I did some research into this, btw. On 5 January 2009 at 20:30 hours, the wind was in the directions of W and NW and ranged from 7 kph to 13 kph (source: free meteo dot com). Yet, plenty of others, including moi, have witnessed red orbs that were not nearly as sluggish as this pathetic experiment (triangulation estimates of change in angle of arc put the airspeed of mine at about 111.96 kph), and didn't follow the wind. Also, no lights like planes. May I be eaten alive by maggots if I am lying.
I'm sure this hoax couldn't be pulled off in my hometown Split. This is what the fans did for the 100th anniversary of the local football team Hajduk:
@EuroStatus1985 well actually...the joke is really on anyone who believes joe and rudy did this. they didn't. this is a real UFO. sound too unbelievable? watch these:
Yep the objects were definitely of intelligent origin; from some creature living on the 3rd planet out from a G type star that is contained within a larger exterior galaxy. No doubt about it.
science win? i think science has lost in this one. UFO still stands for an unidentified object, not an extra terrestrial spaceship. That, is an UFO, no matter how it's just helium balloons. It can't be identified by a normal camera. There's so much evidence of UFO's out there, i think the skeptics are losing this one.
Hah...UFO skeptics made this to show people that the ones who believe in aliens and stuff can't recognize the difference between a cheat and a real UFO...
They were the one's that built it, and they even provided this footage to news channels as proof it was a prank... it just made them sound unsure when he asked "It's too high to be a tower, right?"
This video does not make them seem like the ones who constructed the balloons (even though they are).
1. these are balloons with flairs and they admitted it.
2. if them admitting that they were flares was supposed to cover it up... why didnt they cover up every single other UFO sighting.
3. if it was a UFO, then why is it moving so slow in a non organized way? if they were ufos obviously the aliens are drunk cuz ones way in front and the others are in different positions behind it.
4. and also why after 15 minutes do they magically disapear if they are UFOs?
However why do they emitt the same triangular pattern and ship. This pattern is similar to the ufo they think it is. The ship is a triangular black ufo.

Nice hoax. I just read the Skeptic article myself. Just goes to show how easily these 'sightings' can be faked and how easily they are believed to be aliens as opposed to simply a UFO, by the strictest definition.
It's of course a natural fenomena, due to Mother Earth are constantly "attacked" by meteorits, asteroids and old space-junk, which are destroyed in space, by Mother Earth !
She protects us and destroy every attack, if it's not a big one like the last one, millions years ago, when the dinasours disappeared !
Be glad for that cause, otherwise, we hadn't existed !!!
Oh boy! I got taken-in over here in U.K a year-or-so ago by similar "Chinese Lanterns"I think there called? or at least that was the explanation given in the Media. WHAT IF-the balloons are a diversion, so any time we see glowing orange objects,we say "oh there goes another balloon"....mind you have you noticed how inhuman many World Leaders LOOK, perhaps the Gene-pool is too far gone!!!
I hope you're kidding, this is a hoax. This very video was filmed by the men who put the ballons into the sky. They had road flares tied to helium-filled ballons
if this was in fact a hoax, which i don't believe for a second, then why not replicate it exactly?
why can't anyone use fucking LOGIC? balloons don't fly in formation !! "they" said the same thing about the phoenix lights. but maybe thats what makes you feel more comfortable? believing the answer to be as simple as balloons.

What a shame, they could have put their energy in to something constructive instead like trying to figure out what the massive, silent UFO was that zipped around Texas on January 8, 2008. A sighting in which witness statements were later backed up by FAA radar data. If they have such a great interest in UFO's, instead of making "The Great UFO Hoax of 2008" they could have played a role in unraveling the mystery behind "The Great UFO of 2008." Sad.

My question is, why bother with this? Get a life. If there is something to the whole UFO thing, time will tell, if not, let those who believe continue to "deceive" themselves. People who pull off these hoaxes have less of a life than the people who "believe" in UFOs etc.
I'm not saying it's not easy to "seduce" people into believing something is a UFO. In fact, it's child's play. Anyone can do what these two idiots did.
The hard thing to do would be to to figure out what the unexplained 10-15% of UFO sightings are. Let's see these two knobs tell us that.
They don't have the brains to do that, now do they?
I don't need to prove them wrong. It's not a question of wrong or right. It's a question of how I want to spend my time. These guys are idiots, plain and simple. This is how idiots spend their time. It's stupid on many levels, and the judge in this case agreed, and that's why they got the disorderly conduct charges. Assholes could have started a fire.
well when you say things like let those ppl continue to deceive themselves, then yes i feel like you should prove the contrary. you said anyone can do this, well then show us how balloons can be made to fly in a synchronized pattern.
yeah and i'm sure they really threw the book at these guys. don't be so stupid.
Listen, man. You go ahead and respect these guys for their "radical social experiment". That's your prerogative. Be dumb. I don't care.
Truth is, you can find examples of people deluding and deceiving themselves in many facets of life. People who adhere to religions? Guess what? They're delusional as well.
What they did proves nothing that wasn't previously known. Some people are suckers. You ever hear of PT Barnum?
My challenge remains. 10-15% of UFO known sightings are unknown.
you can look at this shit and tell me that they're balloons? is that what you're agreeing to? if thats the case, you are in no position to tell me i'm dumb.
you sir, are the sucker for believing that the government has your best interesting in mind when it comes to these types of issues. and i'm also sure that no one was actually prosecuted for this, it sounds like a complete cover up.
The people who perpatrated this hoak have been charged with disorderly conduct charge LOL! which really is just a slap on the wrist, making it most likely someone will do this again trying to murkey the waters of the ufo field
Besides having the government lying to us, we also have to stomach these two dishonest IDIOTS doing the same thing. Ridiculous and very sad. I hope someday you take a severe physical punishment for this. Or better, have children and your women always cheating on and lying to you!
You guys are awesome! This was a brilliant social experiment and I can't stop laughing at all the "UFO experts" who swore they could prove this was real. LOL Great job!
Awesome my butt, happy idiot! Since when two retarded men cheating on millions of gullible people are funny??? Maybe in North America this kind of idiocy is seem as scientific and worth anything...
Aww, looks like someone can't take a joke. "my butt"? LMAO! Okily, dokily, Flanders, but it's rightdidilyight a brilliant experiment that foodoodliools like you fell for. The idiots aren't the ones who did this. The idiots are who believed it. Like your lame ass attempt at trying to make people believe you're really in Brazil. You're one of the locals who screamed, "ZOMG! IT'S A UFO!!!1!1" Put the pampers on and go back to your mom's boob until you can play with the grown ups, sensitive wus.
if Aliens actually exist and have capability to travel to our solar system and to this Earth, the first sight of them is that they would laser a giant hole right on your butt.
some people are just not too smart? I mean every astronaut, including the 6th man to walk on the moon, has admitted there are aliens? And many more are coming foreward now? wake up people? they have nothing to gain? I mean seriously, they are only trying to tell the truth!
watch nasa's own video from the columbia mission where they deployed a teather into space. aliens are real, and some of the ufos are biological in the infra red spectrum of light. we just cant see them with the naked eye. life is everywhere.
They just found the guys who did this. The dumbasses made a home video. the news story is a video on Yahoo News, under the U.S. section. It's called Mystery Solved. check it out.
The "dumbasses" here are those who still beleive in this fairy tale flying saucer BS.
At the Skeptic's Dictionary is the full story, about how this was done as a prank, and how the idiots who saw the floating lights and the "news" media went into La-La Land.
Easy to call it a prank AFTER the pranksters came out and admitted it. Where were you when this first came out... probably crapping your pants and believing it like the rest of us... lol
Being the decicated skeptic I am, I consider all these flying saucer storeis to be crap. Period.
UFO's are a fairy tale. One updated for the Cold War and the Space Age. They have nothing to them, never have, never will. The laws of physics, distances in space make flying saucers simply a load of crap.
This is a perfect illustration of the gullibility and propensity of the mass majority of the public towards irrationally and inappropriately filling is the blanks on their experiences with nonsense and unfounded claims and assertions.
And that is exactly how and why we are plagued with UFO, big foot and Nessie sightings, and endless other examples of mass absurdities and silliness.
It is time people start using their brains and Occams Razor.
But it does make it quite interesting since this is the guy that was there and the arizona governor himself as admitted it 2. And many people that work 4 nasa are now coming foreward and admitting this also along with people of very high military credentials too. They all just cant be lying. And this isnt just one astronaut? There have been other astronauts that have now come forward
I remember back there was another guy that went to prison in your state for shining lasers into the sky. This is almost the same thing. Otherwise imagine if everyone was put stuff in the sky? It creates a distraction or a hazard and is illegal.
wow man. what a nerd. Anyone can make it on the news? But someone to get on there admitting they put flares in the sky could be in alot of trouble? As this poses a saftey hazard, and distractions to any pilot, and could even make em crash! You really think funny? So if hes your music teacher? Seriously what a nerd
These were probably flares. But the so called flares in Arizona werent! the governor himself has admitted that he lied in order to not caus mass panic, and has even admitted that he was made to lie, and that it was definatly not goverment tested? especially over the city? But has said they they were spacecraft and he was made to lie! Now all these people cant be lying?
Edward Mitchal that is already admitted all this. And many other high ranking military officials. You sound like a nerd looking 4 attention that your momma never gave you LOL!
Listen Tabby? You sound like a big fat ass with no intellect what so ever? So u mean 2 tell me that edgar mithall? Ya know the guy that actually walked on the moon is lying? He was just on the cnn news admitting aliens exist! You must be a complete dumbass!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I say make em famous! There are aviation laws that were clearly broken! caus you cant just go releasing flares into the air as this could caus an airliner to be destracted and crash? make em famous in jail! LOL!
This was an orchestrated hoax people... It was meant to demonstrate how gullible we (and the media) are. The hoaxers have managed to prove their point spectacularly.
but at the time when i saw this UFO it shown for about crazy 10 minutes. They didn't went off, but were moving very slowly and suddenly they moved at a very high pace and eventually after 12 minutes or so, went out of my site. My whole family witnessed it.
I tend to agree w/ splitpersonality3... the lights did "burn out" one by one...which leads me to believe they were a torch/flare of some kind. What I can't figure out is why nobody has spotted them on the way up, as they need to be launched at one point or another. They just kind of appeared in the sky.
(continued from below)...I dont think its flares on a balloon but both times i could notice the lights seem to be burning and each one would turn off one by one as when u see fire starting to shimmer as its turning off n then its off. Thats exactly what I saw both times and they seem to move with the wind. I know, im disappointed too. I wanted it to be a flying machine, seriously...but i still have yet to witness it, dammit!...
I have been reading about and seeing videos on ufos for the past 20 yrs so as much as I want to witness some sort of cool flying machine ufo, this was not it. I witness them the 2nd time they appeared on jan 30th or so, and i was already aware of the lights having appeared jan 5th so i looked really hard to see what they were. and i got to see them again last night. unfortantely, both times they seem to be some sort of burning object.... continue on next comment"
I saw them last night at about 8:50, there were approx 9 red lights in the southern sky...they appeared to fizzle out one by one...i called me wife downstairs to see them as well, so she didn't think I was losing it. they didn't appear to move as they do in the phoenix red light video, but they were definitely the same thing
just saw these myself tonight, feb. 17th, 2009, with my neighbors...they were in a formation, same color as video, round 9pm....there were 8 or 9...one went off west and didn't return, a couple broke off then came back than they just went off east.
yeh i live in parsippany and just saw them too except they were in like an arrow formation or like a crossbow shape. i definitely dont believe its flares and i think ur ignorant if u fight me about that
just saw the lights over Parsippany at approx 8:45 Tuesday, Feb 17. 12 red lights moving into a formation sending shooting off into the sky. Watched them for about 15 minutes
Awesome video!..a few of my friends in ontario have sween the same thing and have it on camera, these lights have been seen everywhere all month, Helium balloons?? LMFAO!! yeah, right, and pigs fly. WAKE THE FUCK UP FOR YOUR OWN GOOD PEOPLE
Looks like you're the one who needed to "WAKE THE FUCK UP" you silly creduloid moron. Your stupidity and credulity caused you to believe in something that, as was pointed out to you, was complete bullshit. Go get your pointy head examined you freak.
In response to the last poster....Although I did not see them, I also heard that these lights were spotted again in the Randolph, NJ area. Anyone else see anything?
i just saw this same thing tonight in Randolph NJ at about 8:30pm which was about 30 mins ago, really freaking weird, there were only 3 of them tho and just floated for a bit then slowly faded away
the US military is always 20 years ahead of its time, and most is top secret. Your telling me with all the technology in the world, the US military isn't capable of doing something like that? ufo's are bull
I work on a small cargo ship and Iˇve seen the same formation in Germany flying over Keln at daylight. I had an opportunity to use strong binoculars on them. Believe it or not, but they are actually five separate sphered-shaped objects and there is nothing between them. Each sphere was at least 3 meters in diameter and had a transparent shell (like glass cover) and bright light inside, which was vibrating and moving randomly from side to side, but remained in the center of the sphere.
People are saying that this is a metal frame built with flares attached to it. I don't know it's hard to tell but something is up to no good here. Theres no doubt about that.
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!
I don't think it's a dark room, I hear outdoor noises like cars passing and stuff. I'm really not sure about this one. I live in NY and this was on Fox 5 news from jersey.

We have time to drive these issues to the TOP of the submissions ratings and put them into the Citizens Briefing Book before it is closed. This is an unprecedented opportunity. Please act NOW.
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.
@clghitis1 Indeed. And you notice that almost all the UFO conspiracy videos posted on youtube have comments and ratings disabled? That just tells me they're a bunch of hypocrites and narcissists afflicted with delusional fanaticism. Props to the people who planned and executed this hoax, a great way in showing how dim some people are.
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...
I did some research into this, btw. On 5 January 2009 at 20:30 hours, the wind was in the directions of W and NW and ranged from 7 kph to 13 kph (source: free meteo dot com).

My question is, why bother with this? Get a life. If there is something to the whole UFO thing, time will tell, if not, let those who believe continue to "deceive" themselves. People who pull off these hoaxes have less of a life than the people who "believe" in UFOs etc.

i dont agree. this is excellent example how easy is to seduce people who never heard of critical thinking.
svabov 2 years ago 12
I'm not saying it's not easy to "seduce" people into believing something is a UFO. In fact, it's child's play. Anyone can do what these two idiots did.
The hard thing to do would be to to figure out what the unexplained 10-15% of UFO sightings are. Let's see these two knobs tell us that.
They don't have the brains to do that, now do they?
JRCrowley 2 years ago
well why don't you do what these two idiots did and prove them wrong?
ndkid86heart 2 years ago
I don't need to prove them wrong. It's not a question of wrong or right. It's a question of how I want to spend my time. These guys are idiots, plain and simple. This is how idiots spend their time. It's stupid on many levels, and the judge in this case agreed, and that's why they got the disorderly conduct charges. Assholes could have started a fire.
JRCrowley 2 years ago
well when you say things like let those ppl continue to deceive themselves, then yes i feel like you should prove the contrary. you said anyone can do this, well then show us how balloons can be made to fly in a synchronized pattern.
yeah and i'm sure they really threw the book at these guys. don't be so stupid.
ndkid86heart 2 years ago
Listen, man. You go ahead and respect these guys for their "radical social experiment". That's your prerogative. Be dumb. I don't care.
Truth is, you can find examples of people deluding and deceiving themselves in many facets of life. People who adhere to religions? Guess what? They're delusional as well.
What they did proves nothing that wasn't previously known. Some people are suckers. You ever hear of PT Barnum?
My challenge remains. 10-15% of UFO known sightings are unknown.
JRCrowley 2 years ago
And my statement that "known sightings being unknown" is not a typo.
If these guys want to prove how smart they are, they have tons of recorded UFO cases to look through and see if they can explain them.
I guarantee you they don't have 1/10th the scientific skill to prove them as being hoaxes or otherwise.
Any monkey can fake a UFO. Even you.

you can look at this shit and tell me that they're balloons? is that what you're agreeing to? if thats the case, you are in no position to tell me i'm dumb.

UFOs are real.
There really are some very interesting things flying in and out of our atmosphere.
It's no longer a question of whether or not they exist, it's a question of what they are.
There are a lot of very intelligent people working to remove the stigma associated with UFOs, and to figure out exactly what these things are.
It really doesn't help things when people like you create B.S. videos like this.

The "dumbasses" here are those who still beleive in this fairy tale flying saucer BS.

Archae06 2 years ago 4
This was a prank, add human imagination primed by decades of media garbage about flying saucers, and even so-called "trained eyes" can be fooled.
I saw a UFO late year, it even chaged shape as I approached!
Turned out to be a group of balloons tied together and tethered to a local car dealership.
The true believers fall into 3 categories:
Those who are nuts
Those who have an agenda
Those who are simply cashing in

Being the decicated skeptic I am, I consider all these flying saucer storeis to be crap. Period.
UFO's are a fairy tale. One updated for the Cold War and the Space Age. They have nothing to them, never have, never will. The laws of physics, distances in space make flying saucers simply a load of crap.

Sorry to have to tell you this Archae06, but you're a moron.
It's one thing to be skeptical, it's another to arrive at certainties via a weak understanding of the laws of physics.
Everybody should be a 'dedicated skeptic' but that's not what you are.
Your certainty about something that we still know so little just makes you another mindless moron.

Cobalstraights,
This is a perfect illustration of the gullibility and propensity of the mass majority of the public towards irrationally and inappropriately filling is the blanks on their experiences with nonsense and unfounded claims and assertions.

But it does make it quite interesting since this is the guy that was there and the arizona governor himself as admitted it 2. And many people that work 4 nasa are now coming foreward and admitting this also along with people of very high military credentials too. They all just cant be lying. And this isnt just one astronaut? There have been other astronauts that have now come forward

I remember back there was another guy that went to prison in your state for shining lasers into the sky. This is almost the same thing. Otherwise imagine if everyone was put stuff in the sky? It creates a distraction or a hazard and is illegal.

wow man. what a nerd. Anyone can make it on the news? But someone to get on there admitting they put flares in the sky could be in alot of trouble?

I tend to agree w/ splitpersonality3... the lights did "burn out" one by one...which leads me to believe they were a torch/flare of some kind. What I can't figure out is why nobody has spotted them on the way up, as they need to be launched at one point or another. They just kind of appeared in the sky.

(continued from below)...I dont think its flares on a balloon but both times i could notice the lights seem to be burning and each one would turn off one by one as when u see fire starting to shimmer as its turning off n then its off.

I have been reading about and seeing videos on ufos for the past 20 yrs so as much as I want to witness some sort of cool flying machine ufo, this was not it. I witness them the 2nd time they appeared on jan 30th or so, and i was already aware of the lights having appeared jan 5th so i looked really hard to see what they were. and i got to see them again last night. unfortantely, both times they seem to be some sort of burning object.... continue on next comment"

I work on a small cargo ship and Iˇve seen the same formation in Germany flying over Keln at daylight. I had an opportunity to use strong binoculars on them. Believe it or not, but they are actually five separate sphered-shaped objects and there is nothing between them. Each sphere was at least 3 meters in diameter and had a transparent shell (like glass cover) and bright light inside, which was vibrating and moving randomly from side to side, but remained in the center of the sphere.

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.
