I saw this thread before it got removed, video was vaguely interesting. However at no point did the camera zoom into the hovering object, even when it was stationary. Also this thing pretty much descended to the ground, you'd think in a densely populated area a lot of people would see this, even though it was at 1am.

However if it is real... its quite spectacular, especially at the rate it shot off into the sky. I still have my doubts over how genuine this footage is.

It struck me odd as well when I called my wife into the room to show her the post and it was "404'd" funny thing is she said the government blocked the post but I later found the video on youtube. Fascinating. I understand that the poster of the original video may have been discredited before, however, the video looks real to me. Can any CGI experts chime in?
I am skeptical on why the person taking the video did not attempt to zoom in. Almost like he knew the object was going to drop down and zoom up back towards the sky.

Thanks for reposting it! They seemed to sync very well with their reactions and what was happpening, They were good enough for me to believe. I did noticed that it was very calm and hardly any shakiness. Usually Ufo's tend to blur when being filmed. Im not an expert but have seen alot of videos. It looked very fake when ascending upwards but I would imagine something we arent use to seeing would look fake. If a Ufo really landed in someones back yard and video tapes it, you know people would say fake. I dont know, mixed reviews for me. S&F

Credit to redoubt for the original thread ...and thanks to Gamma MO and 1SawSomeThings for embedding the youtube. This is my first thread by the way.

Why wouldn't the video-guy zoom in? Was he THAT satisfied with the distance (to see nothing in detail)?

I don't know. They did 'act' surprised as this thing took off but was there a reason given why they were filming from a hillside (giving the perfect prospective) to begin with?
