The newscaster who did the story is solid. I checked him out, he's won several national awards for some investigative reporting. He's been in the news business since high school, and has been working for KTNV for about a year and 4 months. He doesn't seem to do paranormal stories as a norm, it looks like, if KTNV is, in fact, doing a week on paranormal investigations (nothing about this on their website), was a burp in his career.

There is another possibility. This never aired. Have we heard anything from Vegas ATSers about it being broadcast yet? I've been away and can't read through the 4,824,245,954 posts which were made while I was away. It could be that he hired the news staff to do a fake broadcast for his movie. He may have even done it on April first, and just released it now. In doing so, he may have been able to convince the news staff to go along with the prank.

the guy is a con artist... he wants money... and wants to do pay per view...
and says god told him to do it... (get on pay per view)

don't ya think that if god wanted us to know something...he would make sure it was FREE?

Funniest part is he talks about a vow of poverty on his website. Why not, then, just release the footage to news agencies all over the country and let folks view it for free?

Wow, when you look at it, it doesn't seem to look real.

As it looks like the video was edited, either way I don't think it's a balloon, it looks more like a light.

I don't doubt this prophet can summon "something".. but the fact he keeps calling them aliens and angels, and has all this religious stuff stuck into it makes it seem like he isn't summoning any kind of alien spaceship.

I sent an email to the stations News Director - Craig Hume, hopefully he will be able to answer some of these questions.

One day!!!! 9 Pages in one day
this is pretty convincing stuff. I don't think Ive seen a thread with so much traffic in so little time....um....ever!

5/27/2005 *** SPECIAL REPORT *** TUNE IN TONIGHT AT 8PM EASTERN! JOIN US IN THE CHAT WITH LOU EVERY SINGLE NIGHT! TRY OUT OUR NEW CHAT, IT''S WAY COOL!!! GOTO WWW.LOUGENTILE.COM , sign in and click on the left LIVE CHAT! 1ST HOUR *** SPECIAL REPORT *** Join Lou for the 1st hour when he speaks with Prophet Yahweh. Prophet has a very unique gift. He can summon UFO''s at his command.

I wouldn't doubt this guy,he looks like he is summoning the people of light/The Pledians.This is pretty cool he did it on television.Well guys please keep us informed on it.

I've watched it over and over and over and I still don't see any reason it can't be a lightly colored balloon. Watch it again, objectively, and when the camera isn't shaking around going for a zoom. You'll see it rise slowly in the clouds, just as a balloon would.

I think many are seeing what they want to see here.

BTW, this is a fluff piece obviously, that they do at the end of the newscast. I could do this same trick with a helium balloon purchased at Toys R Us....I'm not really that impressed, sorry.

Now, if he pulls off this UFO visibile to all Las Vegas hovering for two days....THEN I'll feel differently, otherwise, gotta call foul on this one....though I know I'm in the minority here....

Important update for those following this thread.
I am about to call this guy again for the 3rd time.

Please start a list of questions you would like answered and I will see if he agrees to answer.

I will allow a window of 1 hour for the questions and will call him at the end of the one hour from this post time.

I will return after the call to post his answers. I'd like to beat Coast to Coast to some questions so please make them good ones.
Serious questions only.

Let's see how it goes.

Thanks.

Ask him why he has claimed that these are God's angels, but also stated they are aliens intent on taking us over.

Ask him why he is claiming to just go public now when in fact he made the same statement in the late 90's.

Ask him if he spent any time in Kansa. ** (J/k)

Interesting, but not that interesting, ya know?

I have seen hundreds, if not thousands of fuzzy orb UFO videos. Many far more interesting than this one. The only difference being here that a man claims to summon them.

I am going to have to wait to see him summon more. Something hopefully larger and with far more definition than a small fuzzy ball in the sky.

Ask him if he has used a telescope to see the object up close.

Ask him if why he thinks they come to him.

Ask him if he must be directly under where he summons it.

Heh, I don't expect these or even any of them answered.

He'd probally go.. I SUMMON ALIENS OF SPACE OF ANGELS OF GOD, I AM YAHWEH! POVERTY! PAY PER VIEW! GOD WANTS ME TO LOVE YOU. I AM GOD!

Gazrok summed it up for me.

If this next ufo hovers and stays for 2 days, its a different story.

As for now it could be anything.

Ask him whys hes trying to make money off this, dont let him use the "god told me to" answer either.

Also, ask him if he can summon them, why doesnt he get them to come closer to the ground or even land rather than just be a speck in the distance. That way he could be seen to be 100% genuine.

not that im taking sides, but what do you make of the scene with the light pole when the object 'jumps' in ways that dont seem readily possible? (2:31)

My opinion after thinking it through, IT REEKS. Sorry but this guy is now going to do a pay per view. Give me a break.

If something spectacular happens over Vegas, then all bets are off.
