Probably the reason the dim light was focused on the alien's head is so that it can be more clearly visible in the video. That's just logical. If you make a video of someone or something you focus on it and center it in the video. Besides, it is clear from the video that the light was not very bright by the dim quality of the video, so it was probably soft enough not to bother the alien.
Of course, if the light had not been focused on the alien's head, the debunkers would have been screaming that it was more evidence that the video is a hoax.

Whitley Streiber says... = I hadn't realized until I saw this how familiar it would be"
" If this is fake, it's really good "
" It's very difficult to watch this... because somebody who made this knows something about the way they move. "
" I hope to God it's a fake. Because if it's not, I'm so ashamed for mankind. "
Whitley Streiber is a best Selling Author ( Communion & recently released "The Grays" )
Quoted during Strange Universe radio show, after being shown the footage for the first time.
Art Bell said this... " In the first half hour, I sensed that... I wasn't satisfied with the quality of answers being given... "
"As the interview progressed, and Viktor to some degree began to relax, I began to get a different sense... and that was he was telling the truth.
I think Viktor was scared. I think Viktor really is scared.... and so my judgment of the interview after about the first half hour, is that we began to get some real information.
It was a significant milestone in broadcasting. "

I don't know how the hell you got this, and I don't know who the hell you got this from, and frankly I don't want to know who you got it from."
The level of classification on this kind of a thing is so far damned above top secret, that you can't even imagine how sensitive this is. And how tightly the government sits on anything like this. "

It really pisses me off that people would hoax such videos. The video was very interresting and it made me certainly wonder, however utlimatly I'm fairly confident it's fake.
Mainly because this "Victor" character wanted money for this, I mean come on, if you're in any way interrested letting the truth out, you won't go and ruin your credibility by asking for money.
Secondly, it strikes me as very convinient that the lighting in the tape is so dark and conceals most of the Alien body. Then there's the convenient excuse that these aliens are sensetive to light. Why would they be so sensetive to light? Especially when it has such big eyes you'd expect the creature to be used to light.
Third, the fact that this alien looks like how we'd expect it to look like makes it even more likely it's a hoax.
I'd love to believe aliens were here, but I just don't see it.

Here we go again with the money issue! Are you really that poor that you can't afford to buy it? Second, do you know anyone from any profession that works for free? You have to understand that ufology, although perhaps a pseudo-science, is just another occupation and people have to make a living! Any reasonable person should not base credibility on this. It is extremely hypocritical!
Originally posted by SocialistAgendaSecond, I think you got your gray theory wrong. Gray eyes are allegedly very good but also extremely sensitive to light therefore dark rooms are much preferable! I am not making things up; this is common knowledge among paranormal researchers! I guess in some ways greys are identical to owls and other nocturnal earth species with respect to light sensitivity.

Third, you said "fact that this alien looks like how we'd expect it to look like makes it even more likely it's a hoax." Sorry, but this makes no sense whatsoever! If your gonna make excuses to call this a hoax at least try harder and make them a bit more convincable!

How is/was this video for sale when it is freely available for download on the internet
Here is the link:alienvideo.net.... This link will take you to the site's main page where you will have to search for it. Don't worry, it's easily findable. If you don't find it do a google search and find an alternative download site!
I was not reffering to this video being for sale in my previous post but was genericaly trying to make a point about charging money and credibility. Another poster was the one that claimed this video was for sale!
As far as I understand, a movie based on this footage was made and that is what was for sale! Please don't distort the facts!
I am not a ufology researcher(at least not officially) but I do like to research this topic whenever I can. I have found a lot of information about ufos and aliens and I also have to say some researchers are more believable than others, however, this does not discredit ufology but rather makes it even stronger! Ask yourself why would disinformation agents bother introducing soo much noise if their was no signal to distort
Ufologists and the rest of the people should understand this and not get fooled! Believing every photo/video is legit is foolish. Believing that all are fakes is just pure moronism! Yes examine and judge but don't expect the government to openly acknowledge anything before you start believing! This is were most people fall in the trap. They think that since Mr. Bush(or any president) ignores the topic then its probably a bunch of stoned looneys with weird "visions". Nothing could be further from the truth!
I will take a look at the sarpa report and comment on it at a later date. Thanks for mentioning the inconsistencies but the majority of paranormal researchers seem to conclude that the greys do indeed have powerful large eyes that are sensitive to light!

Hahahahaa...Just gotta love the hypocrisy in this forum. Some people with little or no knowledge about aliens and ufos are claiming to know more than the researchers. Also, since they are selling videos they are non credible. HAAHAHA

Let me give you a few hints on "credibility" my "honest" friend. Credibility is based on perception and so are facts. Nothing can be absolutely proven if other people do not want to agree with your fact and it will remain an opinion forever and ever! If I say it is night, while in reality it is day, and 99% of the people are stupid enough to believe me then it becomes a fact and I become credible.
cred·i·ble
–adjective
1. capable of being believed; believable: a credible statement.
2. worthy of belief or confidence; trustworthy: a credible witness.
fact
–noun
1. something that actually exists; reality; truth: Your fears have no basis in fact.
2. something known to exist or to have happened: Space travel is now a fact.
3. a truth known by actual experience or observation; something known to be true: Scientists gather facts about plant growth.
4. something said to be true or supposed to have happened: The facts given by the witness are highly questionable.

As you will eventually find out in your life credibility and reality can be miles apart! Unfortunately this the case with ufology as once honorable scientists with masters and Ph.D's can attest to what happened after they left the mainstream world! But don't take my word for it, rather prove it to yourself by doing research!

Wait, you’re telling me I need to believe to get the government to acknowledge the existence of ET’s? I’m sorry, that sounds like a religion, just like Christians need to believe in Jesus Christ in order to ascend to heaven. I’m not going to believe in anything without sufficient evidence.
My default position is that all photos and video’s are hoaxes until proven otherwise beyond a reasonable doubt. So please note that I don’t believe all photos are fake (i.e. belief->faith), I just don’t acknowledge them as real until this has been sufficiently proven!
You’re saying that the majority of paranormal researchers seem to conclude that the greys eyes are indeed sensitive to light. Does it not interest you how they came to this conclusion? Did they study a grey or are they just pulling this crap out of their ass? I’m not interested what the majority says about anything.

Also in regards to you saying "some people with little or no knowledge about aliens and ufos are claiming to know more than the researchers"; if indeed it is true what another poster said about contradicting information from different parties then I'm not surprised. We've never seen a real Grey to study for instance, so who can say the information that is 'publicly' available on them is true/false?
[First I'll show you the dictionary definition of 'credible :-
cred·i·ble
–adjective
1. capable of being believed; believable: a credible statement.
2. worthy of belief or confidence; trustworthy: a credible witness.
Whilst that may fit in with what you said about being 'believed'; a lot of skeptics find it hard to 'believe' certain individuals are credible since a lot of their claims are not backed up by irrefutable and definitive proof. IMO individuals who may lack credibility are ones such as 'Victor' and Stephen Greer. Especially the latter who whilst should be applauded on their venture for disclosure; claim to have hard evidence yet will only release on certain conditions. For that people such as myself take their claims with a pinch of salt, and no witness testimonies are not proof no matter whether they're given by military, scientific or technical (i.e engineers) personnel.
[To say "Nothing can be absolutely proven if other people do not want to agree with your fact" is one of the most ignorant statements I've ever come across. I can prove that human blood is red by cutting someone, I can prove gravity by throwing something in the air, I can prove the grass is green by looking outside etc. That statement borders on moronic and smacks of someone who may use that ethos when encountered with facts/information that are adverse to their own personal views.
Well a scientist or more accurately a physicist (nuclear physicist at that) such as Stanton T. Friedman strikes me as someone credible as he does not swallow up what people say and does check their backgrounds, researches and makes his own conclusions. If people are going to make claims I'd like to see the reasoning and rationale behind it. If they claim to have evidence I'd like to see that evidence to evaluate and examine it for myself.
