As the person that shot the video, I can guarantee that it is real. While I am pretty good with After Effects, I'm not that good.

The comments previously posted about the shutter speed syncing with the rotors are 100% correct.

To test the theory, take a look at your computer monitor or a TV screen through a video camera. You will see a line moving upwards across the screen. That is the same principle. The screen is blinking in sync with your video camera.

That's the new 6 R.P.M safety rotor system. It goes so slow, if you see it coming for your head ,you can jump out of the way.

Ok, lets settle this...

This video is not fake. The explanation can be found below.

And it is a MD902 Explorer helicopter with a NOTAR system. It uses the Coanda effect for anti-torque thrust. The are 2 slits down the right side of the tail boom that uses differences in air pressure for anti-torque thrust. Also, heading control is done through a large drum at the end of the tail boom that rotates changing the amount of thrust needed to do a pedal turn by the pilot.

It's fucking dangerous to have all those wires at the spot. You might think STFU.. but one of our Apaches hit one of those few months ago. USA should consider to place them under the ground.

It is amazing that people with a high school diploma have to ask if this is a real vid. clip or not. Worse, people with a HS diploma can't figure out why the rotor blades look as if they are barely turning. Schools need to quit teaching so much crap, and teach stuff that people can actually use so they don't seem horribly ignorant.
