Could you provide some comparative photo examples please?
For instance, a few webcam ufos, then a few real ufo pictures.
Thank you, you raise some good points.

This is the type of thing I am talking about people.... this guy's post.
All you have is inconclusive video of lights. The moving lights can easily be jets, and it has already proven to be jets. The video is filming a known flight path, and examples have been shown. There is even video of it happening the next day, and the next day, and the next day. If you insist that UFO's are showing up every day in the same spot and nobody is getting more than a web cam video of it, I would have to say that is the most illogical thing I have ever heard.
the debunking video you posted shows someone elses video not mine so try again
i have spent nearly five weeks of my life looking at this cam every night and have yet to see anything at all like i saw that night so please spare me the lights were seen the next night stuff as i have been cafully watching to see what is "NORMAL" air traffic patterns so i can say these lights HAVE NOT been seen since
As for that more stationary object you point to in the top right... that is just a light. It could be anything. It could be a reflection on the lens from another part of the city. Or it could be Jupiter (if you look at sky maps for that time and direction you can confirm this to be accurate). It could be many things. If you watch the time lapse you can see the object moves the same speed as Earth spins and could easily be a celestial object. Those web cams have dirty protective covers over them, so it could be a much smaller light that only appears larger because the protective cover is distorting the light and making it appear the way it does.
funney thing is in the explination thread i linked to you will see no one has explained this light 100% and there is two sets of footage from different angles with buildings in the foreground
you said it yourself this could be anything
thing is i have cheaked for a five week period and any celestial object would have reapaired by now so no
The problem is, this is inconclusive, low detail, no sound, out of focus, no eye witness, rubbish. What do you expect from it? It could be multiple things.... it's a semi UFO. From the video it appears that it's not even flying, it just happens to appear in the sky. It could be a reflection. It moves a little, and could be a celestial object, but those don't fly....
just look at the behaviour of these objects again the move together as if connected i dont think you read my link
It's just inconclusive unless you ignore direct evidence. I am willing to believe it was Jupiter because it was not only is it moving the speed of celestial objects, but that is EXACTLY where Jupiter was on that night.
so there we have it you have wrongly concluded what the larger object was and yet your 100% sure you know what it was (would have been visable by now 5 weeks) dont worry though i have had people name the moon jupiter venus the iis a heli copter planes ballons and other things i have cheacked all these claimes and can say they are not up to scutiny by me
....There is no point debating with you. I am aware of your denial, I have read your posts. Plus, it is crappy web cam video. Exactly what this topic is about.
edit on 13-11-2010 by gift0fpr0phecy because: (no reason given)
point in trying to make here is that you are adament this has been solved yet your explinations are lacking
im willing to discuss your opinions
are you willing to discuss mine
because if not this thread is an attempt to try to make members look and feel stupid weather you realise it or not
and by having this conversation with you i wish to show you that i personally am not stupid
or easily fooled and i dont like it when members attack an avenue of interest because its not your cup of tea
each to their own no need to belittle anyone here just dont post

These false alarms are very distracting to the real efforts of the experienced researchers. In the end, it does nothing but further muddy the waters for those who are looking for good evidence. There seems to be a trend, and newcomers to the UFO subject are no longer looking for good evidence, but instead, they are looking for anything that can pass as an unidentified flying object.

I disagree with you. First of all, the title of your thread seems to condemn people for hunting UFO through webcams whether they actually upload anything or not. It is really up to them to decide what they do in their private lives.

Secondly, who are the experts and experienced researchers that you are referring to? You should realise that any witness is actually as good as, if not better than, the so-called experienced researcher (especially if the researchers themselves have had no encounters and are just theorising)

I have come across this kind of UFO snobbery many times before , with the usual: "I have been researching UFO for many years so I know more than you" attitude.

There is somethng else which bothers me. Some people seem to take exception to people posting questionable UFO clips on youtube because they say that it damages the hard work of researchers. As far as I am concerned, these people can carry on posting as many clips as they want and Alison K can continue flooding Youtube. It does not bother me at all. It really does not change anything at all. I have my views and that's it. I have not got such a poor view of humanity to worry about how the world will be influenced by youtube clips.

Perhaps there is a drive to create a universal belief about what UFOs are. Maybe that is what some UFO researchers trying to do. I have seen many posts where 'Ufologists' are suggesting that the definition of Ufology should only be limited to the consideration of physical crafts and the examination of evidence. No other considerations should come into it. In other words they say that Ufology should not embrace things such as philosophy, Quantum physics, Spirituality, Metaphysics, the occult .. and I could go on. That means that UFOs will remain a mystery for the next millenium thanks to this attitude.

In my opinion, 10 million amateur UFO clips can never be 'false alarms' .
