Default June 24, 2011 - UFOs over London?

I saw this on a news site (bourque). There are 3 more videos on youtube from different angles. What do you guys think?

The flying white things are probably the same as the flying black things, but at an altituted where they catch the sun.

I'd like to see a poll in here on how many people believe in UFOs and how many don't.

Since you can't say it on the youtube channel, its fake and gay.

I believe in unidentified things, I just don't think they are aliens; if intelligent life came all this way, they wouldn't be this silly.

Yeah but the mods are part of the conspiracy to deny the existence of Aliens, so good luck with that!

Why does everyone always assume Aliens always make intelligent human based thinking decisions anyways? Maybe they fly patterns up in the sky for reasons we would never understand, or "get". Maybe its a cultural ritual of sorts. If they have cultures.

Wow, that was pretty impressive. If it was effects or real UFO.

If it is a real UFO I wonder what kind of tech it is, human or other-world.

I do believe in Aliens and I do believe they are frequent visitors here on earth, but a ufo is just a ufo until it is proven otherwise.

This shot is not like the one we saw a year ago with the ufo above the centre of a city and sky rockets into space. That one had three different angles but made me chuckle. I could make it quite easy. This one is a bit different.

Some sort of viral marketing thing for the song "This is the Life" by Jamie King?



Not sure why, but the sign seems kind of conspicuous.

Maybe its a bunch of punk kid aliens doing their own version of illegal street racing?

I dunno. Ever since I heard about the discovery of Gliese 581g, which is in the goldilocks zone and is only a mere 20.5 light years away, nothing surprises me anymore.

Who knows, even astrophysicists admit there may be lots of earth like planets in our galaxy, some of which may be closer than 20.5 light years.

It wouldn't really be that difficult to fake. It's just some white dots flying around the sky. Using a program like Adobe After Effects, you can easily track hand held footage to superimpose objects that look like they were there when it was shot.

Check this out, to see how easy it is: http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorial/magic_tracking/

It says that this was shot near the BBC building in London, which is an area full of video production houses. It's not hard to imagine that a lot of people in the neighbourhood would have the skills to produce a pretty convincing fake video.

Well, hopefully their tech is far more advanced than us,I think it would take us about 300,000 years to go about 20 light years "right now" with our tech, even if we could somehow manage light speed traveling 20 years in space (one way) would be extremely tough. Even if you didn't go crazy there would be huge problems like food and water and gravity to keep your body strong.

I do believe that aliens exist out there and I suppose there's a possibility that a much older civilization have blown away the distance problem but I also think the chances are just as high that we humans in the future have figured out how to go back in time to buzz our skys.
