Not a single person has given a logical explanation as to how in the world these objects can be birds or bats or whatever. I have given my theory over and over. Some ppl just take for granted ufos don't exist and for those ppl words nor images won't matter.

OK, let me try. The question is, will you listen? Are you willing to accept an explanation?

Please don't dismiss me as a close-minded "debunker". I have seen a UFO myself, you could call me a believer. However, while I am certain that there been a few genuine UFO events, most UFO sightings can be explained.

I watched the first three videos on your Vimeo profile, in my opinion they can all be explained. Before posting your videos on the internet, perhaps it would have been best to familiarize yourself with your video camera - learn what it is capable of.

Take the third video for example, where the "UFO" becomes "transparent".
In fact, it doesn't. What you're seeing here is simply the image going in and out of focus.

Why? Because there's nothing solid to focus on - only a few wispy clouds. It is constantly trying to focus, but it can't. When the bird comes into the frame the camera focuses on it but soon loses focus - causing it to seemingly dissapear. In reality it was there all along, the camera just couldn't see it most of the time. The "UFO" does not fade out, it is actually blurred out by the camera.

Fortunately, there's a solution. Set up your camera as before, but instead of using auto focus use manual focus. Set it to infinite - this will ensure that all the objects in the distance are in focus. It should also act as a filter blurring out any nearby objects, such as bugs.

The crucial thing is - if this video is out of focus, and you never noticed, what does it say about your other videos?

It's faulty logic to assume that because you're unable to explain something it must be of a supernatural origin. Distance is a very tricky thing. Most of the "objects" you "captured" (I wouldn't put simple post production effects out of the question yet) are very close to the camera but very tiny. This gives the illusion of a seemingly large object being further away. Also, if an object appears to go behind an object that's clearly in the distance that does not necessarily mean the object is truly behind said object. Extend your hand out towards the sun and put your index finger directly in front of the sun. The middle of your finger will blend in giving the impression that your finger is indeed behind the sun. This works with any out of focus object and with cameras it gets even trickier to filter out these unwanted occurrences.

Your videos do not contain any evidence of UFOs. Plain and simple. Everyone that has come into this thread has told you their opinions of your videos and you choose not to listen. It looks to me as if your looking for someone to come into this thread and say, "Hey! Great job! Way to capture all these UFOs. We've been doing it all wrong for a hundred years! Lets get you working at NASA!" Wrong. You have failed to prove your point here as EVERYONE in the thread has noted. I don't think you are trying to misinform or spread disinfo, as I think you believe you have genuine UFO footage. But you don't.
You should take yourself off of your pedestal and realize that you too can be wrong sometimes. You continuing to fire back at everyone who disagrees with you only makes your credibility look even worse. And somehow I know you will fire back at me for trying to give you constructive criticism....hmmmm...how do I know you will do that?

I for one am getting tired of this thread because its the same argument going back and forth now. When everyone is telling you the same thing, maybe the problem doesn't lie with them, maybe it lies with you. I personally think you should go ahead and hang up these videos and not waste anymore of our time until you get something solid. Thats what I would do...because your continuation of your defense of these ignorant videos only makes you look like a hoaxer. So put your ego aside and really view your videos for what they are.

I mean, what exactly are you looking for here? You posted your videos for analysis and thats what we're all doing but you continue to argue. What are you arguing? If you want people to blindly believe you without question maybe you should go elsewhere with these fake videos. I am done in this thread though. I think myself and everyone else here has stated their points thoroughly.

Remember people...if you ignore the bad thread it will sink to the bottom and wither away forever.

You obviously took offense from my response to your comment made earlier in this thread. I can't blaim you because I totally crushed your closed minded approach where you CLAIMED that the ufos couldn't be ufos and stuff like that. Again you simply can not say this is the case if you don't want to shut off real possibilities.

I have not animated anything and the explanations I give are solid and logic. I have barely heard any logic reasoning as to why the objects MUST be birds or bats or bugs or dust or whatever you might have as a default dubunk line.

You have still failed to give a logical explanation as to why you believe what you believe. You simply say it is so and so. Like you know it all. Now thats what I call ego. Atleast I can explain how I think so other ppl can understand my point of veiw.

And don't mix ego with stading up for yourself and what you honestly believe in. You are sinking to the bottom and you are too deep to reach the surface at this point. You think you can but you just don't know it yet. Perhaps one day you will. Until then bye bye from this thread.

Nothing I have posted is a lie. NOTHING. And ppl accuse me of animating stuff. Now how is that EVERYBODY thinks the objects are just birds or whatever. In your little mind everyone might think like you, but I know ppl have watched the vids and smell somethings fishy about them. How could you not. They move too fast etc etc...

Thing is, it's not fish they smell.
