Case 21-023 (Isle of Man) closed as low strangeness Unidentified
Case 21-023 were three objects of highly variable brightness observed and recorded on video by two witnesses in Douglas, Isle of Man. They chased the objects in a car until they were no longer visible. Since we were unable to confirm that the objects were moving with the wind, we can’t conclude that they were balloons, although the movement is not anomalous and is consistent with balloons. Furthermore, assuming they remained near where they were when they last disappeared, they would have to be very large. Birds were also considered as a possible explanation. although the identification wasn’t clear.

Runtime: 64 minutes, 9 seconds
API Case Files is the official podcast of Aerial Phenomena Investigations.
In this episode, Marsha Barnhart examines closely an Identified case in Colorado, and a Brooklyn case closed as Unidentified. Paul Carr covers his recently closed-as-Unidentified case in Manhattan, and Prof. Antonio Paris briefly outlines his most recent case still under investigation in Texas.
Antonio, Paul and Marsha discuss the attributes of what they’re looking for in prospective investigators to join the API Team; that discussion began with the scientific and academic communities extreme reticence to engage in UAP and anomalous phenomena research.
Paul Carr presents the 8th installment in the series Unidentified Science, this time on Scientific Skywatching.
