@j Fake and gay. What, I'm supposed to believe that's infrared camera footage? Is that why everything is green? Nah, that's stupid video game logic.
1) night vision, infrared stuff is just boring black and white, grayscale.
2) if you're a science team tasked to investigate and extract something like this, you'll want proper color cameras, and a lot of light to actually see and document things.
This is someone color editing some footage they found until you can't recognize things, and then claimed "that white sphere with no distinctive features because I over edited the image is an alien egg, trust me bro".
As for the "wouldn't the pilots know!!!" argument people throw out all the time. Pilots aren't scientists. They're regular people, like you and me, that only know how to do one thing. That have trained their whole life to be excellent at one specific thing: flying an helicopter or plane. That's it. They could be the best pilots in the world, and not know the difference between an iPhone and Android.
You think that if they look out the window they can magically see the difference between a bird at a moderate distance or a plane at an insane distance? They don't have better eye sight than you. If you can get tricked by something you see at a distance, they do too. Which is why they have all kinds of instruments on board to tell them "hey, buddy, that's a plane coming right towards you", and they don't just eyeball it.
P.S. here's a real picture someone took in a deep dark cave. Notice how you can actually see things.
@j I'll be honest. To me this footage looks like it's filmed by someone just holding a long stick with the camera attacked to the stick. Aside from the audio (which could just have been edited in later), I don't see anything that convinces me this is shot from a helicopter.
Also, what's with the shadow from the "egg"? What time of day is this shot at? Clearly it's not at night, cause why would it have a shadow? Especially one so clearly defined. You could argue it's illuminated from nearby artificial sources, but it's more likely that would create multiple shadows, as the object is gonna be illuminated from different angles. Even the helicopter would have a light source, and I'm not seeing a shadow that would be cast because of that light.
And it's clearly not shot in night vision, cause again that wouldn't pick up a shadow like this.
One way or another, whoever released this video, edited the shit out of it. Which is reason enough to not believe it. I wouldn't be surprised if we're looking at an actual chicken egg.
You ever seen one of these videos, where everything is made to look like miniatures? You can do a lot with perspective to trick people.
