Occam's Razor - what's more likely, this dude can actually summon UFOs on a whim, in which case he'd be the subject of a ton of legit study because actual alien contact would be a historically big deal, or this guy is a charlatan, likely with an accomplice or two and is doing it for the attention?
You're quickly becoming that "They can't put it on the Internet if it's not true" lady from that TV ad a couple years ago. Everything you've posted has been a big "Bonjour."
Accomplice? didn't catch the part where the news team picked the time and place? that's the difference between the two video's, you don't get to set the conditions with Penn and Teller.
Wow, so the news team called the guy ahead of time, likely days ahead of time. That certainly doesn't give him time to set things up. Nope.
Quote:The shaky cam just means that the camera is at max zoom.
It was clearly a sphere and radio controlled craft cant get that altitude, at least not affordable ones, use your brain.
Which is why I also said balloon.
Quote:Also, what would be the motive in creating this elaborate hoax, money defiantly wasn't one.
Like I said before, attention. Plenty of people go through great lengths just to be recognized.
Quote:The ironic thing is that your explanations are just as ridiculous, "hey! it's a High flying RC crafts that happens to be a glowing sphere."
Reflective material, most likely.
Quote:You guys trying to offer a logical explanation instead of conceding that you just don't know, would mean that you believe everything in the universe to be known.
I think we've all stated that we don't know exactly what the video shows. The difference between us is that we don't jump directly to a supernatural reason for whatever it is that's happening because that's the classic God of the Gaps fallacy. There are plenty of things that cast doubt on his claims (like, why didn't he try the trick in front of scientists? or church leaders if he indeed found some sort of super biblical truth? why didn't the UFOs do anything but fly high and far enough away as to be indistinct?).
You tell us to use our brains, and post a bunch of supernatural nonsense with the typical "You can't explain that, therefore god" BS that has never, ever won any kind of intellectually honest debate. Why? Because everyone here can provide rational alternatives grounded in reality, and, logically, the lack of definitive evidence for one explanation (it's likely something simple, like a balloon) is NOT evidence for another (it must be god).
That mentality is the definition of ridiculous. And sad, since you'd rather believe in a fantasy at the expense of reason.
