Merged UFO @ Jerusalem, 2011. Call Captain-D

In the end the object flies up but the shooter of the video is not interested in actually following it, looks very fake.
 
Welcome, quietthomas.

Fixed your linky. Can't do anything about it being the most obvious fake since the Shroud of Turin though.

What is there to explain?

It's a fake... it seems to have gone viral.

The manner in which it oscillated looked like what I saw, although you could see more than a white light in what I saw.

What led you to jump to proclaim this was faked?

I mean besides that you are a skeptic, and that is your first reaction to seeing something unexplainable?

The fake...it hurts my eyes!

And yes Info, good point. Why didn't the cameraman tilt up to follow it?

Camera men shoot what is in front of a steady camera...

Trying to follow a fast moving object often yields jerky un-centered images. You are better keeping the camera still, and just capture what happens in front of you.

The object moves away quickly, too much so to be followed, with any accuracy.

I'd have shot the object the same way.

No actually, my first reaction is usually that someone has made an honest misidentification of a mundane object... However, in this case 'fake' fits better.

The video on the OP is not even a video (in my opinion), it is a CGI light added to a still photo. When the camera zooms in and out, there is no change in relationship to objects within the scene that are at different distances from the camera. Basically, it's like parallax but it doesn't describe lateral movement (though there isn't any of that either in this video).

Also looking at the original (my second link) from the two guys, there is a massive flash just the before the object zooms upwards. In the video in the OP, there is no flash.
Then there's the usual stuff about people starting YouTube Channels only a few weeks before the sighting and two apparently un linked people happening to get un-credited footage...

Buddy, I think your debunk-foo is weak...

The flash 'could' be seen in the second videos because they were engine side, possibly?

If you look at my second link, you will see that in the original released video (shot from further out of town) shows several red objects doing a bit of a display high in the sky... I wonder that no one closer to the event saw this, OK so the camera may not have been able to follow the light as it zoomed upwards, but surely the camera person's eyes would have followed eventually and then maybe filmed some of the amazing light show going on above?

Unless of course, it's faked... perish the thought that someone would use YouTube to perpetuate a hoax eh.

That does not really make sense, if you are filming a real UFO would you really care more about the city of Jerusalem being clear on the video instead of getting a few more seconds of tape of the UFO? Also considering that it was moving pretty fast and upwards it would have soon been relatively slow for the cameraman to follow, why not tilt the camera up at that point if the shooter is so concerned about having clear video without any sudden movements?

Obvious fake is obvious... it doesn't take long to spot.

Really, if there was nothing wrong with the video, I wouldn't hit the 'fake' button*.

But if you can show how my initial analysis is wrong I'm all ears.


* There isn't a 'fake' button on YouTube, only a 'like' or 'dislike' button.

Have you EVER seen a video of a U.F.O. on youtube that you DIDN'T surmise was a fake?

Fair enough.

But what passes for debunked here is laughable.

Sometimes it's just not worth the trouble.

Thing is, you don't get to do the laughing part until things like this are demonstrated to be genuine. When that happens you can laugh your arse off, but until then . . .

What specific element(s) led you to "fake"?

The same specific elements that led me to realise that Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobe weren't fighting with real light sabres.
