No, no, with all that whizzing about in the sky it must have been the planet Venus.
Fascinating account there, Mungoman.
That's a great post MungomanII - It's refreshing to hear such a detailed first hand experienceI have seen UFO's and Flying objects that I recognise as non-terrestrial georgeP - unfortunately, too many of those on public media seem to be associated with contemporary technology of the day.
We look at those of the forties and fifties, and too many of them resemble loudspeakers; through the sixties and seventies they resembled something like hub caps, while now they resemble stealth technology.
The UFO's that I've seen have been formations of lights in the skies that move parallel to each other, perform various manoeuvrings, and then shoot off at incredible speed - with uncanny quietness.
The one FO that I experienced started off as a light in the night sky, which became brighter over a period of a couple of minutes. It gained solidity from light into a classic shape of two opposing saucers with a blister, both top and bottom, which soon could be seen as windows on the top blister.
It had a revolving 'waistband' of red and clear lights.
By now, I'd called out to my partner and our daughters, who came outside to watch. It positioned itself about 500 metres away from us over wetlands which enveloped the Tuggerah lakes, at about 50 metres elevation, and was as large as my thumb with arm outstretched - a goodly size. It then produced a cone of light which instantly illuminated itself on the wetlands, moving around as if it was searching for something.
This continued for about ninety seconds, then the light stopped moving and withdrew slowly from the ground, up into the flying object - all in all a classic, cheesy experience - the object then rose up to a height where it's solidity then became nothing but light, maybe five thousand feet, and then the classic exit - incredibly fast, and incredibly without sound. It would have taken less than a second to move across the sky, into nothingness.
At the time, the nineteen eighties, there were many observations over the Central Coast of New South Wales, with people gathering night after night to watch UFO's streaking out of, or over, the sea and then up into the night skies.
One thing I noticed on my observed flying object was that the object didn't rotate - just the 'waistband' of light - the windows kept still on the upper 'blister'.
Just one unreported experience out of a multitude.
The obvious one for starters: that it's a CGI job. Well, if it is then that's an awful lot of effort (and money) to throw away on such a short sequence that so few people will see.
Well then...!? Is nobody going to debunk the video on the O.P? All the remarks so far have been supercilious, or off message: what about the image?
Likewise there are other sites on the web which take particular hard-headed glee in tearing to bits any would-be UFO shot - like worker ants swarming onto a dead sparrow - but I've looked in vain for anything on this.
...
Me too. I felt that there was something odd about the tree, but I didn't look carefully enough.Yup - good find, EnolaGaia. That solves it for me, and explains the tree.
I found the idea that the tree is a CGI job both confusing and unconvincing. Why the need for a CGI tree in the first place ?
There is no way a tree could have exactly the same branch formation repeated three times in different places. There is even a paraedolic 'face' there that can be seen in each instance. Note that one of the repeated branches is the one the 'ufo' passes behind, although it is partly hidden by another fake branch in front.
I must be a bit behind the times on these things. I'd assumed that if you had the skill and means to produce something like this then you could be calling the shots in terms of job opportunities and pay, and hence wouldn't be wasting your time on a skit which you are neither credited for or (presumably) compensated for.
Sadly, yes. Now, anybody can produce really convincing fakes.So it appears that we are already living in a Philip K. Dick world where the `reality` of any image can be automatically doubted (and that would apply to ghost and cryptid shots too). Photos and movies can no longer be called on to produce reliable evidence for anything.
