digg

*bong gurgling in SF* whaaa?

That's funny, I'm noticing a correlation here, too . . . Northern California gave you Digg.

I remember it to, it was just before Halo 3 was launched.

It was viral marketing for Alienware, not Halo.

I like the work who ever made

Just to reinforce the OP I remember this from back then as well. Unfortunately, these are not pictures of UFOs.

I actually saw these photos just recently on that history channel show UFO hunters I believe. I think that was the show it was pretty late.

The fake report thing was a very cool bit of graphic design.

What? This was NOT debunked AT ALL. Your proposal that it is "covenant language" is total *****. it is NOT proven to be fake anymore than 9/11 has been proven to be an inside job.

Better check your system clock, your apparently running a little early.

March 28th...but close.

Maybe the answer will come out on April 1st. I think that's how April Fools is played these days.

It just occurred to me that any country (or extraterrestrial civilization) really wanting to deal us a blow would attack us on April 1st, because with everything else going on most people wouldn't even believe it.

Well it obviously takes a lot of faith.

It is amazing what hopeless people cling to ;)

... people, yes there are CG youtube videos. ALL of them were created after the original images were released. Lots of people have created CG version of the ships since then. They are simply saying "this is how easy it is to fake."

THESE WERE NOT presented as evidence. they are fan fictions inspired by the photos.

They could just use that program that premiered at DEFCON to show the drones being very different from their surroundings.

So you're saying... you can tell by the pixels?

youre an idiot.

That's saying a lot since MUFON is an organization of believers. But this will not dissuade the Drone believers.

I just read your article. There's no conclusive proof in it that states Alienware did this for publicity, just conjecture.

Sorry but this is over a year old. It's not "viral marketing" but it sure is a hoax. Another to add to the many others we have seen over the years.
From your own article:

"Thank you for your email. It’s great to hear that our promotion has reach out to you and your Forum group regarding the CARET document. Alienware did NOT create the information regarding this phenomena or the CARAT linguistics. This is NOT an intellectual property of Alienware. The information has anonymously spread throughout the web for some time. We have taken the CARAT linguistics and have applied this as a marketing tool to draw attention to our promotion."

Your article does nto claim to know anything. They are guessing. The person calling himself "Chad" is the only person who has come forward and is the source of the CARAT "documents" and "photos." The stills are simply CG models composited into a photo and/or video. The "engine" photos in the CARAT documents are your basic CG test renders. the artists didn't do much, if any, photoshop work on them. I do 3D modeling, animation, and composite CG into live action video and know a CG shot when I see it.

That Alien Nation movie and TV show had it right!

no, no they werent. 600 people didnt believe it, and you read their comments and believed them. you havent done a scrap of research.

I'm sure it's viral marketing for the Star Wars series that is supposed to be revealed soon.

http://isaaccaret.fortunecity.com/ ... this is the entire report they are basing this article on. This is that "Issac" guy. Decide for yourself.

No if your aperture is set pretty darn high f22 would kee it all in focus

the reflections are all wrong

do you know anything about aperture? it's a bright day and you're pointing at the sky so you'd need a really high f stop.

Umm.. if you're not familiar w/ photography, the camera should be focused to infinity at that distance. Everything will be in focus.

It ain't ***** without some Alien poop.

So if a camera is the only thing around in case something like this did happen, we should immediately say it's fake and be done with it? And regardless of whether or not it's fake, it's interesting to think about. I think most people get caught up in their lives too much to consider the possibilities. Imagine for a second that we're the only intelligent beings in space. It's a lonely thought.

It seems with all these sites like youtube going up, the more we rely on video for proof. I wish instead of getting into such heated debates about these kinds of things, people should consider the possibilities and think about what it means. I think some people would be a lot happier because of it.

That article supposes problems with the device causes them to be visible for short periods of time.

this is very true, a few people even got the first plane attack on 9/11 on their own cameras

Especially considering it seems to be standing still.

" If these are the work of aliens, they must value art and aesthetics over functionality."
Soooo...
these aliens are from Cupertino, and that UFO is a damn expensive piece of handiwork?

"how do you prove something is unidentified? " Easy, by failing to identify it. Proving something is unidentifiable is a lot harder.

We don't know what we don't know.

Yea, UFO Hunters is pretty stupid. I watched it a few times and honestly could not believe some of the crazy ***** they say and do. They leave so much hanging then say, "Oh well, we couldn't prove it was an alien... BUT we couldn't prove it wasn't! SO THERE!" I mean, I fully understand budget and time issues, but the amount of time and money they spend doing completely retarded and useless ***** is absurd.
For example: They're looking for a plane that went down 30 years ago whose pilot claims it was taken down by a USO (submerged object). Well we can't find the plane, but we know the floor of the ocean is significantly inclined here. Let's go use our basement "science lab" and determine if a heavy object under the effects of gravity and currents will move downslope! HURRAH! Time well spent, let's go search some more! Oh... we can't find it? Well now what? Maybe it washed ashore... eh... Maybe we're looking in the wrong spot... eh... Maybe the aliens have a hidden UFO base underwater and stole it to conceal the evidence... YEA! That sounds right! But we couldn't prove anything and we didn't search all the possible areas and the primary source of evidence this entire episode was based on was never found. But we didn't prove USOs DON'T exist so clearly the aliens are ***** with us.

They wouldn't have a show if they actually disproved it.

That's like saying Hummers don't exist because some have machine guns, some have missile launchers, and some have intelligence gathering suites.
Different tools for different jobs.

But I do believe that this is some of the worst photochopping I've ever seen.

Just to be that guy, people used to complain that pictures of UFO's and such were always grainy. Now that someone has excellent-quality pictures of some, they're faked too?
