North Dakota UFO--- interesting footage

No wonder people think we're all lunatics.

PUN INTENDED.

You can't say you watched the video unless you watched it beggining to end. The guy mentioned the moon, he says he is filming the moon, what matters are the objects that appear halfway in. Although as i stated already, this is nowhere near proof.

I stand corrected. He should have started near the pertinent portion of the blasted footage.

And why the hell is it that these people who shoot UFO footage never have a tripod?

There is one thing that stands out regarding this film and I have heard it time and time again. Listen to what he says about not being able to see it with his naked eye but yet he can see it with the video cam. This tells me that it has something to do with some kind of emf spectrum of light.

I have heard the same with taking photos with a regular still camera. The photographer didnt see the object until they developed the picture.

Now that I think about it, these things could be all over the place at all times. We need to find out what it is about still cams and vid cams that allows these things to be seen.

Makes me want to go buy one of those vid cams with the night shot eventhough night shot might not be needed to see these things as we see in this case and other cases.

i have a feeling that night shot would have just blurred them out as the ir lamp on the camera would have illuminated everything around the camera and washed out the points of light.

but what intrigued me the MOST about this video was the last 20-30 seconds. anyone else see a blinking white light near the object? fighter investigating perhaps?
grand forks and minot arent that far away, and i could be wrong but there may be an air national guard base closer....just a thought

Yes, that is what interests me too. The camera guy says something like "wow, star wars!" or something, and it does appear that the bright light is shooting some kind of "photon torpedoes" (hehehehe, sorry for making "light" of this), so that is the one thing in the video that is really cool. I wish one of them would've moved though. The whole time I was watching I kept thinking that those lights were porch lights of houses on a wooded hillside off in the distance. Just can't discern the hillside and sky because it is pitch black out, and the camera wasn't able to see the difference.... I wonder if some photoshop expert here would be able to do something to the photo to see if they can see where the horizon is?

Btw, I dont mean to "knock" this video, it is a great video, especially the end... I am just making possible suggestions...

I always check the google vids every morning to see what is new. I watched that and I was impressed by how this guy sounded. I do not believe him to be faking this. However, it is so hard to judge what these are as it is so dark out. It had formation, the lights split, but I did not see any extreme movement. At this point I wish the person had a tripod and just kept his camera still so we could see if there were any extreme movements.

Very cool video, I give it a thumbs up!

I went to this page to see their images. I grabbed image 7 & 8 and just brightening up those images you can see more points of light. Example of image shown below.

Dickenson Image 7 untouched


Same image brightened


I'll look at the rest, but just wanted to show that I do not see any hillside in this image.

Excellent video - very intriguing. Any official news/statements on this yet?

Good video very intriguing that the cameraman could not see the objects with the naked eye he did call for his buddy’s but they didn’t seem to turn up?

At about 6 min 40 the object right of the moon accelerates away from the moon this can be seen quite clearly and imo is nothing to do with the camera man

As with the idea that they are flares would a flare accelerate away like it does at 6min 40sec into the video? And they could not be lanterns as they appear and then disappear. If they had of been lanterns would they not of been lit up before they were sent into the air?

As to the end of the video im just at a loss there appears to be some strobe like effect.

That video was impressive. I have seen a few videos like that but nothing as long or as clear. Michele, thanks for the screen shot, the lighter version puts it into perspective. Great find

Amazing stuff. Makes me want to just take pictures of the clear sky to see what shows up. Sorry to say, but this would be almost impossible to fake. There are two strobing objects near the end too. Definately not flares, because they have to be dropped by planes, and this video is long enough from the beginning that you would be able to see a plane dropping flares. Great video!!!

Cool video. If it's a fake, it's a pretty good one.

Anyone else notice the "Dark Night"(no K) references in the comments?

I'm starting to wonder......

Towards the end when that object appeared to be streaking away there were 2 or possibly 3 lights blinking above it pretty much in parallel with whatever was streaking. The lights were very faint. In the very beginning when you first see the formation I dunno wether it was a trick of the lights or not but it looks like points of light go ffrom ship to ship like a web.

Strange at first I thought it was people maybe dressed in black at ground level messing aound cuz its hard to tell the distance/aspect of the ground to the moon. If its legit that was amazing.

To show this, hold a finger by the moon just before the object "streaks". It's easy as he actually holds the camera pretty still here.

As the object moves to the right, out of the frame, the moon is growing larger and moving to the left. Then the moon grows smaller and returns to place as he zooms out. At the same time, the object "streaks" back into the same place it was before it moved. Zoom effect.

Once I have time to break the .wmv into stills I can show the effect pretty clearly. I'll also try to find some of the same zoom levels from early and late in the video and see if the objects are as stationary as they appear, or if there is more relative motion going on.

Well those comments could possibly be from members here who have read Dark Knights threads and posted comments on the video. It could also possibly be that DK may also be posting his warnings on other sites as well.

This is definitely a interesting video. The only thing that throws me off is the branch, im trying to imagine the angle he was at to get a branch in the way if he was ( i presume) looking at a high angle to catch the moon. Unless the moon was low that day, but then youd catch other things int he video as well.

CHECK it out i STABILIZED a lil clip of the video, maybe it can help out a bit.
If you want me to do more of the video let me know.

AND yes i hate the whole tripod thing, LOL, they should give em out free when you buy those damn expensive video cameras.

Or could that be attributed to the zoom of the camera?

If they are at the distance they appear to be, they wouldn't necessarily be visible. Since the camera is shooting at night and seemed to pick up the moon quite brightly, it is compensting for "backlit" conditions. Meaning is amplifying any light source it sees.

Flares can remain suspended for quite a long time. I've seen general illumination flares seem to hang suspended for longer than 9 minutes, and I was much closer to them than these would have been to the camera, based on their apparent size. If they are far enough away, the distance you would see them drop is negligible.

That could also explain the lack of aircraft to drop them being visible. They could have been in the sky behind a cloud for a few minutes before dropping below it and becoming visible.

looks to me like someone shooting the moon across a valley and some houses lighting up, the shooting part is harder to explain but my best guess would be someone with a torch waving it around.

i can't see a hillside, but then i can't see branches for most of it either. if there's ufo's above the moon i don't see them, if their were i'd take this more seriously.

Edit: actually those branches seem to be in the middle/ background, they should be clearly visible in the lightened image if the hillside was going to be, shouldn't they?

Logicaly he meant that he was impressed at the color of the moon and im prety sure he didn't actually mean that he didn't know it was the moon....

Im impress you would think he didn't know what the moon is :0
