I haven’t seen the video, but I bet it is shakey and out of focus?

There seem to be a growing number of sightings in Russia and elsewhere.

The UFO leaves at a speed almost as fast as the Kentucky Derby winner, but not quite.

CRAP! That looked GOOD! Especially when it took off.

However, if something that large would be able to achieve that rate of speed in such a rapid manner, there’s have been a sonic boom.

Watch this computer animation and see if you'll ever believe anything you see on video again:

The state of the art in CGI, Photoshop and audio manipulation (ProTools) is such you can't believe any thing you see or hear.

And, thanks to the drive-by media, you can't believe anything you read either.

I say fake. 2 clues.

(1) zooms in really slowly indicating (a) good kind of camera, most cameras have only 1 zoom speed. why does this guy happen to have a good camera? And (b) why would he zoom in slowly? He should be excited, & zoom in quickly

(2) lucky he had the date turned on. most people turn that off by default. but for a ufo vid you would want it on

(3) why did he zoom out just before it flew away? If that was me, I would zoom in for as long as I could, to try and see more detail, not just a black outline. makes for a good shot to zoom out just before it flies away. too convenient

You’re too gullible dude.

Russia: Amazing UFO filmed near Moscow, video

Hey, Joe, as you probably recall, I often make fun of the UFO videos and photos posted on the web. But I have to say that this one is a little less goofy than most. The most interesting thing about it to me is this: after the object suddenly darts off to the left, there is one frame (and one frame only) which shows it re-appearing on the other side of the building as it continues leftward. This would seem to show that it wasn't just some floating model that somebody jerked to the left from behind the building. Whatever it was, it continued its flight beyond the building towards the left. And it was out of sight by the time the camera person could zoom back out and look around for it. According to my frame count, the re-appearance of the object on the left side of the building is nine frames after it begins its jag to the left.

Whatever it was, it was something flying in the air and it definitely went behind the building and re-appeared on the other side, moving very quickly. If the Russians have a craft that will hover and then suddenly dart away like that, they're doing pretty good work. And if it's a complete fake, it's a good one, quite entertaining...

Watched the video. I love a good UFO story, but I’m not buying this.

Looks fake to me, but then they all look fake or misinterpreted, when I look at them.

I find it amusing that the term UFO is commonly used to describe something that is ascribed an extraterrestrial origin. UFO nuts apparently don't understand what the word "unidentified" means.

This reminds me of one of the most convincing UFO sightings of the 1970s. It was a video (possibly a movie) taken with a high quality camera, looking north on Catalina Island. The camera was well focused (terrain hundreds of yards from the camera, was quite clear), but the object was blurred by atmospheric haze, since it was fairly distant and near the horizon. It was "obviously" moving too slowly to be an Earthly aircraft.

Many years later, a serious investigation was conducted. There is a lot of redundancy from frame to frame in a video or movie, and all of the images were (digitally) laid on top of one another, to get a clearer picture of the object.

After combining data from thousands of frames, the analysts were able to read the "N" number from the tail of the Cessna. Then they did one better, and convinced the FAA to do an archive search. The FAA found the flight plan, filed by the pilot, which indicated the airplane was further away than witnesses had believed.

Eventually, the pilot was contacted, and he had a record of the flight in his log book.

I have to believe this one is for real. There weren’t any hokey flashing lights advertising “free beer” then probing your granny on a back road..........

Sorry, I didn't make it past the first line-

"A UFO was allegedly seen by a number of witnesses hovering above a shopping mall"

How can you trust witnesses that can hover?

The video is worth watching . . . .

The pic above is probably as clear a segment as is there.

Sounds like more incremental winding up toward some sort of overt presence.

Sigh.

Hey Joe, where are you going with that UFO in your hand?

See the experts:

Let's do a little scratch math. Suppose the object traversed just 300 feet—the length of an American football field—from its stationary start on the right side of the building to its appearance on the left side of the building. That trip took about 10 frames of the video, or about four-tenths of a second since the video was shot at 25 frames per second. Let's call it half a second (that is, let's suppose the object is somewhat slower than that). To traverse 300 feet in half a second requires a speed of 600 feet per second, which is just over 400 miles per hour. But, remember, this has to be accomplished from a stationary start! And it's possible that the object was moving a bit faster than that and the distance it traversed was somewhat larger.

So here's a question for aviation buffs: Is there a man-made flying craft of decent size in existence today that can accelerate from zero mph to over 400 mph in half a second?
