Fox reporter physically shapeshifting on camera (video)

I m assuming that you are assuming that this is in fact a total hoax? please leave any reasons or sustaining evidence at the sound of the bell.

Good night UK, morning USA. As per your request here's my humble opinion. My credentials? PhD Electrical and Electronic Engineering. 4 Years working in the Sensing, Imaging and Signal Processing group from the University of Manchester.
The phenomenon is nothing else but an error in the encoding/decoding of the video. It is a common problem and it has absolutely nothing to do with shape-shifting. Encoding/decoding of images and video is done mathematically and of course are subject to these sort of errors. Some of the encoding algorithms are based on the identification of patterns in the signals/data. For instance, a very simple encoding problem that you can try in your own computer is this: Open Notepad and write the following without the quotes "Bush hid the facts" and finally save it with whatever name you want. Close the file and open it again. You will be surprised of what you see. Some people (like the ones that insist on shape-shifting) will shout "OMG, Conspiracy! Bill Gates and Bush! OMG!". For those who know this is a simple encoding error present because the phrase has 4-3-3-5 characters which correspond to a different encoder.
I do believe in aliens/ufos and the possibility of reptilians but you guys, you made me laugh. This thread was (sorry mod) absolutely stupid.
I hope you think twice before saying "shape-shifting! OMG OMG". Honestly people: THINK... THEN BE.

Cheerio

PD. Geez! Are you idiots? THINK! Stop posting this rubbish!

Didn't you already type this exact same post? Why are you doing it again?

I like the encoder post (I really do!) ; but I have really and simply become too paranoid to actually attempt his suggestions. I find it difficult to believe that the aforementioned encoders would so similiar so as to effect meaningful differential relations between encoders (which would apparently effect reptilian transformations lol) ; unless (and this is entirely possible... ... ... ) different encoders are actually based upon the originating formulae ... which came from where? any answers are possible here peeples...

I would lose my mind if their weren't people like this putting forth some stability. You can believe this guy and his credentials saying it's a glitch, or you can believe lizard people have the ability to project images of humans to report low end news about 9/11 memorials..

This reality some of you are living in is detrimental to our credibility. There are important things going on all around the world and you're wasting energy on baseless, and illogical conspiracy theories while there are meaningful causes you could be taking up or drawing attention to, such as the issue in Burma.

Let's all move out of our grandma's basement and work together on the situations effecting humanity. Please.

exactly just beacause you saw the magician pull the rabbit out the hat don't necessarily mean its real!

Some very interesting responses! I enjoy them immensely! But I do not find any direct response to my questions/ing. Please explain to me how random filters/encoders are able to very effectively simulate a 3D rotation of crazy lizardbrows in realtime. EITHER a complete hoax OR we got some crazy goingons is my point, which hasn't been spoken to at this point.

if you pay careful attention to when this guy is moving his head off screen; the apparent ridges and such which look and feel like distortion, oddly enough, DO NOT GO AWAY as they should with random digital distortion (why should it care?)

I have already answered this, please go back and read the post. You are assuming this is "random digital distortion", it's not, it is a well known color tracking glitch.

I have never seen a random digital distortion that simulated , accurately and realistically, a 3D consistent disposition that tracked accurately through multiple frames.

Then you haven't seen enough compressed footage. We see this time and time again in Hollywood, and is one of the reasons we don't view color critical shots that are compressed due to the tracking artifacts and other glitches. Also, in reality it's not that accurate of a track either, if you look close enough you can see it moves around on it's own in spots as well.

This simply cannot happen by accident.

Not on accident no, it's a bug in an algorithm.

If you believe that, then I have a copy of War and Peace typed out by 100 monkeys.

Can you have them sign it for me? I would like to put it on E-bay.

It is either a total hoax, or there is something very wrong with our erstwhile reporter.

Please check back in the thread as the *original* video was posted that does not in fact have the compression glitch that appears once the video has been uploaded to youtube. It is neither a hoax nor anything at all wrong with the reporter OR the girl.

I am not sure as to which post you are referring to; my point seems fairly obvious and may actually warrant actually re-typing. I have tried to go back to the original footage, but, oddly enough, it is gone. However, I did view this thread when it first appeared, so, have no fears. I first noticed this anomaly of the ridges substantially maintaining themselves in a fully 3D environment a couple of days ago. I am still very curious as to the co-incidence of two fully independent encoder codes allowing the "apparent" simulation of an accidental brow ridges in COLOUR 3D.

If the video artifacts or anomalies are caused by bits and bytes and errors in encoding and not by a shapeshifting alien, then there should exist some other examples, not only similar, but exactly like what was seen in the (missing) video.

I'm not saying that I believe the reporter was a shapeshifter or not, just playing devils advocate and wanting to see other examples of a face tracking glitch/errors in the video, ones that track the face or body or whatever. If this is a common or even not so common error, then with the bulk of video shot in the past 1 year alone, there should exist this type of error example.

If anyone can produce that example(s), it would surely serve to convince the people wanting to find answers. I think this approach is best when dealing with unexplained, mysterious etc events.

there is another one. here: www.youtube.com...
similar glitches, same green and yellow neck, although more pronounced anomalies, similar ridges on forehead, although not along browline.

Nice find undo!

That closes it in my book. Pretty uncanny similar effects seen in this vid as well. Green neck, cheeks even. Similar effects with the ridges and waviness in the face as well.

Keep looking, but in any case nice post OP, nice followup undo...

No one has come up with a BS explanation for why they removed the video with the title reptilian but didn't remove the video that was orignally posted 4 days before. I would like to hear your explanation, will lighting be involved? lol

reply to post by CanadianVandal


The video was removed due to terms of use violations, a standard statement by utube meaning that the copyright owners yanked it. Most likely due to the reason that they don't want false or speculative titling attributed to their news report video(s).

Lets say that I upload a clip from fox of some random car chase, instead of titling it properly, i title it with "Car chase ends when aliens come down from the sky and kill the cars engine" (if that even fits in utubes title block that is...)

Fox may not pull the properly titled news report, but the improper one (or speculative one, however you wanna look at it), if seen, would most likely be pulled...makes sense to me-but maybe not you eh?

So your saying they removed only the one with the reptilian title because they didn't want speculation...........almost as good as your lighting excuse.

err re-read my answer...

...and what lighting excuse 'pray tell' are you referring to...made by me?

The video posted by undo certainly seems pretty darn close to the original video posted...to me anyway...logically looking at and comparing it. Do you want to be spoon fed your answers to your questions your whole life, or should you look around for yourself?

If thats not a satisfactory answer for you, I'm afraid you may need to look elsewhere for your answers... www.endoftheinternet.com...

Please wake up, how much evidence do you need? They removed it because he is really shape-shifting. If they were removing videos for not following the policy they would of removed the video that was posted 4 days before.
WAKE UP!

Sorry, I like to keep an open mind on these things, but the evidence supplied for it being shapeshifting is SHAKY as opposed to the evidence against it being shapeshifting.

Why do people LATCH onto an idea so rigidly and vehemently, grasp so tightly a concept or theory as to make it become their cherished pet almost, that they defend it to the bitter end, regardless of the evidence supplied.

Show me some evidence that isnt bits and bytes glitches or pixelated supposed slit-eyes as seen in other videos and make me a believer.

[edit on 10/3/2007 by greatlakes]

Obviously you don't keep an open mind if you don't think its strange that youtube would censor the video with the reptilian title but leave the original one that was posted 4 days earlier.

What are you talking about, your clueless. We don't latch on to it and treat it like a cherished pet. I find it absolutely sick you would say that, we wish with all of our hearts that it is not real. But it is and we can't ignore it. You won't be able to for much longer either.

EDIT
It is not the quality of evidence that matters, it is your belief system. I could have a video in HD of a reptilian shape shifting and you would deny it as a hoax or CGI. The point is you won't accept it until they reveal themselves. But by then it will be to late to save yourself.

Yes I do need saving (as we all do) from local and state news reporters and stations. But heck I don't watch that trash anyways, lots of brainwashing with traditional sources of news...Maybe you should cut back on it somewhat yourself huh?

EDIT: Oh and BTW, how do you explain undo's posted video of a similar glitch and green neck syndrome on that reporter, is he too a reptilian that couldn't control his shapeshifting? Just curious.
