- I was recently informed by the very useful
UFO UpDates discussion list (updates@globalserve.net) of an excellent new
web site devoted to UFO video clips. The UFO Scotland site -- <http://wkweb5.cableinet.co.uk/dledger/video.htm
- > -- has performed a truly important
service to the world Ufology community in providing this video clearinghouse.
While going through the extensive list of clips I came across one of the
most amazing UFO videos I've ever seen. The MPEG video clip in question
is located on the first page listed above. It is the 16th video listed
down the page, the one with the shower of sparks against a violet purple
background.

- I was totally unprepared for what I witnessed
in this unfortunately brief (15 seconds) video. The camera person who
took this footage obviously knew what they were doing. It's almost as
though they were there specifically to video this object. What is seen
is an unidentifiable, lenticular shaped craft moving rapidly down towards
what is plainly a desert landscape. I say craft because what is seen is
clearly a technological artifact, and not some kind of light or plasma
like phenomenon. A thin contrail is seen trailing behind the craft. The
craft appears to be in trouble, as it heads towards the desert floor.
What happens next is something I wouldn't believe to be possible unless
I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. The craft literally pancakes off the
ground with a visible cloud of dirt and debris, and BOUNCES!!! back into
the air, while regaining altitude. The camera follows the now obviously
malfunctioning vehicle as it passes a number of telephone poles. Once
again it starts losing altitude and heads towards the desert floor. In
the final few frames the craft again impacts the ground, but this time
all that is seen is a huge shower of bright sparks and there the video
ends.

- I showed this clip to a pilot friend
of mine with over 30 years of both military and commercial flying experience.
This man has flown everything from Phantoms over Vietnam, MIG-29s in
formerly communist Russia, to the latest version 747s. His reaction upon
seeing the craft impact with the ground, only to bounce back into the air
was "That's $%*@"^% impossible! No aircraft could withstand a
ground impact like that! It would either explode, or suffer a catastrophic
collapse of the airframe." He said the video had to be fake, but
that it sure didn't look fake to him. It was evident his rational world
view had just been shattered.

- I 'm no photographic/video analysis expert.
But my gut level reaction when first viewing this clip was that this was
something real. Sometimes one has to trust their instincts, and all my
instincts in this case said I was looking at a real video of a real object
doing absolutely unreal things! Of particular interest is the sudden blooming
of a violet colored haze around the object as it impacted for the first
time. This haze looks exactly like the violet purple haze seen immediately
around UFOs in many reported sightings. It has been theorized that this
haze is due to powerful electromagnetic ionization effects, more than likely
due to the objects' propulsion systems. Just fractions of a second before
the object impacts, you can see the haze increase dramatically in size
and intensity. It's almost as though the craft was activating some kind
of externally directed force field to somehow cushion the impact, or even
prevent it.
-
- I contacted the people at UFO Scotland
to find out the source of the video, and was informed that it was submitted
by Tony Craddock, the web master for Dr. Greer's CSETI organization. It
now becomes imperative that we find out the original source for this most
remarkable video. Hopefully, Tony Craddock and the CSETI folks will help
solve this compelling mystery.
