Wow! Real good video of a Flying Saucer in Oregon

I'm under the impression that if there are obvious oddities in the film, it leads credence to its authenticity (such as the double appearance of the ufo). It's the hoaxers credence to make hoaxes as visually believable as possible. I mean, you COULD go to the lengthes of intentionally making doubles to make it seem more believable - but do hoaxers realistically go to such lengths?

I think your analysis is good, and actually makes me believe the video is authentic rather than a hoax. Good work dude.

The other thing is that the "UFO" appears too many times "doubled", as in the next image from frame 362. It may be a normal result of the video, but I think it is too pronounced in this one and that is what I find suspicious.

Having said that, I am no video expert.

But......If someone were making a fake, they wouldn't put two images of the 'fake' UFO in one frame would they?? Could this have been caused by the jerky camera work......Any video experts out there??

( And the time I saw something, I ran soooo fast, if I'd had a camera I would have gotten back to the house before it hit the ground!)

PS, Coward......give your poor avatar a chill pill.....he looks stressed out!

frayed,

Thats exactly what I was thinking. Would a hoaxer really go that far to make a forgery even MORE authentic? I don't think so personally. I mean, even without the doubles, it seems authentic enough.

It is not a fake, it is an airplane being filmed from a moving car.

I does not look like an airplane to my eyes. Not a hint of wings or tail.

The truck was bouncing me around and it was hard to keep it on the object and we couldn't pull over because we were working. My husband was with me but he was driving and couldn't see it.

It looks like it was being filmed from the driver's side (left) of the vehicle, perpendicular to the vehicledue to the trees pass from front to back of the truck. Seems that she would have to have filmed it between the driver and dash or out the rear side window (like a crew cab?).

If it was thru the windshield, I would think it would show parts of the truck interior at some point. The wires passing seem to support this view though.
The angle does not seem to be toward the front truck.

it is an airplane being filmed from a moving car.

I dont see this to be an airplane, no hint of common airplane features aka, wings, tail, exaust trails. It also seems to be moving too slow to be a commercial airliner. Looks to be possibly a blimp, but I could not say for certain what it is. As such I will say nice vid of a UFO.

yeah...I would, but he is to scared of pills. Almost everything scares him. The only way to chill him out is to get good non blurry film of a UFO.

Just an observation...

If you look closely as the ufo's being filmed, watch for the powerlines which the video captures, pause the video when the powerlines go right pass the ufo (or try and get frame shots ) it almost looks like the powerlines are behind the ufo, wihch indeed could be a crack in the windshield.
OR CGI, like someone said before, look for a refrence point and the UFO itselt does not stay stuck with the backround.

Not trying to be debunk this video straight away but its not the best iv seen and it kinda reminds me of the old ufo videos which always turned up to be hoax's IE: The Australian UFO wave.
Kind of disapointing really.

LOL....um yeah thats a UFO video alright.

Just to be fair, it does kinda look as though it could be an aircraft in some of the frames. However, other frames make it look as though it couldn't be an aircraft.

Who knows; interesting video though!

I thought it was the Goodyear blimp.

At the very least, it was a shiny object in the sky.

I thought it looked pretty good.
Very interesting.
Other than that, I have no opinion on whether if it was real or not.

It was cool though.

I Call "Blimp"

Of course it may not be a blimp, but it sure looks like one.

As for the suggestion that there aren't any blimps operating in the area, I beg to differ:

www.americanblimp.com...

About American Blimp

ABC is the only organization in the world delivering from the scheduled manufacture of airships. It is a privately held corporation with a strong financial base. ABC has about 45 employees at its Hillsboro, OR headquarters where the airships are designed and constructed in a 2300 m2 (25,000 ft2) facility housing administrative offices and shop space. An additional 280 m2 (3000 ft2) for production is leased in a large airship hangar in Tillamook, OR. The final assembly and flight test is accomplished at an appropriate site near the customer's location. A marketing office for airship applications in government missions and civil aid is located in Severna Park, MD, near Washington, DC.

Quote excerpted, emphasis mine.

Here's a map of Hillsboro, Oregon, American Blimp Headquarters.

Here's a map of Tillamook, Oregon, where a large airship hangar is located.

Here's a map of White City, Oregon, near the siting. Eagle Point is nearby and visible on this map.

Granted, as the blimp flies, it's about 200 miles from ABC headquarters to where the sighting took place, but blimps are known to travel fairly long distances, so it's not impossible. Perhaps it was a blimp headed to or from ABC for servicing or upgrading, and the cheapest way to get it there was by flying it up there. Also, this UFO may be a blimp unrelated to American Blimp, but still a blimp.

Or maybe it's not a blimp. I can't say for sure either way.

However, given that this company most likely tests new products in the vicinity of these facilities (the contact data is on their website if anyone wants to ask), the idea of a silver, blimp-like object appearing in the skies of Western Oregon is not terribly implausible and worth considering as a possible explanation for this sighting.

Nice try... But thats all the way up by Portland..Have you ever been to Medford?? If you had you'd know the chance of it being a blimp is very very slim...

Where Flying Saucers Are More Common Than Blimps

Yes, I've been to and through Medford dozens of times over the past thirty years or so and am quite familiar with the area.

I've never seen a blimp over Medford myself, but the possibility of a blimp (or blimp-like object) over Medford being rare doesn't equate with impossibility. Maybe this has nothing whatsoever to do with American Blimp Corporation.

And again: maybe it's not a blimp.

But I've seen a lot of blimps in my life, and no flying saucers, so given an object that looks a lot like a blimp, I would prefer to rule out blimps before assuming it's saucer.

Unlike the O'Hare sighting, in which the object didn't behave anything like a blimp and which has been described by multiple eyewitnesses, all we have here is some video shot from a moving truck of a blimp-like object that seems to be either hovering or possibly moving very slowly in the sky -- something blimps are known to do.

If you've got a more likely explanation, I'd love to see it.

Well it looks like an unidentified flying object to me. LOL!! Seriously I doubt the blimp theory because of the area..I could be wrong thats just my opinion..I also doubt its an airplane or should I say conventional aircraft..Probably safe to say it's not a kite or a bird either..Weather Balloon?? Doubt that also..I'm not about to say its an alien spacecraft..I guess I'm stuck on unidentified flying object..

Well *I* could be wrong and that's just *my* opinion.

So there.

I've been trying to find some evidence of commercial blimps operating in the Medford area, but am not seeing any evidence of that. There are, however, quite a few hot air balloon companies that operate in the area and give tours of the Rogue River Valley, but this definitely doesn't look anything like that.

The fact that hot air balloons operate in the region suggests that blimps could probably operate safely there too.

It's quite possible this object is not a commercial blimp/balloon at all, but maybe something being tested by some company or The Government.

Don't know, can't say. :shk:

But it still looks like a blimp to me.




[edit on 4/3/2007 by Majic]

Appears to be a blimp or plane to me, I edited a bit and played around with the file on a flv player, and messed looking at the different gradients its still looks like a plane to me.. Who knows?

yea looks genuine allright but still the way it dissapeared exactly when the tree got infront in the camera little strange
but still notin bad to say great find

By the way I have some experience in visual media, as an animator/graphic artist for over 10+ years

well thats good you have experience because so do i and unless you actualy analyze this video with software from my opinion there is no way to tell it is fake just by looking at it.

by calling it a fake with out actualy studying the video is wrong IMO this video here looks geniuine to me but i am not saying it is extraterrestrial, but it does look genuine.
