Plus today there are so many conspiracy theorists, trying to promote such ludicrous BS, that people are getting a lot wiser, and more sceptical of it. Even if you did uncover proof of UFOs today, it would be a lot harder to convince anyone.

In short, it's easy to fool people the first time, maybe even the second or third time. By the 50,000th time, it's pretty much impossible.
Since computer, digital editing, video software, etc technology is so much more advanced and realistic....there should be LOADS of VERY VERY good, 'real looking' pics and videos, even good enough to fool the experts....so where are all these at?


The fact that people keep 'producing'/getting blurry, out of focus, footage of these things... really says something in itself imo (if you think about it).

No, it was a craft but the angle of approach because of trees around the apartment building
and darkness (it took place at night) was such that you could only see the bottom although
a little of the top was visible and was made of what looked like glass (or at least transparent)
It seemed as if pyramid-shaped. What I mean is that it appeared that the bottom was wider
than the top. It also seemed as if the craft was observing the group of people looking at it.
Most cases I have read have craft disappearing upon being sighted, but this one lingered longer
than most. I am not sure of origin but I know that it gave off vibes of not being from Earth.
What is interesting is that a local radio talk show got calls from people who had observed the same
craft. The talk show host blew it off and suggested that it might be an advertising blimp.
A blimp is not what I saw that night.

Exactly, and with the proliferation of video recording devices, why is the amount of video evidence to support the existence of UFOs, not increasing in proportion? People are video recording everything now in big numbers. Everything, except UFOs. If a UFO showed up today, even in a sparsely populated area, multiple people should be able to record it from every angle, but it's just not happening.

I was referring to the fake or hoaxed pictures/videos...why are these blurry, out of focus, etc, when computer and editing technology is so much more advanced?


Given this is the case, there should be LOTs and LOTs of EXTREMELY good and high quality fakes/hoaxes circulating around online, even good enough to fool the experts.

There is probably a good reason why cats, dogs, and other animals go into 'frightened' mode when one of these things is near...animals are much better than humans at picking up on these kinds of things.

Maybe because if you can't afford the high-end software to make a convincing fake or don't know how to do it, you keep it low quality to make analysis difficult.

You can find high quality fakes on Youtube. Take a look at TheFakingHoaxer's Youtube channel, and try searching for "best ufo fakes" on Youtube.

What if the universe has already ended but we haven't experienced it yet because Earth exists in a one-of-a-kind time/space anomaly which was the exact reason that visitors from afar and awhen were able to visit us in the first place. They no longer exist but our only clue is their absence. Tick, tock.

There probably is very clear film and photo evidence of UFOs.
There was a time that government confiscated photos and
film footage when sightings were reported. There was one case
where the Air Force said they had filmed the landing of a craft
and meeting of aliens by high officials. This footage was supposed
to be used in a Disney documentary on UFOs but the Air Force decided
against supplying the footage at the 11th hour.
