I'm gonna have to agree with you here. I mean, c'mon, there is a big probability that:
1.) This chap is new and currently very into the UFO topic
2.) Has watched a ton of youtube videos to feed that new interest
3.) Felt that he/she witnessed strange things that warranted a recording session to potentially capture a future occurence
If you are new to UFOs, the ones with soundtracks can be compelling and add to the drama. The OP could have felt that it was better to do it that
way.
For one thing, the OP has stuck around to explain the few critical comments that were posted. The explanation for the zoom is 100% plausible.
Finally, if he/she did not notice the object when originally recorded, then there is no more to the story (i.e. why didn't you film it taking off,
moving, etc).
There would be other questions I would ask before I ascertained that it was a fake. For example,
1.) Can you please post the original recording free of audio/video editing?
2.) Is the copyright statement real or is it simply the easiest way to deter someone else from taking credit?
It is quite possible that this is a legit story and the OP doesn't realize what a poor piece of evidence that it appears to be to many members of
this site.
You guys were pretty brutal to the OP and should have given the benefit of the doubt. Questions could have been asked and advice given in a
compassionate manner. This was an entirely piss poor welcoming to someone new to the ATS scene. There is not a shred of proof that the OP was being
deceitful and or a fraud and in-turn has put up with what I feel is a completely disgraceful greeting. For that OP, you get my S&F
OP, while the video does look like it could easily have been faked don't be discouraged. If you should happen to film something in the future, you
should understand that the quality of the content is exponentially of more importance than the quality of the camera. While a crappy camera can make
a good sighting equate to a horrible piece of evidence, a good camera with HD does not make a poor piece of evidence better. Soundtracks give the
impression that you are sensationalizing which isn't expected on real, credible videos with the exception of compilations of previously known
sightings.
Hopefully you will stick around and positiviely contribute to UFO (or any other) topic threads. Try to understand, that the need for significant,
verifiable evidence is a must to have a credible thread on ATS.
