The Somerset, England UFO (7/4/98) -- Another amazing piece of footage!

Is it me or does it look like a balloon slowly rotating in the breeze? For a spacecraft, it isn't very stable. It seems like one end of it is a little heavier. I believe it is a hoax, as I did the first time I saw it several years ago. It isn't cgi. Funny how you never see the end of the filming. Never see it zip away.

Great find DR. LOVE I will add this to my collection, after viewing it many times I find it genuine and I also took it to some friends who actually do CGI clips and they stated that this particular clip is the real deal.

up:

A star and a flag for a really good find.

While this is by no means proof of alien visitation, it is a UFO, by definition. It seems that it was a real object caught on film. And while we can all speculate about what it might have been, such guesses are no more factual than the guess that it's a craft from some other place.

A very good find.

dam it there are so many sightings round here in dorset uk and i never see any

nice find on thevid btw

best daylight ufo ive seen anyways,

my guess is this is the real deal but we need better,

id get out there now with a camera and a tripod if i though id catch anything spent far to many night gazing at the stars hoping to see something ...let alone catching a ufo in the day.

but we can hope...


a side note to the vid,

it looks fairly convincing but can never be sure whether this was an extraterrestrial ufo or just a nice r/c hobbie model made by a hoaxer with too much time on there hands,,,,

i would go with the first because if you went to the trubble to make one,,, you would make a slightly better film to convince everyone

just my thoughts

looks like a helium balloon to me. If it's behaviour seemed less passive it'd be much more convincing. Interesting find nonetheless.

Excellent find DL! Flag and a star!!

Ok, I've grabbed a frame and enlarged the object. This is what it looks like...



And this is what it seems to be...



Well, I'll be damned!! It does look like it's a UFO! Only we'll never know whether it's alien or man made!

Cheers!

The problem for us today, and creating a nightmare for everyone concerned with UFO's, is CGI SFX technology. As the technical abilty of specialist's, and the layman, continue to grow we will be more and more unable to distinguish fact from fiction.
It is even causing huge problems within the judicial systems. Jurors are not so easily lead by photo's and video any more...and for good reason.
As I view UFO images, I have to rely on what is called "Gut Reaction's and Instant instincts" to the thing I am looking at.
It is the same thing police rely on when they experience something out of the ordinary. The gut check! It usually pays off!
This is why, I have felt and strongly advocate, that there be NEW types of camera's invented, ( some exist now that are for government use only )
that use tamper proof recording material to catch images that cannot be altered in any way, shape or form. ( a huge scientific and technical probelm, to be sure )
My opinion of HOAXERS and DEBUNKERS is so low, there is not a word known in English that could fully encapsulate my feelings.
I am becoming more dissatisfied with the internet as well...for it's becoming much too much a place of misinformation, hoaxes, lies, and half truths. I can understand why universities are telling researchers, that the WWW, is not a reliable resource to use.
With the continuing onslaught of NEWER and MORE SOPHISTICATED SOFT and HARD-WARE being made available, we will face ever harder tasks of relying on what we see in media, and what the truths are behind it.
Even NASA will no longer release in real time, any of it's images either.
Ergo, can we now trust anything that will come from them?
All I can add is, until a fleet of UFO's land, and the navigators disembark, allowing an out of control media to report on it, and the civilian wittnesses interviewed in an unbaised way, we will never know what we are dealing with 100%.
The nagging questions that keeps reoccuring in my mind are;
Why can't the real truths be known?
Why would anyone want to debunk what might be the most significant thing in Human history EVER?
What are they afraid of?
Why do "they" think we are unable to handle the truth?
Who is profitting from the intense mis-information campaign?
How can we expose the machination perpetrators?

Mean while; keep up the great investigations, and let's fight for the real truths. Using any and all methods we can.

Good stuff guys and gals...

well it is possible it is a toy of some kind even..sounds crazy, but i have seen personally some very cool looking saucer remote controlled toys. Could be any number of things really...people are very anxious to always assume the most unrealistic of things such as..alien life form...i doubt that. Im sure the answer is quite boring and earthly, sadly.

not to mention it is very hard to judge distance here could be an illusion and this thing could be very very small
