Still believe in flying saucers? NJ prank catches UFO buffs

I especially like the reactions to the flares attached to helium balloons.

"They just zipped off...: :rofl:

1. Cripes even the Freepers reacted!
Mostly with derision against those who were fooled...

2. This is on You Tube.
Comments from one of the posts:

These are the lights I saw in New Jersey on Monday January 5, 2009. It was around 8:30 near Morristown. My friend and I initially thought it was an airplane, but after a few minutes we could clearly see it wasn't an airplane or anything we can explain. The entire formation was rising and dipping as well as making sharp turns which would rule out any floating object. It would hover for a few minutes then suddenly change direction. It did not drift with the wind. It was very high up and eventually took off into the distance. Did anyone else see this??????????? I also took some still shots.


Immediately there are several comments saying its a hoax, telling exactly how it was accomplished, but the believers persist:

there are at least 7 different camera angles from 7 different people i've seen on youtube, each are at a different angle and it appears that they do form a triangular shape, unfortunately each camera i've seen just shows black and the lights, no one thought to show the horizon and help people viewing understand what exactly they are looking at, could be 7 different angles of campers with pink paper over flashlights, or an elaborate hoax, due to poor camera shooting we will never know...


Go to the the UFO Hunters site on the History Channel webpage and you will see this incident is pretty credible in a 3 minute video. They debunked the idea it may be laterns or flares. This is a multi-witness event including by a pilot and an air traffic control tower. Finally one of the objects did take off to the south at high speed according to the clip posted there.


My whole street saw them, we have seen other UFO aircraft too with great speed that hover in daylight, so we know they are not flares. We will be seeing them regularly and the debunkers will have a hard time debunking!

3. I just posted a comment.
The true believers usually fall into 3 categories:

Those who are simply nuts

Those who have an agenda

Those who are cashing in
