Video is at link below
Special effects have become so good that digital media artists can now create entire videos on their computers and make them look completely real, even if it's a UFO sighting. That's what filmmaker Aristomenis "Meni" Tsirbas has done with his stunning 39-second UFO video of a driver supposedly spotting alien spacecraft over the skies of California.
YouTube viewers were quick to point out that the alien ships were fake, and they were right. But as it turned out, everything else was fake, too. The entire video was CGI (computer-generated imagery). There was no driver, there was no car and there was no road or landscape.
"The point of the video was to prove that CGI can look natural and convincing, Tsirbas said in an interview with Wired. "Everybody assumes the background and car are real, and that the UFOs are probably fake, especially the over-the-top mothership at the end. The general reaction is disbelief, so I usually have to prove it by showing a wireframe of the entire shot to prove that nothing is real."
In a subsequent video, the director shows how he did it.

(36,418 posts)The smaller craft also moved in a very evidently animated way. The sky and sun were simply a matt based upon a video of the real thing - not completely digital. This whole thing is just BS.

Another example of the government(I wouldn't be surprised if the BFEE were involved) covering up our contact with aliens.
That is real footage no matter what anyone says!
