And yes, of course the UFO was CGI. Did you watch the 'making of' video?
I did watch the making of video and again that isn't the point. Are you able to prove to me based on the video alone that it's cgi?

You don't accept the hoaxers' statements as enough evidence that the video is a hoax?

You're fall too gullible, my friend.

What you are saying is that a video alone isn't proof then.

We're back to burden of proof again, kageki. The film shows objects for which there is no evidence of their existence. They defy what we know about our physical world. Therefore, it is up to you to show how they are not CGI.

It's been demonstrated that it is CGI by way of the makers posting the 'making of' film on youtube. What more evidence do you need? Also, I'm not sure what you're trying to prove by demonstrating that one can't tell CGI from real, physical objects just by viewing a film clip in real time. That's not how most films of UFOs are shown to be fake, and it's not how various individuals have shown the Jerusalem UFO videos to be fake.

So modern CGI is convincing when watched in real time? Wow. Hold the front page...

Look, better than that, which just shows you hown easily the UFO could be created on the film, have a look at this analysis of Video 1, which shows anomalies (mirroring effect) on the actual film as it has been presented on youtube:

http://www.ufoeyes.com/2011/02/05/ov...fake-giveaway/

Are you still unconvinced that video 1 is fake?

What point are you trying to make, kageki? I can't see what you're trying to do by denying reality at the moment.

As I keep having to repeat myself, it's easy to make all sorts of fake videos including a fake 9/11 video.

Try reading. You seem to have difficulties with this.

And this is news to whom?

Why do you keep mentioning 9/11? Isn't one infraction for it enough?

Of course a video is proof. It's proof that some people will believe any old guff that's posted on WooTube.

There is no need to prove a video claiming to show things that defy the laws of physics is not genuine, the burden of proof rests with those that claim the video is genuine.

So for the last time. Any critical analysis that points to technical faults (lack of parallax, lack of foreshortening when zooming, mirroring of outer edges, signs of manual pixel lightening, non changing shadows, audio track manipulation) all have to be overcome by the people who are claiming this video to be genuine.

No what you are saying is that a video isn't proof at all. The 9/11 video is proof to you and it's irrelevant if someone made a fake 9/11 video. So for the last time, the fake Jerusalem video proves no point at all.

How do the videos defy the laws of physics?

Anyways I guess there is no further discussion since apparently ALL the videos have been conclusively debunked. It would be nice if these "witnesses" or "actors" came forth, but that hasn't happened yet unfortunately.

If speaking about the Jerusalem one, did you read what was written about shadow and light propagation ?

It is possible for one piece of evidence to stand up to scrutiny. However, in the bigger picture the fact that someone can make a fake video does not necessarily prove they did. Your comparison with the 9/11 is slightly pointless as the Jerusalem UFO left no lasting physical evidence with which to verify it. Therefore, all we have to work with is the video.

Lack of parallax, unexpected parallax, bright lights that only light up what was already light, bright lights that don't change direction of shadows, mirroring of night time lights in a landscape that shows no symmetry, exceleration without signs of propulsion, interlaced frames and progressive frames in the same bit of footage... you know, that kind of thing.

The young film maker people who published video 4 were supposed to be doing an interview. I haven't heard if that's happened as yet. It seems everyone else is clamming up.

Apparently The Temple Mount video maker has said that his video is a hoax to Israeli channel 2 news. I'm looking for corroboration on this.

Update: 5th Feb 2011

The battle rages on, from AllNewsWeb on facebook:

All News Web I can still confirm that I am the only person the witnesses have spoken (other than someone from Israeli TV station Channel 2) and that I know they were at Armon Hanatziv that night-this failed attempt at debunking kind of confirms that.
Will be going on Radio within the next few days to reveal what I know of the UFO jerusalem incident: It should be a pretty interesting interview
Anybody else have any info on this supposed confession?

Are you trying to back around into the point that some fake videos don't prove that all videos are faked therefore aliens?

I'm more suspicious that it's "You can't prove that all videos are real/faked therefore 9/11 was faked."

No I'm not trying to do that. I am criticizing that fake Jerusalem video just like what I have said, but I think it illustrates the double standard of so-called skeptics regarding video evidence. Also that it is actually hard to ascertain the authenticity of a video and that a so-called skeptic will never accept only a video as proof of ufo/aliens.

So can we agree that the fake Jerusalem video serves no point whatsoever?

However, it's not just about the video. It's about the whole circumstance.
It's about a body of evidence building up, the video being just one part of it.

There are no double standards here.

No skeptic will take a single video as proof of anything that is extraordinary. It is too easy to fake them. You need something more substantial and independent. So far, that independence has no appeared in the Jerusalem videos. Two of them came from the same spot (they appeared on the 29th as best I can tell), the third was a bad hoax trying to cash in on the first two, and the fourth appeared days later (on February 2nd from what I can tell) after the first two had been on the web for all to see. No real independent confirmation of the videos has occurred. That could be produced by live video from security cameras and multiple witness reports from the area. Nothing of the sort has occurred, which means the videos should be considered highly suspect (as if they weren't already).

.... pation, your analysis to show how everything is perfectly in place and to be expected in a video.
well thank you haha, and honestly I am a person who would like to believe that there is something out there, so when i see videos like this I am always hoping that they are true. I'm no video analyst and i dare not even put myself in any category close to that but I just figured i'd put my two cents in so maybe someone with more knowledge could shed some light on the matter. if its fake then so be it, but if not then I would like to have had some part in showing that it isn't.

Having just read this thread from front to back, I just had to pop in to say:
Kageki, you are an incredibly dishonest person. You've been shown to be wrong multiple times, and each time you react by goalpost moving and attacking the people who show you to be wrong. Whatever reason you are here for, it isn't for finding the truth of the matter.

Also, hat tip to Stray Cat's excellent sleuthing.

None of that is true and no one has disagreed that the fake Jerusalem video serves no point at all.

If the videos have been conclusively proven to be fake then so be it. I haven't pursued the matter at this point so your post was not just wrong, but unnecessary.

Still attempting to switch the burden of proof, then?

That's what I'd say about all of your posts, actually.

Everything I said was true. The second part of that statement is a dodge. You have been shown to be factually incorrect in this thread, and you refuse to address this. A simple "I'm sorry, I was wrong" would do much for your credibility.

Are you conceding that the video you were viciously defending as real is a forgery, as was stated by pretty much everyone else earlier?

Well I guess that makes the both of us.
