UFOs and Youtube Censorship: The Ultimate Paradox!

2 Minutes 8 seconds - ProjectStorm As a strong believer in “UFOs”, I regret that many airplanes, helicopters, weather balloons, Chinese lanterns, stars and other perfectly explainable phenomena live a second life as “proof of an alien visitation” through youtube.
Example…
The object above “hovers” approximately 20 degrees above the horizon. When the camera zooms in, a diamond shaped object appears…
Usually, at this point, a typical UFO movie on youtube would stop right there, at the exact frame where the diamond shape appears:
Fortunately, the person who observes the object not only keeps filming it, he posts the entire video on youtube… You can watch here what happens next. Pretty amazing, isn’t it?
This excellent video is a very good example of how a typical video of a flying object, identified or not, should be… Here are a few tips…
- always try to capture the object’s reference to the horizon,
- zoom slowly in and out from there (but don’t overdo it)
- in case the object moves, zoom out and follow it, preferably with reference to the horizon
- if you have a tripod at hand and the object isn’t in a hurry, use it!
- upload the video in its entirety, nobody needs a director’s cut
The truth is out there…
Sadly, not only the truth is out there, a lot of crap movies are out there as well…
Uploading ufo-footage (in its entirety) on youtube is rather the exeption than the norm.
Many of these questionable movie uploaders deliberately want to hurt the UFO community in favor of the skeptic community.
But there are loads of ufo-fanatics out there as well who are convinced that everything they capture on tape is indeed a ufo.
Popular techniques to turn non-evidence into evidence…
- The Director’s Cut…
Censoring the “revealing part” of a video (most of the time that part is cut away) is one way to make evidence out of non-evidence. Why do you think so many “make-believe”-videos are less than 30 seconds long? To save bandwidth? - Censoring video comments…
Reading comments that are posted below popular youtube movies is a great way to find out more about the integrity of a specific UFO video…
When I first started posting my opinions about certain videos on youtube (anyone can post a comment or response just below a particular youtube movie), I was extremely surprised to find out that my “revealing” comments were instantly removed by those who uploaded the movies I commented. This happened many, many times…
- UFO debunkers…
It is my experience that many uploaders consistently remove all comments that “reveal” too much. It’s an integral part of their disinformation campaigns… They make-believe first with the sole purpose to debunk it later on under a different name.
The net result is a despicable game that turns many believers into non-believers. - UFO-fanatics…
In my opinion the worst kind. They censor just about anything that’s not in line with what they believe is proof of UFOs.How incredibly stupid, counterproductive and
paradoxical is that?
They are usually the first to shout when the government censors or refuses to release sensitive information.
- UFO debunkers…
UFO believers must admit it…
I do think it’s in all believers’ interest to admit that a big chunk of the “video-evidence” out there is in fact non-evidence. How else can we expect to be taken seriously?
To conclude this post, let me end with a quote from Dr. Richard F. Haines, my favorite ufologist…
“Ufology is in a state of transition and confusion today (1995). I see little evidence of serious private involvement. I see a growing interference in serious and legitimate activities of ufologists by people who have little or no background, experience, or education in the field.” (source: cufon)
How very true that is, even today!
