Did the Today Show unwittingly capture footage of a UFO flying over the Bay Bridge in San Francisco, or is it something far more earthly? At approximately 1:25 into a segment about the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake a black object flies across the frame seemingly just behind the reporter. To say that the UFO in this clip is quite noticeable is an understatement. So, is it possible that the news crew was so focused on the reporter and the segment that they completely missed a UFO flying across the San Fransico Bay in broad daylight, or is there another possible explanation for the object? Here is the clip in question, direct from the Today Show’s website:

As you can see the object quickly passes through the frame, silently traveling a path that places it somewhere between the unaware reporter and the bridge. How could the news crew miss something so large crossing their shot? While the quality of the video is so low, a positive identification is unlikely, I think there is a plausible explanation for the object and the news team’s indifference. In fact, you probably see at least one of the “object” everyday and don’t even notice it. I believe that the Today Show crew didn’t capture evidence of a UFO but instead captured footage of the bay area’s indigenous wildlife in the form of a bird flying along the bay. Do you agree? Is this a bird gliding gently on the breeze, or do you think that the Today Show has captured evidence of a UFO over San Francisco Bay? Feel free the share your thoughts in the comments.
