UFO Filmed from Roof also drops Orbs

Nice clip but it feels off to me. "OMG is that it? Hold on I can't... [see it?] Wait, I see something now" ... really? The lady shouting OMG can only barely see it when its already deposited 3 orbs over the space of 30 seconds in quite spectacular fashion, those 30 seconds of which she spent mostly loud exclamation about being able to see it and wanting to hide from it? I don't think anyone's going to lose sight of that if viewed in person?

Maybe she did but I don't find the audio convincing myself as a whole, it doesn't seem to match what's going on in any real way. Taken from another video, source or even acted as someone else said, but I doubt that - sounds like a real reaction to something, just not this display. Sounds a lot like a sighting where they're having trouble making out the "ufo", this one is bright - clear as day! And at low altitude! Also at the end, no reaction to it disappearing despite minutes of reactions (that don't seem connected to the timing of the visuals).

We've all been to a firework display, we know how people react to lights, whooshes, flashes - people don't react to a flash 10 seconds after it's happened. I assume the foreground voice is a person commentating on the original video? But remove that and remove OMG lady & what you're left with is certainly puzzling - but if the audio is as fabricated as it feels then I'll bet the video is too. Combo of nice FX and weird audio post production. Nice post though, provoked some thoughts!

It looks fake to me, all of it.

Woah there bad boy - you can't post hoax videos from Youtube on here for open discussion!

You'll discredit the UFO community.


Thanks for posting, always worth a chat whether it's fake or not!

With the way technology and software is today, it's a very serious question: How can we believe something is real and not hoaxed?

For something like the OP's video, I would have to say the answer is very clear: Where are the other pics and videos?

In today's world with camera phones being so wide spread, any UFO event that happens over a large populated area should produce a multitude of videos and pictures of it happening.

If it's something that's happening in less than 5 seconds over a large population, then I can believe only 1 or 2 people caught it on camera.

But for an event that lasts this long (or longer) it should be seen and reported by a multitude of people.

Pictures and videos where the event takes place in a lonely area (desert, forest, out to sea, etc), then I can accept that only one recording might exist.

Something recorded over a large city? If there is only one person taking pictures or producing a video in today's world, that makes it suspect to me.

When I saw 2 orbs in April 2009 at 6:30 am while dog walking after putting my child on a school bus. I pretty much just stood there for the minute or so I saw them move. During my experience the UFO lights turned off, or they just disappeared, in the same way as this video shows it. Then I said to myself "Wow all those shows on cable TV are a public service announcements and not just for money making entertainment." Then I walked back to the house and drew a diagram and showed my unbelieving /unimpressed husband. No drama. I don't think you have much time to watch and create the verbal drama. I had a really hard time believing I saw them. As time went on I felt some anxiety and panic, then I had the desire to start researching the internet and buy books on amazon to help explain it. I talked to some neighbors and could believe their experiences in life. I believe we are being observed by some one else.

Just doing some extra digging around on this and thought I'd share this.

From this Bobby Johnsons youtube account, if you click the about tab, it shows a link to his Google+ account. On his Google+ account is a profile picture. The data for this picture shows the file name as 'heres a random guy and some numbers.



Put 'here's a random guy' into google, and his profile picture is the first picture.



Doesn't prove the video is fake or hoax, but found that a tad bit odd.

This website claims to have it debunked here. Anyone computer savvy agree?

Before reading these comments I thought - amazing video, but the 5 orbs were exactly centered before the camera. Realistically they would have been angled. The geometry is suspiciously perfectly performed for us.

they did a good job motion tracking the orbs, good but not perfect. I can still see it sliding against the back plate. 8/10 tho

I saw a similar video claiming this on youtube as well, the TV lines.

Even if the hoaxer eliminated all those flaws, I still wouldn't consider such a spectacular sight genuine if it wasn't seen by more than one person over such a populated area, and since the audio doesn't match the visual. So whether that debunking is accurate or not, I don't think matters much, at least not to me.

To put it another way, if another CGI video surfaces that's done by a much more skilled CGI artist, are you going to believe it because you can't detect the CGI flaws, if the audio doesn't match the visual, and if it's over a populated area and nobody else saw it?

Good find.

From that website,



Hoax bin please...

I kept watching the water. I would think there would be some reflecting going on..a reply to: onehuman

What do you folks think?

The biggest red flag is that it is playing to the camera. The "orbs" line up along the horizon line in such a way to be seen only from the point of view of the camera. What would be the odds of that really happening?

I have the 720p download, there are no "grids." That shows up on the lower-quality YouTube stream.

And taking video off a monitor doesn't cause "grids," the effect is different, and called moire.

Comical.

a reply to: onehuman

If the orbs hadn't dropped out perfectly in line with their vantage point then I'd consider it at least.


But the alignment with the vantage point could not scream hoax any louder than if elvis was in the video too.

The below capture is from the 1080p HD in full screen download:



It's particularly visible when the camera is focused, and around the brighter lights...

So, yes, Hoaxkiller1 is right, this is a capture of a TV or computer screen displaying a still photo and animated 'UFO'. The 'grid' pattern is the CRT or LCD pixel array:





...which geometry varies depending of the CRT and LCD display:



Full explanations here.

Moiré effect:



Not quite similar and happens in very specific cases, see here for further explanations.

Hoax... again...

Definitely a U.F.O. Unimpressive, Faked and Obvious.

Damn ... got here a couple of hours too late. The video has been take down due to an alleged copyright infringement.

Copyright claim is by "Die Hoaxer".

That looks like a hoaxed copyright claim. Looks like maybe youtube isn't all that discriminating when processing copyright claims?
