Then 90% of these alien videos wouldn't even exist.Could be insanely awesome CGI, or H.A.R.P hologram technology. Regardless it does look cool as fuck! I'm a complete newbie and I still can do better than any of the shots in the video of the OP. Just google "match moving" with whatever 3d software and you'll find dozens of tutorials on youtube explaining how to add UFOs to any videos in just a few minutes. You don't need to overthink the explanation of it. If it's a weird cloud formation or lens effect. 99% of them have a much simpler explanation, just video editing made by a random amateur. | ||

It's actually pretty small of a chance. Think of the entire universe as a black square, and time is represented by time looking at the black square. In terms of the life of the universe, the duration of life on earth has been rediculously small. So picture, if you will, as from the start of life on earth to the end of life on earth as a small white dot on teh square that flashes on, then off once life is gone. Now imagine if we scaled the lifetime of the universe to 24 hours of viewtime on the square. We would see many flashes flashing like crazy. And (i forget his name... gah...) some statiscal scientist came to a ballpark figure that the chances of 2 flashes occuring at once AND those lifeforms both being able to travel space AND be close enough to meet... is less than 1 millionth of a percent chance. Bummer eh? | ||

Bummer eh? And that's taking into account that the universe is (basically, as far as we'll probably ever know) infinite? 'cause 1millionth of a percent. There's more planets than that in the universe - no? | ||

Again, that probability is the probability that is A) has to happen, and B) smart and close enough to actually visit and meet. (which is the circumstances that would have to exist in order to see UFO's and for them to be real) | ||

As a basic analogy for how you should think of the world: Right now, I don't know how much money is in my wallet. It could be anything, $100, $5, $1. Knowing that I am a starving college student, certain things are more likely than others. I can't entirely eliminate the possibility that I have $100 in my wallet, or $99, or $98, and so on. (I know I have no coins). So essentially, there are 101 possible amounts of money for me to have, every discrete integer from $0 to $100 inclusive. Just because I have no evidence, does NOT at all mean that there is a 1% chance of $1, 1% for $2, and 1% for $100. It is FAR more likely that I have a small amount of cash. Probably something like 50% $0, 49% $1, and a fraction of a percent for other outcomes. There are other factors that come into probability even if you dont know what they are. Similarly, there is a light in the sky. It could certainly be aliens, I concede that fact. It could also have 99 possible terrestrial explanations. Just because its possible that its aliens ($100) does not make it likely. Not knowing how much money I have, I would not act as if I had $100 to spend. Similarly, not knowing what the light in the sky was, I will not act as if its aliens. | ||

Just because you can't disprove something doesnt make it true. For example: I'm sitting on an elephant in the zoo posting on TL using their WIFI. Prove me wrong. Oh you cant? Well I guess we have to believe that zoos really are letting people use elephants for chairs. The objective, scientific odds that an alien has visited us is so astronomically high that it's probably more likely that my story is true. I'm sure you've seen much more evidence for WIFI at zoos, and elephants existing, than you have for aliens. And if you believe in aliens, you might as well believe that I have Elephant Sue under my butt, sniffing my laptop | ||
