who's to say this wasn't made by a professional or semi-professional animator
Exactly, and who says it can't be made by some fanatic? There have been many cases of fanatics doing drastic things to further their cause, and there is nothing drastic about this. Also, you have yet to explain to me about that "Antenna" that appears at an impossible view point. How is it that that rod coming out of the UFO would appear when you view the bottom of the UFO (when it is close to the screen) but not when you see the UFO is far away with a better angle of the top of the UFO? It should have been completely visible from the beginning towards the end of the video and should have dissapeared from view once the UFO began tilting upwards towards the last second of the clip.
in motion would not move smoothely across the sky(it would jerk and wobble)
It is not moving smoothly accross the sky. Towards the beginning of the clip we are given the illusion that is it flying very smoothly and quickly, but towards the end you can see clearly that the UFO is jerking and wobbling, like its attached to a rope.
Yet one of the most confusing things that I see is towards the end. You can see the light coming off the bottom of the UFO when it flies over the camera, yet no light apears around the scenerio untill after the clip ends. What the hell is this?
As for it gaining altitude, it is barley noticable. Again, we are given this illusion do to a very slight increase in height and the naturally uneven enviroment around the camera, but don't look at the hills (which I bet most of you have done) instead, compare the UFO with the clouds in the backround. You will see that the UFO increases in little or no altitidue.
One last thing, this camera man is in the middle of no where with a camera. Coicidence? With no body with him? I haven't heard this clip with sound (which shouldn't be considered evidence since sound can easily be imitated) but from what I read on this thread, it sounds like there's only 1 person with the camera. What in the world is he doing out there with a camera at just the right moment?
