Pillars of light and Orange UFOs

The above video is three photos allegedly taken after a severe storm in Japan (location unknown) showing giant pillars of white light reaching to the sky.
Not much is known and most people where quick to proclaim hoax.
I cannot be sure even if it looks like a poor Photoshop job, because in this day and age, who does photo hoaxes any more?
And, in response to my own rationale, why (in this day and age again) has no one posted a video of the same incidents?  We’ll see..

And in the above video, a new (?) kind of UFO, Hexagon-shaped and orange, seems to be making the rounds around the globe.

Seriously, there’s so much UFO activity posted every day on YouTube that it’s just not worth it posting every single one! Did anyone say UFO flap? We haven’t heard that in ages. But that’s a topic for another post.

UFO videos and cinematic reality

Seeing this UFO video (or videos) supposedly shot by multiple witnesses, somewhere in Canada, made me want to share some thoughts.
These thoughts are not in regard to the validity of the video, since plenty of people have already commented “how fake it looks”..
I don’t feel a video is enough to make an analysis any more. It was enough 30 years ago, but not now.. Bear with me:

I began to wonder what makes people claim out loud “it’s fake”. Most of them deal in Photoshop and After Effects, so they are no strangers to graphics. But the argument “I can make this in After Effects” is a non-argument: I can make the Space Shuttle launch in After Effects and 3D Studio Max, but that does not mean that the launch you see on TV is fake!

We are deeply saturated with visual effects iconography, so much that it makes me wonder: Would we know the difference between Visual Effects and reality?
The difference between a good and a bad VFX shot these days is camera shake!

I wonder, if the video had camera shake, how would it alter the perception of the viewers?
And, more importantly, since so many commentators relied on the “it looks fake” proposition, I have another question:
If the event pictured was real how would it look? I mean, have you seen many Inter-dimensional Wormholes lately? Then, please, let us know how they look on video!

My point is that if we are to judge something outside everyday reality, we cannot afford to use everyday reality arguments on it.

That being said, the video is probably fake, but I made my point..

Strange Days

The Internet these days is full of UFO videos, alien videos, Ultra-secret information leaks, conspiracy theories and more. From alien involvement in the Japanese tragedy to full-blown Invasion, it’s all out there.
But alien videos, that’s all the rage right now. Stick aliens, Grays, dead aliens, you name it, in full Technicolor in a monitor near you.
Now, this has two possible explanations:

1. They are getting more at home, an invasion is imminent, and I need to stock up on food getting ready for the Alien Apocalypse. (and by food I mean Cheese Puffs and Beer)
2. The Internet Hoaxers Union has actually found a way to monetize these videos and make real money of our gullibility. (has YouTube opened up it’s Partner Program?)

The Internet being the only free and limitless information outlet, does not mean that it is not full of shit. I am reminded of an old saying: “If you keep your mind sufficiently open, people are going to throw a lot of garbage in it”. I forget who said that. Never mind.

Two specimens below: An alien corpse in Russian snow, and a Grey sighting with a lot of “shit” and “fuck” as background noise. Enjoy and do not make up your mind. You DON’T HAVE TO have an opinion about everything..

Creature at night Hoax (prolly)

Now this is one creepy picture. Supposedly it was taken by a trail cam used by a hunter somewhere in Louisiana. The image is spooky as hell and if it is a hoax, it is a great job. The poster’s mistake was that he posted a second picture of the same spot “just for reference”

And the problems become visible: The little tree on the right is exactly the same, although the images are supposedly 9 days apart, and the texture of the creature is exactly the same as the deer’s. Nothing conclusive but it sure points to a certain direction.

Great Photoshop job, but hoaxes are abundant nowadays, and most of the investigative work is done at the comfort of your own home, since debunking is best done in front of a computer..

Even creepier than the photo: The comments at the thread over in Archery Talk where the image was posted. One guy answers the question “what is that thing” with “Prolly a liberal ! ”.. 
How’s that for White Trash Central?

Cumberland Spaceman follow-up

After this sad little expose I covered some days ago, it seems that some stories don’t lie down and die that easily. While most of the other cases where easily proven to be hoaxes, the Cumberland Spaceman photo still stirs a lot of debate..

The article caused quite a stir, in turn causing a lot of new correlations. Like this one:

“The continuing dialogue between "commentors" here about the Solway Firth (Cumberland) “spaceman” confirms, for us, that the photo and incident should not be dismissed out-of-hand.
The reason not to dismiss stems from the more-than-tangential information that a missile test (Blue Streak Missile) in Australia (Woomera) in the same time-frame as the photo-taking by Mr. Templeton – Australia’s time zone considerably different than that of the Solway Firth (U.K.) time zone – had a bizarre incident: two “men” in white seen in the missile range, halting the test, allegedly.
The Blue Streak missile was also worked on and tested in the Solway Firth area.”

Apparently white-clothed figures where seen once before in this area during a missile test, and then disappeared without a trace..
Now that’s a strong indication that something WAS indeed happening there. It’s not the definitive proof, but I’ve learned over the years that Strange Things generally don’t happen just once.
The Paranormal acts like a localized force, manifesting regularly over a given area, and then sometimes ceases to exist. If it does not, it is declared Haunted, or a UFO hotspot, or a No Man’s Land.
So this collateral appearance seems to indicate that indeed something was up in Cumbria in 1964..

The Fourth Kind of Hoax

Saw the movie The Fourth Kind a couple of days ago, and I just had to write something about it.
To get it out of the way, yes I liked it. Very much. It's been a while since I saw something as creepy and disturbing as this.
If you liked The Mothman Prophecies, chances are you are going to like this one as well.
The film is styled in a documentary kind of way, and starts by pronouncing everything in it to be true, but a quick search proved that it was all a viral marketing plan by Universal, ending in criticism and a fine of $20.000...
The marketing campaign was backed by fake news sites among others, which probably played a big part in the negative criticism and legal action that ensued.
Here's a breakdown of the investigation by Kyle Hopkins, done even before the film was released.
 So why even bother? Well, it is this documetary-style, slow-moving directorial pace that gives the film it's ominous atmosphere, as well as the abduction elements, that are not as far-fetched as the uninitiated might think. The director clearly has done his research or is a full-fledged UFO freak. Good stuff.


I am afraid I cannot comment on the plot without spoiling it for some, so see it for yourselves. All I can say is that the UFO community out there (the internet) is of a very poor quality, home of the uninformed, confused, messed up or plain screaming crazy... Just take a look at any UFO forum...

The trailer is here..

CARET controversy continues.. Hoax or not?

The Internet controversy continues as to the authenticity of the documents and info provided by the person (?) with the alias Isaac. Here is his page, which is quite informative, and well written IMHO.

This thing has taken such proportions in the confined and claustrophobic internet spaces that Alienware, a hardware company, has adopted some of it's riddles and design in it's marketing campaign, leading many people to believe that "Isaac" had ripped them off the campaign. It reached Alienware of cource, who rushed to clarify that they where the ones ripping off the content, and that they hold no intellectual property or copyright over the materials.

The Alienware mail as well as some history can be found here.

Are you convinced that it is a hoax? Am I?

I still think it is a very elaborate piece of work, not to mention tasteful and well designed. Users of the above forum claim that some of the elements of the craft and objects can be found in public 3D libraries. Yes, but which appeared first? I fear that is a question not even Google can answer...

And, last but not least, why hasn't the person who put this thing together (assuming someone on earth has) come forward to claim the glory? Nobody would cause such a stir and then sit quietly and wait for it to die down.. Or would they?

Tons of parameters here: artistry, ego, work, fame, bullshit, ridicule, and the list goes on.

Just like life...
