Here's one of a uap filmed by a drone over a forested canyon. The object is elongated and white. Then it does the unthinkable! It flies straight into the cliff face.

You mean the bird (always such crap video quality) soaring on the updraft (no need to flap) and seeming to disappear behind the rock wall shadow... where you can see it's form still moving, just no longer in the sun?

Nope..no wings or flappage and the uap disappears as soon as it enters the cliff. Birds don't do that. They also don't fly at full speed into rock faces. That would kill them. Also, show me a large snow white bird that flies around forested canyons. They don't exist.

LEARN TO READ. It was a very short post. It really shouldn't be that hard for you.

I literally said "no need to flap," because of updraft near mountainous terrain.
And if you could see worth a damn, you'd see the motion continues beyond the shadow.

But you've already made up your mind and will not even try to entertain anything but a mysterious UAP.
True believer ideology at work. Might as well be a cult.

Updrafts push a bird upward, not horizontally. That's why they're called UPdrafts. And there are no extended wings or pointed wingtips on the object. It is elongated or disc-shaped.

No it doesn't. A mere cliff shadow doesn't make a bright white bird invisible. We'd still see it. We don't. And the cliff shadow would extend much further from the cliff than where the uap disappears. All the trees underneath are in the shade. Oh and lookie! They're still visible.

It's crap video, dipshit. That supposed "disc-shaped" is wing to wing
Many of the birds in that region have darker wingtips and tails.

Birds can fly level in updrafts. It's about how much of the updraft their wings catch/deflect. Another thing you have no clue about.

Birds that appear to float effortlessly in the sky, maintaining a consistent altitude or even gaining height without flapping their wings, are likely utilizing a specialized flight technique known as soaring. This behavior is primarily enabled by updrafts, which are rising currents of air.

White objects appearing to disappear in shadow can be attributed to several factors related to the way light and shadows interact with the object and our perception:

Loss of reflected light: White objects appear white because they reflect almost all wavelengths of light that fall on them. When a white object enters a shadow, it's no longer illuminated by the direct sunlight, significantly reducing the amount of light it reflects.
Reduced contrast: Shadows, by their nature, decrease the overall brightness and often the color saturation of objects within them. A white object relies on high contrast with its surroundings to be easily seen, and in a shadow, this contrast is significantly diminished.

We do still see the shadowed object moving. You're eyes are just as crap as the video quality.

Interestingly, this amazing capacity for uaps to fly straight into solid rock or the ground is not unprecedented. Here's a clip from the series of "The Secret of Skin walker Ranch" of a uap flying into a rock mesa and then exiting it at another location. This matches the same behavior of the uap seen in the above video.

Nope..wings of birds are very distinctive even from distance. In no way do they look like elongated discs. And show me one large white bird that glides in forested canyon regions on thermals. An albino condor perhaps? lol

Quote:Birds can fly level in updrafts.

"Birds use thermals for energy-efficient flight, but they don't fly horizontally on the thermals themselves. Instead, birds circle within the rising thermal to gain altitude without flapping. After gaining height in the thermal, they then glide or soar horizontally to their destination, descending as they travel."

Quote:We do still see the shadowed object moving

No we do not. The uap just disappears into the cliff at high speed. Notice how the shaded trees below it don't disappear either. 9_9

There MR goes again, changing the subject. Not intellectually honest enough to admit he's wrong, so just try to distract.

This one is obviously a bird flapping, dipping into the low shadow of the setting/rising sun, and then rising back into the light. 9_9

LOL There's no sunlight anywhere in that video dumbass. The sun has already set.

No, they try to hide the fact by dimming the entire screen to highlight the bird. But right before they do, you can see the shadows cast on/by the trees below.
Again, your crap eyes.
