My Adventures In Outer Space

Some time ago I posted a video of an unidentified flying object over the University of Texas Tower, claiming it amounted to incontrovertible proof that extraterrestrial life exists. Of course, I was being facetious, and didn't think I'd be fooling anyone.

The video you see below is a fake. It was uploaded to YouTube by a fellow Austinite. I discovered it after he sent me a video demonstration of his unique ability to levitate Spam.



Little did I know my post would soon be taken seriously by various UFO enthusiasts. The editor of UFO Review was the first to post a link...somewhere. Then editors of UFO NEWS expressed doubt as to its authenticity, asking readers "Looks real, doesn't it? But we are not convinced. How about YOU?" I found this reply particularly amusing:

"My Government experiance tells me thru my vast experiance that this is a flare. The flare is highlighted by swamp gas that has made the parachute glow. The reflection of the object is nothing more than a mass Halucination of the viewers. This fake UFO’s agenda we feel is purely sexual."

And finally, a link was posted at Ufos-Co.de, where German UFO enthusiasts were asked "Was halten Sie von dem Film?" Still no comments. Ich bin so enttäuscht.

I was beginning to think my little hoax had run its course when just the other day someone left a comment asking what I thought of this video, specifically Part 2. I responded by saying that I didn't see what was so special about Part 2, or any part of Alien Autopsy for that matter. And unless someone could tell me exactly which parts of Santilli's film were not fake, I'd continue to doubt every single frame. No reply as of yet.

I don't mean to appear ungrateful or rude, well usually I don't, but UFO Review is a news service and I am the editor. That means I do an editor's job which is collecting the news and putting it up on the site for others to view. Some objectivity is applied but usually I like to leave it to the discretion and intelligence of my readers to make their own minds up about material that is posted.

So the fact that there was a link to your fake video does not imply either that I or anyone who viewed it took it seriously.

Personally, I thought it was genuine with living breathing aliens in it. I thought this "was it" and that salvation really was at last at hand and that those among us who were chosen (and I'm one of those) would ascend and leave behind the immoral and the deviant and the unclean and the dirty. That would be the last, I thought, I would ever see of women with big tits. For women with big tits are sent by Satan to lead astray the mammary obsessed and the righteous, and by and large, they succeed mostly.

Anyway, seems I was let down yet again and your UFO wasn't real. I'm getting bored with this UFO malarchy.

Now you're the one telling jokes.
