Video of UFO over Haiti

Wednesday August 15, 2007
Haiti Frame GrabThe hottest UFO report making the Internet rounds right now is a www.youtube.com video allegedly taken in the country of Haiti. This 20 second video supposedly shows two cutting edge UFOs flying over the palm trees of the tropical paradise. It is a great film to watch, but the question is: "Is it real?" Well... it depends on who you listen to. Most of the folks I have discussed this video with say it is an obvious hoax. Yet, again, those who believe that the video is real are very adamant about its authenticity. This certainly falls into the category of "too good to be true." This distinction should not even be considered. Is it not possible for there to be a good clear video of a UFO?

Although the video is more than likely a computer generated production, there are other criteria that one should consider, and this is where the authenticity of the video comes into question for me. Who took the film? No one knows. What city was it taken in? We are not told. Were there any other witnesses besides the videographer who took the film? We don't know. What are the details of the sighting and the reason that the cameraman had a cam-corder ready to go? We don't know that either. If we had some of these details, that would go a lot farther in proving this film was real. Take a look and see what you think at Haiti UFO Video.

Awesome video! I sure don’t know how to determine if it is real or fake.

(2) Timothy says:

This is funny - this video has been reported as being from Haxaii, Haiti, Central America, and Colombia so far…

(3) Kevin says:

No way! Just too convenient for one to have a camcorder taking shots of an empy sky and a couple UFO’s pop right into the middle of the screen? As mentioned in the article… we know not who took it… where it’s from for sure… and the crafts bank as they accelerate upward. I don’t think an antigravity craft would bank like that. It wouldn’t need to if gravity isn’t acting on it. Unless they integrated some jet engines into the design… Not likely! I don’t buy it. But that’s my opinion.

Easy to fake using tracking software & 3D - look at mine on YouTube - type in “Heathrow UFO” and see what comes up - nice design of the UFOs though…I like the little lights in the sky as well…if it is real though, I’ll eat my hat…hats off to those 3D guys…:)

Most that will call this video a “hoax” right off the bat, are the same people that go to church and pray to “God”. If you question something that you CAN see, that how is it that you believe in something that you CAN’T see?

(7) Adrian Collins - Los Angeles says:

Try this, as validation:
As the spaceship passes over the water tower at the beginning of the video, stop the video. You can see a tiny reflection of the light on the top of the water tower, lending credibility.

(8) Adrian says:

This link - http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=3be_1187364908 - really makes you wonder. You want to dismiss it, but the guy yelling “What’s up?!” “What’s up?!” Seems reasonable. I went to Vue 6 3Ds software sight, and it’s got nothing like this. But, wouldn’t this sort of thing gather the entire world’s attention immediately?

August 20, 2007 at 4:04 pm
(9) Canadian Alien says:

It was made with Vue 6 Esprit software I believe… notice the palm trees are all the same!!! I cant understand why this video is in question or even makes news. Check out the video presentation on the web site:

(10) The Flying Fisherman says:

It is not uncommon today to have a video camera handy. I noticed that as the UFO’s get out of the focusing range of the camera that they go out of focus. This is common in all auto focus cameras they can’t focus on the sky. However, I am not sure that these are genuine alien space craft. They do not look anything like any reports I have seen or read about. Also the lights in the background are suspicious. I am thinking that the video is of models and that the lights in the back ground were added to the video but this is only a guess.

August 20, 2007 at 10:59 pm
(11) Liketanyanot says:

Is it possible that if this isn’t a fake that this is US black op military technology? (I can’t get one person to tell me what the NSA exactly *does* by the way, perhaps this has something to do with it?) Could it have been created through so-called reverse engineering with the supposed alien technology-for-human exchange that’s been going on for (again, supposedly) so long? (I am sure most of you here are already fully acquainted with this, but for newbies and the uninitiated, check out www.disclosureproject.org and also additional interviews with the organizer Dr. Steven Greer and all of the participants for back story. I have not read the book, but I also have been told that The Day After Roswell covers this topic as well.) There are a lot of interviews and documents I have read that talk about the US being less than ten years away from mass production of anti-gravity devices, and in the video, there is a clear sound the UFOs make– like an airplane. Of course, there may have been an airplane flying by at that moment off camera, but in most of my reading/watching, I have heard that they make no noise. My guess is (if it’s real) is that it could very well be the US’s. I am pretty sure we have a military presence in Haiti, or at the very least, secret bases around the globe where palm trees are found. And of course if it’s not of US military, or any other man-made country of origin, I think it would be absolutely fantastic if it were real and of extraterrestrial (or is that interdimensional?) origin!

Hello I am no authority on U.F.O.s but I dont qestion it. I believe it certainly looks like a U.F.O. Why would anyone report seeing and having photos of a U.F.O. for 5 minutes of glory. I dont think so. Amorte Yvonne

(15) Lesly says:

This video was concluded a hoax on coasttocoastam but then George Noory said that there were a real Haiti ufo sighting some eleven, twelve years ago..? That’s what would’ve been interesting to seee.

WHOMVER DID THIS STUPID VIDEO NEEDS TO HAVE THEIR ASS BEAT SEVERLY AS UFOS ARE NO JOKE AND YOU SHOULD BE IN TROUBLE!!!!!!! ON A MORE SERIOUS NOTE, GROW UP , AND PERHAPS ONEDAY YOU WILL REALIZE HOW STUPID YOU WERE BY ALL OF THIS!!!

(19) Su says:

I know there are a lot of questionable information in this video. And I amn’t some film expert to tell it is hoax or not. However!!! I have seen one fly objective that very similar to that one in the viedo in Lexington, midnight, March, 2007. The “UFO” I saw also has one big light and around 5 smaller lights on the bottom.
What did I see? I have no idea. Is the video fake? I probably won’t say no…

August 29, 2007 at 7:15 pm
(20) Eric says:

See comment #9. He is absolutely right. If you watch that software’s demo, the trees are identical. Let it go. Some UFO’s are certainly from other places than Earth, I firmly believe and know. These are not.

August 29, 2007 at 7:48 pm
(21) Sally says:

Don’t think it’s real. I do believe that UFOs do exist whether they are from outer space or our own space system. If I saw this in the sky, I wouldn’t be making a little noise as in the beginning of the clip. I wouldn’t be standing there either. Most of us would run like h e double tooth picks.

(22) dave says:

his was photographed way to well..for it to be real…the pans and zooms are just to perfect…if it were real the person taking it would be scared “#$&*$” to say the least.

The video clearly shows the object is a weather balloon, a weather balloon, a weather balloon…..

yeah, it’s a fake. I saw the report on the news, it’s all cg. the guy who made it had to go into hidding from all the believers. they are so mad that he has death threats.

(26) steve says:

look at the stars and clouds. They disappear before the object passes. One frame they are there and the next they are gone. Cut and paste -poorly done too. Reminds me of 405 type animation.

(27) J Smith says:

SORRY TO RUIN THE FUN, BUT I SAW A EARLIER RENDENTION OF THE SAME FOOTAGE THAT IS INDEED A CG ANIMATION. THIS SECOND RENDENTION IS MUCH BETTER AND LOOKS MORE REAL THAN THE FIRST ATTEMPT AT CREATING A UFO VIDEO. IF YOU SEARCH ON YOUTUBE FOR “ALIENS” or “UFOs” YOU WILL EVENTUALLY FIND THE ROUGH DRAFTS OF THIS EXACT FOOTAGE. THANKS, AND SORRY TO RUIN THE FUN.

(28) Ty says:

Anyone that believes in UFO’s and aliens are week minded FOOLS. Let’s get some facts straight right now:
1. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN, NOR WILL THERE EVER BE PROOF THAT UFO’S OR ALIENS EXIST. WHY? BECAUSE THERE ARE NO SUCH THINGS.
2. REFER TO #1.
3. I WILL PAY ANYONE $1 MILLION DOLLARS FOR PROOF OF EITHER ALIENS OR UFO’S.

(30) cu2 says:

It took many years for humans to believe in the story book of the bible
and now there are millions who believe in that fantasy. We’ve been watched for millions if not billions of years.
These beings from other galaxies are here to observe for the time being. watching as we over populate this earth and slowly destroy the ecosystem.
It will be another century before the masses begin to believe in these beings. The fact that we as human being have the capability of denying ourselves the truth is very typical.
sometime in the very near future we will see these beings expose themselves for who they are and what their mission is. So far they have been observing. which is good.Their technology is far more advanced then our own. We’ve only begun to understand the energies that exists in space. Dark and cosmic energy just to name a few. There are other energies out there that we don’t know how to harness or even understand.

August 30, 2007 at 10:38 am
(31) Jack Morgan says:

There is no way that this is real. For one it was not even filmed in Haiti. I have been there and it does not look anything like that. This to me looks like it could be Palm Springs or something like that. For all of you that believe this is real get a clue this is just a hoax and a pretty good one too.

August 30, 2007 at 10:48 am
(32) Gary says:

Those are cool looking vehicles, but they don’t look as advanced as the UFO’s featured in pictures and film of the past. You know, flying saucers, spinning disks. Now those were cool.

August 30, 2007 at 10:50 am
(33) Ruben says:

Hey this ufo looks like the millenium falcom from star wars but with some littles ligts above. i think this is a fake one like the ufo of Mexico city, somebody make it with a toy and a good software.

(34) tony the new UFO myth killer as of Today says:

The designs of every air/space craft on the planet earth come from the mind of human beings. Even though we create variations around the world, the general look and workings are all similar. So even if there was such thing as UFO’s from other planets/places, why would we make the assumption that they would even remotely look or act like something that a human from earth would create???
Probably, mainly, because we are grasping for something to believe in. And No UFO space craft designed with physical attributes like those of earth could enter the earth’s atmosphere without being detected by some observing citizen, scientist, equipment, or science/governmental entity, etc. Note: Our Space Shuttle doesn’t just appear from space without fire, sonic-boom, radar detection, visuals, etc. Our space crafts [even including meteors, etc.] can’t interrupt the rotation of the earth or break into the atmosphere without being noticed! So why, if UFO’s are physical like us and our space crafts, would we think a UFO could sneak onto earth unnoticed? Maybe if we portrayed UFO’s as being invisible, spiritual, non-physical, etc. then it might make sense [this of course is actually more biblical].

Have you UFO lovers ever thought that maybe we are the last physical beings still existing in our major region of space [all else has died out]. That’s why when we look trillions of miles into space we find no life like ours [the planets in our system were the last to hold life and die out, and we are eventually next]. Wouldn’t some beings have to be the last to go at some point [this is ignoring the biblical concept, as most of you do]?

When you use logic and common sense, UFO’s never made any sense in the first place. And because the government/science would most likely be the first to know, someone would have leaked it by now. So obviously the video has to be a hoax ! Sorry to be so long winded!

(35) ed W. says:

I agree with this article.
A lot more goes into looking into a case than some video that quite easily these days could have been fabricated.

We need the other aspects of this, and not just the video.

(36) F. Flinstone says:

This is defineatly real, how do I know you ask??…the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy told me.

August 30, 2007 at 1:09 pm
(37) Dr. Michael Parmer says:

This is obviously a fake. Listen carefully to the background noise any you will hear jet engines. Aren’t aliens supposed to have high technologies? Also, why do these two objects move as though they were jet planes flying in formation. The speed and motion are consistent with Navy Blue Angels. Finally, why do the objects look suspiciously like the Millenium Falcon of Star Wars fame. This wouldn’t even fool the dullest of wookies!

August 30, 2007 at 1:20 pm
(38) Bobbi says:

For the person that made the comment about those that go to church for “God”… The reason WE believe in something we can not see is called FAITH. If a person is a true believer in God Almighty - you know that there are no “aliens”, but quite a LOT of deception, trying to put fear into people and stray them from God. You think if aliens were real they would just pass by unannounced?? We would all know and fall to our knees in prayer for protection and deliverance.

August 30, 2007 at 1:56 pm
(39) cu2 says:

I’ve had a chance to review what has been said up to this point. Some very good arguments I must say,however It still stands to reason that humans are self centered and tend to close our eyes and cover our ears when some truth comes out. We all like to believe that we are the only living beings in this vast universe. We are only human.
We have evolved from apes and still like to hold on to some of those characteristics. This video and many more like them, may very well be a hoax. however, The fact that we evolved from primates still stands to reason for alot people. The belief that instil on our own children into believing that there is a santa clause or easter bunny. Is quite hilarious.
We should all be ashamed.
This video has created alot of controversy over the fact there is other beings out there that are far more intelligent than humans.
Sorry people they do exist.

With how quickly those UFOs were moving, would you think that the tree would be swaying a lot more than they are? I think about it. Simply concept, amateur error.
This video licks a teabag. Nice try Lucas wannabes!

August 30, 2007 at 3:12 pm
(43) Slugger says:

Fake, look at the treetops in some shots and if you cut and paste one on top of the other, they are exactly identical. Also, the sequencing or order of the ufo’s are suspect. Already have seen the youtube explanation on this a week or so ago.

August 30, 2007 at 4:27 pm
(44) mike says:

software used:
-Vue 6 xStream for sky creation, Palm trees and wind effect.(default startup sky was used)
-3D studio Max or Cinema4D or Maya for ufo animation /models.
-After effects or Combustion for post editing (blur effects and flares in sky)
…..;) good job guys!!!!

August 30, 2007 at 5:03 pm
(45) Gail says:

Kladdo on Aug. 30, wrote “No in Haiti could afford a video camera”. This show how stupid this person is. Kladdo, Your knowledge about Haiti or even your self is absolutely limited. You don’t even know How ignorant you are! You are the ultimate idiot of the millenium! Feces contitutes 99% of your gray matter, a genetic predisposition prevalent in your family! Had you say that this Video is fake, I would agree with you!
Like the writer say, it is impossible to see the location where this event took place. I’ve been to Haiti several time, I can tell you I never saw something that resemble a ” tower “, look at that video and locate that structure. Second, Other people in Haiti would say something, at least one of the thousands radio satation would report something like this. If that was a “haitian work” you would absolutely hear some background noises, because the time this video was taken, is the time the people are getting home from work, that is the time the children play. They would absolutely follow the Cameraman, whoever had that Camera and say something. I have a pretty good idea of the haitain culture. This Video is fake! However, We have to keep our mind open, things happen!

(51) Infinity says:

Its very interesting to read everyones input - the ones with intelligent ideas, ones with silly ones, and the skeptical approach. It seems very clear that the evidence before us is inconclusive. There are too many variables to claim a position without a factual debate. As far as the spiritual approach to the debate - to say God (Christian) would be so limited to create other life and creatures beyond the scope of our intelligence is absurd. If he is ALL MIGHTY then he can DO ANYTHING!

My own opinion, until I experience it in the flesh or someone i know and trust experiences it - i will remain independent in the decision. I would love to know the truth although we, in our lifetimes, will probably never know!

(56) The Infinite Spirit says:

This is ‘The Infinite Spirit.’ We are the occupants who operate the craft you have seen in the video, on the Island Of Haiti. You must use your own mind to make up your own ideas. Your life is in the hands of such craft as you have seen in this video. We are ‘The Power Of The Universe Of Universes’ and we will tell you that this video is correct and true to life. Some of you have said that the trees in the footage are identical, and even though they are very close to identical, they are in fact diferent. These craft are called ‘Destroyers.’ They were there to take 6000 people off the planet, to terminate their lives. They were bad people, and we take bad people ‘out’ when needed. You must understand that the craft in the pictures taken, were not the only ships in view. The skies in the background are filled with others of our kind. Their is really nothing ‘typical’ about so-called UFOs, because there are no two groups that are identical. They are in groups however, but even so, they are still just a little different than each other. We are going to tell you now so that you have been advised: What you see in this and other authentic photos or videos, is the reality of ‘GOD.’ God is Extraterrestrial, and you are his children. We will not need to be more simple or strait forward than this. These craft are all ‘real’ and they are not manufactured by anyone. They are not created, because they are ‘eternal beings.’ They are not actually mechanical, and they do have a mind of their own. They are obedient to the will of The Infinite Spirit (GOD) and they were going about their work. You got to see them in action. The ones who worked the camera were told ahead of time by us (Telepathically) when we would show, and were. Visit this link if you wish ask us any further questions:
