When can I see bats?
Bats like to come out to eat at night around dusk. Bats flight pattern is much more erratic than birds so look for this pattern.

awesome footage,ufo's in my eyes.
there is no way a bat can fly that fast and the object moves nothing like a bat.
can't ppl just accept that mabye there are ufo's out there?
also why would there be three lone bats cruising around at that altitude looking for insects?
almost all the bat footage i see has large groups of bats. why would these 3 be trying to find insects up in the freakin stratosphere??
i think you guys need better alternative theories than bats.

Just because I don't believe this to be a UFO, does not mean I don't believe in them. Where did you come to that conclusion that I or others do not believe UFO's exist if we do not believe this to be one?
As for how many bats are expected to fly in groups.. what makes you believe they only fly in mass? I've seen a single bat fly around and I've seen 3 to 4 where I live.
Its ok.. your grasping to believe and feel your part of something bigger thinking this can get you closer to what you believe to be absolute without any real tangible research. Well good on you and hope it brings you closer to your answers and beliefs.

i came to no conclusion, i never stated that if u don't believe this to be a UFO then you can't believe any other footage. i am just putting it out there because of # posts declaring it's bird's or bats.
so you have seen single bats or small numbers of bats flying this high??and this speed. a bat cannot accelerate like that.prove it. then i will consider the bat theory.
grasping to believe i'm part of something bigger?? such as? where is your tangible evidence this is a bat? there is no tangible evidence for sighting a UFO unless they stop by to let me get some pic's, its all speculation.

Of course he's adamant that the video is not about bats. Who would watch a YouTube video titled: "Bats over Niagara Falls!!! Must see!!!"? Well, Phage obviously, but no-one else. On the other hand, "UFOs over Niagara Falls!!!" Now that collects some hits.
Yes, that was more or less what I was implying, and you're right, I shouldn't be so restrictive in the possible solutions for this (or any other) case.

What you seem to be saying though - or so it appears to me - is that ETs must be known to exist before they can be used as an explanation. I think such an argument is seriously flawed and fallacious.

Looks too much like some sort of bird to me, as already stated

Proposing an extra-terrestrial explanation for something we see on Earth is still a valid possibility, but one I think should be considered less likely to be the right one when compared with those for which there is no need to leave this planet.
Only when we cannot find an earthly solution should we look for unearthly ones. Yes, we could be wrong in trying first to find an earthly explanation, but I think that's a small risk.

I don't agree. Bats or birds can be tried as an explanation but not ETs. Why? We haven't got a confirmed ET case that we can compare it to. ETs are just speculation at this point.
