I am glad that the video has surfaced, not because I believe in the existence of UFOs, but because that man was my grandfather and it is wonderful to hear his voice and to see his face. Thanks for sharing. In fact, the video is real, the people are real and I think that my grandfather knew it was a ruse, but was having fun with it just the same.
@pappajinx, The “black tape interference” are drop outs that plagued EIAJ recordings. How can lowering frame rate make a fake when NTSC B&W was 30 fps? How can you desaturate B&W? LOL! I was the person who shot this video in 1976 on a Sony AV-3400 "portapak". Lens on camera was garbage. If you truly believe that this was shot in HD, might I suggest you look into Lasik eye surgery? No one forced you to log in to present your presumptuous, arrogant and uniformed comments as a poser video expert.
@dekuch hate to ruin your "anti conspiracy theory" rant, but I was actually at the site a few days after it happened as a kid! So, go pound sand up your arse!
@06EQUJ50 Good for you buddy, you may have been there a few days after it happened; so what does that prove? Re-read my post. I shot the video. My friends arranged the aircraft lights on the back road that shone through the trees and bounced off the clouds. No conspiracy and no theory. It was delusional people who wanted to see UFOs so we gave them UFOs. The event is a farce, but the video is real. Pick the sand out of your eyes.
A few tips for you. Don't add so much electrical tape interference, the effect you've used is not consistent with the film of that time. desaturate all the mid tones, and tone the footage down to a more "matt" finish. Add a lot more "pixel noise" as was so prominent in 1960s/1970s build lenses. Stick the camera on a tripod and don't move around so much or get a camera without image stabilization and most importantly, DROP THE FRAME RATE!!!!
You a-hole, you made me log in just to comment on this rubbish!! ...Totally a FAKE video. This shit was reverse rendered in some movie editing software. Too high def, and the way the camera moves around with the background in such sharp focus, I'm sorry but the lenses of the time for the type of footage this video is trying to recreate just don't have that advanced depth of field as they do today! ...Man, you can even tell this video was done on a HD Memory card or HDD camcorder, and not tape.
Way too good of quality for amateur 70's film. Religious symbolism with the cross and healing water. Complete bullshit, totally out there from the real 50s-60s encounters. The real encounters have atheist messages. I hope that technology does not soon allow people willing to corrupt historical evidence to do so.
Really amazing to see this footage! I remember all the reporters & people showing up to Nash's farm. We would go & lie in the back of the old Ford truck, waiting to see the UFO's. Too funny!
to be honest, this doesn't look like actual footage from the 70's. It looks like someones college project. The audio just doesn't sound right. I'm not going to watch part two, but I'm sure at some point a somewhat real looking ufo is going to show up.
