Hypotheses
Mounting
Photo editing began to be used almost immediately after the advent of photography techniques. They were divided into methods of photomontage without manipulation of the image after receiving the photo and retouching of the photo itself or its negative (plate, film, etc.)
Deliberate falsification
This version includes any falsifications that imitate unexplained phenomena both from the outside: practical jokes, flash mobs, fake news, witness fraud, staging, etc.
There are many ways to make something similar to a ghost or a flying saucer from improvised materials, without using video and photomontage.
Many homemade things made for the sake of a joke, a practical joke or a direct imitation of a mystical being or event can be taken as unexplained not only in photos and videos, but also in reality.
Investigation
The object makes strange movements during its movement. When passing near houses, the object disappears a little earlier than the building begins (most likely its contour is cut out a little with a margin, but it may also be a camera effect). Most likely, this is a combination of recording with some kind of model on a fishing line and recording a panorama of the city. It is necessary to find the highest quality record to confirm or refute the version.
Update from 2024. A stabilized version of this post with a comment has been found.
At one time, this video convinced "visual effects specialists" that a flying saucer was visible behind some buildings. 20 minutes of modern stabilization work show that this is fake. Movement when the camera is moving. Experts can be wrong.
