UFOs over Pakistan? (Videos)
I just stumbled across these vids whilst looking for something on YouTube and wasn't sure where to post them. I'd be interested to hear other people's opinions...

Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkxUBnTXzd8

Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aY50VJmX4o

Here's a blog about Lahore sightings: http://lahoreufo.blogspot.com/

And what the hell is this, CGI? If it's a 'real' sighting, how come this hasn't been on the news? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hdo8RO3M8Y

2. Because I'm curious about what other people think of them.
I had seen a really interesting couple of posts on GD a month or so ago in which someone was talking about UFOs and it had quite a good response.

If it's offending people I'll be happy to remove it.

4. No one has a right to *not* be offended...
Overlook the naysayers and the "posting police" and post what you want until otherwise instructed by a moderator or administrator...


Peace,

Ghost

8. "UFO nuts demand "full disclosure by June or Obama to face the media""
I hope to have helped satiate your curiosity.

19. There's that as well
On reflection, I guess part of the motivation was to engender a 'fun' conversation in amongst all the heaviness...

25. Exactly. And interesting on various levels
Weird how they bring out such hatred in some, tho ...er, or is it hatred for those who are curious about the unconventional that taps into those dark pools of emotion? Me thinks the latter.

14. Yup. Plus I don't know what a UFO is doing over Haiti..
We'd (since I'm Haitian) would scare those aliens away. We're the worst type of people to introduce themselves to out of everyone in the human race. We'd probably eat them. ^_^

I mean, I can appreciate that.

18. I agree. I don't know who did it, but when it came out it was all over the place.
I first saw it on my SGA site I used to hang at. A few people knew I was Haitian so they brought it to my attention. But I told them it was hoax. Most actually believed it to be real until someone produced a picture of where the ship came from and they just put it in. But most people were sold on it.

11. Fuck if I know that's real, but I bet they make first contact pretty soon.
You will all see it when it happens.

16. I used to see UFO's every single day.
They were oval shaped aircraft, with two protrusions on one end. Often colorful, some of them landed in trees close to where I lived. They stayed there, never bothering to come down to make their intentions known to the rest of us.

Wait, they may have been Mickey Mouse baloons released by Disneyland patrons, but I can't be sure.

22. There's a DU poll from Jan. 2009
with interesting results.

40% voted that "some UFOs are of extraterrestrial origin".

15 % were not sure if they are extraterrestrial or experimental craft.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x4763728

Some very knowledgeable people on DU tend to keep quiet about subjects like this while the usual know-it-alls keep repeating their tired old banishment rituals.

30. Why would anyone feel the need to point out
that DU polls - or any other polls for that matter - are not exactly scientific?

Since you are assuming that the majority of DUers must be too ignorant to know that statistics are not hard science, why are you casting your pearls of wisdom unto a site populated by 'nuts' whose reasoning capabilities you have judged vastly inferior to your own?

Never mind... rhetorical questions.

27. I used to produce and edit digital video profesionally
and in my opinion it's a fake after a few glances. I could probably reproduce it exactly with the tools I have. The moving lights look very much like "keyframed" movement, and not very smoothly done either. I could have made the same video and had those lights dancing all over the place.

29. See that is one thing that bothers me about skeptics at times
not so much you old friend, I am talking principal here and you provided me a good place to rant.

James Randi and crew often use the same argument: I could do that (make a video, sounds on tape, etc and so on) as though they being able to do so means that the person submitting the evidence they have gathered did so.

I am always critical of evidence, even when it is against someone like bush I might add, and while I want to believe (ala fox mulder) I need further proof and don't just accept videos as proof - but on the same hand I don't dismiss them out of hand either because I am able to make fake ones.

As I have mentioned elsewhere I have captured evp's on tape (well, no physical tape, digital voice recorder) - and I set out to do so simply because I wanted to see if what other people were saying was really going on. Captured some really clear ones and some rather frightening ones - does not mean they are ghosts, but are pretty hard to explain. Some would say 'oh they are fake cause I can make fake ones and since they don't exist yours have to be fake' and people like that just won't ever climb out of the box they have built for themselves out of ignorance. Of course, they going out themselves for many hours trying to replicate my experiment won't happen - they won't disprove it occurs because they can't, and since they don't have an answer they claim it is fake.

Lastly, I have heard from some skeptics, even here, that they would put more credence in ufos if someone just had a clear video of them instead of the shaky, blurry, ones. someone produces one and they jump and call it staged/faked because it is too clear. They may well be right and it is fake, but to me dismissing something as fake because you don't believe is pretty silly - especially given the vast amount of people across the globe and throughout history who have claimed to see such craft (we would believe those same people if they said bush did something wrong probably though).

You only find proof if you look for it. And basing a search on millions of eye witnesses to me sounds like a good idea - whether it be ghosts or ufos. Ignoring all those witnesses because one does not want to believe is just dumb :)

35. disks emerging
Re the first two, I watch a lot of UFO clips and read extensively on the subject. I have never seen anything like the first two, where the object has other disks emerge from it or join in the line-up. I have, however, read of many reports of this type of thing happening.
