I see your points on this one too Visionquest, so I'll remain on the fence here aswell. I guess the best thing to do right now is to wait and see what response Arthx will get on the email he sent to NIT Tv

Two things that make think this is a fake:

1. The light and the way it illuminates the area. It does not look natural.

2. Cameramen do not close the left eye when looking through the camera with the right eye, so they see more than the camera, that is why they sometimes move the camera to show something of interest. That does not happened here.

Let's wait and see where this leads us.

What exactly does it look like when a big white ball of light "really" manifests itself in a field?

I think this is real... Come on, if you were going to fake it you would make it more sensational than a simple ball of light.... Plus the ball of light coincides with all of the other reports....

That "inconsistent lighting" is due to a lens flare from an intense light source during the middle of the day from what I can tell. Even coming from the angle that "I'm going to fake this scene", it's pretty much where a lens flare should be:

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but the report (and everything in it) is in Russian.

(And yes, Moldovans do speak Russian).

First: ENOUGH on the the reporter being smoking HOT! Who cares?
No news agency is going to hire an ugly toad today! Good looking reporters are dime a dozen. Get over it!

This whole video is highly suspicious. Even the male talking in the Studio, seems too dressed down, and rolls his eyes too much. ( an indicator of lying ) His posture of laying back in the chair, rocking slightly, is unprofessional. His hair is uncombed, and looks unwashed.
Is the featured female reporter real? Does anyone know who she is? What about the guy? Who is he, and what are his credentials?
Next, the field reporter is wearing pants or jeans with an embroidered serpent or snake like design on the leg. This is not very professional garb for a reporter. Her hair is too messy as well and no make up!
Most field reporters will try too present themselves somewhat professionally. Also, usually, a reporters cameraman will not speak. They will just pan the camera to the action instantly, and then the reporter will react! The reaction of the female in the field should have shown more of a startling reaction to what she is looking at. She is too calm. The expression on her face never changes. Too many clues this is a hoax!

hey, I did a bit of googling in the characters of the name of the reporter. I came up wih OLESJA KAIRJAK. Hope that helps anything even though you have probably found this is fake.

Hasn't been debunked yet...unless you count by the fashion police or the "expert" comments on how cgi the Overlay/lens flare looks

Kind of comes down to if the news station crew and report are real or not. Even still, in this day & age we can't believe our eyes at all anymore it seems...so who knows.

Hey guys,

I showed this to my russian wife. She told me the newscast was actually faked by that local news station by it self to get more attention. This is not even russia, but somewhere in ukraine and they get no ratings prob. My wife told me, in school they actually had courses/lessons on these type deceptions, because it is a common practice in russia. Not to fake just because, but to get more attention/money. You will never hear this type of thing going on in US, since this most likely would be done by an amateur and not a local news station. I can tell you I work at a local news station here in NY and we never done a UFO story ever. Nobody can even go that far to make something fake. However, in russia/ukraine its a common practice.

It looks 100% fake to me, due to she makes bad mistakes with her body language that professional reporters just don't do and are trained not to do. The light sequence is cut into what does appear to be a real news recording though.

"I've seen a huge increase in the number of russians fake UFO videos lately on youtube. I advise everyone to to take those vids with a bag of salt."

Has anyone a copy of this video? It seems to be removed from Youtube.

I have friends in Moldova who might be able to verify if they were to see it.

Do you still have a copy of the video? I know people in Chisinau who might be able to certify the veracity of whether it's a real programme, or a spoof, etc.
