UFO spotted in Turkey astonishing Video
Source: Sun UK

The clips were handed to the Sirius UFO Space Science Research Centre in Turkey who interviewed witnesses and painstakingly combed through the footage frame by frame.

International UFO researcher Haktan Akdogan said: "In this amazing video footage, physical forms of UFOs and their metallic structures are clearly noticeable.

"What is more important is that in the close-up of some footages of the objects, entities in them can be distinctly made out."

He continues: "We have spoken with all of the witnesses and had detailed analysis conducted on all two-and-a-half hours of footage.

"After conducting all of the analysis we came to the conclusion that this video footage is 100 per cent genuine.

1. I hope they have information on CO2 reduction. Oh, and smart pills for humans.

5. If there were smart pills for humans, then people wouldn't go around...
believing that aliens are whizzing around and giving hicks anal probes.

This could be a classified military aircraft also, something that hasn't been made public? Like a harrier type stealth class bomber?

88. Not to be nitpicky, but they do not "house" B-2's in Turkey
The entire fleet is based at Whiteman AFB in Missouri. They may occasionally fly into and out of Incirlik, just as they fly into and out of Guam, Diego Garcia and other Air Force facilities around the globe, but none are based there.

9. Oh How I Hope This Is Real

But although the footage is pretty clear, I don't see anything around it for context. This looks to me like it could have been filmed anywhere, and I see nothing that couldn't have been staged or set up. Please UFO believers, show me why this footage is different. I'm ready to believe.

These ALWAYS turn out to be SO disappointing.

But UFO lovers, I'm begging you, find a reason why this one's legit!!

I'd rather we pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps than get utopia handed to us by some Dei ex Machina.

Although if they're our time-traveling descendants, then THAT would be acceptable.

Aliens, though? Not so much.

I know that with the billions of suns in the universe, it is highly improbable that we are alone in it. I cannot believe we have been visited without irreputable proof. Like you said, this could have been filmed in a studio. Waiting patiently.

55. I'm very open minded
and believe visitors from other worlds is entirely possible, but I am also very skeptical of any evidence I've seen. I don't think any photos or video will ever convince me. I think a person would actually have to see a UFO in real life to be convinced.

Those space aliens are afraid of mccain but they aren't of Obama. mccain has made it clear that he is not going to take anything off of those space aliens while Obama has not addressed them at all. In fact, Obama has gone so far as to say he is unsure of their existence. We do not need someone in the WH who is not sure of anything. mccain is sure that if there is space aliens they are afraid of him. :sarcasm:

94. Well, if you can't prove your point, why do you demand UFO believers do?
Edited on Thu Oct-23-08 08:06 AM by lunatica
It's all quite acceptable to be a scoffing skeptic, but you and every single other disbeliever have no proof whatsoever that UFO of the outer space variety DON'T EXIST. But you think it's OK to demand that believers prove they do exist. You fall into the rather silly behavior of believing one thing over another out of fear that you may be called a nut. Not out of any scientific facts. The simple matter is that no one knows for sure either way, although people who are convinced they've been abducted may feel they have had the experience to prove the existence of something alien. But because it hasn't happened to you then it must not exist.

I'm waiting for definitive proof either way. Until it's proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that ETs don't exist I will keep an open mind. And vice versa.

27. I believe in possibilities.
Edited on Wed Oct-22-08 01:04 AM by demwing
Nearly anything is possible.

I don't know the probability that the thing in that photograph is alien as opposed to human, but I'm pretty sure that the probability of this thing being of alien origin is NOT greater than the probability that Earth houses the only intelligent life in the Universe.

Edited because on my first try, I left out the NOT, and said exactly the opposite of what I meant :)

33. Right, but when the probability is so low, it becomes essentially impossible.
As noted above, this video is without context. It's impossible to know if it depicts what it's claimed to depict.

That's simply not a logical trueism.

You've also kindly reiterated my point; The fact that life exists despite overwhelming odds against disproves your equation of 'near-impossible' to 'impossible'.

Simple.

76. There's not enough to call bullshit, and there's not enough to call it
a genuine alien craft.

I'd say that it's more likely there's other life in the Universe than not. Whether it's visiting us is another matter.

It could be a Brin or Baxter scenario as far as we know; Either we've been cultivated as a race by advanced beings for some reason or another, or life evolved everywhere but just has yet to start running into each-other.

I dunno, but I have trouble believing we're the only planet in the whole Universe that worked out life. There are just too damn many planets to believe otherwise.

No biggie,eh?

I definitely believe we're not alone in the universe. I think this particular thing looks like a hoax but I also don't think the idea of aliens visiting Earth is that far fetched. 100 years ago I bet nobody on Earth could imagine man walking on the moon or a ship capable of visiting Mars. That being said, I'm too scared of the possibility of hostile aliens that I'm not altogether keen on them coming here in my lifetime.

59. "100 years ago I bet nobody on Earth could imagine man walking on the moon "

Bet lost! Jules Verne,From the Earth to the Moon 1865:

"The story bears similarities to the real-life Apollo program:

Verne's cannon was named the Columbiad; the Apollo 11 command module was named Columbia.
The spacecraft crew consisted of three persons in each case.
The physical dimensions of the projectile are very close to the dimensions of the Apollo CSM.
Verne's voyage blasted off from Florida, as did all Apollo missions. (Verne correctly states in the book that objects launch into space most easily if they are launched from the earth's equator. In the book Florida and Texas compete for the launch, with Florida winning.)"

"However, his scenario turned out to be impractical for safe manned space travel since a much longer muzzle would have been required to reach escape velocity while limiting acceleration to survivable limits for the passengers."

Weird isn't it ? :)

30. It's not too dissimilar from photos a friend of mine took back in the 60's.
I actually saw the original photos that a friend took when he was nine. He submitted them to some group that authenticated them. Lights, a door. He described the whole affair. Multiple angles of the thing. He said it had a definite sense of looking right at him. It was the most astounding photography I've ever seen. I don't doubt this stuff in the slightest. But then I never talk about it. It's just too weird for most people. I don't really care. I think it's cool, but it's like lots of stuff in this universe. Weird. Or maybe interesting is a better word.

37. Hoax.
Not even a very good one. The only motion in the video is camera shake. A piece of shiny metal in the dark. Could be a fucking belt buckle, or the handle on a dresser drawer. Piece of metal mounted to something dark, zoomed way in for maximum camera shake and fuzziness.

45. I thought the SUN was a Murdoch rag specializing in ...
stories about alien dwarves who eat their own brains,
and father children out of wedlock, and such.

not judging, mind you, just askin.

My own personal belief is that aliens have long been living among
us, and are primarily responsible for eating up all our precious moose.

NOT THE SAME VIDEO!

It turns out that it's not the same. It at least looks like these are multiple sightings (or fake videos).

51. This is a second video, different from the one last year...
We all want to know if it's fake or real, and if it's real what is it?

Who knows?

I did get the creeps and shivers while watching it. Flashback to being a kid, things that scared me:
1. UFOs/Aliens coming to steal me away - solution - build pillow fort, aliens can come 90 billion light years and can come through walls, but they can't get through pillows.
2. Spiders - solution - develop secret virus to kill off all spiders! AHAHAHA! Wrath will be mine!

105. That Video Is Much, Much Better...
than the one in the link. Especially the part where the object reconfigures it's lighting. Almost like an active camouflage system. I'm not saying it the real thing but it's pretty intriguing none-the-less.

53. The first alien contact will be robot to robot, not human to alien
so argues many in this field. They point out that the odds of finding planets that have intelligent life are so small, that we will use artificial life (like we're doing to explore Mars) to search for intelligent life. Aliens would probably do the same and thus the most likely first meeting would be between artificial life forms created by real life forms.

54. Nah, first contact will be to some world-leaders.
They'll probably need some stuff only we have, and they'll be willing to trade. If not, they'll be willing to shoot the crap out of our little earth.

My bet is they'll come in peace, likely to trade, making contact with the Bilderberg group. Who in the universe cares if we kill each other? As long as they get what they want. Like anti-matter from Geneva.

57. The BEST thing about aliens coming would be the reaction of fundies
It would throw a wrench in their theories on God. Of course they'd find a way to blame it on liberals :eyes:

67. Lol. Well you're almost there:
E.T was based in part on the story of Jebus

-When ET first arrives on Earth, he is immediately pursued and hunted by a team of scientists who may want to harm him.Persecution from the authorities.

-Elliott's mother's name is Mary.

-He has followers (The kids).

-He makes miracles (The dead flowers for example)

-E.T dies,come back to life and then in the end enters his spaceship and "ascends into Heaven".

The end.

So I can't wait for E.T 2:The Rapture ! :rofl:

70. Spaceships for Obama!
LOL

MEDIA ALERT: Prophet Yahweh Predicts Spaceships Will Appear Oct. 31st in Support of Senator Obama

Prophet Yahweh, Seer of Yahweh, Master UFO Caller says that on October 31, 2008, superhuman black men, from other planets, will appear in their spaceships and hover over his UFO Summoning School for three days as a sign that all Americans should vote for Obama as President.
YAHWEH wants people to know that if Barak Obama does not become President, America will quickly be led into a war with Russia via Iran that will result in: a cut off of oil from the Persian Gulf, a great depression, stock market crash, runaway inflation, devaluation of the dollar, food shortages, riots, famine, race wars, out breaks of disease, etc.

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) October 17, 2008 -- According to Prophet Yahweh: Some time before Nov. 11, 2008, more than likely before the presidential elections, and possibly on October 31, 2008, at approximately 12 noon, spaceships will start appearing, on my summons request, and hover over my school for all Las Vegans and media to see and film.

HNews Imagee goes on to say that: My UFO Summoning School is located by one of Las Vegas' housing projects in the middle of the ghetto. There I teach people the ancient art of summoning or calling down UFO's and spaceships on-command.

In anticipation of the spaceships' descent, Prophet is planning to install live, Internet broadcast streaming capability at his school. He is doing this so people, worldwide, can see him call down the spaceships on Oct. 31, 2008, exactly at 12 noon, and the spaceships that appear for the entire time they sit up in the sky.

Prophet says that he may be off a little with the dates and some details he gives, but let there be no doubt that something within the general overview of what he says is going to happen.

81. This is what you call a clear pictar


I took that not too long ago its a weather balloon. I can understand how people are hard pressed to get a decent image. the actual size of the object taken from a 10 megapixel SLR with a 300mm telephoto lens. All I did was crop out wasted black. The image was huge... If this was not taken with a 300mm telephoto it would have looked like a speck in the sky. Very difficult to do with crappy cameras.

Speculate away. However given there was a clear image that was there its hard for me to see otherwise. I do believe myself that there is Aliens. So here is my proof of what can be a weather balloon. I havent seen too many UFO's being that shape :)

92. I'm not saying there are no aliens, just that I don't think they're here.
I'd need something real--real evidence, not blurry pictures of "something"--to convince me otherwise. I'm a skeptic by nature.

102. Well, it's... something.
You can't even call it a UFO. You can't tell that it's actually flying. It's a UO. Actually, it looks a lot like this bit that fell off my car engine once. Somehow that doesn't seem as exciting.
