This one has a strobe light blinking at precisely once a second. So I highly doubt it's aliens. The Sanyo blimp maybe?

Not saying I don't believe. Just saying that a very large number of videos concerning the subject are probably not credible. Calm down my friend, I am trying to be helpful.

Aaarrrrgghhh! I’ve been dealing with this issue for about a week now. OP, you are so right on this. There have been sightings in Austin lately, very close to where I live and I thought, well, okay, I’ll get a camcorder and film them from a different location to corroborate their sightings. Ha, not hardly, the Sony I picked up which supposedly had it all was worthless for night shooting. Lowflying helicopters went all blurry and looked “otherworldly”, streetlights when zoomed in on became the “plasma” ships I have seen on youtube many times. If you moved the tripod at all it looked like a smooth high speed movement of the object. If you held it in your hand the object would dance all over. Also it could not even pick up high flying planes, nada.

I returned it yesterday and upgraded to what my pocket could afford which was a Canon HV20 3MP High Definition MiniDV Camcorder with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom. Though not much better than the Sony it has a couple of features that should help, a stabilizer which will cut down on dancing objects and also the HD quality. The Canon rep at canon.com said that the HV20 had another extra that I don’t recall that put it ahead of the other small ones for night shooting Btw, this is a $900 dollar camera. If I went for it and bought the Canon that could really do the job it would cost $3000 not including extra lenses.

Here’s some sites that are helpful, and at Willoughbys, where I bought the Canon, (at a much lower price) they also suggested the big camcorders but due to cost they also fell back on the same Canon that canon.com had suggested. It’ll be delivered Monday. Btw, if you have any camera questions Willoughbys is excellent, they have been in business a long time and are very knowledgeable.

I’ll keep at it as I have seen some unusual things in the sky lately, but to actually film them as I see them might just be impossible, at least until I have an extra $3000 to spend.

The clarity of an object is certainly up for some scrutiny
when we know nothing about the camera. That is for certain.
Whenever I view an online video I am usually skeptic at first.
I like to hear other peoples feedback to make sure I did not
have an oversight on something.

Problem is that when we see something blurred or pixelated due
to zooming in then we assume it is something explainable, like
a plane, chopper or a bird.

When we see something clear in the daytime, people say hoax.

At night, it's a bunch of lights and there is no reference points to
confirm it's height, size or location. It could be anything.

The most compelling evidence to me are the videos of extremely
fast objects or ones that show incredible maneuverability. While
they can be hoaxed on video, I think they deserve a good look
and study.

I personally saw something in Arizona about 10 years ago. My
timing was perfect. I was laying in the yard and in the matter
of 2 seconds, a blue streak came from my peripheral vision into
plain sight. Stopped for a second. It was a blue glowing object.
I could not make out a physical shape. As quick as it came it shot
in another direction. It happened so fast that I could see the V shape
of the light pattern as it simply vanished.

If I had a video of this I'm sure there would have been many nay
sayers or not enough info to go with.

However I know hat I saw. If people experience something. It's
important to write it down immediately and account for any info
and be as descriptive as possible.

Perhaps one day they will be able to down load our memories and see
through our eyes exactly what transpired.

Very good point...I've seen this angle also but it was by an airport so of course, didn't think anything of it and that's with just eye balling it.
A cam can just make it worse ...shaky...out of focus....faulty camera and / or operator. Many variables to these videos.
You made a good point and video.......kudos.

The vids I like are the ones of these huge birds that are caught on cam, now that is strange.

Just a my 2 cents, I thought this was a "real" ufo, shape changing. To me that's as realistic as this being a perception illusion! just a thought!
