Anyone know what this could be? Or something reasonable?

I'd say that qualifies as a really short, bad choppy movie.

Ever notice how all UFO footage is shot on the worst video cameras known to man by people with parkinson's disease?
Here's great example of a "UFO" (read weather balloon) siting.

See now the only problem I have with nay sayers is these things have been being spotted for as far back as man has been recording things.
For me I think they are out there simply because too many have been being spotted for too long for there not to be anything to it.
And given the age of the universe its not unreasonable to think that there have been civilizations on other worlds have have existed become FAR more advanced then ours and have long since died out many times over before we ever showed up on this planet
Now can I absolutely prove they exist, No
But nor has anyone been able to absolutely prove they dont

Perhaps next time they should let people know of their arrival in advance so we can have professional camera crews with nerves of steel record them.
LOL
Ever notice how alot of combat footage seems to have been recorded by the same peson with parkinsons that shoot the UFO footage?
Dunno about you but if I suddenly found myself recording a UFO the one thing I probably wouldnt be was calm cool and collective.
THAT being said.
Most UFO footage is indeed a hoax.
There is some though that remain unexplained

I think that first video was the Green goblin! :D

Actually, the way the camera follows the "ufo" when it darts past it, then climbs, is one clue to it's fakery. How many profeesional camermen could follow that, let alone a novice. No way.

The video from ebaums was a promo for SciFi, go check their website. It's a complete fake. I had thoughts about it being real at first but watch how she almost knows the direction it is going to be, leading it in a way. It has been debunked for a while now.
Conclusion:Fake
Ahh yes found it at rense.com

But nor has anyone been able to absolutely prove they dont
The entire Universe is located in a small area of a pimple on the bellybutton of a large Boatswainsmate first class.

Just yanking your chain yank;). The Avro Arrow was an advanced Canadian Interceptor built in the 50s. It was far ahead of it's time yet it was scrapped due to budget over runs and pressure from the US to buy American planes. The latter fact is still a subject for debate in Canada. In any case it was a beautiful plane. Unfortunately it was never tested in actual combat.

Well if thats the case then as far as what I've said that would put the odds even more strongly in my favor.
Your not really arrogant enough to beleive that in the entire universe and in all the time the universe has been around that WE are the only ones who could have possibly managed intellegent life are you?
Cause thats all such an assumption is.
Arrogance

I would say the simple fact that they've been smart enough to avoid us is ample proof of intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe.

I firmly believe that ours is not the only living planet in the Universe. In fact, and I'm dead serious, I truly hope to see the definitive discovery of extraterrestrial life within my lifetime. However, I expect it will be microbial or fossil. Don't matter...that'll be the single most momentous day in human history.
I also believe that there is most probably intelligent life other than ours.
I do not believe that we have reliable recordings of any kind of 'visits'. I think everything we have seen in our lives is junk. I'm not sure, but I tend to think the 'abduction' phenomena is merely some form of hysteria or 'mental metaphor', if you will.
I do believe that if 1) there is life elsewhere, and 2) it is intelligent, and 3) it is capable of interplanetary travel (the plausibility of which is still highly debatable for humans), and 4) that such life cares to actually travel here (of all places! Remember, we're a backwater planet in a remote galaxy) ..then I must believe that the would be able to conceal themselves from us with little effort, and we would certainly not have all this half-baked material to hypothesize with. If one can travel the stars faster than light, one can probably manage to hide in the bushes without being spotted.
Here's an idea...what if the truth is somewhere in between (as it so often is)? Maybe there is other life in the Universe...but not a lot. Maybe the chances of life developing are so staggeringly low that, while not impossible, it is still a very rare thing. Like a desert vs. a rainforest. So there are only a few other species of life extant, and a very, very, VERY few that even approach sentience.
One other note...Dred, I gotta question one statement you made "...spotted as far back as man has recorded things". No doubt that phenomena have been observed in the heavens throughout history which could not then be explained...but were later. I think there is pretty strong evidence that the classically defined idea of the UFO (i.e., aliens come to visit) really only got off the ground post-WW2. Some have proposed that this time period really engendered and nurtured these ideas as a function of the paranoia of the days. People had just begun to have to try and grasp the new immediacy of imminent instant nuclear destruction, and began seeing ghosts in the machine. We're used to it, but they were not.
I certainly don't have the answers, but I do have a feeling that most of what we encounter routinely is just hysteria and attention-seeking...while the reality is a much quieter, much subtler thing.

...Or, we all live on a pimple on a large bosun's prettythang...:p

This turned into a great discussion.
I myself believe that if there is life outside our planet. And that life is capable of traveling great distances through space. I for one, pray that with the great intelligence they pocess they are also peaceful. If not they sure would be capable of kicking our sorry butts.

I would tend to agree with you on the whole
While doing a quick search on UFO sightings in earth history I came across this site.http://www.crystalinks.com/ufohistory.html (http://www.crystalinks.com/ufohistory.html)
While many if not most can be explained away easily and some are admittedly a stretch
Some are not so easly explained
such as this well known 14 century Fresco
(http://www.crystalinks.com/ufochase.jpg)
This picture shows a UFO sighting over Hamburg, Germany The objects were described as 'two glowing wheels' - November 4, 1697 - Wheels - Spoked Wheels.
(http://www.crystalinks.com/ufowheelsgermany.jpg)
This one I found interesting if nothing else
From 3000-year old New Kingdom Temple,
located several hundred miles south of Cairo and the Giza Plateau, at Abydos.
Anyone else see a helocopter? LOL
