UFO's or balloons?

On a recent episode of Fact or Faked Paranormal Files they investgated footage of what the videographer claimed were some type of flying craft, approximately 250 of them, at one time, over Mexico. The FFPF team went through their typical attempts to refudiate the legitimacy of the video. The last thing they did was launch 250 white balloons at the same time and affirmed that this was indeed what was filmed. Personally I am not sold on it being balloons but am not ruling them out. I was just curious what other thought. I just don't believe that they would remain so uniform in their movements and stay pretty much the same distance apart as they move across the sky.

"They insisted that the victim animals simply had died of dog bites from dogs or other animals. They suggested that disease might have been responsible for one animal's death. They denied that the victims had been exsanguinated, as many witnesses had claimed, and even suggested that the puncture wounds reported might be from barbed wire. Callers reminded them that some wounds were deep enough to reach into the victims' lungs, that the flesh was not torn as in dog bites, that signs of struggles were inexplicably missing, and that corpses did not decay normally, but their arguments were brushed aside. Also brushed aside were callers' attempts to bring extraterrestrials into the conversation.

When the recording ended. I rewound it and played it again and again. I still could not believe what I was hearing. The callers had the skeptics pinned against the ropes from the very first call." - Scott Corrales

The problem I have with most UFO sightings is that people are eager to jump into the "Its a spcecraft from another planet" answer even if they don't have a clear picture or view of it. Thing is a person sees something moving across the night or day sky that they can't see clearly and jump to the aformentioned conclusion. Problem is in order to determine speed and the like you would have to know the size of the craft and the distance it is away from you. Some of these hucksters on TV (UFO Hunters)just do some minimal explanation and go…"Yes, Its a UFO (spacecraft)."

Unless you see it up close or have a crystal clear view you don't know.

I'm not always right but I'm never wrong.



The above are my opinions.

This is definitely not balloons. Interesting video. Can't understand anything but good video indeed.

I don't see how you aren't sold on that video being balloons -- it seems very clear to me…….

The second video posted looks like aircraft with the take-off/landing lights on……….

DD,

I did see that episode, and I thought that the recreation with the balloons looked almost identical to the original video they were investigating.
