You say it wasn't a meteor.
Well, I don't know about all of the eyewitness accounts, but some have described a green fireball streaking across the sky, and then there is this video:
www.abc15.com...
that shows a green fireball streaking across the sky. This particular sighting looks like a meteor.
People will think whatever they want regardless of your own opinion, so the way you hold on to that video as if it was a make or break thing (which is not) only makes people see you as someone that does not accept an opposite opinion and that will deny other explanations regardless of the amount of evidence presented, and that, in my opinion, is more damaging than thinking the video is a hoax, because it will make people have doubts about what you say, now and in the future, so, doing things as you are doing, you are damaging this case and yourself.

I'll answer that honestly. I don't want it to be because I don't want the events of Sept 14 to be dismissed.
Because once people feel this might be a hoaxed video (which I am honestly, not convinced of) they'll poo-poo the whole evening.
I don't think that will be the case, as this whole case did not appear from a YouTube video but from several witness reports and videos.
And if ONE video is going to ruin it for all the others then I have a problem with that.
I'm looking at this as a possible double event, a meteor and something else.
But like I said, I am looking at this as NOT a meteor event.
I disagree, the OP video shows a white/bright light with two reddish lights, not sparkles, that move away from the white light.
One or two or three of these objects were described as moving very slowly, In fact hovering.
It was further described in some reports as a white/bright light with reddish sparkles. Much like the OP video.
Then stop defending the video as if this case depends on it, it doesn't, and it came from someone that is, apparently, known for things like this.
I am almost sorry I put up that video because the last thing I want to do is defend a hoaxed video which will directly dismiss this (to me) important mass sighting event!

Let's stop with the "it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck.. it's probably a goose."
gift0fpr0phecy has done a very good job figuring out what we're looking at in the OP's video. Let's just call it for what it is, a duck, and get it over with. Ignore your gnawing itch to deny the evidence, we're looking at a duck here folks.
But don't you see that what others think of you affects their perception and the relevance they give to what you say? If you want people to understand your point of view, what they think of you matters.

I appreciate your advice and probably very sound advice at that... but after one has an experience like I have, caring what others think is irrelevant.
Have you ever thought that that change in perspective can happen more than once, and that your present perspective may not be the most correct?
Because I now know everything that I thought was real or was taught, isn't so. Or at least, not accurate. It totally alters ones perspective, makes you question everything while expanding ones acceptance!

Then I supppose I would need to use the phrase that "I believe ETs exist". I think ET life exists elsewhere in the universe, but I also feel that humans have never met or contacted any ETs. When and if that ever happens, then I can say I "know" ETs exist.
Until then, I obviously can't be cannot be 100% sure (maybe 99%, but not 100% until we contact them), so I would need to say "I believe (have faith) that they exist".
No, but I see that you are assuming that I do.

Ar....are you not doing the same thing by assuming that what YOU have said is the REALITY.
Well, I don't think like that, I do not believe in anything just because I "feel" it to be true, I just give different "weights" to different possibilities, according to what I think, based on the information that I have gathered. As far as I know, my feelings are not representative of the truth.
There is a difference in say....placing belief in GOD because a person feels this to be true....as apposed to placing belief if RELIGION....that has it's truth dictated by MANS OPINION.

Could you tell us more about it? Was it fast or slow? Was it flying in a straight line?
Thanks in advance.

Now we have an ATS eye witness account, which may change the dynamics of this situation.
Can you be more descriptive?
