wont bother to explain but it was an experiment run by the australian film Commission

aparently two of the films were "genuine" maybe the first 2? who knows..as each of them became progessivily less believeable..

love the little dig about skeptics pronoucing that they were space junk, but congrats to the likes of posters: Phenomenon and Shun..who identified even the early ones as probably/possibly cgi

hehe ya but if you look at the technique page what do you see?



Seems to me that "space junk, stars etc" could technically be considered "real-world light sources" couldn't they?

I don't get it? All UFOs vids are inconclusive anyway. There isn't one UFO video out in the public domain, where you can say.. 'This is, without doubt, not a fake and definitely an alien craft'.

It would require additional information to make that judgement call.

I would think that there are enough Questionable photo's and Video's taken by the public to use for such a project as measuring public response. To purposefully make false Videos to see the results is Financially a bad investment and gives the feel of an Organized "Disinformation Project".

I agree that this "Art Project" contributed only to the Detriment of the subject as it has indeed muddied the waters even more..

Let's have a look at their pretentious excuses.. where's the ART excuse?
oh yes.. not hard to find.. first sentence

In our opinion this was not a hoax or deception, but an immersive artwork. We had three main aims:

1. To give people a taste of the drama and excitement of a UFO Close Encounter, creating a genuine sense of wonder.

2. To improve research into videos of genuine UFOs. As we discovered, researchers are woefully equipped to spot fakes. We want ufoloogy to improve as a result of this experiment.

3. To show skeptics that they often rely on faith rather than evidence. (Many skeptics made bold statments about the clips being nothing more than balloons, space junk, stars etc - without doing their research. They were more easily misled than UFO-believers.)

Reminds me of crop circle maker's excuses. Anyway, take your crappy CGI art statements and shove em where the sun don't shine.

Immersive Artwork.
Hoax and Deception funded by the Aussie government.

3 objectives: More Deception.

1. To give people a taste of the drama and excitement of a UFO Close Encounter, creating a genuine false sense of wonder.

2. To improve research into videos of genuine UFOs. As we discovered, researchers are woefully well equipped to spot fakes. We want ufoloogy to improve as a result of this experiment. Researchers spotting video fakes is futile if there's a machinery behind especially funded by the government.

3. To show skeptics believers that they often rely on faith rather than evidence. (Many skeptics made bold statments about the clips being nothing more than balloons, space junk, stars etc - without doing their research. They were more easily misled than UFO-believers.)

Next project. Pine Gap and UFO connection.
