UFO Invasions
UFO Invasions is a YouTube channel that re-uploaded the Metapod UAP footage in 2017, approximately two years after the video was originally published and subsequently removed by UFO VNI. UFO Invasions served as a secondary source for the footage after the original became unavailable.

2017 Re-upload
Following UFO VNI's removal of the original Metapod video, UFO Invasions provided access to the footage for researchers and UAP enthusiasts who had not archived the original upload. The channel's 2017 re-upload helped keep the footage in circulation within the UAP research community during a period when the original source was unavailable.
Subsequent Removal
Like the original UFO VNI upload, the UFO Invasions re-upload was also eventually taken down. The circumstances and reasons for this second removal are not publicly documented, though it may reflect the same privacy concerns or requests from the original witness Modesto that led to UFO VNI's initial removal.
Current Availability
As of the time of UAP Gerp's analysis, the stabilized version of the Metapod footage used for detailed examination was provided by YouTube channel ITBS, which applied video stabilization techniques to reduce camera shake and improve analytical clarity.
