UFO sighting

Couldnt help noticing this video whilst i was looking for diego del gastor.
Its 20 seconds of UFO footage that looks really real!!
Have watched it 20 times. Its breathtaking!
Some comments just say its a hoax - how?? I mean Haiti is like one of the poorest countries on earth. They dont have millions to spend on UFO hoaxes!
It could be a digital effect of course, but the camera pulls back and keeps the objects perfect. It would be a very expensive effect. It looks more like something real is being filmed. The engine sounds as if it burns some kind of fuel (no antigravity) Then there are the dozen or so craft they join with at the end. Any thoughts?

Ah they found my toys.

read the comments! ok he was just joking, but it could be real.

quote:

its not fake! people who say its fake might be from NASA itsself, or maybe an alien hiding their true identities

yeah sure

aliens know how to log in at yahoo and write comments LOL (and speak english!!)

hey i cant reach the video anymore. maybe the aliens have hacked yahoo to cover their identitiy

or its just the usual yahoo styled crap severs.

sorry just having fun.

it just has to happen more to make me believe in aliens.
but yeah its definitely a cool video.

i think its a special effect. the audio could be sample. i am 100% sure, an experienced sound engineer can make such things. they are doing it already in hollywood.

btw. why is the video only 20 seconds? if i would witness something i would simply HOLD the camera as long as i can.

RE: UFO sighting (in reply to XXX)

URGGGHH...that's gross. No I missed that delightful video thanks.

I'm not saying the UFO video is genuine. I' m just saying that if it is a fake , it is an extremely good one. I have seen quite a few UFO videos and most are either airplanes or very badly done computor effects. Of course it is possible to put together digital effects, sound effects etc but you usually need some high tec gear and engineers to do that and ideally, a hollywood studio.

To make a fake shot it would be easier to have one panning shot with the camera and then put the ships in digitally afterwards. If you start the shot zooming in, pan back, zoom out, track overhead, zoom in again and track into the distance, you need to match all those camera moves digitally. Haiti does not have the money or studio facilities to fake that. I just think that something, whatever it was, was captured on camera. Compare with this obviously fake shot

hehe that is chinese production what do you expect! just kidding, i have chinese friends

.

you say haiti has no money, but why should it be the haitian? could be us production either, no (with or without special effects!)? then you say about zooming in and out. actually i find that most suspicious. if you imagine yourself in that situation, your filming an UFO and the aliens are coming to make tests with you, do you have the time to zoom in out and in out? i would especially not zoom IN when they are flying over me. You say it is very hard to make such things as a special effect. But maybe this way of filming was done exactly because of that it makes it look like its very hard to do. I mean this digital technology is developing fast. Maybe it was impossible to do this 6 months ago, and today it is?

And those "lights" in the background could be anything. Lets wait the comments. Maybe it will be solved what it realy is

RE: UFO sighting (in reply to Pimientito)

Hey that's a coincidence. I intercepted a conversation between the two captains.
Here it is, I let it translate by a friend who is very good in alien language:

"Oh Jeez we traveled 500 lightyears now. Let's go home, I'm hungry"
"But we almost reached earth ! "
"Ok, one dive above..uhm........what do we have here...Nicaragua"
"Allright"
"and then we're off"
*
"bleep, bleep"
*
"Do we turn on the fake engines ? "
"Yes that's a good one, and let them figure out how we carried all those million gallons of gasoline with us. "
"Haha..."
*
"bleep, bleep"
*
"watch out for the man with the mini lasergun"
"it's a camcorder"
"say what ?"
"I said, it's a camcorder"
"Ok, we're out of here"

I think they are possibly transmutated shrubs or some kind of advanced vegetation with a superior technical knowledge to humans.
There was a part where the spacecraft looked pretty similar to the Palm trees which led me to this theory.....

The Coconut People will rule the Universe...

cheers,

So fake and pointless. Track a bird or plane then draw something over it. Couldn't they make something more believeable and less blurry??

Doit, I love that movie. I love the wwf style fight seen for 30 minutes "put the sunglasses ONNNN!"

Today I saw it on TV, and it was told to be a hoax. A bored guy from France has made it.

The proof:

All trees look the same...

Sorry, again no aliens.

RE: UFO sighting (in reply to Georg)

Yeah, I researched it this weekend too and found out how it was made.
Its fake but i think a very nice one. The french guy wasnt bored by the way.
It was actually made by a professional
digital effects artist as part of an experiment for an upcoming movie.
It was posted on the net for public reaction which i think worked very well.
As i said before, if it is a hoax, its a well made one. Getting digital objects to remain real looking
with hand held camera footage, zooming in and out and varying focus is difficult.
Sorry Ricardo - i thought this was a complex shot and very well done
It took a digital effects suite and 2 days of work to produce 20 seconds of footage.

Seeing is no longer believing!!
