    Yeah, it really moves when it finally moves. An Irish comedian whose name escapes me used to say about the starship enterprise in Star trek : "Away like a greyhound.":D

    Was that recent? Were there any other videos of it, from different parts of the locality do you know?

    Surely being able to see some detail would be 'better'. Not an easily faked smudge :)

    I think it may be a fly on the window, out of focus.

    Nah, it's a deliberate fake. Flies don't behave like that. You see them working the edge of the window into shot a few times to create an illusion of depth.

    Said to be a mother ship in Peru, couple miles across. Thoughts ?
    Quite difficult to fake, I would imagine..

    My immediate reaction to that one is - again - how fake it looks. Firstly, it's a little suspicious that it appears in a gap in the clouds. If things this big were really out there, we'd have better evidence than this.

    And the second thing is that if I were going to fake something like this, I'd use a simple blue-screen background (such as a blue sky) and then another colour as the foreground (white, for example) which my spaceship would be 'behind'. This is really simple to fake. If the background was a mountainside or something, it would be more difficult - not much more difficult, but it would take longer to produce. This single-colour background, single colour foreground method is about as easy as it gets, I reckon.

    Notice also that there are no light effects going on - the miles wide spaceship throws no shadows on the clouds or anything.

    On top of that, why is the person holding the camera shooting that gap in the clouds? And why don't the centre they UFO in the shot when it emerges?

    Shrewd analysis. I came across the above video when I was looking to see how many youtube users were convinced of the reality of the former.

    Its so easy to fake these video's these days, i could do it myself if i was bothered, But since i saw a ufo myself twice i do think they are real but you just cant really believe anything you see in video's these days, a few days with boujou and any 3d app and you can whip up a convincing hoax and it'd look great in your showreel and job interview ;)

    And considering how silent that video is as in no reaction from the guy filming it id assume its a total fake
