14:08 I am from Palmdale and saw this happen in person. I was just as freaked out at first. Turns out that these were balloons that people released with lights attached for someone who passed away.

Bruh, that squarespace integration was gold! 😂

16:25 I feel pretty confident these are floating lanterns. they are flickering with fire, they took off all at once and are now being displaced by the wind in the same direction

OMG, that lens flare thing scared me. It was so obviously a lens flare I thought he was actually referring to the sun in the shape of the crescent moon and asking the audience, "WHAT IS THAT?!"

We all know that those are not COOL SUNGLASSES, they are VFX Detectors. 😂

16:32 It looks like sky lanterns, I remember seeing something similar in Cail before, it looked just like this

Someone with a smartphone sees something they can't immediately recognize: "It's an ALIEN."

14:14 These lanterns are for Rapunzel. Let me explain: The townspeople send up thousands of glowing lanterns into the sky every year on her birthday, hoping that Rapunzel will be guided home

Lack of contrails simply means the conditions weren't right to form contrails. Planes don't always leave them, not even at high altitudes. Also, they can happen in very narrow altitude bands.

That ad read was smoother than my brain

The green laser beam at 10:14 is obviously a Minecraft beacon

Thanks for the shoutout! Really good episode! We debunkers gotta stick together. ;)

5:28 Their reaction...priceless! LMAO 🤣

About the plane shadows: When the eclipse is near totality, only a thin linear shaped light source remains. It affects the shadows in one axis way more than the other. That's why you can see the fuselage shadow but much less the wings.

"The internet loves to just blatantly lie and make up stuff all the time, trying to pass it off as real." Well said, Wren. Well said.

Someone at corridor needs to sneak random little cgi aliens into the backgrounds of the ufo videos

That was probably the best introduction to a sponsor I have ever seen. I can't say how many times I rewatched that 😂😂

The guys moving from examining possible UFO sightings, to examining possible USO (Unidentified Submersible Object) sightings, is giving me seriously creepy "X-Com: UFO Defense -> X-Com: Terror from the Deep" vibes... and I'm here for it!

That "pinhole camera" effect is actually a real-world proof of parallax. I remember the eclipse of 2017, and seeing how incredible those parralax shadows looked. And when I was fully prepared for it to haopen again this year, i kep telling everyone to watch the shadows from trees as the moon was moving into position. I also got ready with my telescope and used a sun filter plus my uv proof sunglasses to take pics before totality. When totality began, I took all the filters off, and got some INCREDIBLE pictures of the plasma arcs and solar flares in my backyard. Since it was so high in the sky, the flares were a brilliant pink hue that could been seen with the naked eye. But since I had a telescope, I could see each arc change and evolve over those couple minutes. It was absolutely gorgeous and awe-inspiring. I remember even praying and thanking Hid for the opportunity to allow us to see this nearly miraculous phenomenon. It had rained and been cloudy every day for a week before the eclipse and did the same thing for a couple days after. The fact that it was perfectly clear on that one day alone felt likenit was meant to be

Regards to the giant green lasers, in estonia a museum area had these running and was a bit freaky seeing them in the dark, people were actually complaining, that it basically messes with night animals really badly.

That transition into sponsor segment was smoother than the smooth criminal

This is my favorite corridor series, please make this a weekly series! Like this comment if you love debunking videos!

"Are you saying not all the water is equally moist?" I laughed out loud.

I love how they’re using the “debunking makes me feel good” soundbyte😭

Corridor Crew having to do this cause Captain Disillusion isn’t posting anymore lol

Transition to the SquareSpace was flawless..

@corridor Crew, the unknown video at about 15:00 looks like cloud seeding to me, which is happening in CA. In some cases, small rockets are fired into the low atmosphere and disperse large clouds of particles to attract moisture to them and form real clouds. These clouds sometimes contain metallic substrate, typically aluminium. This makes them light enough to move with the wind as seen in the alternate angle but solid enough to reflect light.

TikTok is like if 5-Minute Crafts and ‘the ice bucket challenge’ had a baby.

seeing everyone put funky shades on and not just sam put a smile on my face haha

I love these debunk videos. There is a TON of bogus shorts on every social media platform.

4:04 Something about Sam's delivery of "This shot stumped me" was exquisite

Guys? What is this new "debunking makes me feel good!" Thing?😂😅 And now it said "guessing makes me feel good" 😂 16:50

Wren shouting "Dolls!?!?" got me where I live.

The ad integration was top-notch

The "airplane shadow". I was east of Dallas in Greenville, TX, and there were two layers of cloudcover moving in different directions. Right after totality I saw a crescent shadow speed across the clouds. It could've easily been mistaken for a UFO but it was the same pinhole aperture effect - gaps in the higher clouds projected the crescent shadow onto the lower clouds. It was super cool to see.

When we in socal get a partial solar eclipse, I love the tree leaves providing dozens of eclipse shadows...

God damn.. The sponsor segment intro pun got me 😂😂😂

I love the Bunkin' Brothers.

The transition to the ad was so good that I actually saw it.

The green Turkey laser reminded me that back in the late 90's we would see green laser pulses coming from the Sorrento Valley area. One night after work, my mom and I went looking for the source and found that it was coming from a Qualcomm building.

"so that's what it's like" got me harder than it should've

That was S-tier ad transition. I'm not even mad lol.

I have to say, I see many great videos of you guys, but I think your greatest achievement was the editor that had the idea to use the Ghostbusters theme to make the "Debunking makes me fell good!" audio transition. Bravo.

At 16:44 or so those are probably just a flock of birds catching light at dusk.

14:15 Its fireflies. You can see by how fast they ar emoving in the second clip, and their movements in the first clip. Lights are moving around and overlapping each other at various speeds, and in the second clip, you can see how fast they move between the rooftops.

Fun fact, lens flares are actually aliens in disguise, everyone. If you see a lens flares, run

Thank you guys so much for the debunking series! My family sees these clips and thinks that there's aliens and I don't have the knowledge to debunk them myself. The plane over the clouds clip in particular had us arguing for an hour but I had no way to demonstrate that it was a plane.

The Ghostbusters "debunking makes me feel good" was the best reoccurring bit. Please keep it going

Okay but that squarespace Segway was beautiful

Wren: “So THAT’S what it’s like.” Beautiful.

18:17 so your telling me not all water is equally moist got me rollin

How do you debunk the fact that I was just thinking about your UFO debunk videos, and you just now upload one.

A generation that lives on their phones but don’t understand lens flares.

Love these series guys, thanks and keep m coming!

I can’t get enough these debunking (and a lil guessing) videos

It's really embarrassing to read a lot of the stuff on that UFO subreddit. Like, sure, I want to maybe believe in aliens, too, but I'm not being stupid and embarrassing about it.

come on guys I really wish you would investigate this: Turkey UFO Incident. Kumburgaz, Turkey between the years 2007, 2008 , and 2009.

Probably the best placed product placement on KZfaq, ever.

5:37 Sam was honestly thinking about firing him for that one 😂😂😂

Petition for Corridor to do a React episode with Dan Povenmire (the creator of Phineas and Ferb)

The couch setup looks like the Covid formation

"When the internets' dumb, who you gon call DEBUNKERS!" 🎵🎵🎵🎵

I love watching these debunking videos, just to learn about the debunk or hear them explain each debunk

Wow this video changed the trajectory of my scientific research

Satellites don't usually twinkle like that. My guess is that this is either a bunch of floating lanterns or a cluster of fireflies Edit: Couldn't have been fireflies, didn't realize it was shot in CA

Love this show! Keep knocking em down!

And the award for smoothest transition into a sponsored segment goes to...hahaha

I saw this yesterday floating around and thought immediately “ I hope Corridor debunks this swiftly”

16:31 that’s fireflies yall

5:31 is that Jordan Allen laughing in the back? Haha

It boggles me how, in this day and age where everyone has a camera on their phone, how many people are still completely baffled by what a lens flare is.

This is gonna be awesome

Bruh, wtf is a fridgerator

I am from Stuttgart (Germany) and can confirm that it was a fantastic laser show by the company "Trumpf". But still, even many people here thought it was something extraterrestrial and called the police. Btw it took place in august 2023.

We are DIVING to see more water clips

It’s amusingly ironic that Wren uses “criteria” to refer to a singular thing and “phenomenon” to refer to plural things. The Grammar Goons might need do an episode on these words soon. Their recent episode on ECK SETTERA versus ET CETERA was inspiring.

8:53 I instantly believe the woman on the right.

The amount of work that goes into this is actually incredible

That square space ad got me. Such a dad joke 😂👌

8:30 "Does anyone actually believe that these are real mummies?" Jaime and the Mexican Government.

🎵 DEBUNKING MAKES ME FEEL GOOD 🎵

Amazing videos , keep it up guys , the debunk series are actually amazing, you guys truly are extremely perceptive and intelligent, no doubt about it

@ 12:00 one of my old phones used to have a similar effect when photographing light beams at night. The big light on our boat looked super cool in those pictures, all 12 pixels of it. Also Sam I wanted to say you look healthier than in an old video of you guys a saw, wanted to compliment you but forgot your name and when I googled it I found out you made Sync! Awesome movie, sorry about pirating it but it wasn't really playing in my country and I got the torrent off the tpb top 100. Turned into a whole quest for a DnD campaign like 10 years later. So I guess thanks for letting me steal your ideas twice.

One of the first ones to a video this is crazy

For the one with all the flickering ones. That doesn't explain why they would be moving let alone all in unison. Get a better explanation.

I love these UFO debunks. Keep em coming.

can't wait till they get a real alien on the couch for this series!

please fire the editor who thought it was a good idea to use the "debunking makes me feel good" every single time

Not space debris, but a cloud of chaff released from by a plane from Edwards Air Force Base, which is next door from Palmdale. Chaff is basically small strips of reflective metallic material that flutters and hangs in the air, meant to confuse radar. Just as flares are used to confuse infrared seekers, chaff is released to confuse radar-guided missiles. I am willing to bet a whole bunch of cash that it happened not too long after sunset, and while the ground and sky are dark, anything at high-enough altitude will catch the sun and light up (like those awesome-looking twilight Falcon 9 launches from Vandenberg that keep tripping people out).

Thought I’d share a weird but funny story about faking an alien encounter. So my dad and his cousin (let’s call him Andy) had been good friends since childhood. I won’t share all their shenanigans, but from a family of makers, they built quite a lot of bizarre contraptions… most which to torment and confuse my home town. Shortly before I was born, Andy asked my dad if they’d like to build a fake UFO of sorts. Mom forced him to decline, but Andy ended up building a swarm of RC air balloons each with a light. Long story short, a cluster of mysterious lights were documented in the newspaper. An explanation still not found…

“Debunking makes me feel gooood” 😂

Daamn. That smooth AF sponsoured segment transition made me actually watch the whole segment.

Wren: "No...." **Quickly puts on glasses in preparation**

I love these videos. I wish you guys would do more like this

I'd be curious to see @Corridor Crew do a video where they try to make the best fake eclipse or alien videos. People will often say "you can't fake that!" about an astonishing thing, when in fact sometimes you can!

"De-bunking makes me feel good" LOL!

I absolutly like every segment.. but man.. I frkn love the debunks videos!😂

16:00 looks like chaff from a military jet. To escape missiles locks military aircraft sometimes drop thousands of aluminium strips that confuse enemy radar. It was probably military exercises using chaff.

Squarespace should pay a bonus for that absolute killer of an add integration

Love the debunk videos!
