I just looked at this video and its very convincing in my opinion.I think it happened in Mexico and it was captured by the camera in the police vehicle.
Intersting video for sure so decided to post it here for others to see.

So I wonder why all the activity in Mexico?
That double bell shape is pretty common; all the way back to pics from the 50's. It is hard to say anymore though. Anyone with 900 dollars worth of software can make such realistic videos it is impossible to tell. Think about it; we have no real alien craft to compare these videos too, in order to be able to say yes or no. So we have what we have seen in movies, all of the photos over the years, some have been debunked, some outright hoaxed, some unexplained. Then there is the double standard. If it is too clear, it is obviously cgi and a fake. If it is too fuzzy, it could be anything and is probably a goose flying south for the winter. Either way you're screwed.
There have been so many hoaxes that it is hard to tell these days...I am not sure what to say. Mexico seems to be a hotbed of activity; that is for sure.

So you are saying that the police officer manipulated the video somehow?Mexico is a hotspot for UFO sightings and that is a fact.This video is vey belivable in my opinion and i can't see why and how anyone would manipulate a police video.

I kinda have an issue with this film. In the beginning you see an officer in front of the car. Then there is a cut and the camera is angled away. This second part of the film could have been shot from within any vehicle. Someone gets in, presumably the officer but they are not identifiable. Because the video is washed out pointed to the sky, you don't see the ufo until it is zoomed in. The ufo itself looks very much like the Virgin Records hot air balloon they use for promotions.
I'm not saying it can't be authentic, but I wonder if a creative edit job was done to make the film appear to be shot from a police car. And of course the UFO could have been put in with software.
Someone may have gotten a shot of a balloon and then edited the first part in to look like the police shot it.
Then again, it may be just what it appears to be, a chance shot of a ufo from a cop car.
The edit bugs me though.

I dont know if this is a hoax or not. I am not trying to say it is, I am just saying that the possibility is there. People make hoax videos all the time. We are assuming that everything in this video is real and not staged. We are assuming it is a real cop. We are assuming that the scene cut in the video between the forward view where you see the tow truck pulling up and then when the camera is facing out the driver door there hasnt been anything done to the video. It all could be on the level. A lot of people thought the same thing about the Haiti videos last year; those ended up being created by a company that wanted to show how good its cgi software was. A lot of people fell for it.
The split second that anyone gets a hold of the original video it can be added to or edited, so we do not know. I am not saying that is what happened in this case, but that is always a possibility and people need to be cognizant of that. The video could very well be real, but it also could be a large balloon too, it is hard to say; it isnt like the craft makes any quick manuevers; it seems to be slowly drifting on a breeze, so there isnt anything that rules out a balloon in my mind.
I dont know. It's unidentified and its flying...

I agree with swapape. Could have been shot within any car, but we are lead to believe this is Police footage after the cut. I'm not buying it.

Looks like a balloon slowly decending to me, thats all.

Looks pretty real to me.
And it would be hard to get a cop to fake that sort of thing, particulary when they are on duty.

They say on the tape they searched the area afterwards and nothing was found, and that therefore it could not have been a balloon.
It does seem to drift like a balloon would, but like everyone else I don't know what it is or was.

Good eye, the edit is an issue and I question the authenticity of this film as well. Its been a long time since I have seen the inside of a police car

but that car doesn't look like a police vehicle to me. There is no search light visible on the drivers side (should be next to the side mirror). Also (and most curious), the person
exits the car from the backseat on the drives side, leaving the driver's seat pushed forward. So, if its a police car, it has no search light and is only a two door. Both are possible, but that wouldn't explain what the other officer was doing in the backseat before he exited the car

.
No seach light>>>

After watching it again, I wonder if that is the steering wheel, not a "pushed forward" drivers seat. Its hard to tell but you can't see a steering wheel where you would expect it. The odd angle of the camera and its close proximity to the steering wheel could be making it look like its further from the dash than it really is. There is also what could be a radio handset on the driver's left of the steering area (could be anything though). Dunno, I still think this is a hoax.
one last little thing, as the person exits the car, you catch a glimps of what looks like tan pants and a dark (brown?) shirt, much like the officer is wearing in the first view.

I thought it was too, so I did a google search on the production company listed. It's in connection to some UFO researcher (I believe based in Mexico). I forget the name at the moment, but I checked it out last night. It seemed to make sense to me.
