You're more gullible than we gave you credit for?

My first reactions are:
1. It’s fake, photoshopped type thing
2. It’s fake, elastics band type thing
3. Some sort of turbulence effect

I’m inclined to think 3, but not with much conviction.

You’re more gullible than we gave you credit for?

Can you explain what’s going on?

Can you explain what’s going on?

Obviously not.

Doesn't look very real though, does it?

However, i'm prepared to enter into the spirit of it and, assuming it's genuine, will say that my guess is a super light box which is being tossed about in unexpected directions by the turbulent air behind the not very aerodynamic truck.

If it’s genuine...

I’m guessing the open back of the box van combined with speed of movement will also be creating a Venturi (kind of) effect sucking the light cardboard back in, in the same way that we’re advised not to horse around in the car for too long with something stuck out of an open hatchback as exhausts can be sucked into the car.

If you were following do you think you would have automatically braked as soon as you saw it falling out. The driver behind can't be sure what it is if it's genuine yet takes no immediate action. They do fall back a little before the second time but the lack of an initial reaction is suspicious. Of course it might have been Dom driving so he might not have seen it properly.

FFS, it's obviously a fake. They've simply attached a wire to it and pulled it back in. That's why it aligns itself the same way instead of tumbling. That's in addition to the box just happening to be precariously perched on the back of an open truck with a video camera just happening by chance to be there at just the right moment to catch it falling twice in a row.
