Jerusalem UFO 28-01-11 TFH?

[mashman]

to be clear, I'm not bashing you man, I've seen things in the night sky I can't explain either, but I just reckon this is fake

... like I said, I'm still a skeptic even given my own experiences

Until one of the green, grey, blue whatever the "things" are stands in front of me and says "Hi", or something to that affect, I can't truly "believe" in UFO's either, although this is a good one and has more than 1 source.

However. Night time, tall crane, elastic, ball of light, winched down to preset height, release... springs (no pun intended) to mind

[p.dath]

The first question that comes to my mind is the authenticity of the video. It's easy to add effects afterwards, and people do all sorts of things just to get some attention.

[imdying]

Given that this originates from a well known hoaxer, the answer is clear... nup, no aliens today

If that's all it takes for you to wonder otherwise, you're a total fucking fruit cake.

....glad thats all sussed now...next please...

I don’t know if these vids are faked or not. The only vid I could find used horizon angles and illusion as examples of the vid as a hoax. I did not find this very compelling as no mention was made of the light nor of the fact that the same object was filmed by at least two vid operators. I did come across some comments on the flash discrepancy where the ‘distant’ vid showed a flash but the close up vid did not. The explanation was that the brighter city lights ‘hid’ the flash. I don’t know the truth of this or not but it seems a reasonable explanation to explain the discrepancy between the two vids

As for the ball lightening explanation: since we so little about this phenomenon that may well be an explanation but then we know even less about UFO’s.

I tend to look at this issue from logical perspective. Our galaxy the Milky Way is about 100,000 light years across. Estimates of the number of stars vary from 200 billion stars and up to 400 billion. Even using the lower figure of 200 billion it seems illogical that we on earth are the only intelligent life forms in our own galaxy and I wont go into the number of other observable galaxies that may have spawned life.
It has taken man 6000 (start of recorded history) years for man to get to the moon. New measurements have confirmed the age of the universe as 13.75 billion years old, to within 170 million years.

6000 years compared to 13.7 billion years. Anyone who concludes that UFO’s do not exist must also believe that we are the only life form who have landed on another body (moon) in space. Only a fool would bet on such odds.

As for the diversity of life. We in our ignorance once believed that for life to develop here on earth life needed sunlight. Not so. The recent discovery of Black Smokers in both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans proved otherwise. Deep-sea hydrothermal vents support extraordinary ecosystems deep beneath the surface of the oceans. These ecosystems are the only communities on Earth whose immediate energy source is not sunlight. Life on Earth, and even possibly on other planets, may have formed in environments similar to these.

Of course it is a big leap from microbes, and lesser life forms than ourselves to leap into space but then mankind has done this so why not others?

I tend to believe that life in space is as diverse in the universe as it is here on earth. I see no reason to believe otherwise.

I see no reason to believe otherwise.

Granted, but believing this particular evidence is like believing that Mickey Mouse is more than fiction.

A fourth vid has turned up.

Four vids filming the same thing a hoax?

I'm not sure why that would surprise you?

[Dadpole]

I find it hard to believe a race/species would travel a mind-numbing distance to Earth then only make contact with a knuckle dragging moron (usually from the southern USA)

[Skyryder]

I'm not sure why that would surprise you?

Don't know why you think I'm surprised. Four vids of the same 'UFO'. I don't know if this is a hoax or not. But until i see some compelling evidence that that all four vids have been doctored, and that has not happened to date, I'll continue to believe that this is a UFO: an 'unidentified' flying object. And I stress unidentified which may of not be an alien craft.

Follow the trail, see what you find at the end. It's a rather well known UFO loving idiot unfortunately

A sixth has been posted. i don't understand the language but sounds like normal teenagers to me. They may have just tacked on part of a clip from another video and done a voice over. Possible. Then again they not have. i did come across another link that showed the definate posibility that one of the vids were faked but I lost the link will have another look.
