As promised this story is the real deal. So go on and make your own thoughts and decisions about this.
The video you are about to see seems to be a FLIR-hud-vision captured by one of the jets, that were sent out to intercept the unknown object. The
materials we (me and one other ATS member who wished to remain nameless) used for this analysis/post were this video, an event-log and a
power-point-presentation, but the information included in there has not been worked out yet.The files we have can be released on demand.
Hi thefinaltheory,
Well, you asked for thoughts...
I have three points to make (the third of which is probably the most significant).
Firstly, the video is similar to (though not the same one as) a video purportedly from an Australian jet fighter's HUD (Heads-Up Display)
created last year by a film maker called Chris Kenworthy. He created that video as part of a series of "UFO" forming an "immersive artwork"
project funded by the Australian Film Commission.
Once the hoax was revealed, Chris Kenworthy obtained a reasonable amount of publicity on the Internet. Members of ATS should be aware that other film
makers may try to generate publicity in the same way by copying Chris Kenworthy's project.
His "immersive artwork" project involved creating various UFO videos using Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) and video editing techniques, such as
compositing. He also made available fictional stories to accompany those videos.
For example, the "Australian's fighter HUD display" footage was accompaned by a story somewhat similar to the text accompanying the video posted
with your link above. The "Australian's fighter HUD display" video was accompanied by text stating: "The witness who sent this tape did so on
condition that he not be interviewed or contacted, or even questioned regarding the footage. For obvious reasons I do not have the original camera
tape. Thousands of people have written to point out that there is a date stamp in the bottom right-hand corner: July 13th 2006. Many people have
written suggesting possible locations, with the most likely being off the coast of Kwinana in Western Australia, although this is unconfirmed. There
is strong speculation from many sources that this was shot with a FLIR Star Safire camera (or something similar), from a helicopter. Investigation is
ongoing."
That "Australian HUD display" footage has been discussed on ATS in the thread below, in which I posted various links and further details of Chris
Kenworthy's "immersive artwork" project:
www.abovetopsecret.com...'
The webpage relating to Chris Kenworthy's "Australian HUD display" footage can be found at the link below:

Secondly, members of ATS should be slightly suspicious of individuals posting "UFO" videos with a rather vague accompanying story one day
after they registered. The lack of any track record on ATS makes it somewhat difficult to assess your credibility. It makes more possible (though of
course does not prove) that you are merely a hoaxer that has published a link to a video that you have created.
Thirdly, and most significantly, the link you gave is part of the German website at the link below:
www.vision-unlimited.de...
As the photographs indicate, that website is related to film making.
I have translated some of German text on that website, from which it is apparent that the website is that of a group of film students from the
Stuttgart area.
The website is stated to be for the purposes of presenting those film student's own projects and to give prospective customers a view the work they
can create.
More details of their film projects can be found at the link below:
www.vision-unlimited.de...
Notably, at least own of those film projects appears to have involved creating computer generated spaceships.
Conclusion : Pending release of the promised further "files", this video should be tentatively identified as an attempted hoax on ATS by
members of the "vision-unlimited" group of German student film makers.
Kind Regards,
Isaac Koi
