I saw a piece on the Philly local “news” in the last week or two about a loose group of clubs across the country that analyze videotapes and other evidence of UFOs, and come up with explanations for what appears to be UFOs. Those that stump these clubs are often sent to some expert in Minnesota. One such tape was taken from a (tourist?) helicopter over New York City. Half-hidden behind the World Trade Center (I think it was) is some object–someone says “What’s that,” and almost before the words are uttered, this thing instantly zips across the sky and some distance away. The camera catches up, and it’s just sitting there, then tears right at the helicopter, swerving away at the last moment at an impossible angle, leaving a vapor trail in its wake. This expert has examined every inch of the video every way possible, and does not believe it has been faked.
Anyone know anything about this guy, and, more interestingly, this videotape? It certainly is one of the more impressive UFO films I’ve seen–not likely to be a plane, reflections, a thrown hubcap or trashcan lid.
What’s the story?
