[HOAX] Haiti UFO Video - YouTube - [HOAX]

To me it looks so fake.

reply to post by pornanist


A fitting end.

While bed ridden during a brief hospital stay, I was forced to pass my time in captivity watching all manner of American Daytime TV. Sadly, no internet access to ATS to bide my time.

On the Maury Povich show ( One notch above Jerry Springer ) they did a segment on fake vs real internet videos. While the show audience generally votes by loud applause and cheers or boos and hisssing, the subject matter is generally about things like; "Who's the real daddy?", "Why cousins shouldn't marry", "Cross dressing vegetarian Rugby Players", "I got my mom pregnant and now my brother is my son" and the like.

On this show, they presented the Haiti UFO Video due to it's meteoric ratings on You Tube. They played the video and when the host asked if the audience though it was real or fake?, 99% of the audience applauded to FAKE, and about 1 or 2 audience members clapped for real.

I almost busted a stitch I was laughing so hard thinking about how we all (self included ) spent untold hours discussing this thread. Just thought I would pass this along. Sorry for the bump.

regards....a kinda sore kk

You didn't see my reply on this video a few weeks ago then? I posted both that video and another video which someone made with text using the same program, exactly the same trees and everything.

Palm trees can and do very very similar according to weather patterns and vicinity rainfall, sunlight etc. Pine trees can and do look very similar based on these same principals. In fact, many types of plants seemingly carry identical traits between them. Yes they do look similar no they are not the same, they are however the same species. humanities.cqu.edu.au...

I would venture to say you could find some similar looking palm trees in that photo. In fact I photoshopped in a couple of identical trees can you find them? Good luck.

I always find it wasteful for people to take so much time to fake these things.
As there isn't enough fake stuff to blind people from the truth.

You mean there are people here that actually believed this to be real?




You lot need to step outside for some fresh air every once in a while.

Hi there

yes I agree it is defenatly a fate but a well done fate to say the least.

Okay. The shortness of the film and the reason the people were up so early is explained and it makes sense. The trees are the same? Gimme a friggin' break. If you've ever lived in a subtropical climate with palm trees you'd be surprised how many palms have very similar growth patterns. It's a genetically simple plant.

I think this is the real deal. I'm a former air traffic controller and many of us have seen unexplainable blips speeding across a radar scope at a rate we couldn't produce...or even get close to. These aircraft have no engine noise as loud as you'd expect from craft that size. In fact they're downright quiet! They're not aerodynamically designed to create lift....so how do they stay up. The other craft that show up as lights in the distant sky, move with unusual ease and speed and definitely appear to be anticipating the arrival of the two scouts from below.

Those who claim these are fake haven't given an iota of logic as to why they think. That's LOGIC! Some people won't believe a UFO exists until it lands on the White House lawn and they're standing next to it. Dumbasses wouldn't know the truth if it bit them.

Anon ATS,
don't know how to break this to you, but this thread has been labeled as HOAX and the video (CGI) long since disproved. BTW, It was one of the most lively and exciting threads I ever participated in. Didn't mow my yard for 3 weeks and it almost cost me Wifey #2. Hoping for another discussion like this one real soon. I too believed it to be real for quite some time.

Funny to see this thread pop up again, but once officially labeled by the owners of ATS as HOAX, pretty much a goner. The trees are, in fact, fake and the creator/hoaxer was banned.

Gee, I miss the good old days.
regards. . . kk

BTW, nice hat.

Just curious, is Anonymous ATS an actual individual or a default name and Avatar given to non-members?

I thought you had to set up an account to post. Ya got me

The Anonymous Poster account existed for some time some months (or was it years?) and was revived recently.

You can read this thread about it.

And I to miss the active discussions about fake/not fake videos, what has happened lately to make ATS such a slow place?

Hi people.

I bumped into this toppic by accident, somewhere at page 33 or something, and read that you were wondering about logo that whows at the end of the film that was discussed.

I rezognized the logo since I was watching some other movie with the same logo showed at the end of the film.

(The film was: Feynman - Inconceivable nature of nature.avi)

So I used this little program to find out about this movie and codecs used for its creation: GSpot v2.70a, gspot.bands.com...

Anyway, GSpot is small and it's free.

GSpot told me about my Faynman video under USER DATA and USER the following: vixy.net

So your "anonyous" logo was VIXY, from VIXY.net

From VIXY.net:

"About this service:

This service allows you convert a Flash Video / FLV file (YouTube's videos,etc) to MPEG4 (AVI/MOV/MP4/MP3/3GP) file online. It is using a compressed domain transcoder technology (outline in Japanese). It converts FLV to MPEG4 faster and less lossy than a typical transcoder."

Hope this helped.

Cheers from Belgrade, Serbia. We saw UFO's during 1999 while 10 NATO countries (led by USA) were bombing our small country. We don't know if those were real UFOs or man-made strange-looking and strange-sounding aircrafts. I guess we will have to wait to find out the truth.

Regards good people!

Well, I'll be. I've been seeing "Anonymous ATS" quite a bit the last day or so and figured he might be some big shot whose identity he wanted to keep a secret and the Three Amigos agreed to it.

I miss the good old days of this thread. And the Ken Johnston thread, too. There are some cool threads around, but the real/not real question either gets settled pretty quickly, or it becomes clear early on that there's no way to settle it.

I'd like to see another thread that goes weeks before it peters out. Good times at ATS.

Hi Tuning Spork,

Nice "bumping" into you again. Well I feel better now since a seasoned member like yourself was unaware of the recent allowance of Anonymous posters. Perhaps they (ATS
mods / Owners) shoud / could send a blanket U2U to all current members about the change . I have received several in the past of far less significance.

Thanks to Armap for the link / update.

Wow, this thread sure taught me much. I am much more skrptical and discerning than U used to be.

regards . . . kk

Uhhhh the guy admitted to faking this on national tv...I belive the guy is named something like Balzarr something similar. As for the trees yes they can look similar but not IDENTICAL. Every twig, leaf... Even identical twins have separate fingerprints. This is like saying all humans are exactly identical.

I'm still confused as to how anyone could think this was real. The intelligence on this board is being leeched off at an alarming rate. Gain some perspective folks.

Fear not. It was just Mr. Anonymous. We're still here.

reply to post by Anonymous ATS


no, the so called less intelligent ones would be those that didn't read the thread and see that the hoax was discovered by our members and then the video creator himself came forward. I have his email somewhere if you'd like it. He emailed me pics of the models, among other things.

the original ufo vid was posted by barzolff814

he made another vid to prove it was a fake, here it is,

www.youtube.com...

It took Barzolff a total of 17 hours to make both the Haiti and Dominican Republic videos. He did it all by himself using a MacBook Pro and a suite of commercially available 3-D animation programs, including Vue 6. The videos are 100% computer-generated.
