Debunked: UFO Videos

The two UFOs were spotted in Haiti. As they flew overhead, the palm trees swayed and woman with the camcorder gasped. I watched the video three times. I gasped, too--it looked that real.

Watch the video a couple of times and see if you're convinced it's authentic:

But wait, there's more. UFOs were spotted in the Dominican Republic too.

So, are you a believer? I'm afraid I have bad news for you. A guy -- his YouTube name is OriginalDrDil -- went to great lengths in his video to show how the UFO video was rigged using Vue 6.

But the Los Angeles Times thoroughly debunked the story, uncovering the creator of the videos, barzolff814. The Times reporter even convinced him to create another video.

You Believe in UFOs?

If you like UFO stuff (don't kid me, I know you do), spend a minute with Google Earth UFOs (or maybe weather balloons) and a couple of hours watching the videos on the Real UFO's site.
