"the previous video means nothing. what has that to do with the 'ufo' vid?"
Distraction.
People could post the most legit vid and others would shout "CGI" yet most of them are just parroting what they've heard others say.
As I said above, pointing to missing wing tips as proof of it being cgi is silly because the point of cgi is one can put in whatever one wishes, no need for missing wing tips!
Of the many vids out there, real or not, the one in the op is one of the better ones. I think the problem is the original vid has been copied and re-formated, leading to too much noise, giving the impression its been poorly made, the original was very good, and did not show planes with missing wing tips.

pointing out missing wings and video artefacts is indeed pointless, since it already looks unnatural by just looking at it with bare eye. Could talk about perspective and camera movement compared to object movement, but the fact that those jets move to slow to be real is strong enough argument.

Or you could talk about the fact that the video is signed (pun intended) by the hoaxer/artist that created it...
Have a look at the road sign at the end of the video.

The second video was presented, because it is on the same channel as the first video and both appear to be just a part of the demo reel for this cg artist.
And yes, pointing out missing wings and video artefacts is indeed pointless, since it already looks unnatural by just looking at it with bare eye.

I did say I wasn't claiming the vid was real or hoax, my objection is people who shout "CGI" just because they've heard others shouting it. We see it over and over again and when you pull them up on it its always left for someone else to defend them, thats because THEY were just parroting what they've heard.
By all means shout cgi, but they should at least know why they are shouting it. Just take a look at how many shout "photoshoped" when they see a video!

I feel stupid for not noticing that. It saves a lot of trouble in trying to discredit a fake, artist signed it himself. To bad no one will learn from this experience and a lot of people won't even question next cgi put in here.
