I'm just curious what everyone makes of these recent "cylinder" videos (the first two were posted 11/14 on YouTube by MrMBB333.)

I find the first one somewhat compelling. I know there are plenty of people who mistake airplanes for "tic tacs" simply because they're filming with a camera incapable of resolving the finer features of the plane (in which case the plane just becomes a white capsule-shaped blob.)

But is that what's going on here? At first glance, it feels like we should be able to make out some structural features such as a tail or wings at this distance. But is this simply another example of a camera turning a distant plane into a blob?

Same question with the second video, though I do find it somewhat easier to write this one off as a blurry plane.

The third video is the recent Minnesota "meteor" video (and I can't yet bring myself to see it as a meteor, though I'm certainly no meteor expert).

Just thought it was interesting that three intriguing tic-tac-esque videos should surface in such a short time.

Curious what the community thinks.
