The "bugs" would have to be somewhat close to the lens for the camera to even pick them up.... and just like we clearly saw birds in one frame ..... if the bugs were close.... we would be able to see distinct details of flying insects.
edit on 14-11-2012 by dplum517 because: (no reason given)
Assuming that the TV station is not being pranked by the anonymous cameraman, it's not difficult to see how the insects could fool people. It's not necessarily that anyone is stupid or gullible; instead it's an optical illusion created by the camera representing a three-dimensional object in two dimensions.
Cases like this illustrate the difficulty of determining the size of objects when there is nothing nearby to judge scale. The unidentified flying objects can either be interpreted as large and moving very quickly a great distance away, or small, moving more slowly, and close to the camera. The images can look exactly the same.
If you assume that the objects are at a great distance, then they would have to be large, and flying at speeds (and with steering abilities) far beyond anything man-made.
However if you realize that the UFOs look identical to flying insects, the mystery vanishes. And, of course, the FAA tracks aircraft, not insects, which explains why no one saw any trace of them in the skies over Denver.

I love how when an "expert" speaks out and says these objects are indeed UFOs ...... he's suddenly not an expert anymore.... just some guy with an opinion.
But when a legit expert says something that they don't want to hear, they immediately dismiss him and label him as a fringe pseudo-scientist charlatan.

There is no claim whatsoever that these craft emit any kind of sound, and regarding seeing them, is already adressed. And it is not me making this claim, don´t try to bait me into your little trap, kthx.

1: The guy claims he see's a UFO at a certain time each day.
2: Local Denver Fox media sets up a camera, and also captures the object on their film.
3: Aviation expert called in, can not identify.
= Most credible UFO story I have looked at in recent memory. S & F op, thanks for sharing!

Can the entomologists among us explain what types of bugs these may be that are flying around in the mountains in November?? Snarky bug proponents are welcome to chime in too.
The third picture is of another Small Milkweed Bug, 26 November 2008 in Colorado Springs.
