The problem is either a video is too "real" and therefore a CGI fake, or its too blurred and its a bad fake.

What do people want, one to land on their nose with a sign "Im a UFO" on it?

Its not CGI. It passed all tests for CGI and its not studio produced.

That does however leave it open to a far simpler hoaxing, blocking out the bottom of something so just the top pokes over and the more I look at this the more suspect it is.

For validity at this point someone else needs to film the same thing which apprently appears regularly.

Excuse me, but they make VIDEO GAMES which could fool some people into thinking they were real life. Why is it not possible that this is fake? It sounds like you just want to believe it's not fake so you believe you got one over on "those damn skeptics LOL".

It was tested independantly and wasnt CGI and im sorry you will NOT fool a professional analysis with CGI this I know for a fact.

However I think the hoax, as I suspect it is, was far more low tech and involved simple foreground trickery. Thats a sad state if image analysis cant correctly identify things like that though.

regarding the OP, the footage is interesting, but I have to wonder where the original footage is, for analysis?

youtube video is never enough for serious evaluation, and the original footage for these incidents always seems non-existent.

if this were an important case, the one who shot the video would have the original dv tape safe and secure, and perhaps even persuaded to upload the raw footage for scrutiny.

Where's the profit in that? Then no one would pay for admission for "special viewings".

Sorry, but this footage is certainly not "the one" - not even close...

Almost every aspect of this footage screams hoax, and I'm not going to list them, as people have already numerous times here.

As far as hoaxes go, this would have to be a 3/10 , and that's being generous!

I wonder if you've read the link?

Try to peruse the article carefully, maybe you'll understand better.

What is the big deal with the profit thing/ I mean why wouldn't one who is economically challenged want to sell "The best UFO footage ever" for big bucks. I know I would. Does that make me a scam artist because I'm trying to make a decent profit off of something so unique.

We have movie studios and paparazzi who are legitimate professionals who make huge money off of shocking footage or copyrighted material.

This has no bearing on the footage that he owns or knows someone who owns a "UFO oriented business"

Like I said before, this is awesome footage no matter what diseased skeptics say about it. And unless and until it is pr oven either genuine or fake I will just say let's wait for the best impartial experts to weigh in before casting the HOAX stone!

I have nothing against making money. I even do it myself. All I said was that if the original video were to be made freely available (as someone suggested), there would be no incentive for people to pay to see it. Does that not make sense?

I think it's rather rude to call me diseased. You can call me a skeptic I suppose, but I'm actually quite healthy.

Still cant really tell what it is, but I must say this is by far the most compelling footage I've ever seen, I hope after better review its still shown not to be a hoax and maybe we can extrapolate a 3d model outta all that film.

I am from turkey too and this is great advirtesement for us, yoohooo...but..
this is nothing but a spoon

I still don't know what to think of this footage... to be honest, it seems pretty damn real.

I don't live in the U.S, but I once went along with a bunch of friends to a beach past midnight and I saw something(s) that was very similar to the object in the video. I initially spotted some lights out in the distance.. now these lights were like nothing I had ever seen before. one of the guys with me told me that those yellowish hovering orbs we were seeing were actually Jinn.
I refused to take his word for it, so he brought a big powerful flashlight out from his trunk and started flashing it toward the lights to convince me of something paranormal. As he flashed it, the orbs started to move toward us from all around us as I can remember... It really was a strange experience, the closest I can describe as, is that it looked alot like the phoenix lights incident.. only it was at the beach.

Starred and Flagged OP.

When did scientists and astronomers become experts on video foolery?
I'd have more confidence in a report from Hollywood saying this was genuine.

Also, the people doing the alleged report were Turkish, and Turkey makes a significant amount of its income through tourism. Thus any patriotic Turk may feel obligated to support a notion that could bring more capital into their country.

This video is a sad piece of camera-wiggling nonsense.
Filming a model half behind a black screen, against a black background, jiggling the camera to suggest movement, and blurring the picture are child's play.
