Transparent UFO near Mount Fuji, Japan

I'll say here what I said on this site linked below back in October when this first came up, (why it's being brought out again is beyond me)

These guys appear to be the original uploaders and they're saying nothing about the source.

I have to question this one. Something seemed off in this video, till I realized that outside of the camera itself, nothing in the video was moving. Not even the other bystander supposedly filming this UFO. It looks like someone recording video of a photograph. I'm leaning towards hoax on this one.

It's Halo 4! lmfao, it looks like a Halo from Halo though

You'll make a great debunker one day Versa,

You've already learnt how to filter out the information that does not fit with your theory, and retain only that which does.

lol actually I didn't say I subscribed to the water droplet theory I just grabbed a SC so that people could see what was being referred to by other people, try to be helpful and you get flamed for it!

It's not my intention to police a thread, but...

As far as I know the video has not been posted here on ATS before, which means that its members have not been able to see and react to it. I personally think this video is very interesting, perhaps others feel that way too.

Interesting... but personally I see things changing in the video. Look at the clouds below the higher UFO. The camera pans to the right, then back to the left, and now we have an additional cloud and a darker shaded cloud between the clouds and the snow-capped peak.

And once again, the second UFO next to the second 'cameraman' is moving, according to me...

There was no flaming Versa, just some irony on what I believed was your intentions. I apologize.

By showing a still image of something that is IMO moving, you gave weight to the 'droplet' theory, so if you were helpful it wasn't to me.

No hard feelings?

Now, scrap your still image and go back to the video and watch it. Watch it several times. See how the 'water droplet moves from left to right?

If you take the top of the Fuji mount as a reference point, seems like it keeps the same exact distance to it.

Need to be checked though...

I'm going to be sceptical about this, especially since a video proves little or nothing about this sort of thing.

Oh and I can't resist...

Hmmm, I don't know.

There's no audio. All modern 'corders have audio. Why would you remove audio? -1 point.
Too short. If you think you are recording a REAL UFO, try to make it longer. -1 point.

As far as the object itself, I'll rule out water drop, merely because of the previously mentioned focusing issues. It appears to be concave, slightly solid edges, transparent middle. Interesting, but not conclusive.

Maybe the aliens were shooting video of MT. Fuji, and their cloak doesn't function while their videocam is on?

To repeat what I think someone else stated and was missed as it debunks the water droplet 'video' theory.

Object 1 above mount fuji maintains a constant position. If this was a pan from behind a window or even a droplet directly on the lens then you would see a change in distance relationship between the foreground and background features. It might not be a huge movement but it would be easily perceptible.

I find that more evidence points towards it being a video of a still photo of an older UFO pic. The apparent age of the footage and the lack of movement being main factors. The zoom is of high quality suggesting a good HD camera. We could in fact be looking at a video of a still photo, which then puts the water drop theory back in as plausible in the original photo.

The kicker of course is that freaky little 2nd object. I think this is where we need to focus to come to a conclusion about the validity of the first object, as funky as it looks suspended over the mountain.

Could it in fact be an abberation on a glass photo frame or even an insect moving across the photo

Its a bubble. Just my 2 cents.

what is this? stargate?

Mm, you can't use Mt. Fuji as a reference point since it is not in the shot when the camera records the small low flying UFO.

But you can use the terrain below as reference point, and it is IMO undoubtedly so that the object moves slowly from left to right, slightly upwards! Short of posting image by image frames to prove it, it should be evident to anyone who looks at it with an open mind.

This therefore invalidates the droplet theory and the still image being filmed theory, so we're back to square one.

What are these two unidentified objects in this video?

Well, I took a second and closer look at the video and seems like you're right...

I even found what seems like a car that moved on the video from 24" to 26":



Definitely not a shoot of a still...

So, the plot thickens.

We now have two unidentified objects in this video, one completely static high up in the sky, and one floating horizontally at a much lower altitude. Both seems to be semi-transparent, round and similar in nature, whatever that is.

They do not seem to be balloons, for reasons already mentioned in this thread.

They do not seem to be droplets on a glass, because there is no indication of glass, and visual effects from auto/focusing on/off the objects are absent. The fact that both objects are constantly in focus indicates that they are both in the landscape at a far distance, caught by the camera on infinity mode.

It does not seem to be a still image filmed, because there is movement and changing features, however small.

Suddenly it got awfully quiet in this thread

Very interesting. There was alot of attempts at debunking this until it was proven that this video is not a still shot. Good job guys!

Could someone isolate (zoom in on) the lower UFO and loop the sequence when it is in motion? Perhaps even stabilize the image?

No more opinions on this funky video?

If you can't discard it as a fake, then it's of no interest?

Personally, I thought it was all about finding the real deal. Well, give it a shot ATSers!
