UFO captured in Criss Angel video?

Well, there was already 2 pages worth of discussion about him an most unrelated to the UFO so i thought I'd add my tuppence worth.
Back on topic, the object is very hard to distinguish, but great find by the OP.

Thanks for your opinion and and thanks for your last video contribution....its one I have not seen before and Im sorry for getting a bit snippy.

As I have stated a few post back, his levitation is much more impressive than the object but the object is none the less there and I felt is was worthy of a discussion.

i know that guy. well, i dont know him, but ive seen him on tv. well on a dvd someone i knew had, i honestly dont believe in his "tricks". if they were real, wouldnt it be more out in the open? like, it would be a godly stunt, wouldnt the government stop him from showing us his abilities?
i mean, look at the people hes around when he does it. totally foolish stupid people.
and how?? how does he do it? does he get into some set of mind?
at what age did he start all of it? like, when did he realize the "powers" he has?
and who was the first person he came out to??
...as for the ufo, i believe its a huge probability. and, for that matter, IF his stunts are real, maybe hes an alien!!!
who knows.

i must disagree...

Exactly, that's the point I was trying to make. Also, I realise there's a shadow in some shots, however, they are always cut away to. Not bad for one woman with a camera. In the scenes where he is in midair, there is clearly no shadow where, if you look at objects around him, there should be. It's obviously editing. It's not magic, it's "entertainment".

Umm Criss angel is a fake... Most of the people you see are paid to act like they are seeing these things he "does".
I live in Vegas and have met a couple of these people and even worked with one. If you look in the walking on water tape and the building float tape you see a small oriental grl in both... she was the food runner @ Hooter's Hotel and Casino where I worked. It is all post processing effects.


The only thing she told me was that she was there and she was a paid actress , at first. Then her Bf came and wanted to know more.... it is a total scam to promote this guy... He is BS.

It's not really fair to call him "BS" as he is a performer and magician. He has stated many times that he is an illusionist performing stunts.

Sorry to the OP but I think this thread is becoming an illusion in itself and morphing into another CA debacle thread.

How can we resist....

Ya i thought it was strange as well when i saw this on TV...though im inclined to believe its refracted light from the camera lens due to the filming angle/time of day.

Aboute the UFO, it can't be a bird because birds don't refelct when hit with sun, they are not made with metal! Or any other lutering susbstance.


About the Criss Angel, something that has been bothering me is, when he gives the SPOV to the lady, he says, go wherever you want, film at any angle and what-not, And at the beggining of the shoot, she films him upclose, but when he levitates she goes back with the crowd and doesn't do SKWAT! Anybody else notice this? At one point, I even think she is filming the ground! Why did she choose to go their instead of under Criss, or you know, at a better angle???!!! Anyways that's it.

-Jimmy-

anyone feel that criss is actually 'hinting' the spectators by asking "what did you see up there?" and "shoot straight up".. its as if hes trying to say "hey man look closely and you can see something in the sky!"

possible a helicopter

At least we know now where Criss Angel gets his magic from.

The object looks metallic, saucer-shaped, and moves like an alien probe. A common understanding among ufologists is that Zetan-alien probes are widely used for long-range surveillance of this world and its peoples. These are often cloaked (i.e., optically invisible unless you view them through infrared cameras) and are usually either saucer-shaped, spherically-shaped, or cylindrically-shaped. The most common kind of Zetan probe photographed is saucer-shaped.

My hypothesis?

The object had nothing to do with Criss Angel's levitation. It was probably a Zetan probe that provided a discreet birds-eye camera view of Criss Angel at work.

Want a confirmation?

For those of you who see Criss Angel perform his levitations out in the open - like on a sidewalk, park, or golf course - use infrared night vision equipment (like this one) and look at the sky all around him when he levitates. This will verify that he has no wires or vehicle above him that grants his levitation ability.

We are not the only people who are very curious about the "illusions" of Criss Angel.

A likely explanation for this "UFO" is an artifact from the crane that is cranking him up with cables that are the edited out of the video.

I nominate this post as Best Statement of the Day. I thought I found the best one earlier, but this clearly trumps the first one. Thanks to Paul Richard!

You're most welcome Schuyler.

Now let's see if there are some clever spectators on Mindfreak who will video record the sky with night vision cameras around Criss Angel when he does his levitations.

If he were being suspended by wires or cables, he would evince at least some "pendulum swing". But he never does.

Attempting to be ironic often is a failure on ATS.

(parphrased) There would be pendulum swing if he were hung from a crane, but here isn't.

Further up in this thread there is a good YouTube video that goes through the motions and shows how the suspension works. Page up and back to find it.

Quite so MrdDstrbr.

Additionally, the angle and distance of the UFO-probe to the main subject does not lead one to believe it is attached to a crane that is also connected via cables to Criss Angel.

Implosion,
I see what you are saying, but if you look at the far right of the screen, at 1:30 just before the moment in question, you actually see Criss' shadow. Then the camera moves and the shadow goes out of the shot. the sun is low enough and he is high enough to make the shodow that far away from him.

-Loyal James

yeah, no shadow...



that might be a blimp far in the distant background.



as far as the levitation goes, i only see it being possible in 2 ways...

1. it's real.
2. it's a video edit.

you can see everything on that video, everything on his body, his "bling", all the details on the clothing, but no instruments used to help him levitate. not even part of his shadow.
