Did they have remote controlled kites in 1979?

Hmmm, would it be possible to upload the VOB or ISO copy? I might be able to get something clear out of the original, or maybe someone that is an expert at video with some kickass program could come up with something. I would be willing to give it a shot at least.edit on Tue, 07 Jun 2011 06:08:07 -0500 by TKDRL because: (no reason given)

Hello Again, I just viewed vid and stills and can say it is not a kite and not a balloon and nothing we have flying is like it.

If you want these objects to be UFOs the stills are a great resource. But if you actually want to identify the objects the video is much better
They're rotor-kites.

Oh I get it, don't look at the close-ups from unconverted video. Look at the far away pictures posted on Youtube so the cover-up continues.
The news may be picking this up. Fingers crossed.edit on 7-6-2011 by elouina because: (no reason given)

I heard about this "sighting" some time ago and I applaud you for making the video available online I'm not saying to be mean or anything but to me this thread ended with staples post on page 1. It's quite obvious that your will to believe has impacted your judgement here.

What you are doing cripmeister, is making a judgement based on 1/2 the evidence. And the most poor quality of the evidence. So who is skewing evidence for their own beliefs? At least I am willing to keep an open mind to both sides. And have even entertained a balloon theory.
Like AmatuerSkyWatcher said, everyone, take a look at the stills on page 13.

What about the press photographers (as Chadwickus pointed out)? What about the 52.000 attendees? If this was a legit UFO sighting wouldn't there be tons of photos and newspaper articles of it? I looked at the stills on page 13 and the stills make it look like a UFO but the video tells me otherwise. staples video is a good match, can you offer any evidence that they're not rotor-kites?

Can you offer me any 100% evidence they are rotor kites?

Again, the video posted on page 1 is a match for what we're seeing in your video. If that explanation isn't okay with you then you must contribute something better or disprove the rotor-kite theory, simply saying that you don't agree isn't good enough.

Huh.. Just watched that video again and damn.. I will never believe that these are kites.. What I was talking about is "rotor ufo kites" , but they are really hard to control to be in formation like that and they are just too high..

So what you are seeing in the compressed video is not what is actually there.
