Yea she sure seems to be well educated. Guess some of the pro-bug people are going to take their words back again
Not until there is better video that makes it clear that these are not bugs.
Just because she is an entomologist, doesn't necessarily mean she adept at recognizing bugs in videos.
So despite ALL the publicity and lots of people supposedly heading to the site, we still don't have any better videos (using high frame rates to better capture fast motion).
So if we DO get confirmation these were just bugs, will people stop posting bug videos claiming they are "ultra-hi technology experimental aircraft" or "alien spacecraft"?
Note: Remember the "Roswell Rods"?
Note: At this point, I just think that a "bug explanation" seems likely. (Bugs or something else totally mundane). Always open to the remote possibility someone might someday stumble upon something more interesting.edit on 28-11-2012 by bluestreak53 because: (no reason given)

how many members here were crying out to get an entomologist to look into it because an aviation expert cant claim its not bugs? now we have the entomologist who confirms not bugs! and thats still not good enough for you? the irony
I was curious, so I called Hamilton. She relayed to me that she was shown only a few clips of the objects and was told that they were far away from the camera. So she was going on the idea that these were distant and therefore large objects. Also, the images are very fuzzy—again, consistent with insects seen up close and out of focus—which is why she couldn’t make out any body shape, or wings, or segmentation that would allow her to positively ID them as insects. That’s what she was saying in the clip.
“I did the best I could with what was shown to me,” she told me. And in my opinion, she didn’t have nearly enough information to go on, and some of the info she was given simply wasn’t correct. So in this case, contacting an entomologist did nothing to eliminate the possibility these are insects.

Life's Little Mysteries asked the opinion of Larry Engel, the associate director of American University's Center for Environmental Filmmaking, who has filmed insects both intentionally and inadvertently during his decades of work on science and nature documentaries. "I've spent a lot of time around bugs, whether for a film about mosquitoes, on the upper peninsula of Michigan filming bald eagles, or deep in Amazonian jungles. And they are indeed an issue when filming, especially with wide-angle cameras or small-format cameras, as each emphasizes or records objects, including dust and bugs, close to the lens," Engel wrote in an email, adding that he's resorted to applying bug repellant to a camera's sunshade or enlisting a fan-wielding assistant to prevent insects from crowding a shot. The KDVR UFO segment uses stylized, dramatic editing that seems to discourage objective analysis, and Engel notes that, with only the information available, "determining factually what's going on is nearly impossible." Still, his best guess is bugs. "I would suggest that these do look like insects, flitting about near the camera. But no one on the broadcast reports anything about insects in the field," he said.

Using this video as a reference of known bugs it is fairly obvious that the Denver UFO's are also bugs.
Seriously, they're just bugs.edit on 28-11-2012 by Slave2Fate because: (no reason given)

I do have one question, and I'm certain some legit news media does read ATS:
Q: Why was the anonymous guy filming this area?
It appears random and without notable cause to film this particular residential area.

Obviously a market for R/C helis,quadcopters,R/C blimps in the area or why put a R/c hobby shop nearby, and a good place to fly them, all in spitting distance from the alleged sighting

I can understand that if you're camera-crazy (I was too when I got started).
Though here we are, three weeks later, and nothing. I've read some of the replies and while "bugs" is the predominant popular thought, can we get some FACTS already and close this chapter.
This is Denver, not Mars. If I lived there you can be sure I'd take a day trip to see what's going on - with my camera and I chalk it up to outdoors time.edit on 6-12-2012 by Jason88 because: (no reason given)edit on 6-12-2012 by Jason88 because: (no reason given)

Alright...seeing the bug theory floating around in the thread......don't think so, and this is why.
Watch the video again. Between 1:40-1:50, you can see one, slowed down, pass through a cloud. Later, at around 2:30, you can clearly see that object pass into the trees. In neither case could a bug look that way. So, this isn't bugs.
So my question remains, why no follow up videos?

How did you make the determination that it was passing through a cloud and passing into the trees? It just as easily could be blending in with the background in those moments of the footage.
