		<description>Indeed!

How can that be explained?  Perhaps it&#039;s conspiring hoax artists set up cameras in different locations and the blog done in post to look like different angles.

Or perhaps not!  This one&#039;s certainly piqued my interest!</description>

		<description>Steve,

It is even simpler than what everyone thinks.  My friend was convinced that it was unfakeable however I was able to almost perfectly replicate it using PowerPoint with a background picture of the temple at night and a custom animation of a glowing small multipoint star with movements and timed pauses.  I ran this as a PowerPoint show then videotaped it with my cell phone.  It took 5 mins to do and looked exactly like the video minus the sound which could have been easily added later.  Thankfully my friend admitted he may be wrong and was upset he was so easily fooled.  Imagine if I had an hour or two to get really fancy…</description>

		<description>Ok, so we got the low-hanging fruit of the obviously faked video, what do you suppose the original (2nd link Steve posted) video is?  Due to the absurd acceleration, I&#039;d say it has to be a fake.  Any thoughts on how?  A couple thoughts came to my mind:

- Something transparent in front of the camera with a laser pointed at it.
- CG imposed image.
- Suspended light on a thread in front of the camera.

Any others care to join in?</description>

		<description>Its photoshop-like software, just insert animation.  The software allows the creation of animation in still shots or live animation videos :-O</description>

		<description>The major give away is that the 3 or 4 bright starburst flares (left middle of frame at 0:16) don&#039;t rotate as the camera rotates. The direction of the flares are caused by the hexagonal aperture of the camera. So if the camera rotates, the direction of them should stay oriented with the camera. That&#039;s why you know it&#039;s a still because it sticks to the image.

There&#039;s also issues with grain enlargment during the zooms, lack of atmospheric flicker on distant lights. I could go on, but I won&#039;t.

I reckon it was probably done in After Effects.</description>

		<description>&quot;In the second video at around 52 secs the guy’s actually shout whoa before the object moves.&quot;

...ah, fail. Sorry :(

There is a flash of light just before the object moves. The guy shouts &#039;whoa&#039; just after the flash of light and before the object moves.</description>

		<description>Because such doubters (really deniers) are pseudo-skeptics. They imitate the form of skepticism without the honest content and analysis.</description>

		<description>Why does this post sound just like 9/11 doubters going over video of the towers burning?</description>
