A witness submitted UFO video from Vancouver, BC, with motion analysis. The "upward" motion could also be motion toward the observer. Do you have some idea what this might be?

It's true, and this sort of thing is often very discouraging, pushing good people away from the topic.
The exploitation of the UFO subject by bigots, the intelligence community, charlatans, etc., is most relevant among demographics which refuse to acknowledge it. Many of the sensational stories they promote have roots firmly grounded in the campaigns of bad actors. UFO partisanship is often king.

A photo submitted to us by a serial experiencer. Two people in a car saw an unidentified light moving rapidly towards them while they were stopped at a traffic light in #Minnesota. They were terrified and thought they were in mortal danger.

The east entrance to Skinwalker Ranch in 2013. We didn't try to brazen it out and just walk in - this wasn't Bohemian Grove.

Pretty much all the video you see in real life is heavily compressed and processed. The compression algorithms are pretty clever, so we don't perceive much loss of detail, but it would be a mistake to take it too literally.

Folks, when you shoot UFO videos, please don't zoom in too much! Zoom OUT if you have to, to include reference objects in frame.

We still find this UFO video a little puzzling, especially if we believe the witness that phone did not move during the clip. Also, the lights are not in synch as they likely would be if they were reflections.
