Hilarious.
Yeah, that's exactly what I said. Astoundingly perceptive of you, but we have come to expect that of you.
OK fine, you see alien ships!
Happy now?!
You are definetly not in the ten percent!

I'm guessing maybe one in ten "believers" have any serious interest in UFO's. The beliver, the UFO evangelist, the uneducated, KIDS and, uh, gullible people make up the 90%.
Though I'm sceptical, I DO feel for the ten percent that really want to know. The whole field of interest is dominated by fakes, fools and frauds. It's nearly impossible to find ANYTHING that isn't a waste of time. After decades, I don't think it's even worth trying.
These threads pretty much prove that.
It is threads such as this that create these kinds of opinions and it is why i'm so annoyed at the OP and others for not accepting the very obvious truth. These videos are lanterns and the OP is utterly destroying any credibility that the UFO research field may have.

I think that was the first bit of swearing actually. There really is no point in trying to have a discussion with you is there? You're too stupid. You start with the personal digs, I continue to be civil, your personal digs get worse, my patience begins to fray, you try to claim I started the unpleasantries
The sad thing is, I think you actually believe it. How truly pathetic and infantile you are being. I no longer care in the least what those orange objects are - all available evidence points to Chinese lanterns, and you are unwilling to have a civil discussion about it to see if we can discount that theory. I'm done with you

Well, let's just discount the UFO hypothesis then.
Under durress, I am saying these were Chinese lanterns!
Happy with that? Please say Yes!
I want to be done with you too, whatever shameful ways it takes.
What a waste of time (and intelligence)...

Just to clarify, harryposter has NOT stated anywhere in this thread that he thinks these are alien craft. He appears open to the fact that they may be lanterns, but wants proof either way.

Oh grow up, one video of chinese lanterns and you start crying about it.
90% of all UFO sightings can be explained normally.
I bet the majority of the people who said these were lanterns believe in the UFO hypothesis, but because you can't stand having your video called a hoax, you lash out at them.

I don't blame you in the least - I've tried to be unbiased, but now I'm only waiting around for the mods to put this thread to rest. It's become pointless...if it was ever anything but.

And here comes the CGI thing at last! Where have you been? We were expecting you for so long...
It's not a hoax, it's only what I taped when seeing this things.
And I repeat: "things". No UFOs, no lanterns, no planes, no ETs, no choppers, no fairies, no flying smurfes...
I saw lights in the sky that I had never seen before over London in 10 years living there. That is all I reported: bright orange lights in the sky!
I am a believer but I am not satisfied with NO explanation, one way or the other.
Until I get an explanation, being believer or not doesn't matter, I will not know what I have seen.
Is that too much to ask? At least some official explanation or record?
We called 999 that night, done our citizen thing etc.
And no one cares to explain people what it was, be it medias or govt.
Or probably, no one ever cared to investigate or bother about it, it was a Friday night in London after all...

It has all the characteristics of being chinese lanterns mate.
The way it doesn't change direction or speed, all signs point to it being a chinese lantern.
It would be impossible to "prove" they're chinese lanterns because we didn't capture them, and we only have the video to go on.

Well ok, you only have my video.
Watch it again (the three parts, not just the first ten seconds) and tell me there was no change in direction or speed...
Especially Part 2 at 2:25 or so
Anyway, even if you notice you will tell me it's down to swirling winds or mother nature etc.
I'm telling you that's what I taped and I'm eager to know what it was.
Nothing else.
Please enlighten me...

I never once said anything about CGI, don't put words in my mouth.
Just because you saw a bright orange light doesn't mean you couldn't have seen chinese lanterns.
You want an official explanation for something that happens so frequently that most people don't report it? And add onto that the fact that 90% of sightings aren't actual UFOs but have a mundane explanation? And you want an official government or media response?
Yes, you're satisfied with no answer, that seems true, especially when the overwhelming majority of people on this thread agree that it looks like chinese lanterns in the sky, and displays all characteristics of a chinese lantern.
But the problem lies when you attack people for saying chinese lantern, as if it's some stock answer that people give, when in reality, it's a stock thing that people videotape then try to pass off as UFO's.

You implied my video was a hoax. No, you actually said both words: video and hoax.
So tell me, how would you make a video hoax without CGI? With Chinese lanterns maybe?
Back to step one...
