Well, if nothing else that stuff is somewhat entertaining. I especially liked the part where they said that video tape of the stars was "clusters of objects". I think I saw the big dipper. And then when they were supposedly "moving in the same direction", you can clearly see how it was just the clouds moving past the camera. At that point it went from "entertaining" to "sad". I am shocked that the audience did not erupt in laughter when he said, "I do not think there has ever been a videotape with more objects in the sky. EVER."

Then, more stars being videotaped and he says, "This time we can see they are standing still. Are we being observed? This proves we are, at least in Mexico."

I like the old UFO photographs better. At least those hubcaps looked more like UFOs should. Videotaping the stars does not take as much effort and creativity.

Todd,
I went back to the video to see the part you were talking about concerning his statement about not ever seeing so many objects in the sky. That shot was taken in the daytime, so they couldn't have been stars. Secondly, if you look at the spheres, you'll notice that all of them have sunlight reflecting on the left side of them, which shows that it's clearly a daytime shot. Also, if you watch the scenes shortly after, you'll see that the objects move away from each other and then come back.

I don't think that this guy is gonna ruin his reputation in front of countless UFO enthusiasts and the such at a huge conference like that one, which was being taped and sent around the whole world to see, and show a bunch of stars. He would be insulting the whole UFO community's intelligence.

But everyone has their opinions, and I totally respected that....

Sorry, I didn't mean to bust your chops. I would love to hear from someone who know about these things, but I'll be willing to bet that those were stars or some similar phenomena. I'm sure there are certain times were you would be able to see them with a zoom lens, like you can see the moon during the day sometimes. Also, the black "shading" on the lower and right side of each dot was the sharpening control (also called edge enhancement) that video cameras use to make things stand out. I happen to know about that because I have a relative who works with HD video for a living. It's common on any NTSC video source.

Watching a little further into the presentation, there was also one point that people were watch "something" floating in a valley. I think the speaker called it "flat with a dome" or something like that. Anyway, from the various angles, it was clear that the thing was pretty small, especially when it passed in from on the trees.

Then, what about those little white (and very flat) spacemen that were supposedly running around? There was one shot through a fence with a night vision lens, where it was clear that they were little figures that were taped or pasted to the back of the fence. (They were small to make it appear they were standing far away.) Go back and see what I mean. There were two spindles on the fence, and a tiny spaceman was attached to the back of each one. Look at the colors of the spacemen and see how they are the same as the fence picket they are attached to. (The one on the left was dimmer.) If they spacemen were really far away, the lens would not have picked them up at all, because the night vision would have gotten washed out by the bright fence picket in the foreground.

In another shot, one of the spacemen was supposedly holding his little hand over his eyes (like he was shading the sun), and according to the speaker, was looking for the people videotaping. There are a couple of problems with that: 1) It was pitch-black out, so a spaceman would not need to shield their eyes from the sun (they were using night vision), 2) the spaceman appeared to be a couple of inches tall, because the lighting from the night vision was the same on the spaceman as it was on the fence. (Plus there were bushes a couple of feet behind the fence, so the spaceman would have to be very small to fit in there.)

Then there was the picture of the two policemen on horses, with the fuzzy spaceman supposedly running unnoticed between them. I think that one speaks for itself.

Contrary to what you might think, I STRONGLY believe in life on other planets. I just don't believe in anything these UFO people are saying. Are these tiny spacemen really that interested in planet Earth and its inhabitants? Are there really hundreds of tiny dots (or "spheres") hovering over Mexico? I don't think so, but it's a free country.

Again, sorry if my comments are a little harsh, I should not be judgmental of these things. If I'm wrong, I guess I'm screwed. ;-)

Todd, are you kidding?
This is what's so great about the good ol' USA....
Everyone has the right to speak their mind, everyone has their opinions, and everyone also has a belief system. I respect them all, also trying not to be judgemental.

I too believe in extraterrestrials.

Reply: It is suggested that they might have been able to see the night vision light which concentrates the star's lights, as I'm sure you're very well aware of. It's like bees being able to see ultraviolet light, and humans unable to see...

Either way I was very interested in your replies. It's nice to know that we can all have an open debate in this great land.....

Reply: Yes they are interested in our planet. They have special interest groups who partake also...

I wouldn't steer ya wrong.....
