But when I was young the biggest UFO thing was people seeing the black triangle. It was filmed and photographed many times. It was called a UFO, entire chapters in cheesy old UFO books were filled with it.
The military did nothing to curb these wild claims, but eventually in the late 80s, early 90s they unvieled the new stealth bomber and some admitted to enjoying the UFO cover story to protect the project.

The media immediately labeled this a hoax, well before ATS came to this conclusion.

And to note, you guys are talking about how this is such a hugely publicized event....is it?
Fox News? Space.com? Really?
Lesser UFO sightings get reported by bigger outlets all the time, and you usually have to go on sites like these or read comments to get the real details.

Still, to this very moment in time, the hoax videos are inconsistent and there's a possibility that there is 1 genuine in the mix. So, no, the case is not dead.
Last June posters at the Comic-Con expo directed people to reportthreats.org, a website apparently run by a group called Worldwide Assessment of Threats Concerning Humankind, or WATCH. The website was, of course, part of the promotional campaign for the film. The videos show a circular object descending slowly over the holy city’s iconic Dome of the Rock before flickering and shooting skyward like a rocket. Similar clips have been seen before and debunked as hoaxes. But this latest sighting had been proving more difficult to dismiss — as it was recorded from four different perspectives.
Promoting a movie with effective marketing is one thing; attempting to trick the public is a totally different matter entirely. Surely there will be those who will harbor hard feelings over this type of “media manipulation,” which in turn may translate into a lower turnout at the box office.
