What do you think about this Saucer Video?

My gut instinct tells me it's a fake - but then how would I know?

If it's not CGI, then it could be a blimp.

If it's not a blimp or CGI then it's a UFO - in other words, something in the sky that has yet to be identified and will probably remain unidentified.

My money is on CGI.

when i see a video that could be real, honestly what seems to fake them if it is .....is the fact that they dont keep recording till it vanishes?

if i seen one and had a camcorder i would sit there till the battery runs out or the tape......lol...would then have the wifey charging and running to shop for new tapes

I agree, I don't get this when we only see a selected part of the video. Or maybe I should say, "Ohhhh, I get it" because probably there is some clue or apparent fact that makes it a known object. I think it may be a blimp or balloon or something like this. I mean if you were sitting there recording a true UFO don't you think there might be some commentary that indicates excitement or awe??

There is also an amount of "missing time" as you can see the sun shining, and then it has suddenly set. And as it is moving, the film stops before the trees. I'm not buying anything here.

All good points - I was going to mention 'lack of continuity', but didn't for some reason.

The number of these types of videos seem to increase after a particular piece of video editing software was released - can't remember what it's called, but it has a lot of 'plug-ins' that allow you insert one video clip into another and synchronize it with the camera-shake, tweak the lighting and all the other photo-shop type tricks...

...I think most of us accept that photographic and video 'evidence' on it's own has little value now.
