Right -- so again I ask: If this was (at least partially) a video of a real event that was altered/edited to look fake in an attempt to discredit the
"real" event, then where is the video from the original real event?
If the actual event happened, then I would think someone (especially on ATS) would have seen the video. If the video is real, but was NOT released
for some reason, then why would "discrediters" bother releasing the edited version...what are they discrediting if the "real" video was never
seen?
It seems more likely that the Texas video from 2008 is the original (and, by the way, looks fake). The German account of this happening a few days
ago is obviously a hoax because the footage is from at least 1 1/2 years ago.
...and the fact that the video looks worse at the end than it does at the beginning is not evidence of tampering (i.e. two separate videos put
together) -- it's just evidence of an inconsistent CGI job.
The inconsistent CGI job is "in your face" though.
#1. Is it possible that aunthentic footage can be tampered with to look fake?
#2. IF it is possible, how would we distinguish such?
The possibility of such is open for debate.
But let me offer a scenario.
The military are involved in a top secret test of survelliance craft that they become aware of was filmed by a civillian.
The military/CIA confront the individual and threaten the person.
The military takes the footage and "just in case" the footage has been passed on, tampers with the footage and with a preemptive strike upload it
but add something to make it look like a fake.
Did this happen here? I don't think so, but the video in my mind seemed strange for the reasons I already mentioned.
Is it possible that this happened here? Can we rule it out? Probably so, however, I would like to look at other footage more closely and or see where
the original footage of this "Texas UFO" is view it.
In other words, I am asking.......What if the Hoax is a Hoax?
