.

It appears (a faint white dot) at the 44 second mark
and flies from the left to the right in the middle of
that ash cloud

No idea what it is OP, but good spot!

Found another video which shows it more clearly. It crossed my mind that it could be a largish, out-of-focus bird flying across the view much closer to the camera, but it is very difficult to discern against the backdrop of the volcanic plume. There is a distinct up and down motion and, occasionally, wings seem to appear before it devolves into a blurry pixel or two.... Whatever 'tis, it's interesting.

Brilliant video you link to - it shows it much better.

I did wonder about it being a bird...but when you consider the speed alone, despite it being 'pixelated', it's much faster than any bird could achieve.
If it was a bird much closer to the camera, hence the fast speed, i would expect, despite the resolution, to distinguish the bird features better.

When it exits the plume cloud to the right, there is heavy shadowing on the object, which shows it up to me more round shaped.
Although, the shadowing really isn't a consistent shadow of the sun, so i do wonder if it was 'flickering' on purpose to try to blend-in with the cloud?

Interesting isn't it?

There have been a fair few UFO's spotted in volcano videos over the years.
I wonder if it has to do with them 'charging-up' from such events, as has been suggested of lightening storms and UFO activity, or whether the UFO's themselves have anything to do with the eruptions..ie. cause them!?!

There is another thread ( i can't link it in this window right now) that shows a very close up view of a UFO white ball shooting out of the top of this volcano.

You should be able to see that thread in the threads listed at the bottom of this page.

why not a plane?

no one finds it odd that a hd camera was recording it, despite it being a surprise?

The wiggly path / way it's moving had me discount a plane.

Many cameras on phones now are HD ...so it's common to have HD footage of unexpected events.
