Mysterious tortilla chip-shaped UFO is spotted again

The mysterious "Dudley Dorito" UFO has been spotted for the fourth time in five years flying through a cloudless sky over woodland in Yorkshire.

The object, which looks like an extra-terrestrial tortilla chip, was captured by an amateur cameraman who posted the footage on YouTube.

He can be heard saying "I don't know what that is" as the triangular aircraft glides silently across the frame above a forest in the north of England.

The UFO was dubbed the Dudley Dorito after its first sighting over the Midlands in 2007 but it is unclear whether the YouTube footage is real or a hoax.

Eye-witnesses first saw the black triangle hovering over Halesowen and they reported the close encounter to UFORM, a local group of UFO-spotters.

Then in 2010 David Allan from Sutton Coldfield reported seeing a triangular object four or five times bigger than an aeroplane in the skies on Bonfire Night.

A few weeks after that 21-year-old quality inspector Minuesh Mistry saw the Dudley Dorito hovering above his home in Tipton in the West Midlands.

But the phenomenon of "black triangle" UFOs has been dismissed as similar to the effect ball lightening has on the atmosphere.

Project Condign was the name of a study undertaken by Defence Intelligence Staff between 1997 and 2000.

The MOD department claimed the airborne objects were "supernormal atmospheric plasma phenomenon".

The X-files were made publically available in 2005 after an FOI request.

Despite the massive technological advancements in photography, especially digital photography...it just so happens that photographers of UFOs are using a camera from 1970!

Yup, it's funny how that's exactly the case in 100% of these "sightings".

It'll be interesting to see how videos of these 'UFOs' progress in the next 5 years or so when it becomes normal for most people to be carrying a mobile phone that can take a good quality 1080HD video. Fingers crossed there will also be some worthwhile advances in mobile 'steady-cam' type technology. So blurry, shaky, out of focus videos will be a thing of the past. I suspect that so will a lot of 'UFO' sightings.

Why do you say that ?

Even a digital camera depends on lighting conditions, distance, weather, the steadiness of the camera user, or lack thereof.

Plus many UFO craft do not stop to pose for photographs.

They may suddenly accellerate out of view, or go invisible.

And many witnesses are not prepared in advanced with the best cameras, a tripod, and calm reactions.

Also, the genuine alien craft generate electromagnetic fields around them which distort light, which also does not give you a clear picture of the actual machine.

FYI, magnetic and electrostatic fields don't distort light.

Camera's from the 70's had more resolution than that photo.

Why the **** is the UFO photo again the size of a god damn postage stamp? What the hell did they do, take the the photo using one of these....

X-ray range radiations will alter, ruin camera film.

Gravity waves strong enough to levitate a craft, do distort light. ;)

I don't think people use much film anymore, haha.

Also, if the craft was strong enough to produce a gravitational field, we'd be seeing a lot more problems than grainy camera footage. The bottom of it would probably be stuck with birds and stuff. :rolleyes:

Read the article. It's not a photograph. It's a still frame from a mobile camera video. And no, they often aren't of better quality than that today, especially not when filming things in the sky due to distance. Filming an airplane with a modern camera phone would have produced a similar result, if not worse. Actually, that thing looks pretty big.

Thank you for your reasoned reply. ;)

And for the reader's info, the triangle ships are supposed to be Earth-made craft, based on reversed engineered 'UFOs'.

Wait, what? You stated that as fact...source?

Cameras of today, or even from the past decade can take stills or videos with much more clarity than that, regardless of speed. Sure, the user may not be steady handed, but that doesn't take any of the picture quality away, only motion blur can do that, which this photo, among many others don't suffer from. Once on a PC, its easy to get a still or single image...but notice how they're still very blurred or tiny.

I'm as skeptical as the next bloke, but I think I saw something very much like this a couple of years ago. I don't for one second think it was being piloted by "aliens", but I could accept that it was some sort of experimental aircraft being tested by the military. I can remember several years ago when there was many reports of black triangular-shaped aircraft, and then soon after the F117 was officially announced...

Yeah, I saw one of those black triangular-shaped aircraft several years ago but I never considered aliens either.

    • Secure Boot

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Simple answer is yes, you will still get the Windows updates and as long as browser is up to date, you will be good. Only thing secure boot does is protect you against boot level threats and make it harder to install other OS's. I've been looking into this pretty thoroughly lately myself as wifes computer has secure boot disabled plus my other, older computers that run Linux, don't have secure boot enabled. Have seen all kinds of questions about this on the Linux Mint and MX Linux forums. Just don't suddenly enable secure boot now.

      How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.

      Why would any self-respecting intelligent person follow any recommendation by Donald's GOP administration? With almost two years of fabrications, deceit, and blatantly illegal behavior, why believe them now? They had best be gone after the November 2026 election, so we'll wait and see.
    • AltSendme 0.4.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
