OK... here are screenshots of a small portion of the symbols.
They are taken in order from left to right, top to bottom. I skipped a few when they got really blurry as you will see. Now this is seriously like 1
minute of the footage, if that.
Im hoping someone will be able to recognize a pattern in these things. Obviously there are hundreds more to document but I just don't have the time
right now. Lets see what ATS can make of them
Wow!  This is a work of art. Was this made from the Youtube? I know Youtube’s resolution isn’t very good.
Was this vid on mythbusters? I feel like I remember some show trying to recreate this effect.

One thing to note in that picture above, with all the "symbols." In pretty much every one, there is a brighter point in each symbol, which is
pretty much round. Which would be a fairly solid indication to me, that that's the actual source of the symbols. Interesting and kinda cool, but
not alien sadly.

I get that feeling too. The description of the UFOs that are huge and then draw down to nothing in a second is reminescent of the way the TV shuts
off. Check my siggy for the relavant you tube vid disclosing the motivation for "ufo" and "alien" sightings. Don't believe everything you see.

Holycow that is the oddest thing I have seen, ever!! They are trying to communicate through symbols, I have yet to see the symbol that has popped into
my mind, which is a triple symbol of the goddess, very odd, how come I nver see anything this cool???

At first, this reminded me of the theban alphabet (used by wiccans but of indefinate origin). I delved further, and found other symbols, or
heiroglyphs, shall we call them? This is because they are "squiggly" and have curves
www.omniglot.com...
but on further look, I don't think this is the case as there are many other alphabets that have this form to them.
I don't have time to further look into this, because I am not an expert, but I did find a source to look at the different forms of glyphs (which I'm
sure there are thousands) that these apparent symbols may be compared to.
www.omniglot.com...
If anyone comes up with a possible simularity, or even a match with one of these symbolic, early alphabets, I'd be interested to know.
IMO, people are too ready to dismiss things without first sussing them out.
I think that regardless of whether this is of human, or other origin, there is still a definate attempt at communication here. If it was human, then
the feat of perfectly projecting these symbols as they appear is impressive enough in itself, and deserves further scrutiny. It is still something
unexplained.

Anyone know what kind of camcorder was used for this?? I'm curious if that "chuggy" effect is merely the result of the camer's specs or it
actually was chuggy like that.

Yes, as explained in this post, the camera was a JVC using the "Night
Alive" setting.
Said setting has indeed been shown to cause the effect when taping a bright star such as Sirius.

This sky writing seems pretty unprecedented to me. Is this unheard of or what?
Man, it's moving fast, too bad the framerate on the camera wasn't better although beggers can't be choosers.
Sorry if this has already been asked but is there any background information to this video?
EDIT:
Never mind, I read through more of the thread. I see the answer.

Re: OP
The video seems to depict a single contiunous line in various patterns that look like writitng.
However,
The stuff in the video might just be a single light source and camera shake making the patterns and designs that you see. If the camera has a very
high framerate then I think it might be possible.
This can be easily proved with information about the video camera and a test.
I'm not convinced that this is anything usual. I think it's a helicopter - you can even hear it on the video.

Here's a video I made to explain what's happening. This was Sirius filmed using a CCD camera attached to a large telescope. The whole system was
very solidly mounted. The only way I could get any vibration was to thump the mount with my hand. The system tends to vibrate in a 'Figure 8'
fashion, so the 'symbols' tend to appear similar throughout. The more random shapes seen in the Stephenville clip are due to the cameraman's
heartbeat as he tries to hold the camera steady while focussing on the point light source. From the amount of scintillation shown, I'd say this was
also the star Sirius.

Many thanks for that!
So I'm right!
Case closed.

How do we know for sure that it's Sirius though? I mean, we can't rule Sirius out now, but it could still be a video of whatever craft was there.
It's just so distorted that you can't tell for sure what it is exactly. We know there was some kind of strange craft in Texas because of the radar
data. The symbols are still irrelevant though, since they're caused by the camera setting (even if it is a ship). So in the end, I guess it doesn't
really matter what the object is because the camera just didn't record it very well.

Looks to me like time lapsed video of a light source bouncing around. And why is the original video framerate so sporatic and not constant.
Most UFO videos are at 30fps, this one seems to be a copy of a video running at less than 8 fps onto a final 30fps video.
I would call this one a nice light effect show thats more down to Earth than most want to admit to.
Cheers!!!!

It's due to an optional shutter setting on some camcorders. There's the 'night shoot' setting and another one which shoots a few frames, stops,
then shoots again. I forget what it's called but it's all been discussed ad nauseum on the forum.
EDIT: NightAlive Mode: NightAlive is JVC's night shooting mode, and is equivalent to slow shutter modes on other camcorders. Night Alive is feature
that automatically adjusts the shutter speed in a range from 1/2 to 1/30 seconds, enhancing the light gathering ability of the GZ-MG505. Like any slow
shutter mode, Night Alive will result in blurring of moving subjects, but will provide better color saturation in low light environments.

We don't. But it certainly looks like Sirius from the spectral range seen in the clip. All bright stars scintillate, especially when near the horizon
and are often colored differently, reds, greens, blues, etc. They'll always scintillate a range of spectral colors due to atmospheric diffraction and
turbulence. It could be any bright star, but if you prefer to call it an unidentified craft, that's fine by me.
