This is the video created by the Sci Fi channel as a promo. It is not real, although it is pretty cool! The woman in the helicopter has admitted that she's just an actress and this was a paid job. It's supposed to be a couple on a helicopter tour of New York City (pre-911) who are just lucky enough to catch this amazing footage of a ufo! There have been numerous threads on this in the past.

lol, show me where sci fi.com says its a promo made by them. this is NOT a promo by sci fi.com, this is a video that has been around for a long time, some people claim its a hoax but so far no one has any proof of such. there are quite a few other threads about this video, do a search and you'll find them.

If it was a promo Blondie got a bum role in it I could not even see the women clearly at all. I happen to watch Sci FI Channel alot and have never seen this promo do you know what Sci fi movie it was from.

What was funny about those "Happens" series of promos that Sci Fi did was that they would always try to "sneak" the Sci Fi Channel logo into the supposed "event". In this one for example as the "object" speeds up and out of view it's contrail circles a smaller circular cloud making the logo out of the contrail from the "ufo" and the cloud that was already there.

In another promo they had an "attack" of ladybugs at a family picnic where in the last shot of the video the ladybugs were circling a smaller circle of ladybugs which also made out the Sci Fi logo.

The promos were ok but they shouldn't have presented them as real events because apparently lots of people got mad at the channel for "deliberately misleading" their loyal viewers.

I've seen that Sci-Fi trailer on the air before some years back before 9/11. I find it sad that sci-fi channel can overestamate the intellegence of its tv audience. No wonder Orson Wells fooled so many people.

Orsons Wells invaders from mars comming to earth an attacking the earth is alittle different then something moving pass a chopter really fast. This video if seen out of context and edited could make it confusing but I doubt anyone killed them selves and went crazy with fear after seeing it. If anything this video rasied the question what the hell was that,

Why do I see the same UFO of size, speed, shape on several 911 video footage? Did the CNN make some hoax in the favour of Scifi channel? It is funny to me. The official version could be lying well enough, as in most UFO cases they do so.
