Bigfoot Sightings

YouTube Preview Image

This youtube video depicts many of the more common bigfoot photographs that have surfaces over the years. As stated by the contributor, the background audio track is a recording of strange encounters (supposedly bigfoot related) in Ohio.

Nothing too out of the ordinary here, but I thought it was a semi-interesting video.

Roswell Incident – The Roswell UFO. Were Aliens in Roswell, New Mexico?

Introduction
The Roswell incident is arguably the single most identifiable UFO related story in U.S. history. Any self-respecting UFO junkie worth his/her weight is familiar with the Roswell story on at least some level. For those that aren’t, this article should at the very least catch you up to speed on the basics. For those who are, please read on, as I have a few points that I would love to hear your feedback on. Think the UFO interpretation of the Roswell incident is nothing but a bunch of hogwash? Well we’d love to have your input as well. Post a response below and let us know why you think what you think.

I personally believe that there is something to this story. I’ll go ahead and get that out of the way right up front. Throughout the article I will pose some of the most popular questions that debunkers bring to light, and provide my own response(s) to them.

Once upon a time near Roswell, New Mexico
This whole story begins with a local rancher named Mac Brazell. In early July, 1974, Mr. Brazell heard a loud explosion during the night. Mr. brazel was a ranch foreman on the J.B. Foster sheep ranch, which was located some 70 miles north of Roswell, New Mexico. The next day Mr. Mack BrazelBrazel discovered some strange, metallic debris scattered throughout one of the pastures on the ranch. There does not seem to be any dispute over this fact of the Roswell incident. Mac Brazel did indeed discover some type of crash debris in one of the pastures of the Foster Ranch. What is in dispute, however, is where the crash debris originated:

A) Some believe the crash debris represent the remains of a crashed flying saucer which was not of this world

B) Some believe the crash debris came from some sort of secret militray project

On or around the morning of Sunday, July 6th, Mr. Brazel, while further investigating about 2 miles east of the original debris field, makes a second, and even more unbelievable discovery. Three small humanoid bodies lay before him, along with further wreckage similar to that he had already discovered. All of the humanoid creatures are dead at the time they are discovered by Brazel.

As the story line goes, Mac Brazel then reported his findings to Chaves County Sheriff George Wilcox. Wilcox in turn contacted the Roswell Roswell Daily RecordArmy Air Field and informed them of the discovery. This brings another major character of the Roswell incident into play. The military base intelligence officer who initially handled the case was Major Jesse Marcel. This is the gentleman who originally reported that the military had indeed recovered a crashed disc.

The Military Response
Major Jesse Marcel meets with sheriff Wilcox and Brazel, and Brazel brings him directly to the crash site so that he can view the wreckage firstMajor Jesse Marcel hand. After confirming the existence of the wreckage, the military moves in and blocks access to highways that could be used to access the crash site. All wreckage is cleaned up and confiscated by the military. There are many rumors among first hand eye witnesses of dead and injured alien bodies at the wreckage site(s)…even some of a living alien being up and walking around under its own power.

A press release is given to local Roswell radio stations and newspapers that the Roswell Army Air Field had captured a downed flying saucer in the Roswell region. This press release was submitted by Lt. Walter Haut. The key factor here is that the military themselves issued a press release of a captured flying disc!

The debris from the Roswell incident is completely removed, and the Army then releases a story claiming that the entire thing was caused by a weather balloon. Yup – a weather balloon.

Over the years from then to now, the military changed the story several times.

Incredible Changing Shapes Morphing UFO

YouTube Preview Image

Wow! Well, how does a person go about describing this one? This is a truly strange looking video. The video seems to depict a strange, billowy, puffy, non-symmetrical object that dynamically changes shapes and seems to morph from one object into another. Truly a strange sight indeed. So, again, how would we go about describing what we are looking at when we view this strange Morphing UFO? I’m not really sure – but maybe we can at least gain a little more insight by examining some of the characteristics of the video itself.

Many times, when we see something so unbelievably foreign and unreal, we are much more likely to write it off as a hoax, mechanical malfunction of some sort, etc.. Many times that is exactly the case as well. I’m not discounting the possibility that this could be hoaxed, but I think there are a few things that lend it credibility. Let’s examine briefly below:

  • The cameraman very clearly captures a portion of a TV antenna in the foreground during one of the clips. This allows us to see that the morphing ufo object thingy, if indeed real, is pretty high up in the sky, and certainly not something that could be “floated on a string” in front of the camera.
  • The video was presented by Mr. Jaime Maussan at a UFO conference at which he was speaking. Mr Maussan is extremely popular in Mexico, and is known for his many years of UFO-related journalism. If he believes the morphing UFO video is authentic, then it does indeed lend some credibility to it. Any time you have a publicly popular figure such as Mr. Maussan making a claim which many people will see, that means there will be that many more people out there that would love nothing more than to disprove him. Rest assured he is aware of this fact. and he probably works that much harder to authenticate a person’s claim before associating his name with it.

I have absolutely no idea what this thing is, but it certainly grabbed my attention!

Venus or UFO Video

YouTube Preview Image

The above video was submitted by a youtube user recently. As indicated by the title, the user is questioning whether or not this is authentic ufo video footage or simply the planet Venus. Here are a few thoughts that come to mind when I view this video (in no particular order):

  • Where is the introductory explanation? When asking a question as weighty as whether this is the planet Venus or a UFO, I as a user would like to be given a little background about the video. Did you take the video yourself? If not, where did you obtain it? Under what circumstances? Is the fact that it was shot in Los Angeles all that is known about the origins of this video?
  • Almost the entire video was shot at high zoom: Ok – there are two trains of thought here. On the one hand, if I am truly seeing something that I think is extraordinary, I might be more likely to want to zoom in as close as possible to the object. On the other hand, if trying to answer the question “Venus or UFO”, it would have been nice if more of the video were shot without zoom. Were this the case, we would be able to get a much better idea of the scale, true size, and relative position of the object in the sky.
  • Rock-stead hand at high zoom level: One other thing you may or may have noticed. If you have ever attempted to film something that is very far away by utilizing an extremely high amount of zoom, then you know that it’s extremely difficult to keep the camera steady. Notice how steady the UFO/Planet Venus appears to be in the video frame at the highest zoom levels? It would appear that this “UFO” was shot with the aid of a tripod. Of course, the shot could have also been steadied by balancing the camera on a fence, large rock, or anything else that was handy at the time. But again, without a better view of the immediate surroundings, it’s hard to say.

-
This video is somewhat interesting, but I just don’t think it nearly compelling enough to mark it as being a true UFO. I’m not even sure we can call it Venus for that matter. Throughout most of the video, at those high zoom levels, it could have just as easily been the moon : ).

Nick Wilty’s Arabia UFO – Hoax? Fake?

Nick Wilty Arabia UFOWell folks, sadly I must say….I’m afraid so. For a brief few days, this video really seemed like the “real thing”. The article UFO Over Arabia is proof enough of that. But, alas, I just came across a site that has let the proverbial air out of my sails. When it comes to anything related to the web, one thing is for sure. Stories start fast, and spread even faster. In the blink of an eyeball, a video can spread from the California to Tokyo, and there aren’t exactly any “information integrity” cops out there policing content to ensure that it’s legitimate.

This is what I have (somewhat) confirmed:

  • Comedian Nick Wilty WAS in the United Arab Emirates on the date he claims.
  • He did film something that at first seems very strange and unexplained while at the Ibn Battuta shopping mall in Dubai.
  • What he filmed apparently was NOT several genuine UFO’s over the skies of Arabia.
  • What he (apparently) DID film were light fixtures.

Getting curious? So did I…Light Fixtures?!?? Here’s the long and short of it. In the Ibn Battuta shopping mall of Dubai, there are apparently several areas INSIDE the mall in which the ceiling is dolled up to mimic a pretty realistic blue sky. From what I’ve read, Nick Milty’s “UFO” footage was apparently nothing more than some of these aforementioned light fixtures…some in a semi-working lighted state, others not. It’s can be extremely deceiving, as most people would not view the video from the perspective of it being indoors, with a fake sky.Here are a couple of videos to chew on that seem to back up this theory:

1.) A youtube video which gives a brief explanation of how the video was made:

2.) Still not convinced that Nick Wilty’s video is a hoax? Well, how about some testimony from the proverbial horse’s mouth?

Full credit goes to FreedomVideo.Org for the second video. If you’d like to view their video footage, and read more about the fake video, give them a visit by clicking here.

So, in summation, it looks like it was fake..Nick Wilty was able to pull the wool over the eyes of many I’m sure. I must admit I was pretty disappointed to find out this was a hoax, but that will teach us not to take what we’re handed blindly, without questioning!

Bigfoot Sighting by Clynn Josephson

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1425421854899422739
This video documents the alleged sighting of a bigfoot type creature by Clynn Josephson. Clynn and his group, while in the woods of southeastern Idaho, first heard a piercing, non-human shriek. Upon further investigation of the area, they noted that several heavy wooden logs had been laid out side by side. This was clearly not a pattern that could have happened by random chance or mother nature.

One of the members of Josephson’s group then spotted something, a creature, that he believed to be bigfoot. While they came away with no clear discernible bigfoot photos or video footage of the creature, those conducting the interview seemed to be genuinely impressed with Josephson’s apparent sincerity.

Fake Video of UFO Crop Circles

YouTube Preview Image
Crop Circles have inspired awe and wonder all around the world. Every now and again, however, we have to remind ourselves that not every picture or video we see, regardless of how spectacular it may be, can necessarily be believed. The above youtube video posting is a perfect example of this.

The apparently extraordinary crop circle footage you see above appears to show some strange unidentified flying objects creating a crop circle right before the cameraman’s eyes. In fact, the entire video was a hoax. The user that submitted the video to youtube engaged in some creative editing, and conveniently cut out the portion of the documentary where they explain that the whole thing was faked by the creator of the video.

I am by no means saying that I believe that all crop circle theories (pertaining to extraterrestrial sources) are bunk. Neither am I saying that the countless pictures of crop circles on the Internet are all faked, or that the entire history of crop circles is filled with one fraudulent testimony after another. I actually believe that there COULD be something rather extraordinary going on concerning the formation of crop circles. It is an established fact that many of them are created by “Crop Circle Artists”. This has been well documented. I’m just saying that I dont’ necessarily believe that ALL of them are created in such a fashion.

This video is a good example of the fact that we should always keep our eyes and ears open for junk testimonials….and in this case, if a crop circle appears to be too good to be true, that’s because it is!

Cape of Good Hope UFO

YouTube Preview Image
Ok here’s one of those that is obviously one or the other. It’s either a fake ufo video or it is indeed video footage of a true UFO hanging in the skies over the Cape of Good Hope. It is not swamp gas. It is not the sun reflecting off of a cloud at high altitude. It is not a flock of geese (or in this case, a single goose).

This is either:

A.) A clearly definable, metallic, disc-shaped object hovering over the Cape of Good Hope. An phenomena that to our currently understood levels of technology is unexplainable, and truly defies explanation.

OR

B.) It’s a fake.

Take a look and make up your own mind. To me personally, this one just seems too “perfect”. But, nevertheless, I get a little pumped up watching this one!

UFO Over Arabia

YouTube Preview Image



UPDATE! This one’s a fake folks >: (. Everything is explained in the article, Nick Wilty’s UFO Over Arabia a Fake?

The above video was taken by Nick Wilty over the United Arab Emirates on November 22, 2007. This footage is quite compelling. The video footage shows several unidentified flying objects floating in the sky during a thunderstorm. At one point, when the camera pans out, you can clearly see the eave of a rooftop in the forground, and 4-5 objects floating in the sky in the background.

Some of the objects have an eerie translucent orange glow surrounding them, while others are clearly displayed as what appears to be some sort of saucer shaped, metallic disc. The rain and thunder is clearly audible on the recording. However, there is no identifiable audible source that explains what might be holding the objects up in the sky (assuming they are real objects and not faked).

This one looks pretty compelling to me!
