It also seems from information gleaned from UFO Updates that dr. Richard Haines has been given access to part of the the video material but was told not to disclose any information. It would be wise to sit back and wait for further information as it seems many qualified people were involved. Richard Haines writes:

Fact is, there probably isnt another 6 vids.
If there were, why release the one with the bug in it?? Why not release the one where you could clearly see an alien spaceship??
Well there are definitely another four (at least) and they were in several formats suggesting that the story is accurate, i.e. separate cameras & photographers, however the circumstances under which they were released to Kean seem a little strange.
Cheers.
So Haines has at least seen and analysed three different videos, which should serve as a warning to "critics' here who insist no such files exist and have not been released to anyone else.
I managed to open and quantify three of the video files and
submitted a confidential summary to CEFAA
I am saying it remains to be seen if the article is accurately representing the astronomer's findings. Kean is not qualified to write about physics and I have no doubt some mistakes were made in composing the article. Barrera seems to be easily found on the internet, why don't you write to him and tell him he is full of nonsense if you are so sure his views are accurately represented? Do tell us his response.

To work in astronomy you usually need at least a BSc Hons degree (first or upper second class) in a subject such as maths, physics, astrophysics or geophysics
.....
Increasingly, employers are preferring candidates with an MSci (Master of Science) or MPhys (Master of Physics) qualification.

But to be an astronomer you don't have to have any knowledge of video and image analysis / forensics.
It's great for astronomers to UFOlogists. But what makes them qualified to do forensic video analysis?

Frame from the second El Bosque video with the F5s showing the heat signature of both the FACH jets and the UFO. (Credit: CEFAA)
Frame from the third El Bosque video showing the F16s and UFO. The official analysis indicated the speed of the UFO was eighteen times faster than the F16s. (Credit: CEFAA)

Actually, the question was always "why an astronomer?" in the context of him doing video and image analysis. You just completely ignored the context.
Being a physicist and astronomer doesn't make you qualified to do image analysis.

We know nothing about the analyses performed and what part he performed in those analyses. We do not know how accurate the description given by Kean is of his involvement and the testing done. In short, you're speculating, with a clear intent to argue that the astronomer was doing pseudo-science and that the whole thing is flim flam. Considering that Kean is no scientist, or at least has no science background, caution is needed when she is describing certain analyses and results. But rather than being cautious, you head on in full steam to prove this is all nonsense. Alas, there is no shred of objectiveness in your attempt to do so.

Perhaps, but what would you expect? A saucer landing?

There is no evidence of the astronomer doing any particular video and image analysis which falls outside his area of expertise, yet. Aside from this pretty obvious point it is also well-known that in astronomy image analysis is a common tool. Photometric data is commonly collected and analysed. So I'd take a step back before claiming the astronomer in question has no qualifications in photometric analysis or other techniques which might be useful in this particular case.

Thank you for clarifying what I meant. That is what I meant, you worded it better, Let me get you in contact with my PR person...edit on March 17th 2012 by greeneyedleo because: (no reason given)
Is this supposed to be a serious argument?
Quite honestly, I'm having trouble accepting that people can write up dumb things.
You understand that any video shot from the ground with of an object high up in the sky is not necessarily going to "clearly [show] an alien space ship", right?
You might also consider that no one is going to release any further videos just because "loves a conspiricy" [sic] from ATS thinks it is all a "conspiricy" . If there is more material, I am sure it will be released in due time.

Your basing your evidence on your opinion of what YOU think it looks like, its all hear say formed from no physical evidence, a blurry video and bias.
But so is everyone else? We have hearsay in the article - no proof any of it is true. We have hearsay about "testimonies from alleged super duper important smart people" and hearsay that there are 7 other videos.
if people want to believe the article as 100% reliable, that is fine. some of us don't, which is fine too.
At this point, everyone is just offering their opinion. there is only ONE piece of evidence to go on. Not the article. Not other videos. the one and only video that has been released. That is where people are getting their "bug theory" from - from watching the one and only video.....until everything else is verified and proved, it is ALL just hearsay and little evidence.

the object is very near the F5, and our study, the heat study, showed the similarity of the F5 with the object, same for the shadow, a very interesting case.

How can you come up with such a definitive answer based on that video?? That thing could literally be anything, it may be a bug, it may be something else. But its certainly not certain what it is.
