Hi there, a couple of points on this video.

My first thoughts are CGI but thats only a thought.

I was reading the comments on this video, il post the ones that caught my eye.

This secret NATO HTA mine-tracker was tested and filmed at Cellina river bed test site near Aviano NATO air base. It is using the coanda effect with jet propulsion which was first demonstrated in the fifties by John Frost with Avro VZ-9-AV Avrocar. For a closer look at the exact place it was hovering on the video go to Google: then choose "Maps" and enter cordinates in "Search maps: 46.13701,12.683201 Then choose "satelite" and zoom in. The Nato cameraman was filming from the east river side.


It was launched at coordinates 46.140872,12.678566 and flew 2 miles south then 2 miles west and landed safely at Aviano Nato air base.
It is clearly visible in front of the Experimental Flight Hangar at Aviano Nato Air Base: Go to Google Maps and enter cordinates in "search maps": 46.040591,12.606849
Then choose "satellite" and zoom in.

Dont know if anyone can check out those cordinates, im not tsaying that this is what it is, but worth checking out.

If it was CGI its a good one.

if this video were fake its a hell of a job to do so many keframes to animate the ufo and keep it in syncro with the foreground movement, im a visual effects producer and i know what im talking about CGI (computer generated images) are so hard to give them a real look, even in expensive movie productions sometimes you can tell they are not real sometimes they look cheesse, this one looks great

This isn't an Italian Air Force video. This is an evident hoax shown on TV during the program "Studio Aperto".

Again i dont know if anyone can verify the above.

All these comment's are from the youtube page, so only comments, but i thought a good start to what we are looking at here.

Although im sure Internos will know more....

Oh come on, that video has been bouncing around on youtube for ages. I don't think anyone could ever look at that and say it's real! Its more suspicious than a hollywood actor wearing dark glasses and a trench coat leaving a cheap whores house at three in the morning!
Its size looks wrong, the way it moves appears wrong. . .
Its as fake as Pamela Andersons funbags!

The number and variety of reports, pretty much all of which are conflicting, indicate that there's a very good chance there was nothing in the air over LA that night but AAA bursts and searchlight beams. The reports were coming from a panicked populace. Remember the Halloween broadcast of War of the Worlds? People were reporting Martians in their backyard!

I tend to think that the whole thing was a result of a huge snafu involving a lot of miscommunication and jangled nerves. An oil platform near Santa Barbara had been attacked by a Japanese sub like two weeks before this, and people were really edgy. I figure a flight of Army planes coming back from coast patrol decided to cut across Culver City on their way back to their base in Orange County. Newly-installed radar and searchlights spotted something, illuminated a patch of that low-lying fog common to the area, and the party was on. The planes managed to avoid getting blasted by flying out to sea south of Long Beach, but the AA continued pumping metal into the sky for quite a while. A pretty ignominious episode, and not good for public morale.

So here's where the conspiracy comes in. Rather than just admit they screwed up, the Secretary of War answers all the calls for an explanation by hinting that the thing was basically a formation of possibly up to 15 unknown planes, possibly piloted by saboteurs or Third Columnists from hidden bases out in the desert. It puts the proper spin on it, and actually helps with the internment of Japanese citizens, which had just started. Army looks like they're doing their job, more Japanese get rounded up with less squabble, it's a win-win!

Maybe there's some old paperwork on the cover-up buried somewhere. Possibly some of the pilots from the patrol flight still alive. Or maybe not. It was wartime. Lots of things like this just get smoothed over.

That's my wacky theory, anyway. You can stick with alien flying saucers if you like. Who knows? Maybe it was crippled enough by the artillery to drift off and crash in the desert of Nevada. At Area 51!

Then we have the classic 'zoom off' into the distance. To me, there's several 'tells', though it is pretty well done.

That zooming off into the distance thing is the hardest effect to get right, apparently because it involves reducing the size of the object at just the right rate to make the shift in light natural and the pixellation accurate. But you have to do something, or you end up with footage that just stops, leaving everybody to wonder, "Well, what happened then?"
