NASA add to UFO sightings

reply to post by Phage


Where is your second quote from Phage? It isn't from the source above it.

Scrap that just found it on the ITN page...

Klaus, have you considered changing your name to "Holmes" ?

I think you just might have hit the nail on the head, not forgetting internos' contribution! Good work guys

Re the Indian footage - It's certainly not meteors! Or at least nothing like any of the meteors if seen or heard of before. Lanterns or flares perhaps ? A flare might explain the one that suddenly drops... the chute failed perhaps... Edit to add -"Earth Lights" would be ano ther good possibility I think too.

Other than that, I'm as stumped as NASA on that one.

Nasa joins UFO sighting craze

I had to rub my eyes and reread that. I wasn't sure I read that correctly. About darn time NASA takes interest in the UFO phenomenon! Maybe NASA scientists will start to come out more and more.... and... maybe tell the truth! I'll accept any half-truths

I find it a possible explanation, and of course would make way more sense than a deliberate deceit. Regarding the Indian footage, it was discussed more than once here:

UFO'S South India, Cell Phone, You Tube (circa '07)

Caino's Video: Annaikatti, Videoby:Sanjana Soman

Incredible UFO footage from India

I don't recall to have ever seen some conclusive explanation, and personally i'm unable to provide one: of course the quality of the video is too bad. The lights seem to be consistent also with the so called Earth lights, but they may be consistent with many other things: i really have no clue what they could be.

Especially now Phage pointed out that glaring error in the first paragraph of text I'm inclined to go with journalistic error rather than secret shuttle flights.

I don't really think the Indian one is lanterns, and I don't know why lanterns have become so popular for solving all UFOs on ATS at the moment. The lights are all different colours but I just don't see anyone going to that length of effort to create a hoax seeing as there are far simpler ways (blurry lights on camera) I feel that one is quite genuine.

One thing that bugs me about the Mexican sighting is that I don't see the fun in setting an RC plan on fire and flying it around the sky especially in Mexico and again why someone would go to such lengths to create a hoax, now if it was shot at a university campus and there was geeky kids snickering in the background then yes but it wasn't. Also there is the sudden appearance of the second light, it doesn't even fly into shot and hovers there rather than moving.

All in all I think these are rather interesting examples of UFOs.

Just had a look at the links internos gave for the Indian sightings and many people suggest they could be flares and yes they do have many flare like characteristics. The only thing that bugs me is that they aren't all of the same colour which you would expect, especially if they were all from the same batch of chemicals that made them and it would be likely they were as they were being used at the same time so must have come from a common source and no one buys one random flare from 8 boxes of flares.

-Klaus- i don't know what is the mexican footage you are referring to:
but the description seems to fit fit the Piracicaba, Brazil ufo (2007) Could it be that one? I recall that it turned out to be a Guy with a paraglider, Mauro Escolano, a specialist in night launches with paragliders: but i'm not sure if you are referring to that one

It is the the section of film between 15 and 40 seconds on the ITN clip you gave on the first page. It definetly isn't the same as the footage from the new thread you gave me and ITN do source it as being from Mexico. Although as we know we can't trust them to get the date of a shuttle launch right but they did source the second clip being from India which is correct.

Ah, thank you for the clarification.
Well, at least we have some chances over 100 that they are right with that one
I'll try to find out more about it: was it discussed here?

This is pretty cool stuff. When multiple eye witnesses get involved, with pictures and all it gets interesting. Nasa involved now? That's basically unheard of. The objects in the photo remind me of something I seen yesterday, I passed it off as a chinese lantern, thinking that it was November 5th and people were letting of fireworks and all. An bright flickering orange glow drifting slowly overhead and gradually dwindled.

Perhaps you just have to be Indian (or Brazilian)...

They don't actually set the aircraft on fire. A few feet of steel cable would be enough to stop the aircraft from suffering any damage.

It's a pretty well documented "hoax" here on ATS anyway (there's a fair bit of similar footage floating around if you look) - I'm sure someone will have seen the footage before and will provide a link to it hopefully so we can have a longer look!

I had a look for similar vids, but only found the original classic footage (which I think sparked this new craze off!): www.disclose.tv...

hmm you know this sudden disclose in the uk makes me uneasy, can't keep thinking about blue beam. I would rather have the disclosure made by real ufo stationned all around the globe than a slow disclosure by the NASA. The fact that the information is being released in the UK, home of the elite makes that feeling worst... Just hope this is more from the people that just had it with the elite and want the world to progress.

OK, the video from Mexico looks to be this one:

UFO spotted 1/26/08


In the video, they are talking in spanish:
a comment to the video reads:

They are skydivers, here's what they say on the video :

Look up up!! the other day they did the same, its the parachute look up. They are identyfing themselves to avoid that an airplane goes for them. There goes the plane from which they jumped. Look look look!!! there`s the other one!!! They are parachuters

www.youtube.com...

and in according to very limited knowledge of spanish, the translation is correct: hopefully, some spanish speaking member will confirm it

yes they do look like parachutes, the fact they are both moving like parachutes and only going down, fits very well. and you can see the outline is like a parachute.

they must of had some sort of light on the inside of them though.

you can see in these video's they wear clothing that has illuminous patches, it looks simular to what we see in the 'u.f.o' video for a brief period, where it looks like something is trailing of the 'u.f.o'.

i cannot find an example of lights inside the inner part of the parachute, but i did find this video with skydivers wearing head gear with lights on.

it's not every day that NASA turn round and report ufo sightings, this makes me suspicious because ufo sightings have been reported a lot recently. What are they preparing us for?

Good work internos,

That's the one

So, who's going to tell NASA?
