Is it taken while it's landing at an airport???

As with ALL ufo footage it looks like a fake and probably is. I must have seen hundreds of so called UFO's in picture and on film and I'm yet to be convinced that any are real.

Yea its at an airport no more than 100 ft from teh ground dont u think the tower would have seen it or at least picked it up on radar???? ALso what are they video taping a guy just standing there??? There was alot of free room there

[edit after i saw the better mpeg]

Ok the other mpeg give me alil more things to be skeptical about. Everythign can be explained except right after the ufo passes look at teh guys hair. His hair is blown right around the time it would if somtin flew by that quickly. I still think it is a really good staged fake

Its most certainly a UFO. Is it an extraterrestrial aircraft? Nobody will be able to figure that out from this quick and blurry film.

Why cant someone get a good clear video of a ufo? I mean if there are supposedly thousands of sightings a year, you would think someone would get a good video of one.

The reasons for no extremely clear UFO images/video comes not only from the low resolution of the devices being used (especially for video), but that 99% of the time, these objects are tens of thousands of feet in the air and potentially miles away when spotted. You can't very well zoom in on something very far away. Extraterrestrial craft aren't about to go hunting for a professional cameraman to take pictures of them. They too like the ambiguity that low resolution video and small pictures provide us or they'd come down for a good, solid photo shoot session.

The other 1% that are spectacular, clear, and prove beyond a shadow of a doubt of their reality are confiscated by the government.

this is a good example of what a rod looks like when the sun is at a different angle. all rods are merely bugs. Grab a videocam and stand outside in a buggy area...and soon you to will have a UFO go zapping past. I have studied rods and believed the hype...until i did it myself. my best ufo was a dragonfly... the others tend to be to small or to fast to see the "distinct" saucer/cigar shape of the obvious UFO. I am thinking this is a big bummble bee or maybe a dragon fly... (look closely and you will see 4 extensions in the last frame. that is what wings look like on video.

I have to agree, it's a bug. Also an attempted hoax.
If they truly wanted to show the full sequence of frames they easily could have. Why would they omit the frames where the "object" is passing his head? To eliminate the possibility of actually finding the "object" in front of him.
move along...nothing to see here

Sorry, just looks like a plane landing at an airstrip to me....

Not even a GOOD fake

I agree. If you watch the video in slow motion, or just advance the video per frame yourself, you can see the "craft" starts out as a dot just behind the guys head, stationary for a moment. Then the dot grows in size a bit and goes forward skipping frames (which I can understand if something was flying that fast in reality). Now I suppose one could say it's materializing but..... my first thought was fake IMHO.

hmmm this wasnt that good a video. certainly i agree with the others looks like a bug of somekind. from the vid u can see its not that far away and the guy is just like "heyyyy disco stuuu"

Grab a videocam and stand outside in a buggy area...and soon you to will have a UFO go zapping past.

Bingo! We have a winner.... This is a bug. It's not a purposeful fake, but a consequential one. The videographer likely saw it, didn't know what it was, then slowed it down, figured it out (by seeing the bug fly in front of the subject), then edited out that frame, to give the slo-mo replay seen.... Clever, but not brilliant....

Yup, it's a bug.

For comparison, here's a fake home-made one I made earlier.



I've got loads of digital video, editing and 3d rendering equipment, I keep meaning to make a string of fake videos. (as a personal project for stress relief, of course).

Zzzz....
