UFO Appears Above Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Protesters

The BBC caught a brightly lit object in the sky above a protest in Hong Kong. In the

footage, the UFO can be seen entering on the left side of the screen, hovering momentarily,

then suddenly shooting straight up and out of sight. Ben Hansen, former lead investigator of

the Syfy Channel's "Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files" TV series, and Marc Dantonio of FX

Models believe the strange object could be a drone. What do you think?

Ongoing pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong have drawn tens of thousands of citizens, taking

to the streets, demonstrating their opposition to news that China will choose the candidates

for the upcoming 2017 election.

During one of those protests, the crowd got a little something extra as a brightly lit

object appeared in the sky above the throng, moving slowly at first and then, as the BBC

caught it on camera, the UFO suddenly shot up in the air out of sight.

A television viewer in Scotland watched the demonstration news coverage and recorded the

broadcast. When he saw the object in the sky, he later sent the video to a local news

outlet, the Hamilton Advertiser, according to OpenMinds.TV.

The aerial object first appears on the left side of the screen, descends in front of a

building, and moves to the right toward another tall building where it stops and hovers.

Then, with an almost visible burst of energy, it suddenly launches straight up in the air.

Was this object truly extraordinary or does it have a more prosaic explanation?

"I don't think it's too far fetched to believe it is a drone. Maybe one that's closer to the

camera than we think," said Ben Hansen, former lead investigator of the Syfy Channel's "Fact

or Faked: Paranormal Files" TV series.

"The lighting set-up is a bit strange, but it could look like one solid light because of the

distance," Hansen told HuffPost in an email. "When these things want to go straight up, they

can cruise really fast. The way it sort of wobbled or floated as it settled by the building

makes me think it could be a drone."

When the object first appeared on the left side of the video, it didn't seem to emerge from

behind a building. Instead, as seen in the composite image below, it's in front of the

building.

Hansen's not the only visual analysis expert who thinks this object came from good old

Earth.

"I agree with Ben. This video appears to me to be a drone, as well," said Marc Dantonio of

FX Models. "The vertical acceleration illustrated is not at all unreasonable. Some of these

can really punch out of sight fast. The green lights are actually a bit of a standard. Green

usually means that the batteries are at full charge and have GPS satellite linkup."

When the object moves across the picture from left to right toward another skyscraper, it

appears to be in front of that building (composite image below), before momentarily hovering

and then rapidly shooting straight up in the air.Hansen's not the only visual analysis

Hansen and Dantonio could be on the mark with their drone explanation.

The BBC posted video taken by a drone on Saturday, showing the large number of protesters in

Hong Kong's business district.

It may not be the same drone -- or even from the same day. And this isn't the first time

that a drone has been mistaken for a UFO. To drive that point home even further -- adding

the icing on the cake -- check out the following video shared with us by Alejandro Rojas of

Open Minds Production. The aerial maneuvers that can be achieved by quadcopter drones are

astonishing:

some reason i cant actually get the video to playback. it makes out its playing then i get the window with the 12 videos on it. Have i managed to block something using adblock which stops it?

That is why laserpointers are dangerous. But to be honest, a glass pane in front of the camera and someone in the back with some sort of light source gives that reflection effect, it doesn't even look natural, just a moving (by hand) lightpoint. Also a drone is a drone, not a laserpointer or bouncy ball in the air. 0,5/10 for the outdated pseudo-hollywood effects, that has been seen so often already. 4/10 for trolling.
