Hi guys, a friend showed me this interesting video.
Its a series of night videos of objects moving in the sky and responding to laser signals.

The ending is also very interesting and is a video of Dr Greer showing footage from some of his meetings he has where he demonstrates this technique to people.
I was quite sceptical of this guy but this has me intrigued.

Thoughts people?
And I doubt they are satelites. They dont glow

This was in Iraq i Believe and think they are flares coming down from the planes

No I don't want to because this "UFO video" has already been posted many times.
So reply back like a gentleman

This same video has been posted?
Please link me to the thread because I searched first, as I do with every video I post to avoid double posting.

If not, then don't comment without watching it because you mention a small portion of the video, which I was not even discussing in the OP.
I was discussing the part about responding to lasers, and flashing etc.

So how about you watch the video 'like a gentleman' and then comment on the above. Thanks.

Satellites plus wishful thinking/gullibility.

Hi uprize.

There are several things in this video, but I'm afraid none of them are extraterrestrial.  The objects filmed include common satellites, iridium flares, bugs, birds, illumination flares (Iraq video), and even airplanes (part of Alison Kruse's portion).

And yes, I did watch the whole thing.  That garbage at the end from Greer is just nonsense, and all those people oooohhing and aaaaahing at the iridium flares (what they were calling 'power ups') is mind boggling to me.

Also of note, these people are shining laser pointers up into the sky at these things.  That's not so bad with the satellites, but some people do this at airplanes as well which is downright irresponsible.  Catch a pilot in the eyes with one of those and it can have pretty severe results.

Anyway, sorry to not be able to say what many may want to hear.  Nothing alien to report, not in this video at least.

Couldn't agree more.

For one thing, laser pointers are NOT visible from outer space.  The effect is cool when one is pointed at objects, however, at best the beam dissipates to near zero within a few hundred feet.  Look really impressive and it works very well for pointing out astronomical targets.  Ever seen a picture of the Earth at night from space?  Amid the clutter of the lights of civilisation, a laser pointer is nothing.
Greer is a showman.  Listen to him on that video saying they are receiving transmissions from Orion.  You believe that?  Got some dandy swampland in florida for you.
Interesting that Greer can receive transmissions from Orion, yet SETI with an array of powerful radio antennas can't hear a peep!

For the benefit of the OP, claiming that "satellites don't glow", well they sure as hell flash in the sunlight at night.
For your perusal, here is a sampling of only the brighest (>mag.3.5) satellites visible from Sydney Australia for the night of Nov.8.
Note I've included the International Space Station (ISS), which is the third brightest object in the heavens next to the Sun and Moon.
If I listed all the passing satellites in your area, there would be near 100.

Last I checked, flares and satellites don't fly in a formation...

You must be speaking of the tiny portion of the video showing a flock of birds in V formation.  You're right, that wasn't satellites or flares.

Must have been a LONG time since you checked, because many do.

Yeap. and one more example of such flyby (trio):

That looks nothing like the video and the flock of geese excuse has been used all ready before since the Lubbock lights...    When geese fly in formation, they wander and distort their famous V formation, I know because I've seen them every year however this one does not...

Aside from that one clip, all the rest could be explained.  I could believe it more if you would've said something like it was a military or experimental aircraft doing some r&d, but no, don't give me that satellite and bird crap...

Don't have to be either: simply put leds on RC, and here ya go...

Illusory perception.  Once we see a v-formation, the brain sticks with it.  Assuming for arguments, these objects forming the v are at say 500ft, how much do you think these are drifting.
Here's three frames frozen of the "v-formation" seen in this video, and heck I've been to airshows and seen tighter formations between fighter jets:
