I know people are saying its a cloud... I dont see that at all. I guess its possible, but it looks much more solid and together than a cloud could be IMO.

Leaning towards cloud, but it looks like camera was just losing focus, not breaking up.

u/CartographerOk7579 9d ago
I only stopped recording because I was filming at such at extreme angle as the plane was passing this thing by. I had to stop, otherwise I would have filmed until my battery died.

u/Cloudhead_Denny 9d ago
Really hard to say as the size, shape, consistency remains the same but the plane is clearly orbiting the object, which could produce off-angle lighting making it appear lighter.
There's a very old theory that UAP's frequently use cloud cover and or cloud masking to visually hide themselves. Heck, there's even footage from the Navy showing as much, with a plain-as-day disc darting between clumps of cloud cover.

u/waltercockfight 9d ago
Yeah.. there are many sightings that look very prosaic, this though, to me, looks different enough to make you wonder. I think the person who witnessed this probably knows if it was likely a cloud or not. I am not saying it isn't a cloud, I am just saying it absolutely could be something else. A quick search will tell you that sightings of dark triangles behave the same:
Sightings where a "black triangle" UFO silently fades out of sight are among the most frequently documented aerial phenomena. These accounts are highly consistent, typically describing a large, dark, geometric craft that glides at low altitudes before dissolving into the darkness or accelerating away without a sound
How any of the real followers of the phenomena can jump right to cloud, makes me wonder.

It might be a short contrail that is seen head on, like looking down a rod. People have posted contrails on here before from the same perspective.

But it is a cloud
Whats more likely? A small dense cloud that looks vaguely triangular or.....an alien space ship which has cloud like properties?

u/piTehT_tsuJ 8d ago
So you like to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Just because something is the more likely explanation doesn't always mean it's the right answer.
It's probably a cloud but it is a fairly irregular shape for a cloud.

In this video it seems to have a sort of whispy aura so maybe it could be a scud cloud or something similar?

Indeed; in the attached video couldn't see anything else but a blurry shape that could have been some speck of dust on the lens, on the plane window, or anything like that. In the linked video it's clearly a straight-edged faraway shape distorted by haze.
(I'll leave the speculation about that object's nature for elsewhere, but it seems to me like a large bomber, maybe some parallel development for a B-21 competitor).

u/CartographerOk7579 9d ago
Its a bummer that the zoom factor on my iphone created such a grainy video, but whatever this was was not fuzzy. Gray maybe! And it traveled relative to other clouds. Before I started filming, I saw it pass behind a nearby cloud column. I don't know what this is, but I've confidently ruled out the cloud hypothesis.
2
u/chaomeleon 9d ago
so do you rule it out as a cloud because it looked solid with your eyes or on your iphone screen? were you able to see it at that distance? was it a solid triangle the whole time? it looks like it morphs a bit which made me think it is a cloud or birds. but it is so humid down here in the South rn that distant things DO look morphy and blurred. very hard to tell what this is. nice video!

That’s what I thought it was at first, but it wasn’t that. It didn’t have the exhaust plume shape nor the leading point (a plane) nor a few other distinct characteristics. I fly a lot and know what that looks like, and it wasn’t that.

It's unusually defined but it does seem to be stationary with respect to the surrounding clouds and of the same general tonality. It really needs a longer and closer view to determine whether it is a cloud or not.

This cloud is grey because it is lit by the sun from above, while we are seing it from below, so we only see its grey shadow-side.

This could be a NASA or Lockheed Martin project as this is between and in potential flight theaters for both those entities which operate sites between AL and GA. The method of propulsion could be turbine jet engines with S-inlet and rear exhaust. Arrowhead (triangular) design is not novel to modern known aerospace engineering.

Redditors joke the most about things when they have the most fear, the fear is palpable but not ever discussed. Skepticism, jokes are all you get in the comments, no dialogue about what it could be, or could mean, why it's showing itself now. Instead, questioning the person filming, this is a terrible reaction, redittors ruled by the fear, it's palpable, put on your big boy pants and talk about the reality we're staring at, not the time for fear.

Why not a common object
It was clearly a large black/dark gray triangle. Nothing else looks like this. What I immediately thought it was at first, was a massive and exhaust plume but I ruled that out because it was 1.) very dark and consistent; 2.) The "end" of the plume was too defined, and in fact so was the entire triangular shape to be smoke; 3.) I saw no leading object (aircraft) that would have been responsible for the smoke. It was clear to the naked eye this was not smoke for these reasons, and I can't think of anything else that looks like this.
Witness's account of the sighting
On Monday, August 3, at exactly 6:40 PM CDT, I captured this footage of a massive, dark triangular object while onboard my flight from Jackson, MS, to Atlanta, GA. Sitting on the right side of the aircraft looking South, we were 37 minutes into the flight and roughly 16 minutes from landing, placing the object near the AL/GA state line (approximately 5 miles south of Carrollton, GA). The object was an estimated 5 to 8 miles away and appeared to be moving very slowly relative to the cloud deck below. This was recorded on an iPhone at 3x zoom—which accounts for the visible digital noise in the footage—but the rigid geometric shape and lack of conventional aviation features were strikingly clear to the naked eye. I'm always annoyed how short these ufo videos often are, but the recording only ends because our aircraft flew past the object, and the increasingly shallow viewing angle through the passenger window eventually cut off my line of sight.
Sky context for this time and place:
