It’s just bugs. I saw a whole discovery or history show on this crap. It was one of those ghost/ufo shows and they spend the whole episode talking about what sort of supernatural or extraterrestrial crap it could be and that casually toss in a few times that it’s just bugs and birds that make these visual effects happen and that’s it easy to replicate.
Gnats and/or other small airborne insects. In a freshly tilled and graded field of wet/moist dirt — right where the camera sits. In close proximity to numerous lakes, reservoirs, creeks, and other standing bodies of water. Denver’s filled with them and surrounded by them.
Ripe location for all kinds of flying insects in a pre-winter mating frenzy during an unseasonably warm fall for Denver.
Whatever. The UFO game is way old and way busted. We ALL already know that.
When one lands in public and an occupant emerges and clearly indicates the existence of UFO’s — much less the existence of supremely advanced hyper-intelligent intergalactic space travelers — then we’ll have an actual ‘Dude?’.
Otherwise — this is merely just more UFO chicanery. It’s one of the oldest Rick Roll‘s in the book. Right up there with Bigfoot videos and Ghost Hunters. Seriously — save this crap for April 1st or Halloween.
Gee, I’ve never seen a mylar party balloon caught up in the wind before. Probably a Party City store in a shopping center beneath where the balloons UFOs are being spotted.
If McCain gave two sh1ts about the dead Ambassador he wouldn’t have been giving partisan speeches while missing critical meetings.
Neither he, nor any of you care about Benghazi. It’s all about Obama.

If I believed you’d give a respectable and intellectually honest reply, I’d take the time to ask you for your proof. Seeing that I won’t bother…even you aren’t so stupid to get my point, are you? ROFL@you and your projection!
Really, though, if the phenomena is really this repeatable/predictable, it would be easy to set up a few cameras at different locations and triangulate to get distance/size. Then get closer to the location and take high res ultra-fast video to identify it.
Funny that a headline article can send us to a CNN link but CNN links are blocked in our postings.
slickwillie2001 on November 16, 2012 at 6:17 PM
huh? Haven’t heard anything like that…or can’t even think of any good reason for it. But then, I never thought just a few days ago that Wonder Bread and Drake’s coffee cakes weren’t gonna be around anymore. Nothing surprises me any more.
I am far from any UFO expert…if there even is such a thing…but for whatever reason, I’ve been consumed by intense interest in the whole extraterrestrial thing for the past year. I’m no conspiracy theorist, nor do I buy into anything blindly.
But I’m at a point where I’m absolutely convinced something is going on…and the Roswell crash was no “Project Mogul” balloon. Not even close.
For the best evidence of ET UFO’s, read up on the Rendelsham Forest incident of 1980…if only because of the caliber of reliable and believable witnesses involved.
It’s a digital camera with a glitch in one of its memory cards, or a defect in the algorithm which records successive frames.
If this were real, you would see evidence of it in other spectrums: like RADAR, infrared, etc.
landlines on November 16, 2012 at 6:54 PM
Not necessarily…If you read through reams of airline pilot reports of sometimes immense objects they report visuals on, they’re not always picked up on radar, yet one or more pilots, and even passengers in some instances (look up the JAL incident flight transcript and tape).
And there are examples of photos taken in tandem with digital video recorder and infared spectrum video recorder side by side, and these anomalies appear only in infrared.

Forget these jokers.
dgarone on November 16, 2012 at 5:19 PM
I’m also 90% sure I saw an article with experts debunking this video confidently as insects close to the camera.
dgarone on November 16, 2012 at 5:20 PM
McCain says this is linked to Benghazi. He wouldn’t have time to watch the video though, due to “scheduling conflict”.

Never forget.

The Art Bell crowd calls this type of phenomenon “Rods”.
“Inter-dimensional beings”, “skyfish” or bugs flying past a camera? You decide.

Seeing as he’s the president of the United States it better be about Obama.

Forget the UFO’s. From the looks of the arm holding the pointer, it was all filmed by Sasquatch.

At least one was a bird. The others were most likely insects.

What, you mean like flying to a campaign event in Vegas almost immediately after hearing of the incident?
Do you know what a lemming is, Lester? A zombie? Drone? Tool? Useful idiot? Sycophant? Sure you do, you’re an expert.
