Given the above scenarios and the factual data and evidence I'm presenting here, it is THEREFORE IMPOSSIBLE that standard latex balloons, the kind seen in the pictures and being thrown around by debunkers and skeptics, could be what was witnessed for over 4 hours by multiple sources. That doesn't mean that some people didn't see the yellow balloons when they were released, it means that after 30 minutes, they would no longer be visible or would have popped or been carried away by wind currents which would also infer that 2 hours later, it could not be possible in any way that those balloons were the same ones released.

So... A school teacher, her students, and the school lied?
NYC UFO: Just a Bunch of Balloons?
I don't know how these people would lie. Can you prove that they lied?edit on 15-10-2010 by Section31 because: (no reason given)

Do you think dozens of people would be stupid enough to not notice that the objects which they were captivated by for hours were balloons if they really were?

I think people are digging a little too deep.
Let us go by everyone's four hour balloon theory...
If these balloons did disappear after four hours, is it possible for copycats to take advantage of this opportunity? Maybe release more balloons during the night?

I am sorry, I had to go to work yesterday and I missed around 60 pages of this thread. Can someone bring me up to speed? Now it is not planes but balloons?

It would not be the first time.

Okay, I have no more to contribute. Unless people start to think on solid ground, there cannot be an intellectual conversation. People are just expanding the facts behind this scenario, so it would fit into a very specific narrative. Once someone comes in with a rational expiation (evidence), you people are changing the original story that was told.
You people are now creating an entirely new narrative, so it will fit into some sort of UFO fantasy. I can no longer take you people seriously.

Your contributions are just as valid as anyone else's, but to say that we are not thinking on the level is seriously misguided imho.

I am sure when that person in the video got home and found out about the event
on that day he might view it with a different pair of eyes... or not.

You people called a bunch of school children, their teacher, and the school a bunch of liars. It has nothing to do with my contribution. If you go back and reread the last two pages, you will see that people called their testimony a fake.
All logic has been abandoned.
Regardless about what evidence in the contrary people will contribute, many have already decided that these balloons were of alien origin.
Logic has already been lost. Nothing in this thread can be taken serious, nor can there be an honest debate.
My skeptical analysis based upon the news and video evidence is over.
It wouldn't behoove you to concentrate on the EarthCam for that had nothing to do with the 12-hour long events on Oct 13th in Manhattan.
EarthCam rumors were the result of Internet users.
So far it's one of two things: 1) We just don't know or 2) It was a major hoax with deliberate staging.
