Shot down over PHOENIX. Thoughts?

Very new video on tok tok. Comes from a seemingly legit looking page. Watch til the end. What are your thoughts?

This is a good one. I'll admit I'm pretty gullible with these. Wonder if anyone knows more.

Yeah like I’m sure there’s going to be somebody chiming in with an explanation that makes me feel like an idiot for getting worked up about this.

But what the fuck? Something happened in this video. I don’t know what the hell it was or anything about anything, but something happened that’s more than a plane or a balloon or a trick of the light. Wild video

Non alien explanation; the green drone is a consumer model flown by a civilian, it approaches the red drone and intentionally flies into it, collides and falls. The red drone is a large military style drone and doesn't flinch from the hit.

Option 2, the green drone is super high up for a consumer model and ran out of battery chasing the red drone and fell out of the sky

Option 3, red is a military drone taking out the green drone by gps spoofing it or another jamming method causing it to fall

Or

Someone flew their drone to investigate the red orb and their drone was blasted out of the sky by the red drone. Or like the guy in the news report in NJ, green drone got to close and it's battery was zapped and it fell out of the sky

Edit,

after some additional comments I have a new theory. The video might be sped up. The green anti collision light on DJI drones blinks once per second. This video it blinks about twice a second. The camera movements are also quite fast.

Someone suggested it might be a "staged video". Eg. Friend flies the drone up, camera operator and pilot line up the shot so the drone appears to approach the red drone. Then once the drones are lined up, they rapidly descend the green drone so it appears to fall out of the sky while overlaying voice over. Just a guess though, could just be a drone that blinks faster than DJI does.

It's just an ad for the new live action movie. I pulled this off the Takara Tomy website.

"BEYBLADE: RISE OF THE DRONES"

In a futuristic world where high-speed drone battles have replaced traditional Beyblade duels, the underground Droneblade League is the ultimate stage for glory. Teen prodigy Kai Nakamura dreams of becoming a world champion, piloting Storm Viper, a state-of-the-art combat drone built with his late father’s tech. But when a shadowy corporate overlord introduces Titan Protocol, AI-powered drones capable of rewriting the rules of the game, the stakes are raised to dangerous new heights.

To save the sport—and uncover the truth behind his father’s mysterious death—Kai teams up with a rebellious group of Dronebladers to outwit Titan Protocol and launch the battle of a lifetime. Packed with explosive aerial combat, heart-pounding rivalries, and the ultimate showdown of human skill versus machine precision, "Beyblade: Rise of the Drones" redefines the spirit of Let it rip!

This summer, the sky’s the limit.

Cmon guys, this was pretty obvious.
