Morphing shape over England - multiple videos

Someone made a clip of collecting multiple videos of a morphing shape over England / Cornwall.

My first reaction, flock of birds. But the shape is to consistent.
So, it is obiously the Millenium Falken having problems with the new cloaking device that Chewie just installed.

Or maybe just multiple video fakes.

 
As a youngster in Inverkeithing (a town only around a mile from the Forth Bridges as the starling flies) I used to watch these birds start to flock in trees then, as if a starter gun had been fired, they would take off as one and complete a few minutes of murmaration. The memories of those displays have never left me and, as Darat says, it is mesmerising.

I suspect that they no longer roost on the bridges as they now have measures in place to prevent this due to issues with fouling. This bird was ubiquitous in my youth, now I seldom see them such is the level of their decline.
 
This might be something to do with the Eden Project in Cornwall. I saw what sounded like the topic title referred to there, but I do not know. I'll see if I can find a link.

Otherwise. they must have been trapped in a giant glas shaped like the Millenium Falken.

And I think the uploader claimed that there were multiple sightings in different locations. So the birds not only managed to continuously produce the same shape with their flock, but different flocks were creating the same shape?
 
Secure Team 10 are known fraudsters, who specialise in making fake videos. Strange, is it not, that the UK press hasn't picked up on it, and not one of my friends or family there have noticed anything.

It's birds.

With so many flying together, formations are used. Like geese in a "V". When the formations start excitedly looping themselves... a pattern is formed. Shifting, swirling, and reforming... over and over.

Small, fast moving, schooling fish do the same thing.

Beautiful, and amazing to behold.
Seems to spook the alien abductee crowd a bit though. :rolleyes:
 
Yeah, starlings. Used to watch their antics.

They look even better in lossy YouTube clips.

It's "Falcon" for goodness sake...... and "Millennium".

You seem pretty sure about what it's not. How about, instead of the Star Wars shtick, having a go at telling us what you think it is then?

That was ironic, wasn't it? :D

Ironic? No. It was an outright error brought about by ignorance of the correct spelling of the word falcon combined perhaps with lack of knowledge of Star Wars canon possibly brought about by Harrison Ford's regionally based pronunciation of the word which might have caused a lack of connection between the name of the ship and the bird.

That's not the meaning of "ironic".
 
It's not birds, for the reasons carlosy describes. Looks like a relatively straightforward bit of fakery.

I can't write, but you can't read. ;)

As I said in the first post, I think it is fake.
 
Odd that the surfer with his HD Go-Pro that certainly would have produced the best image only videos the anomaly for a fraction of a second. Odd too that no matter where this is videoed the shape is exactly the same. Natural phenomena such as birds murmarating produce random patterns. The patterns created in this video are repeated in each video.

I could only stomach a little bit of the video in the OP, but it looked like the first clip showed the flock appearing and disappearing - it wasn't like most starling flocks that I've seen. It might have been the flock flying into the background cloud layer, or some artifact of the way the light hit them, but it certainly looked weird, and I believe that if real, it might make someone believe that there was something unnatural going on.
