Video:- Lake Wales, Florida, 19th August 2008

HopoUK

This video intrigued me enough to post on here. What do you make of this guys? What could that object be that is very slowly moving from the top right of the moon to about lower right, or as a clock, 1 to 5. There are several probes orbiting the moon right now, especially from NASA, China, and Japan. Could they have filmed one of those catching the rays of the sun?

I think this is a mildly interesting video, Hopo. It is definitely moving too slowly for an airplane but it certainly doesn't rule out something in Earth orbit. I would think that any man-made object in lunar orbit would be too small to see, even if it was catching the sunlight.

I really like the videographer's commentary. I've often said that, if I were ever lucky enough to videotape an object, part of my commentary would be date, place, type of camera equipment, witnesses, etc. At least this kid has the presence of mind to say what type of video camera he has. I can't help but think that these kind of details can help a serious researcher rule out what the object is not. I do wish that he would have added in some shots that would have helped place this event in time and space. When all you have are a couple of light sources with no visible points of reference, you need something to prove that you are indeed capturing what you say you are. As it is, all you have are two unidentifiable light sources - you really can't even tell that the larger object is the moon - we kind of have to take the videographer's word for it.

Here is the clip from youtube - I think it may be a little more complete:

This videographer indicates that he was not the only person filming the object. This may be one of the few cases I'm aware of in which the UFO was captured by multiple video cameras. Even though this is probably not a truly anomalous object, the incident presents perhaps a unique opportunity for investigation and research.

Thanks for that Skep. It led me to part 2 of this video. This time, there are 2 objects. Someone commented on Youtube that it was the moon moving, while the object is a stationary planet, maybe Venus or Mars. However, now 2 have appeared, so I don't think they were planets. I hope that some researcher can interview the witnesses, and maybe search to see what was in the night sky during that evening.

I agree Skep,if those objects were orbiting the moon you can bet your last dollar they wouldnt be visible from earth,however that doesnt mean this isnt an interesting video,I tend not to trust them anymore,but this one really is at least curious.
