Ring UFO ?

muppetkiller

Hi all,
Have you seen this yet ?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYLUlTQBQeg&feature=fvw

very strange looking thing it must be said. And the excuse that it's part of another ride seems a bit crazy seeing as they'd be able to just go back the next day and prove that point ?


Anyway thought I'd share as it's pretty weird but for once a pretty clear video.

Actually it's clearer here

The title of the thread is Ring UFO? With a question mark? Of course it's a UFO. Unidentified-flying-object.

So it's crazy to think that it may be part of a nearby ride. Ok, can you give me a non-crazy explanation as to what it may be?

A comment on one of the videos explains how to make something like that with black bin bags and helium, it's been done before. But it's more than likely E.T. or Captain Spock or something, right?

muppetkiller

The fact that it's on the news in the states would kinda rule out the fact that it was a normal everyday occurance in the theme park as they would have explained exactly what it was. (IMO for what it's worth)

If it was bin bags and Helium I presume it would at least make some movement in the wind...but I've no clue what it is but it's the first ufo Video I've seen in years that has really caught my interest.

The question mark in the Title is one of confusion as I've no idea what it is....
But Overblood thank you for your valuable input. :rolleyes:

blue plastic bags in petrols stations have made it onto the news in the states, so I wouldnt put too much behind the fact it made the news.

This cant be bin liners and helium.
How high up is it? Bluddy high thats how high.
How many binliners would it take to make something of this size and it also looks like a perfect circle. And how much helium would you need, and why is it not moving?. This is also higher than the clouds so its big.

I'd say its a UFO. Either that or the biggest damn Chinese Lantern ever.

ufo as in alien spacecraft or ufo as in object currently unidentified?

HA! Chinese lanterns, brilliant, was wondering when that old chestnut would raise it's head! Classic material!

this is an interesting comment:

That woman has to be one of the dumbest people on Earth. I’ve been to Kings Dominion and that ring is there a lot. It’s from the Volcano roller coaster ride. The volcano puffs out that ring several times a day. The news media has to be really dumb for reporting it too.

iamhunted. I'll go with the Object Currently Unidentified after reading your last post:D.

Same thing again in Orlando Florida back in 1999.

Skeptical input is always valuable so you are welcome.

Wow, 5 seconds of contemplating and you've reached the conclusion that there is no way it can be bin liners due to the fact that you need lots of bin liners to do that, and it's high up, so therefore it is a UFO (I'm guessing you mean alien spaceship when you say UFO).

No I think that one might actually be an alien spaceship.

iamhunted

... in disguise as a smoke ring. damned clever.

Well it definitely wan't aliens, which is a much more stupid conclusion to make.

Before we knew what exactly it was, I hypothesized that it may be binliners and helium, which is quite probable. Binliners exist, and helium also exists. So does sellotape, which can be used to tape modified binliners end to end. Fill it with helium and then it floats. Turns out I was wrong, it was a smoke ring.

But I knew it wasn't a fecking alien visiting Earth. I still made a good effort to guess what it may have been WITHOUT resorting to alien spacecraft crap. Suey you were happy enough to state that it was an alien. Some people in this forum really have an unhealthy lack of skepticism. What's going on in this country? WHATS GOING ON COME ON WE HAVE GOOD SCHOOLS AND FREE COLLEGE AND LIBRARIES COME ON!! AAAAAAAAARRGGGHHGHHH!!!!

i think thats just the aliens being sly.

Overblood, that was the most agressive post that I've ever seen in boards.

Riamfada

Perhaps he is an Alien. Case Closed ..... along with this thread imo!

I agree with Overblood however. It wasnt agression it was frustration. I would advise he stay well clear of the mythology forum.

I have never ever been to the mythology forum before. So I had a quick glance after your post. I nearly died from cardiac arrest.

Anyone else notice the strategically placed Scientology advert? :rolleyes:

If you look at the trees in the video you'll see the wind is blowing, moving the branches, no way a smoke ring would have got so high and kept its shape like that.
