UFO in Gun Camera Footage?

Wednesday August 13, 2008
I am not quite sure what to think about a video I saw on youtube.com recently. The film is allegedly from Israel: a pilot is flying over the country of Syria, when he is joined by a large UFO. The film appears to be authentic as to its quality and overall appearance, but we all know what can be done today with 3-D software. If this video could be authenticated, it certainly would put a big notch in a UFO believer's belt.

As I understand it, the video was originally seen as part of a DVD, "Jamie Maussan & Santiago Garza UFOs Over Mexico." Maussan is a controversial, yet very popular personality in Mexico, and a big proponent of the reality of UFOs. In all fairness, he is only promoting what is supposedly Israeli gun camera footage.

Maussan was the man who was largely responsible for getting out the information to the world on the 2004 Mexican military footage, and has to be lauded for his dedication. Check out the video, and tell us what you think about the film.

This is certainly a cracking video, fake or real i’m yet to decide, looking forward to hear what more people think.

Nice video. I don’t think it will do much to help the cause. A UFO practically landed at Ohare for crying out loud, what did that do… nothing. I think it’s going to take an alien to visit the AP and allow DNA analysis.
We need something bigger! We need more Dr. Edgar Mitchell’s, or maybe a bunch of high ranking inside contacts with classified documents to blow the cover off this. I just don’t think even the greatest video is going to help much. Too easy for the debunkers to knock them down.

That video has been around a while now, but it certainly appears to be real (the video itself). Those objects also appear to be 3 dimensional, physical objects in the sky.

I personally think we’re all going to find out, and soon, that there were literally hundreds of these thing in the sky at any given time, maybe for years and years. The Internet now allows for us to collectively see them and understand this versus only local pockets of people in the past. This exposure will, given the time, ultimately solve this mystery.

The problem which remains, as I see it, is that there is too much on the line and at risk for the governments of the world, especially the US, to admit they’ve been lying all this time. This to me makes it more likely that the false flag operation may be the way they do it.. otherwise, it will happen outside of their control and that is the one thing they fear more than anything… loss of control. (off my soapbox now!)

Some years ago I was travelling on a train
and looking out the window I saw between two white clouds a dark grey shape which was stationary until it passed behind the lefthand
white cloud. It was identical to the Jul 4 Somerset UK video. It was no plane I assure you. It was only seeing youtube.com I confirmed it to myself.

This is either a frisbee or a light from a lamppost with the post removed.

B.Johnston, what are you talking about??? Here’s my advice to you “Go Away”.

It’s interesting. It would be more interesting to hear the communications between the pilots and the controller. UFO on radar or visual confirmation? Nope, nothing like that from what I saw and heard. Or see an official document pertaining to this encounter.

I remember some show I watched long ago. It had a Russian jet (I think) following a cigar shaped object that eventually sped off. It was pretty cool and more impressive than this video, but I don’t know if it was any more authentic.

Maussan and his show is supposed to be the Mexican equivalent of a 60 Minutes, and I suppose he’s somewhat of a Mike Wallace in stature. But if he is going to start believing everything he sees, calling them aliens and UFOs, and not investigate these cases in depth to find their true value, then I think he has crossed the line of no return from UFO investigator to UFO believer. I don’t think that’s an advantage if you want to find what’s real and what isn’t.
