The original poster says on Youtube that it is Steve Vai. Not sure who that is. I thought someone was going to upload the video. Has that been done yet? I would love to see the better version of it.

Sorry if this has been adressed later in the thread, but Steve Vai is an extremely famous, and talented guitarist.
He did all the guitar work in the movie "CrossRoads" with Ralph Macchio(sp?).
That's what we're getting to. The only explanations most of us have come up with is the reflection theory and some kind of software. I wanna atleast shoot down one or the other, and with this daytime footage, I think the reflection theory could be knocked out. And I'm sorry, but how many times has any of us had a one-on-one meeting with someone who took video evidence that was discussed on this site? If you, or someone you know lives in London, then try to meet with him, he'll answer you at the least.

If he is a hoaxer wouldn't he remove all evidence? Sorry but hoaxers are often forthcoming because they've planned things out. The difficulty in deciding if they're genuine or not is meeting them and studying their reactions. That is where a trained investigator, or at least an experienced one is useful. If i were a hoaxer i'd remove any light source i used to create this hoax before i took the pictures you requested.
This footage was poor, as far as i'm aware no one has corroborated the sighting and so i must sy, in a city full of millions that this is a hoax. In London, even at 5am there are a whole host of people awake, if no one else saw this then sorry i must put it down as someone trying it on. The fact that there have been various suggestions as to how you could hoax this on a small budget also lends credibility to the skeptics.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Well, if he did happen to use a piece of glass, then it would have to be just as big or bigger then the frame itself. I don't see any edges of glass. Again, I work with windows for a living. Do you happen to know how heavy glass is? If that window is a decent size, which it looks like a 30/50-30/60, then thats one HEAVY piece of glass(50-80 lbs).
Originally posted by ImaginaryReality1984 If he is a hoaxer, used a separate piece of glass attached to the window frame, used a light source outside of the simple bulb in his room then those pictures won't prove anything at all.
I'm not discarding it yet, although, I need more information to do so.
It won't shoot down anything and there is always the iea that the images are nothing more than reflected lights off of clouds. I however subscribe to the glass reflection idea.

Ok. I've been going through this video for most of the day.
Here are a few of my thoughts... Sorry for the small images but I thought I'd use the original footage through VLC

Has he caught the reflection of the object reflecting on the double glazing of his window?

The camera shake is consistent.

Could this be the actual orientation IF it is 1 solid object?

Could the object have flown AWAY from the observer whilst it's lights extinguished?
Just my thoughts.. I still think it's genuine..

Just thought I'd throw this idea out there too, when the lights take off, as we can see here:

Shouldn't it look more like this?

I've just flipped the image 180 degrees.
If the point of light is moving then the trail should be behind it right?
Or is this just a camera effect?
