This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Sorry, even if ABC News covered this story, this is still "Coast to Coast AM" type conspiracy trash and evidence that "news media" ain't doing their job.

UFO's count as what TOS calls "paranoid fantasies with little or no basis in fact."

The most-liked comment on this local news article about the story says, "Good grief... it amazes me how many people don't understand basic optics in a camera these days. Those two "floating lights" are just a 'lens flare' image of the deers eyes... and the two lobes that drop from them are the ears!" http://www.wlox.com/story/25156516/ufo-mysterious-floating-light-caught-on-camera-in-cumbest-bluff

Furthermore, this user "watchingoveryou" registered just yesterrday, and the username reeks of "conspiracy theorist".

And for those of you reluctant to hide this UFO story, OK I'm willing to acknowledge this should be moved to Creative Speculation, but I just don't think this thread belongs in General Discussion. Still given the user who posted this I think MIRT oughta get involved.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Even though this is probably true, just as we now know it's true that aliens created crop circles, I vote to hide this but only because.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I have low tolerance for this kind of stuff. It's obvious that it's the deer's eyes, same width. Those IR lights are BRIGHT and animals adapted for night vision reflect quite a bit of light back.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: leave it
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Why not hide this entire thread using Skinners patented 'Trash This Thread' thingy and move on.
