A great video, shame it is so short. Debunk anyone?

QUOTE
While I fed my dogs early in the morning, I saw this object up in the sky over the house across the street. My battery went dead and I was unable to capture more footage. I feed my dogs early in the morning every day. That is why I taped this early.

That looks exactly like a light fixture pasted into the video.

I'm not sure what to make of it- it doesn't look like it's spinning or moving, just hovering. It's a little dark and shaded when she zooms in as well making it hard to make out any details. Interesting though! Thanks for sharing it! Where was this supposed to be?

I would vote that it's CGI with consideration for how a handheld video would behave. Usually, but not always, camcorders employ some sort of image stabilization during recording and sometimes also during playback. Sometimes the person doesn't have the stabilization activated so you wind up with a shaky image as in this video which seems to stabilize towards the end. This stabilization could have been the person resting their arm on a support. But I still think it's CGI with the computer expert taking the above into consideration to give a reality that existed only in his/her computer. When zoomed in the dark object should have lightened up just a bit as the camcorder opened up its iris.

I think its fake... look how the object barely moves? It stays in one position during the whole video!?

If you look close there are I believe 4 lights on the bottom. You probably have to have a nice computer monitor to see them like I can. They are flashing in a sequence. We have planes here on earth that can hover in 1 spot.

It is a little convenient that the person filming it had his batteries run out so we didn't get to see this thing move. He didn't even comment on how it moved, or if it even did so I am skeptical.

I found a pic of a UFO at UFO Casebook that looks EXACTLY like the one in this video!

April 11, 2008 - Houston, Texas

April 24, 1993 - Jalisco, Guadalajara

Turn the pic upside down and it is an exact match!

1993-Jalisco, Guadalajara, April 24-This photograph was taken in the state of Jalisco in 1993. Several years later more reports of UFOs are made: On Saturday, January 3, 1998, at 3 a.m., airline pilot Gary Sanders who has 24 years of flying experience in the USAF saw a reddish-colored light move rapidly from east to west, then the object suddenly changed direction by about 135 degrees of turn and very sharply, twice, defying "any laws of flight and physics that I am aware of." On Saturday, December 5, 1998, between 7 and 7:30 p.m., thousands of people in the states of Jalisco and Aguascaliente in Mexico watched a UFO described as "a very bright white light" fly over the Sierra Madre mountains.

I've been talking with the guy who shot this video for a while now and I think he's telling the truth. I deal with trolls & cons all the time, and IMO he's not one of them.

Here are his follow up videos:

I would at least remain neutral until you have all the data.

I forwarded the video to Stanton Friedman to get his take.

Here is another thread on the video:

Good R/C model been there done that. thats why no green plasma rays or complet power down status . But nice camera grip.

So if something doesn't move its a fake. That makes no sense at all.

Yep! It would be a lot more credible if that light fixture at least moved around a little bit.

there is evidence that ufo activity effects electric devices even cars sometimes maybey it didnt want to be seen [then again if it didnt want to be seen it probly wouldnt come so close
but personally i want to believe its ral but it looks so fake
also he says he was feeding his dogs but then howcome u dont see them or hear them

Here is some more info on the UFO from 1993 that is an EXACT match with the one in this video:

Also, another witness has come forward!

His testimony will be in Jaime Muassan's report!

Regardless of the detective work the 2 images are NOT an "EXACT match" with the one in the video. First, you had to turn the new one upside down to get the similarity. It would have been preferred if the new didn't have to be turned upside down. Second, I just drew both images for reference and there is no "EXACT match." Good try, though.

Besides, since there is a 1993 source, who is to say that this 1993 image was not used in CGI to emulate an old sighting that could give credence to the new one as you've done? I don't buy it.

Ill mostly repeat what ive said in a previous thread, but any actually real video (or photo) of a supposed alien spacecraft would always be considered a fake. You simply cant win with any of the footages we've seen of late, with the super clear UFO sighting footages, that are so obviously CGI, to the traditional out of focus shaky-cam footage, which could be anything.

if the footage is clear, then its obviously a fake, because its so clear and detailed it must've been CGI.

if the footage is unclear, then its obviously a fake, because its so unclear and blurry it must've just been a plane or refracted light or other natural occurance.

There will always be little details people will focus on, that are apparently absolute proof that what they are seeing is a fake, that we will never know how many real videos have been thrown in the junk pile along with all the hoaxes.

^ I agree. I came to UM following stories, videos, and pictures of UFOs claimed to be ETs. However, because of the reason you just stated, I've significantly lost interest.

So by this flawed logic, if I posted two pics of an F-16, one right side up, the other upside down, it wouldn't be a match???

Actually they are a match. Print the pics out and flip the second two and put them right next to each other. Or somebody computer savvy can do it on this forum.

lol ... you're giving Mauro (the guy who shot this video) waaaaay too much credit, no way in hell he knew about the 1993 pic from Guadalajara.

It's NOT CGI, most of the computer nerds at ATS agree too.

If it was fake it would be a remote control, which I doubt.

No matter what people believe, we won't have to wait too long because this video is going public in the next few weeks!




PS I'm new to this forum, what % of people here would you say are UFO believers vs. skeptics/debunkers?
Mr.Dot
It looks like some kind of home-made flying toy. Just make it look like a saucer and yay, evidence of extraterrestrials... alien.gif

OK, a couple of reasons why I think this is fake:

1-It is in focus. The fence is pretty well in focus, the house behind the fence is a little fuzzier, and the tree behind the house is even fuzzier. So, if this thing was farther away than the tree, which logically it should be, it would be completely out of focus and fuzzy looking. Instead, it is in better focus than the stuff in the foreground of the video.

2-Notice the slight discoloration around the edges?? Almost a bluish haze?? I work in special effects, and this is typical of an image that was cropped out of one video, and added to another.

So, in my opinion, it is something made up to look like a UFO, recorded on camera, cropped out, and added to this video. That also explains why it is in focus, when it should not be.

So uhhh... what's left then? By what your saying basically any video of anything is going to be considered fake. Awesome. The pure skeptical view.

Yours is an over-simplistic explanation. In one respect you MAY be right and that is the super-sharp images that may be the result of CGI. But you can't say that if the footage is unclear then it's obviously a fake. There's a ton of unlcear videos containing real objects. There are many reasons for the unclearness such as the nervousness of the camera operator; the camera going in and out of focus; too high a zoom rate for hand-holding, etc. It has RARELY been a plane or refracted light, etc. This is usually what a hard-headed skeptic (as opposed to an open-minded one such as I) will say.

There are also a ton of good video'ed images thanks to the superiority of digital. Still, it's not good enough to image objects like CGI.

PS I'm new to this forum, what % of people here would you say are UFO believers vs. skeptics/debunkers?

SE: "I would say that 95% of the people here are believers. Me and a couple others are skeptics/debunkers with me being about the only debunker, as you can see in some of my threads. Being a skeptic or debunker doesn't automatically mean were negative and don't accept UFOs as a real for I have had 6 sightings with one videotaped."

Personally I think it may be fake. It was probably suspended with fishing line, and the lights were just LED's or something.

Thats exactly my point, unfortunately no video will be considered proof either way, because the skeptics will always shoot it down for different reasons...

Back when all we'd see was blurry footage, the skeptics would always make a point of that, and suggest that if they ever saw a clear video of a UFO, then maybe they'd take it seriously.... but then... when we do actually start to see clear videos of unusual objects, the skeptics go and shoot that down too for being clear, and start picking at minuscule details that they believe is evidence that its CGI or a well-made prop.

You could be holding in your hands, crystal clear, detailed footage of an object you truthfully in your heart saw and captured on film, present it to the world, and it will be labeled eventually as a fake, a hoax, CGI, or whatever else.

To be clear, i am not at all saying aliens and alien spacecraft absolutely do not exist, all i'm saying, is that video footage will never be treated as proof.

Sorry, DrunkDwarf, but you're being a bit too negative. There will always be "skeptics" that will pooh-pooh footage regardless of quality because their standard of proof is ridiculously high. There is no doubt that super-sharp footage of unexplainable aerial (not always) objects will be subject to ridicule because in fact no such super-sharp of real objects exist. Digital camcorders still do not have that power of resolution that will withstand high magnification and analog camcorders, still being used, are worse. Maybe now with high definition consumer camcorders the quality will improve. But these CGIs are ruining it for every decent footage that exists. There is damn good footage that leaves no doubt as to what we're seeing and some have been scrutinized by image experts who declare that the object in the footage is really there and it would take a hell of a lot of expensive equipment to duplicate. I've seen documentaries on this.

When someone videos a UFO close enough to overcome the shortcomings of the camcorder being used then the battle for realism will begin.
markshark4
The guy who shot the video is not the only person to see this craft, more witnesses are now coming forward!

The UFO was there for about 8 minutes before it flew away, the official report by Jaime Muassan will contain ALL of the footage!

Footage which shows this craft doing flying maneuvers that defy the laws of physics! Not CGI, not cropped, not remote control, and not even military craft could do the maneuvers you will witness! You will literally piss your pants!
