Clearly that man is a hoaxster and should be sued for impersonating a checkout scanner...

Personally i can't understand how people could be tricked into thinking it's a ufo when it's obviously a reflection off the window, bad acting included. I mean you could see the window frame at the beginning of the video.

I don't think this is really that insidious to UFOlogy, no more than sci-fi movies, the X-Files etc, it's just symptomatic of a wider public awareness of a possibility of the phenomena... people hoax/make fakes in many different fields, sadly that's human nature, but a couple of kids - so what? Good for them. This reminds me of the story of the kids paintings that fooled loads of art dealers, thinking they were "lost masterpieces" - can't find the story I'm thinking of but here's a similar link...

Stop right there, and read your sentence... What you just stated is that You can't convince yourself that what you see isn't always what you think you see...
But a couple of kids can and are smarter and more rational...
AND your stating that there ARE indeed genuine extraterrestrial or other dimensional entities?! What proof have you to back up this ludicrous claim??
example:
I see planes flying around everyday, but I have yet to see a person flying around, and I'm not going to make a statement, that indeed people do on occasion take flight without the aid of a mechanical vehicle...
You see these "kids" made something fake and they've got adults chasing around believing this tripe... That tells me 1 of 2 things.
1. It doesn't take much to convince the people that believe UFO's are in contact with this planet.
2. That also shows the intelligence of the people that witness and believe they are seeing UFO's, which is at or below average.
And spell checking big complicated words doesn't make you any smarter...

Yes, and that plus the fact it became an international incident speaks volumes to the gullibility of too many people ready to believe anything at the drop of a hat with only a crappy video for evidence.
