Merged UFO @ Jerusalem, 2011. Call Captain-D

I've not stated my beliefs and that wasn't the point of the post. It was to show that a real fake video doesn't prove anything.
No, the point of your post was to bring in your unfounded belief in the CT regarding 9/11.

In the Jerusalem UFO case, a video has been presented. Nothing more.
So all we have to go on is a video. (well 4 video's now, 5 if you include my Gay Rodeo one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSUO3vBmGUI).

Debunking a video may not prove anything, but like I already said earlier in this thread, the burden of proof is not mine anyway. So far, I have seen nothing from the 'bleevers' that in any way validates any of these videos as genuine.
 
A fake reaction to something not really there is acting.


The links to the various videos are in the thread along with sometimes quite detailed deconstructions of them. If you want to discuss the issue, it would be nice if you were up to speed with the details.

How would you know it is a fake reaction?

Do you know the languages spoken in the other videos that were not in english?
 

Thank you. I have read this thread and I believe this was needed.

"The sound track on video 3 (where you don't see anyone) is a collection of disparate clips where the people could have been reacting to anything from a fireworks display to the opening of a new pizza shop."

Video 3 according to this list is with the american tourists who clearly say "ufo". Wrong video Straycat?

No the point was that this fake video doesn't prove a point as I explained. It is not about 9/11.

Stop the presses!!!

Edited by jhunter1163: 
Removed link. Do not repost this video in this thread.


Does that fake video prove the 9/11 videos were fake? Not necessarily right?

This is not about 9/11. I am just taking issue with the notion of a video being a possible fake just because you can make fake videos.

Because the video is a fake.


The languages spoken don't make a fake video suddenly become genuine.

Those people are "fake"? How do you prove that?

I was wondering how you came to this conclusion:

"The sound track on video 3 (where you don't see anyone) is a collection of disparate clips where the people could have been reacting to anything from a fireworks display to the opening of a new pizza shop."
 
Yes, it's odd how when the burden of proof is correctly weighted, it can not be met.
It's not my responsibility to prove anything. The burden of proof is upon those who claim something that goes against science and evidence.

It's your responsibility to prove these videos are fake as you claim. So far I am not entirely convinced. I don't know what all this "burden of proof" stuff you are talking here.
 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_burden_of_proof
The burden of proof (Latin: onus probandi) is the obligation to shift the accepted conclusion away from an oppositional opinion to one's own position.

The burden of proof is often associated with the Latin maxim semper necessitas probandi incumbit ei qui agit, the best translation of which seems to be: "the necessity of proof always lies with the person who lays charges."[1] This is a statement of a version of the presumption of innocence that underpins the assessment of evidence in some legal systems, and is not a general statement of when one takes on the burden of proof. The burden of proof tends to lie with anyone who is arguing against received wisdom, but does not always, as sometimes the consequences of accepting a statement or the ease of gathering evidence in its defense might alter the burden of proof its proponents shoulder. The burden may also be assigned institutionally.

He who does not carry the burden of proof carries the benefit of assumption, meaning he needs no evidence to support his claim. Fulfilling the burden of proof effectively captures the benefit of assumption, passing the burden of proof off to another party. However the incidence of burden of proof is affected by common law, statute and procedure.

The burden of proof is an especially important issue in law and science.

http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/burden-of-proof.html
In many situations, one side has the burden of proof resting on it. This side is obligated to provide evidence for its position. The claim of the other side, the one that does not bear the burden of proof, is assumed to be true unless proven otherwise. The difficulty in such cases is determining which side, if any, the burden of proof rests on. In many cases, settling this issue can be a matter of significant debate. In some cases the burden of proof is set by the situation. For example, in American law a person is assumed to be innocent until proven guilty (hence the burden of proof is on the prosecution). As another example, in debate the burden of proof is placed on the affirmative team. As a final example, in most cases the burden of proof rests on those who claim something exists (such as Bigfoot, psychic powers, universals, and sense data).
Examples of Burden of Proof

1. Bill: "I think that we should invest more money in expanding the interstate system."
Jill: "I think that would be a bad idea, considering the state of the treasury."
Bill: "How can anyone be against highway improvements?"

2. Bill: "I think that some people have psychic powers."
Jill: "What is your proof?"
Bill: "No one has been able to prove that people do not have psychic powers."

3. "You cannot prove that God does not exist, so He does."

What an odd question.
No, the people are not fake.

Because the background image of the Temple of the Rock is a still photograph with a UFO superimposed on it. Therefore, the people can not be actually reacting to it as it wasn't there. We can therefore safely assume that they weren't there either.

Besides that, any inspection of the sound wave left by the audio track (when examined in an audio editing programme) reveals split second gaps were there is no noise at all, no voices, no background noise. This is where the different clips have been (poorly) edited together.
 
It's your responsibility to prove these videos are fake as you claim.
No, science says that these thing do not happen. So far no one has provided any proof that would be compelling enough for science to change it's mind.
Therefore, the default position is that anything that defies science needs proving. It is not science's responsibility to disprove every crack pot idea that someone on the internet comes along with.

I don't know what all this "burden of proof" stuff you are talking here.
That might be part of the problem then.

I have to ask, have you in fact, seen these videos? I’m guessing maybe you haven’t as some are not only clearly faked, but are clearly horribly faked as well. Are you visually impaired somehow and using a brail monitor?

:confused:

Wasn't it your contention that these people are acting? Your logic is that since you believe this video to be fake that these people then must be acting. That doesn't follow to me.

If these people are acting then they or someone had to come up with the dialogue. It was simple, but still appropriate to the video. I find it a bit hard to believe that these people would go so far as acting to make this fake video. Acting and dialogue isn't needed to make a fake ufo video after all. So far you haven't made a case that these people really are acting.

You really need to get up to speed on this subject. The link you posted is not the video he is describing. Of course, if a video is shown to be a hoax, then the voices have to be either stolen from another clip that was not hoaxed or people pretending (i.e. acting) they were seeing something.

You don't get it? The images of the video are fake. Hence, the people are acting.

Why is that hard to understand?

So because you have people in the video reacting (with dialogue, even!) to what they're supposed to be seeing, this means it's real?

You are easily fooled.
