Seriously this is one of the best vids I've seen, all the reactions in the background are very interesting, like when one girl says "If it upsets
you don't look at it!" That was hilarious!
I wish we could see the other vids the kid said were being shot when he was shooting.
That would be very interesting especially if there was a better camera involved that could zoom.
I think that some people,, who like to consider themselves "Professional ATS debunkers" (I think I've even seen a sig or two with something like
that in it) get in such a hurry to be the first ones to get the "debunk" that they attack every angle at once, like a shotgun effect, to cover as
many of the different angles at once, so they can be the first to say "I told you so" no matter how ridiculous it seems.
That is the only thing I can think of when some of the most ridiculous claims come out.
I mean who the hell has never seen an orange or red moon? I see one like that at least once a month from my 7th story window.
Now its being called a flare, and the person even has the gumption to call it a flare, declare it debunked and case closed
Some really dont even care if their claim makes any sense or not, its as if theyre in denial, they want so much to believe that its not true and they
want so much to swing others over to their way of thinking that they will make some WAY off the wall claims, some of them even more unbelievable than
even a UFO.
However, because of the nature of UFO's and other similar topics, skeptics/debunkers are very important to this board and others like it but they
need to be responsible and mature.
When they offer their opinion and back it up with decent evidence and then take the time to explain it rationally, then I have no problem with
them.
But when they stand up and declare something fake because the moon is orange or show a video that they edited, adding the words, flare, wind and moon
and anyone that doesnt agree with them are idiots, then they lose all credibility, at least as far as im concerned.
There have been many times that a person has scrutinized a photo or video and backed it up with very good evidence and had a post officially declared
a hoax by the mods.
I think its great when that happens and when a potential hoaxer sees in advance what their hoax will have to go through, they may change their minds
and spare themselves the humiliation and a ban from ATS
I'm still undecided on what the objects in this video are but im pretty sure that it isnt an intentional hoax, especially considering the different
reactions we hear from the other kids in the background.
Well, just add that one to the every growing list of the un-explained
