Today's UFO post

The following video has been hotly debated by the YouTube community - most of them sceptic, making abusive remarks about those who think it to be real.

The sceptics' main points are:

1) It is a SciFi channel hoax.
2) UFO's wont leave 'smoke' trails - they're too advanced.
3) 'Lame' acting by the 'actors'.
4) The camera man knows exactly where to point the camera.
5) The 'smoke' trail and the distance of the craft does not match.

These seem like reasonable points, but on closer examination of this remarkable video, one will find some clashes with these points:

1) The video was obtained and broadcast by the SciFi channel, and with my brief research so far, the original owner or video producer is not known.

2) With close observation, these trails will reveal itself to be condensation trails. It is seen initially when the craft moves away from the WTC at first. It is not known what kind of propulsion systems these anti-gravity machines might have, and might involve superconductors which could lead to condensation effects. It must also be noted that, never in modern cinema history has filmmakers thought of adding 'smoke' trails to a UFO as it would seem silly.

3) The point on lame acting is very debatable as normal day to day interactions between people are indeed 'acting' - closely observing people by using psycho-analytical skills, will soon reveal the 'mask' in front of the hiding persona. Most modern western people will indeed take a sitcom approach in their conversational style; notably so in the US and UK.

4) The 'cameraman' does NOT know where the craft is. The lady needs to show him where it has gone. With the quick approach of the craft, the viewing angle is much wider, and makes it easier for the camera to capture the image.

5) With freeze frame observation, it will reveal that the craft is moving so fast that it only started making the vapour trail when it was again well away from the helicopter.
6) Compressed videos are hard to judge.

I can also add that this clip was shown on national networks in other countries, notably so in Japan and some South American countries (as Mexico, for one, has many UFO sightings).

Is this clip real? I cannot say. But it is quite remarkable. If it is a hoax, very well done to those who need the credit - it is indeed a masterwork. If not, it needs closer investigation, especially in the light of numerous video footage showing UFO's during the 911 event (videos will follow). May I also remind you of the earlier news clip shown on my blog about the UFO sighting at O Hare airport (US). There is also a follow up video on that story (most of the video taking place between broadcast time - quite revealing).

Watch the clip, and judge for yourself.
