UFOs video taped in Reading - now turns out to be hoax

A reputable online UK Newspaper today put a video clip of UFOs filmed flying over Reading. This has since turned out to be a hoax. A couple of visiting American's were fooling around after having partaken of some alcoholic beverages as a result of needing to cool down in the sweltering heat of the day.

For a bit of fun they threw a few Coors Light Cans (also know as The Silver Bullet in the US and Canada) up into the air and began filming them.

When they looked at their tape afterwards, still a little tipsy from their sampling of aforementioned Silver Bullets, they decided to send a copy of their tape to the UK online newspaper, telling editors that they were UFO's, which indeed is NO WORD OF A LIE because they are most definitely Unidentified Flying

They didn't did they, they went through quite an in depth video editing process after? It wasn't quite the simple *on the spot* drunken hoax they are making it out to be was it?

Right now that is the only bit of info I can find stating that it was a Hoax and have sent the Telegraph a email asking for confirmation.

Well nothing back and TBH i am unsure as to if the thread is true or not since I can't find anymore info to back it up.

I was thinking they must have done something like that. Otherwise gravity may have had something to say to them about breaking its laws.

Hmm that object looks pretty high up there, they want us to believe drunks had the co-ordination and super human strength to throw some cans a thousand feet into the air. Secondly how come the cans have long trails??!? I know the cell phone frame rate sucks but its not gonna turn a cylindrical shape into a long trail, or the whole video would be full of trails from other objects. It may be fake, but it aint a beer can flying threw the air at high altitude (Meaning, higher than a person can toss a can)

Bullcrap
