2001-Budapest, Hungary. A military pilot recorded this brilliant disc-shaped UFO on videotape on September 29.

The pilot stated:

To my left, I saw a bright metal plane shaped like a perfect disk. I tried to shoot the object, but did not try to chase it, as I could not match its speed.

BUDAPEST, Hungary. On September 29, 2001, a military pilot recorded a spectacular video of an object from a silver disk. The ship flew to the left of him, and then very quickly flew past him in the clouds, as can be seen in the video.

"I was flying over Budapest, Hungary," said the pilot, who asked not to be named until an official request from the Hungarian Defense Ministry was completed. "To my left, I saw a bright metal plane that had the shape of a perfect disk. I was careful when shooting the object, rather than trying to chase it, as I couldn't match its speed. When I was flying a reconnaissance plane, I came up with the idea to shoot it on camera, and I used our equipment."

Defense officials did not respond to questions about the video when asked, and cautioned that they had no official comment. Despite the denial, when they were told the pilot's name, they admitted that he was a real Air Force pilot and that he had actually flown photographic reconnaissance planes.

The pilot considers the video to be his property, not the Hungarian authorities, as he operated the plane while not on duty and transported it as a service to save the government money. 

Now he has hired a lawyer and wants the video made public. He hopes that this will happen thanks to the release of several frames.

Original news

BUDAPEST, Hungary – A military pilot recorded a spectacular video of a silver disk object on September 29, 2001. The craft was flying to his left side and then moved very fast past him in the clouds as can be seen in the video.

“I was on a flight over Budapest, Hungary,” said the pilot, who has requested that his name be withheld until the official inquiry by the Hungarian Ministry of Defence is complete.

“To my left I saw a bright metal aircraft that was the shape of a perfect disk. I was careful to film the object, not to try and chase it since it I could not match its speed. As I was flying a reconnaissance aircraft, I got the idea to film it and used our equipment.”

Officials at the Ministry of Defence would not answer questions about the video when asked and warned that officially they have no comment. Despite the denial, when informed of the pilot’s name, they did acknowledge that the he was a real air force pilot and that it was true that he flew photo reconnaissance airplanes.

The pilot considers the video he made to be his property and not the Hungarian governments as he was flying the plane while not on duty and was transporting it as a favor to save the government money. He has now hired an attorney and wants the video to be released to the public. He hopes the release of a few frames will make this happen.

Капля (или загрязнение) на объективе или стекле

Often it's a small point on the photos, like hovering metal ball. At least - this is quite a big blur. Color, brightness and the presence of a highlight depends on the color of the reflected light source, background shooting and drop form.

Shape, color and density of pollution may vary depending on the source of the contamination and its nature. This can be as a desired pattern on the glass, and random.

Shooting chips, cracks, bubbles and similar defects glass

Defects glasses off on photos and videos, due to the similarity of forms and "metallic Shine" to "classic UFO".
