Because it looks so atypical, it seems to add more credibility to it... just my opinion because most hoaxers prefer to make them look more fantastical like whats seen in video games -- or in the shape of a simple UFO disc like what we see in most UFO photos. But this one is different. This is what makes it intriguing.

I agree with you wholeheartedly but what annoys me is what the other posters have come up with in the identification : a painted pie tin, the floater that goes in the pool that holds chlorine tablets and god forbid if its hovering in the same spot its fake ....Yeah right ... Human built aircraft are unique the only craft in the universe that have the ability to hover .... Yeah right ... so far ive heard here if it only moved away it would be more convincing.... the fact that its saucer shaped is not convincing enough it has to move cause if it doesn't then its obviously a fake

Lol... I think I understand what you're saying but whatever the case may be, if this is CGI, then whomever created it did a good job at it; at least on a psychological level.

That he didn't resort to the same old worn out Ufo CGI "formula" renders this one rather frightening when you think about it.

I guess we will just have to wait and see if anyone here is given the opportunity to analyze the original movie.

But I agree with you that it would be better if some here would wait for more information on it before calling it a hoax. This one deserves some benefit of the doubt, at least based on the information we have so far on it.

Agreed. This is probably one of the worst! He needs to learn how to set his CGI filters. Someone will help him and his next one will better!

Why I like this video:

- Clear imaging
- Not too shaky
- Keeps his mouth shut
- The zooms (in and out) seems to show the object resizing proportionally to the level of zoom.
- No "typical" hoax trademarks i.e. object flashing away, making spaceship sounds etc

Why I don't like this video:

-User has a fascination with the subject.
-He created a separate movie specifically to show a bird flying near the object, as if to use as evidence for anyone stating it wasn't real. I did stop both movies at the same point in time (according to the timestamp in the video) and they were showing the same thing, so that lends credence to it NOT being fabricated/cgi)
- Jaime Maussan (sp) is involved. He always seems to be involved when there's money/notoriety to be found
- No location information of the sighting. Is this so investigation into corroborating witnesses can't be performed? Users profile on UT says Houston TX.


If this turns out to be legit, it's definately one of the better ones out there.

It did have those sparky static engines, so could be.
Looked like ol' time saucer.

ED: I think it proves my idea the the static generator is outside the
metal shell of the craft. Craft being surrounded by radiation making
the dark violet surrounding light.

100% hoax :

- too bad, no battery
- object is not moving
- this youtube account is full of (stupid) UFO/ALIENS videos

he also put this little video up,a comparrison of 2 more "simular" shapes in the sky.

www.youtube.com...

You guys are funny.

So when anyone posts or links to more than 1 sighting, it's automatically discredited or hoaxed? Tough crowd lol

Well its good to see that people are still seeing UFO's today(lol).Um.....the video,I dont know it looks real,bu with CGI you cant be sure.....it has the "1950ish"look to it doesnt it?I would bet that IF it is real its a human advanced aircraft using anti-gravity,but who knows...........Some expert opinion would be appreciated(Internos?)


Also PLEASE DONT SAY SOMETHING LIKE"Im going to bring you something mindblowing soon."UNLESS YOU REALY INTEND TO BRING IT FORTH AND ITS NOT A HOAX......Not saying it is or you are lying,just being cautious.

BTW: S & F

Yea,I think one of the WORST(I use caps alot dont I?LOL)things a true believer can do is to FAKE a sighting.

It looks a lot like a remote controlled flying saucer I had when I was a kid. The bird flying by gives an idea of the size. Jusy my opinion though I am not an expert.

Peace,
Trustnobody

And what with these fantastic three point of observation makes you an expert?

- too bad, no battery = Fake
- object is not moving= Definetly a fake
- this youtube account is full of (stupid) UFO/ALIENS videos = all movies from you tube are fake.

Just a quick note on the "lights" flashing beneath it.....i see them more as holes in the lower section that show through the background sky as the fake ufo is gently rotating back and forth on its string.

Nop, I will be a marked man after what i will do. But like eveyrthing else, time it will take. Never mind my comment, I got a bit excited. Simply stay with the topic at hand please.

this "thing" is definitely wobbling. I cannot tell if its spinning around, but if you watch when zoomed in at the very top center, there is a little peak or bump, and this disappears as this thing seems to wobble back and forth, and to be honest, looks like its hung from a string and is swinging in the breeze. Now of course no 'string' is visible, but a bright white sky would seem to serve as a way to make that appear invisible.

However, neat video just the same.

Fair enough..............but I and all of ATS(maybe the world)will be waiting............no pressure,lol.

Perhaps you could show us all where the string is thats holding it up in the sky
you do have proof of this because i looked at the video several times already and in have yet to locate the string your talking about.

Jaime Maussan claimed the Sci-Fi ufo twin towers ad was a real ufo event.


Thus, he loses credibility.



As for the video, pretty cool looking but I would rather hold off my judgement till I get more info.

Hmmm, similar in structure to the UFO photographed above a wildlife preserve in Saginaw, Michigan. Here is the thread on that:

Saginaw, Michigan, man discovers UFOs do exist; and he has a picture
