After the video was posted, various speculations emerged. Aside from being called a UFO, some people suggested it might be a TR-3B, a drone, a light beam projected from the ground, and even a light from a crane boom above the building. A writer and podcaster, Chrissy Newton, specifically went to the scene afterward to conduct an on-site investigation. She concluded that it was unlikely to be a light from the crane boom. She wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “I went to the location in Toronto where the UAP was recently spotted. There is a crane nearby, but it’s too low to be the object seen in the video. I went around 11 p.m., and the weather conditions were similar to when the video was filmed, to make a fair comparison. So far, the object in the video doesn’t appear to be CGI or AI-generated, at least based on the following observations.”
