“This Soviet Air Force footage was obtained by a group of Russian ethologists and declassified by the USSR’s Ministry of Defense just before Boris Yeltsin took power. What we’re looking at is footage from the CET camera of a MiG-23 Flogger, which was scrambled to intercept two unknown targets. What we see now is the apparent merging of the two targets. Here is the same shot, slowed down. These are clearly not typical flight characteristics of NATO or any other conventional aircraft. The MiG lost visual contact with this object or objects, and there has never been any official identification.”
I wish there was more footage of after the two objects merged, just to get an understanding of it as one overall piece as well. If it did merge, I wonder if it was purely technological, like the docking to hyperspace rings in Star Wars, with nice clunky metal dovetails and clamps, or if there’s more to it like it’s [inspired by nature](https://www.sciencealert.com/these-freakish-ocean-creatures-can-combine-as-one-when-injured) and uses nanotechnology or something we can’t quite conceive of yet.

Literally looks like 2 jets flying in formation and one jet blocking the view of the other one or am I crazy

Could it be shadows from other jets above the one recording?

This terrible collection of pixels really tell us nothing.

One object obscures another. “Two merge into one” is annoyingly wrong.

Is it being the Boeing of Russia a good thing or a bad thing?
