Ufology is doing a good enough job of that itself.

Oh I don't know about that - there exists credible government documentary evidence, credible radar/sonar evidence, credible electromagnetic interference evidence, credible ground trace evidence and credible (circumstantial) evidence in the form of sworn eyewitness testimony from 1000s of credible individuals.

Theres also quite a number of truly perplexing UFO incidents which leave the 'debunkers' with a hell of a lot of explaining to do - perhaps this is many cynics have an almost pathological aversion to addressing them (and instead prefer to just post snide one liners).

And how do you know this?

Fake movies, waste of space on servers, delete them all, save money. Business.



Edit: I don't just mean fake UFO vids, anything that's old videos that get zero playtime anymore, like cleaning out the garage, junk in the trash...makes more room without buying servers or server space etc.

HAHAHAAHA I'm sorry... What absolute garbage. Do you know how many videos are on youtube?? Do you honestly believe they are systematically going through and doing housekeeping on videos to free up some disk space? HAHAHAHAHA.

That is one of the most laughable things I have ever heard.... and it's obvious you have never worked in a big IT company before. Diskspace = CHEAP. Hiring people to watch videos to clear up Diskspace <> CHEAP.

Think about how hilarious it sounds.... to be paying an entire team of people to go looking through youtube videos... to check if the videos are old.... junk... or just irrelevant....... all so you can save some diskspace. I can just see the conversation now in the Youtube diskspace cleanup team.

Brian: How we going there boys.... we need to free up some diskspace... find any irrelevant videos?

James: Yeah I found one... it's only had like 78 views... and it looks like a 10 year old kid just mucking around with mates..... and it goes for 9 mins.

Brian: Good stuff.... well watch it and make sure it's a rubbish video before you remove it.

(9 minutes later)

James: Yup it's pretty irrelevant.... I'm gunna delete it.

Brian: Awesome... that's 56 meg we get back on the servers.... hey just looking at the stats... did you know in the last 9 minutes since you started watching that video another 28,000 videos have been uploaded to the server!!!! That's well over 2 terrabits of data?

James: Oh really... I better start looking quicker for more irrelevant old video's with zero playtime then!

Yeah... nice one. Youtube try cleaning up diskspace by looking for irrelevant old videos. I'm suprised most of my 2 year old videos with about 90 views haven't been removed.

Hang on here is a better idea.... why not remove the 1,000 exact copies of the exact same video there always seems to be once they get popular.... or maybe they don't bother because diskspace is the least of their worries. Copyright and seemingly removing videos that are not in the public's interest are more Youtubes bag it would seem

Somebody has to do some housecleaning! There are so many duplicate videos it's amazing that YouTube hasn't run out of "disk space." As long as my video of me and my wife Stumping The Band on the old Tonight Show, is left alone I'm happy!

That definitely works both ways.

Oh dear god.

I am not sure what is more pathetic..... the fact you think the Phoenix Lights have been explained "very satisfactorily as flares" or the fact you think Youtube is now removing videos that are not factually accurate.

It's statements like this that make me fear for the collective IQ of our planet.

My thinking has not nothing to do with the irrefutable evidence is in and you are in no position to question it. I've always claimed that not one single individual in the city of Phoenix looked up and saw anything but a star-filled sky. This is because as it is known, the flares were dropped in another location far from the city's sky and only those living in the hills facing in the direction of the area where the flares were dropped could see them.

You are obviously not aware that in addition to the famous video that you are used to seeing that a documentary was made and is shown once in a while showing investigators going to the exact same spot as the famous night video and shooting the scene in daylight. When both night and day videos are synchronized, the flares are seen to disappear one by one behind an appropriate mountain peak. I'd like to see you question those results. And, like I said, an airplane's strobe light is visible on some versions of the night video. At least one of the airplanes that just dropped the flares!

So, yes, I say good riddance to the Phoenix flares video!

It isn't just UFO videos.

Anything with copyrighted music is subject to deletion, if discovered.

I would imagine that UFO videos are more generally reported (more than some idiot kids skateboarding video) due to their controversial subject matter.

No conspiracy here.

A couple of years ago I was on a kick to find Nibiru info. Anyway, I would check daily for youtube videos, and of course, found lots of boloney, but the occassional..."hmmm, this sparks my interest" kind of video. Let me tell you, there was an enormous amount of video out there, then one day, it just dwindled..I was shocked. I used to put in all different kinds of key words and find lot's of stuff and then poof! Most all of it gone. I believe youtube is seriously controlled for content, yahoo, and google too for that matter, but what can I say, I also love ATS.

...... unfortunately

I will admit, it's very weird what youtube is doing, they have taken down thousands of ufo intitled videos and other related videos. I have no clue why they would do this, other than to make room, I don't know but it's strange, I wrote them and ask why, no reply yet!

Don't any of you guys use youtube downloader ? Grab the vids while you can !

Maybe there was crappy sinister music with the video? Usually, most UFO videos have the typical lame soundtrack and overlay boxes... which turn off viewers with any IQ.

...what the hack is a MUFON?
