CGI UFOs | Some of the best ones

Christopher Kenworthy
www.christopherkenworthy.com...

In April 2006, the Australian Film Commission funded an experimental digital video project by director Christopher Kenworthy. Between June and mid-August 2006 thirty-one clips of UFOs were created. The UFO videos were distributed over the internet via websites and video podcasts.
The project was hugely successful, being viewed by many millions of people. Very few people suspected that the clips were manufactured. Gradually, the level of plausibility was reduced, but only when the last two clips were uploaded did a large number of people get suspicious. It's also worth noting that two of the UFO clips we distributed were quite genuine - and no researcher was able to pick which two they were.
I wanted to give people a taste of the drama and excitement of a UFO Close Encounter, creating a genuine sense of wonder.
The project was covered extensively in Adobe Photoshop Forensics by Cynthia Baron.

Australian UFO videos hoaxed "immersive artwork"

A video was posted as genuine footage to Youtube.com by a "barzolff814". It depicts two large UFOs flying over an observer on a tropical island, said to be Haiti in the title "Haiti Ufo". The video was quickly debunked. The video was done entirely with CGI 3D Animation programs, (using such techniques as Match moving ), by French animator David Nicolas. It managed to fool many people; many still thoroughly believe that the video is real. The hoax was discerned by the identical palm trees in the video, which were originally in a 3D program called Vue Infinite.

A mock up of the recent 'Big Basin' UFO. Not entirely correct, as I worked from the first batch of photos, where some details weren't very clear or visable.

Not real, but it really looks as if it is. I'm surprising myself here. The background and houses aren't even video.. just a photo. The UFO is obviously a 3D model though. Just having fun here, don't make a big thing out of it.
Cheers.

Amazing... thanks for collecting and putting together for guys like me who thought they are real...

Thanks ... astar and a flag

I have to say that some of those hoax's were very convincing

So the Drones are FAKE???

All that time wasted researching them go figure...



So we might as well give up on UFO research because...

There is no way to tell a real video from one that is CGI

EVERYONE has photoshop

NO ONE believes an eyewitness anymore... unless its a murder case, then eyewitnesses will fry you

so... what about this one?

As far as I understand, the guy who made the drone videos is not related in any way to the people who took the photos.

He created the videos after seeing the photos.

I may be wrong.

[edit on 14-5-2008 by Comatose]

That does nothing to the footage we have from long ago, and the questions on secrecy over sightings that occurred over 40 years ago!

Thanks Ron
If that one would have been a confirmed CGI, then i'd have putted it at the top of the list: but it's not.
A CGI can often be fishy due to lack of supporting data:
eyewitness, media coverage, and so on.
All the CGI in the OP, fortunately, (unlike barzolff814's stuff) weren't intended to be passed as the real deal.
Now, if a guy like Kris Avery would decide to fool the people....
well, i think that it could take a looong time before spotting some hint, some fingerprints of hoax.

Regarding the case of Aviano, i have to say has been handled in a wrong way:
a telephon call and some email sent to a Local TV have been passed as a conclusive debunking.
That one has never been debunked in a convincing way, many attempts, but zero convincing conclusions. Claims claims claims, but zero evidences.
Basically the journalist took seriously an email sent anonymously by someone from an University:
and he also received some calls by people claiming to be able to make an "identical" one, with Adobe after effects, .
Still waiting for the "copy".
Well, the problem with this video is that the video itself is far more convincing than the explanations provided so far:
its scenario, besides,

would explain the secret surrounding the whole story.
But in my opinion is generically "unexplained".

reply to post by Comatose


You are absolutely right.
saladfingers123456 has recreated it purposely:
you can also find some of his posts if you check his profile, or in one of the huge threads about the caret-drone saga.
He's absolutely unrelated with the alleged sightings.

This digs up memories...

Internos why don't you see if Chris Kenworthy is still willing to be interviewed?

Nice list buddy, but i think you forgot the best in the business

Hi, fooffstarr:
you are right, but actually, i didn't:
there's a reason for that omission.
Manbird12000 is still a username, while as you can see, in the OP post i've just inserted CGI which authors are known.
i've all ready for manbird's post: but i'd like to get in touch with him, before:
He's also a fellow ATS member

I'll post his entry right after he'll tell me if he prefers to keep being anonymous or to share his identity.
Thank you, good catch btw

I knew you'd never miss something out haha.

I've got a post to look forward to then

Oh.. also. I'm trying to track a video down, and it had all the hallmarks of a manbird video but it isn't on his youtube account.

A gigantic ufo moved across the horizon with lightning bolts arcing below it, it eventually stops and something explodes on the ground. Then the camera is in a car following it down a freeway. I saw it a while back and it was really well done but i haven't been able to find it since.

Who says people cant be creative?

There are some really cool ship designs. We should acually build a model and see if it could fly.

So there are actually people that fill their lives with fooling people?

Amazing! No, they are called filmmakers, animators, magicians etcetera.

I am an animator myself, so I am aware how to fool the senses.
The point is, why would you try do it without telling?

And what do we proof? That our senses and minds can be misguided. Wow, well yes, our senses and mind are misguiding us 100% of the time. They assemble and form input and create images that are collectively and individually understood as reality. The world in itself as itself will never be seen by a human, because we have human senses.

And instead of educating us with this general principle, which can be done with doodles, all kinds of graphics, Rohrshach tests, wittness questionaires, Christopher Kenworthy put a LOT of time in this hoax of a ufo wave. Then he says that he did it do educate us, well that is of course a BIG lie. His intent in making these clips was to attract attention for himself and spread it all out on his website see how smart I am and how I debunked UFOexperts (as if there were any beside military men and ET's), and therefore I will give this thread no star or flag. Sorry Internos (I like most of your threads). I was aware of Kenworthies act and the foul way of spilling time and money puts me off. He can keep his lies for the Commision board.

Sorry, I think he is a fake. But it could be my senses.

hey internos what about these ufo videos? i am not sure if they are fake but you can see how i would think they are. star&flag for you my friend.



[edit on 14-5-2008 by miguelbmx]

This is fantastic work but to be honest it makes a mockery out of the serious field of ufo study.

People are having enough trouble sorting out which is fake or not.

It would be nice to see more legitimate video and photos with evidence.

Thanks for posting this

So true! Egotistic time and money waster

[edit on 14-5-2008 by Pjotr]

The video clips posted by 'zorgon' and 'miguelbmx' look not only blurry but contain what appears to be 'real' UFO's, especially how these objects shoot or blink away suddenly. The clearer ones are done too well with CGI, of course.

I like the fake ones more than the 'real' ones! Just like some people enjoy Hollywood 'war' movies over those grainy old 8mm documentaries showing the real thing. Imaginary bullets, or in this case UFOs, are always more interesting than the real thing. Unfortunately, some individuals make such believable forgeries that the real deal seems, even in high quality, more difficult to acknowledge as true.

Reminds me of a quote:

...but, as I am a new member, and unsure of how to work this quote gizmo, some other time.

Now this is educating the members stuff!

Great job getting this together.

I feel like I'm back in school.
