Space alien seen on video, man claims

CNN's Larry King talks to a panel about the possibility of a tape containing footage of an actual alien.

[crispy]

Maybe someone taped independence day?

[Rigel]

The reenactments are freaking hilarious!

[Kosh]

I completely don't understand the resistance to just releasing the actual footage...

Really?

As soon as they release the footage, their fifteen minutes will be over.

its sooo amazing....the luck! a known ufologist has a camera pointed at a window. out of all the millions of windows all over the world a fucking alien pops his grey ass up and gets caught as a peeping tom!

at least the aliens are cool...i mean, they have the technology to travel interstellar space and they dont even try to hide in camouflage or anything. just go around looking in windows as normal people...errr aliens.

To be fair, it was "Stan Romanek" who taped the thing, not Peckman.

That would have been too obvious if he taped it himself!

Is he really a known ufoogist? It's curious that we can't see the alien's back. It appears to be a very very good puppet. I would love to be wrong!

On Coast2Coast I heard a story about some ufologist on the ufologist conference was showing infrared camera and they decided to try it, and guess what ? - they immediately saw the UFOs flying around.

The actual video was leaked:

Sad that it's clearly a fake.

While the professional editor was correct in his assessment about time codes, reflections etc, you need someone who understand anatomy - such as a character animator to analyse the movement of the creature.

Firstly the "puppet" (which I assume it is) suffers from unnatural "floating" and rigidity which is uncharacteristic of true muscle and bone dynamics. Secondly the movement is clearly too linear which is also an indication of a simplistic mechanical movement rather than the type of motion induced by complex muscle and bone systems that contract and expand in a natural succession creating "ease-ins" and "ease-outs" . Rigidity and floating is especially noticeable when the puppet moves from left to right and when it ducks behind the ledge. Facial movement also indicates a very simplistic mechanical structure.

Pity.

Slightly more convincing but that's not the one that was in the Larry King video (though they only showed a still)

Movement is still suspect. At one stage the head "flops" to one side and when it walks off it doesn't turn first but rather later which would require a large sideways step (which would reduce height). I also think the sideways movement is too fast. Much more convincing though.

(bear in mind that I am using human and earthly animal movement as a reference for movement)

Ps: You can see what I'm talking about better in the "enhanced" version:

No hat. We all know aliens fancy hats.

Okay,

Just found the same video with the accompanying post:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7h1_ods_Us&watch_response


After close scrutiny of this video that is going around YouTube, it does NOT match the alien seen in the alien still photo that was released on Larry King Live.


Here's how we know this to be fact.

(1) The skull is not the same.
(2) The eye sockets are different.
(3) No single still frame of this video matches the still released on Larry King.

There are other factors as well, but these are the most obvious ones. Unless this is additional footage of a second alien, then we have to assume that this footage is fake.

This video was received in our office today and at the time it looked legit, but it's not.

Do not give this video another thought. Unless proven otherwise at another time, this video is simply fake.


If and when the real footage becomes available, we will post it here instantly.

Thanks to all for helping us to expose this video.

So maybe my post is not the video after all.

Silly analist... doesn't he know that this alien species are shape shifters? ;)

its stewie griffin?

[Blackclaw]

I thought the still shown on Larry kind looked like a dog looking through the window..

[Aristophanes]

every still and video look obviously fake. larry king is dumb.

LMFAO!!! I kept checking to see if this was an April 1 edition. Did anyone else notice that the 'alien' blinked every ~5 seconds, just like a human would? Someone went out of their way to make this hoax look extra human.

[LampreyMoose]

Look at the smirk on the fuckin' guy's face during the CNN interview. What an asshole face he has. I don't like him.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wN-SNd3OYfcWow... that is pretty bad. The original youtube link in this thread, that clearly looked digitally added. Bardos link shows a puppet who's movement is entirely unrealistic. Larry King must of been low on material to have this crap on. I mean, was the Chemtrail guy not available?

[Szkeptik]

Why do these little green/grey/white/yellow men always have a body that is evidently way too weak to keep a head of that size in the air?

The only way a creature like this could move is by dragging it's head after itself on the ground.

[Michael Sansom]

I don't believe that we are being visited by extraterrestrials
but I would really like to be wrong. The films linked above
are at 0 on the probablity of being real scale. Even King
(usually uncritical of anything paranormal) seemed dubious.

I did notice and was amused by the blinking eyes though.

[premjan]

How come the "space" alien looks just like a comic book alien? I bet you could buy a doll / robot or rent a suit that looks exactly like that.
