I wouldn't be surprised if this turns out to be some sort of viral marketing. Also, all of the palm trees look surprisingly identical.

Well actually there ain't much variation in palm trees...they do tend to look very much alike. BUT no way that I believe this to be real.

If this were a genuine video, it would have been THE top story, "We interrupt this program for a Special Report, war in Iraq? What's that? I'm watching the space ships" type of news article.

I CANT BELIEVE THIS... THAT'S AS REAL LOOKING AS IT GETS!!! Of COURSE they wont tell you! How blind can people be!??! What, does ET himself half to stick his glowing finger up people's asses to realize this stuff is REAL and the people in charge are covering it up?! WAKE UP!! LOOOOOOK at it! I am STYMIED by such well trained disbelief.
"I won't believe my own eyes if the government/media doesn't confirm what I see."
"I want footage Where's the footage? If this was all real we'd have video."

Well we DO and HAVE had it and it's 'fake'. Whatever, man!

NM... go back to sleep. All is well.

*slits wrists*

I'm gonna go out on a quite short, sturdy and well supported limb and say that this is part of the campaign for "Cloverfield"

awww, DrN, you know I love you. And, I do not base what I believe on what the gov't tells me either.

I think its fake but really fun to watch.


More footage from the same reel showing different angle and two other fine examples of sfx artistry.



The Cloverfield trailer, a U.S. version of The Host?

Thx TM... sorry for the flame all, but TM and I were JUST discussing the fact that people will dismiss even the most compelling evidence if it threatens to pop a hole in their reality tunnel. I came here again to post as more pro-proof, the links that Turtle posted as con. Goes to shows...

PS: Whats his name from Lost has a larger budget by far than unknowns in Haiti... so the whole,
"Look, here's the movie Capricorn One that shows how a landing on another body in our system (Mars) can be faked, hence we MUST have never been to the moon", argument has illogic written all over it. Just because it CAN be faked (with gobs and gobs of $), doesn't mean it IS...
And per the "all over the media if true" argument goes, In other places like Haiti, Brazil, China, this IS all over the media all the time and taken very seriously and reported as real news. Just because in the US, it's made fun of and hidden by the media, doesn't mean so in the rest of the globe.

I found the O'hare airport UFO to be very compelling, myself. Naturally, as always, it was yuk yuked about, discounted (although employees were not allowed to discuss it) and the hole it punched in the clouds that day when it zipped off that left a circle was attributed to a weather phenomenon. Ah, gotta love the weather, we can blame so much on it.

Someday, DrN we will get our "told you so" moment, but as in UFO's and govt conspiracies, but I wish people would just listen and think for themselves now and not be so quick to believe the powers that be so quickly. (not in reference to anyone here....just my thoughts on the population in general)

Can't believe I'm coming in so late on this one. I've seen a couple of UFOs before (there's a plime forum thread about UFO experiences started by BrownTrout somewhere on here).

This video, however, was unconvincing. Looked very much an outcome of special effects and CGI manipulation. The video was far too clear, and the gasp at the beginning sounded forced. At the end of the video we see how many lights in the sky? How could she possibly have pointed her camera in that direction not expecting to see one pass over head?

This is a fake, in my opinion. Looked cool, but a fake.
