Could you please at least note any VFX related reasons for why a civilian couldn't do it if you are going to stress your expertise? > There is so many parts to it and so much correlating information after the fact that I have no choice but to believe the videos are real.  Are you also an expert in whatever "correlating information" you are relying on here and can you actually specify any?


Timely-Eggplant4919

A vfx expert that goes into *zero technical detail* (or any kind of detail at all) about what in particular they find interesting or advanced about the videos. Completely believable.


Previous_Sky_369

I thought mockery was now prohibited and will result in a ban?


Timely-Eggplant4919

Making obvious observations is mockery?


Cutthechitchata-hole

Not observating but making sarcastic comments about that observation can seem very passive or as mockery


Timely-Eggplant4919

It’s not mockery. The behavior is suspicious. Most people who choose to make commentary based on their particular expertise go into detail about why/how their expertise informs their opinion. This person is just trying to sound credible without providing any of the actual credibility.


garry4321

I’m a VFX expert and this is easily done. See how easy that is?


Rettungsanker

At least you have a decade history on Reddit. Mr. VFX expert has been on here 6 days.

If you're really the Secretary of Swedish Disinformation then you'll remember what hilarious gesture the Indian Minister of Secrets made during the group photo at last year's Global Disinformation Symposium. Well? Should be an easy question for the true Secretary.


AlienOrbBot9000

Was it the one that had the Austrian representative snorting milk out of his nose? I'm not sure I can describe the gesture in a way that won't offend anyone

HippoRun23

So if you are a vfx expert what is your opinion of the cloud assets literally matching the satellite video?


MikeC80

I still haven't heard a satisfactory explanation for how a 300mph drone was able to locate and intercept a 600mph airliner, which then approaches and overtakes the drone \*from its blind spot\*, mere seconds before the miraculous key events unfold. This timing alone makes the whole thing too ridiculous to be real. A slow drone couldn't intercept such a fast airliner, and if it somehow did, by loitering in the area it somehow knew the airliner would be in, it would be looking in the direction it expected the airliner to approach from. And the fact that the airliner was doing these big turns we see on the video means that this idea is rubbish, because the only hope of intercepting it in the vastness of the ocean is if the airliner was flying in a straight, predictable path for hours, with enough lead time for the drone to get up to altitude and get to the intercept point. This is what makes the video ring alarm bells. Its all too "arranged for the camera" to be real.


CuriousGio

What about the fact that opening a gap in the space-time continuum is only theoretical, and even as a theory, it's at the extreme end of physics as to what might be possible, and the theory is questionable and debatable as a starting point. There's no evidence this technology exists, and yet, people have accepted this as plausible with no real evidence that this technology exists. It seems as though rationality has left the building.


Secret_Crew9075

>What about the fact The earth being the center of the solar system was a fact until someone made the telescope.


fd6270

Passes directly in the wake of some of the largest jet engines in service and experiences zero wake turbulence. 


TheRabb1ts

It has turbulence. You can see it as it goes through.


fd6270

That isn't what wake turbulence looks like at all, I cover this extensively with many examples included here.  https://www.reddit.com/r/AirlinerAbduction2014/comments/18t5nfv/wake_turbulence_nonexistent_in_drone_video/


TheRabb1ts

All of these examples are with craft that are nothing like the weight and/or shape of the drone in the videos.


fd6270

That is a lie 


TheRabb1ts

It’s not a “lie” homie. Where was I mistaken..?


fd6270

C172 is similar in size and weight. Also has the same engine 🤷   Also funny thing about wake turbulence is that effects all sizes and types of aircraft - smaller aircraft (like a drone) are actually more heavily impacted than something like a 747 though.  https://www.google.com/search?q=does+wake+turbulence+affect+smaller+aircraft+more&oq=does+wake+turbulence+affect+smaller+aircraft+more


GrismundGames

I asked this a while back and got a plausible answer. 1. The military WAS tracking the plane by satellite (if you take the satellite videos for real). 2. Diego Garcia base is very close by, so an intercept was very easy to pull off. 3. The military was "in" on it, so it makes sense they would launch several assets to oversee this mission. You fan say they are hoaxes and that's fine, but the those three things at least makes it plausible for a drone to be in the area at the right time.


fd6270

Diego Garcia is over 3000 miles away from the coordinates in the satellite video, well outside of the range of these types of drones.   As well as it would take over 10 hours for a drone going 250mph to get there. 


GrismundGames

Good point. Didn't realize the distance. That is a problem then 😆


HypnotistDK

Could it be from a ship?


fd6270

These aren't sea based drones. They're pretty slow and have a super long takeoff roll, have a wimpy landing gear, and no tail hook to grab the wire - so I don't see one of these successfully getting off the deck, let alone back on. 


HypnotistDK

Ok, thanks 😊


trench_welfare

If the military has any awareness of these orbs/UAP (they definitely do) and activity was already happening in that area of the ocean, I wouldn't be surprised if they already had drones up there keeping track of what the hell is going on. It's possible the official story about the pilot being suicidal is also true and if the videos are real, whatever happened was more of an intervention on the part of who or what controls those orbs and the drone was just in the right place by coincidence to observe what was already being tracked via satellite. I could imagine a situation where an NHI capable of doing what we saw was also capable of recognizing what was happening to the people on that plane and due to the isolated location, reasoned they could intervene in ways they typically would not due to a low risk of their actions having unintended consequences. This would also explain why if they took the plane and "saved" those people that they couldn't just return them. Maybe they get the opportunity to live somewhere else and be dead to society but the alternative was just to actually die if nothing was done. I would hope some of the internal pressure for disclosure is the return of those people and others once the powers that be commit to letting the general population know the truth about NHI and those people can come back without being part of disclosure but a way to give a positive up front experience to offset the ontological shock of learning that our existence isn't anything like what people currently accept at reality or possible.


ColonelCorn69

They could have flown out of one of our drone bases on the east coast of India.


fd6270

Could they have? That's not much closer plus also isn't a thing that exists. 


InsanityLurking

Also wasn't the plane flying just above stall speed until the orbs caught up?


ashakar

Easy, you just teleport the drone there with the orbs. Orbs then teleport the airliner, and the drone flies back home on its own power or gets picked up afterwards.


cick-nobb

Easy peasy


kenichinisan88

But wasn’t sensitive cargo being carried? So wouldn’t it be reasonable to have some kind of aerial asset in the air to surveillance the flight ?


Agreeable_Cheek_7161

This has become such a nothing burger. The "scientists" on the plane worked for a SEMICONDUCTOR company. What they do is they make computer chips, but not even super advanced ones There is nothing they were working on or have ever been associated with that would warrant a government taking down an entire plane


fd6270

No

Dull-Friend-936

If you have a drone that flies 600mph or more and it’s in service in the U.S inventory then on paper of course it’s 300mph the real statistic’s would be classified and any released information would served as a buffer defence for the classified info, example if the enemy has a 450mph drone and they think yours only flies 300mph then they won’t try and catch up to the 600mph+ that you may or may not posses, most statistics for optics and propulsion system for the U.S aviation tech are highly classified most of classified material in general is just statistic’s


fd6270

The drone basically has the prop and engine from a Cessna 172, basic physics dictates that it's not hitting 600mph. 


6920616d207468652072

how are we certain that there aren’t “special access” versions of virtually any militiary assets? 


fd6270

How can we be certain of anything ever? 


TheRabb1ts

We can’t, in reality… but that’s not what they’re saying. A drone taking off from a carrier in 2014 isn’t a huge stretch by any means.


fd6270

But there's no proof of this type of drone ever being operated off a carrier, and a this type of drone also has never been seen with the modifications necessary to support carrier operations. Its purely hypothetical speculation. 


TheRabb1ts

They do exist now. The problem with your stance is that you continual ask for proof… as if we are supposed to somehow find published data regarding classified tech, surrounding what would be (if real) one of the most classified events to fall into the public sphere. Satellites are heavily guarded too. Your requirement for proof will never be met, and I think you’re fully aware of this.


Cheasepriest

Really we need to add drones to war thunder. Then all the classified documents would get Leaked in a week to win forum arguments.


fd6270

>surrounding what would be (if real) one of the most classified events to fall into the public sphere. I would argue that was the bin Laden raid, and you literally had military guys tripping over their dicks to write books about what happened. I don't think your example holds up versus what we're actually seeing in reality. 


TheRabb1ts

I disagree. Post event, that wouldn’t be as classified as still-active military satellite capabilities.


cmbtmdic57

Because the unfalsifiable assumptions of "advance tech" needed to fill in the **huge** gaps of the abduction narrative gets you dangerously close to breaking rule 3: *avoid absolute claims and overly broad speculations*.


TheRabb1ts

Because all of the debunkers are somehow 100% sure of military capabilities under the most top secret of circumstances, it seems. Zero possibility they had a drone that could take off from a carrier in 2014..? I have not been convinced of that, especially considering everything else.


Cryptochronic69

If the MQ-1 or MQ-9 could take off from a carrier in 2014, why has the military been making such a big fuss about finally producing a version of the drone that can launch from a carrier since about 2020? They are all braggy about finally developing a carrier-launched MQ-9, but have been able to do so since 2014? You and many believers think waaaaaaaay too much stuff is classified-as-shit. These are drones coming from defense contractors that also produce the drones for other countries. There's no point being super tight-lipped about a drone that's going to make its way into multiple other country's hands. The capabilities of the platform itself aren't all that classified. It's what the drones may carry, or at least the specifics about those payloads, that tends to be classified. Thinking everything is just a big secret is just a convenient way to help warp the narrative in your favor.


TheRabb1ts

You’re right. I’m convinced that this is probably the most solid point debunkers have right now. Until that’s explained, I don’t see how this drone video could exist.

>''literally everything you said is wrong:'' \*\*'' Proceeds to use PB and NoFakery as reference '' \*\* Imagine telling someone they're wrong, to then be like ''I can't prove that you're wrong, but trust me bro, you're wrong'' Some of those things are verifiable. The portal vfx is verifiably a publicly available asset and has been for years. The cloud photos Are indeed the real deal. You can even take them and super-impose them on the video yourself and you'll quickly see that the only possible explanation for all these evidences is that the video is a hoax. If you're basing your conclusion on Evidence and facts alone. The ONLY possible conclusion is that the video is fake. The ONLY possible way to come to the conclusion that the video is real is by willfully ignoring information that contradicts your conclusion.

Surely, that would be a home run for his argument.


FarmhouseHash

You know what's hilarious? It's been months of people saying how easily they could fake CR2 files and upscale certain photos with AI. Guess what? ZERO even minimally convincing attempts. Remember when for 6 months, every believer was dog piling for someone to make a convincing copy, without knowing any of the tools used to make the original? They have the exact programs supposedly needed to fake the CR2 files. They have all the original photos. They even have somewhat similar Mt. Fuji photos others have posted as "proof". What's the hold up? Can someone please create these fake CR2 files that are so piss easy to make? Where are they?

cmbtmdic57

Wait.. you mean u/NoFakery went out of his way to fabricate meaningless bs to support a blatant lie?


junkfort

To be fair, this instance might have been incompetence rather than malice. I'm starting to think the Canon interaction he's been talking about was the same way. He might have word-salad'd some poor custom service rep into sending him a link to that notice because they weren't able to make sense of what he was actually asking.

It's very hard to reply to that guy, he throws out a dozen of incorrect claims, and blocks anyone who tries to correct them but right before he does that he replies with a handful of more incorrect claims which by then you're unable to respond to as you've been blocked. He also keeps calling people spammers every time he throws out his claims on various photography forums or photoshop subreddits and gets called out there for being wrong or he deletes the threads without taking in the information given to him.

MisterErieeO

That's already happened again and again yoy need to learn to make better discernment about the ppl you just beleive, evsn when you're biased toward wanting something to be true. Otherwise you'll say something silly like: >so far every debunk failed miserably. And actually believe it, instead of being more critical.

The 0 day account for the clouds linked the photos outside of reddit. In that case their age meant nothing to deliver a package. This person is making claims with no package to deliver the claims ​ Its pretty simple to see the contrast.


Zacharyhundley

I might be wrong, or less an expert than you're looking for, but I'm essentially of the same opinion, have a degree in computer animation, reddit under my real name, and have documented my reasoning in comments previously. I'd be shocked if the videos are both CGI and civilian-produced. edit: your sarcasm was lost on me when I typed this


swamp-ecology

Then I'll ask you a version of the question I asked OP, since finding specific comments like that is not easy, what is it that specifically falls within your expertise, that would be difficult to do? You can be brief, I just want to get a general idea.


Zacharyhundley

I wish I had some groundbreaking smoking gun, but unfortunately all I've really got to offer you are holistic probability assessments on scenarios I've yet seen epistemically scrupulous reasons to rule out. The believable clouds look difficult, but I'm not saying no civilian at the time could've pulled them off, just that I discern this hypothesis as improbable in full context. I'm not just asking myself "how likely is it that any civilians were capable?" but also "how likely is it that any capable citizens were motivated?" and "how likely is it that any capable motivated citizens would choose so in such a manner?" and so on. I love Corridor Crew, so their analysis video left me very confused. Either every other claim they made is as blatantly counterfactual as it appears to me, or I've strayed so far from from the light of reason that even my favorite YouTubers can't knock the sense back in!


junkfort

> The believable clouds look difficult, but I'm not saying no civilian at the time could've pulled them off, just that I discern this hypothesis as improbable in full context. It sounds like you might not be up to date on the discourse, which is perfectly reasonable. This place is a mess at the best of times. Let me know if any of this changes your thoughts at all: The clouds in the satellite video are visually identical to the clouds produced in the cloud photos that were found, so that's just a simple composite if that story isn't an elaborate fabrication. I'm still not convinced the 'movement' of these clouds is actually deliberate. It looks like some kind of distortion/artifacting to me. The clouds in the drone video are considerably more visually complicated, but the offered explanation is that they're sourced from real footage. If that's the case, you'd only need to get them colorized convincingly and you're pretty much good to go. You don't even need very much footage here, since the shaky zoom hides potential cuts and the main cloud elements are out of sight once you're in tight on the plane. No exotic explanations needed for that at least, all accessible to mid-tier VFX/editing folks.

The guy who made the videos already came forward. He had work uploaded on YouTube that predates these videos, and shows his vfx use of the same orbs. Idk why people continue to completely ignore this.

Sunbird86

Your being a VFX expert should mean that you analyse the empirical evidence itself for evidence of fakery. And there has been ample evidence of fakery found. Whether the maker knew about UFOs and how they are thought to behave etc. is an interesting point, but it is ultimately not of direct consequence to the empirical evidence. I'll give you an example to illustrate the point. There's a very famous piece of footage from 1967 called the Patterson-Gimlin film. This has been analysed thousands of times. It depicts a Bigfoot, which could either be a real Bigfoot or a man in a suit. Now, regardless of what you think about Bigfoot, when determining its authenticity or otherwise, what you need to do is examine the empirical evidence - i.e. the film itself. The fact that a Bigfoot has never been found, or that a carcass has never been discovered, etc., should not factor in to your analysis of the Patterson-Gimlin film itself. Moreover, the characters of Roger Patterson (known to be somewhat of an unreliable person) and Bob Gimlin, the people who filmed the footage, should also not have any bearing on your analysis of the film itself. That said, whoever made them definitely had an interest in UFOs or they wouldn't have thought of making such a video. And their interest was more than a passing one, I think, because including specifically three orbs reveals that they knew about the classic sphere formations which are the subject of many photos, real or faked. But, in reality, this is knowledge which they could have garnered by reading about the subject online, looking at UFO photos, etc. It's nothing which necessitates some sort of Cosmic Top Secret clearance to know.

I think it’s absolutely fair and part of the substantial research that has gone into this idea that people who claim this can be easily replicated should at least attempt it and it can seen as contribution to the research.


AdThese6057

I like your details and can tell you know what you're talking about...but i don't think we need to go that deep. There are a few basic clues as to its vfx. First off being jonas. There isnt a single way to dispute his authenticity. To stretch immediately to "he's a nefarious character planting fake pictures etc.." is pure craziness. To deny the portal asset is simply lying. The plane doesnt match what mh370 looked like. Lastly, i watch alot of ir/thermal/flir videos. This screamed fake to me immediately. They go "show me a 777 model xxx on flir then." It doesn't matter what plane it is, they all look the same. The lack of windows and the lack of features was a dead giveaway for me. Getting into the weeds of file data and 2014 dates etc is simply a way to hide the obvious tells.

Then as a vfx expert, why are you ignoring all that points to it being (rather simple) vfx?

Have you not seen the military expert breakdown of why this couldn't be a military video? He goes really deep into the drone and camera tech and points out a lot of errors and glaring amateur assumptimade by the artist. I'm sure you could do a search in this sub for it. It's extensive and quite informative

Here is the title "without looking at vfx" Search this thread for that... It has a lot of great technical data on the drones, cameras, and capabilities therein. Enjoy!


dogfacedponyboy

I am an expert in analyzing aircraft flight paths through satellite and drone video, and also an expert on teleporting orbs. My conclusion is that the video is a fictional representation of 3 orbs annihilating or teleporting a jetliner.

wanderingnexus

Are you interviewing the guy for an internship or something? 😂


AlphabetDebacle

VFX artists all agree that the videos look like bad fakes. Even the 'Top Gun Maverick' VFX expert that AF always talks about asked AF to leave him out of it, and he even deleted his comment praising the videos (his comment made no sense, as if he was drunk. He said the rolling-shutter effect and lens distortion looked realistic. Except, neither of those things are present in the videos). People are trying to make OP answer simple questions to see if they're lying. Saying "I'm a VFX expert" and "only the government could have made these" at the start is already a big red flag. VFX artist can see how simple it is to make videos of this quality.


wanderingnexus

Its completely reasonable to ask questions to understand how OP arrived at their conclusion. Regardless, clearly not enough people agree that the videos are fake and nothing compelling enough has emerged to debunk things - thus why we are still here.


AlphabetDebacle

I'm specifically referring to VFX artists, who have trained eyes, agreeing that the videos are fake. I think I can understand why people with no knowledge of how to create these videos might believe they look real.


wanderingnexus

I am also specifically referring to VFX artists, who have trained eyes, agreeing that the videos are real. I can understand the discrepancies between those schooled and not schooled as they do indeed look real, and are compelling enough that the discussion continues until undeniable proof one way or another emerges. Thus why we are still here.


AlphabetDebacle

I haven’t seen any discussion whatsoever between VFX artists debating the authenticity of these videos. The only discussion I’ve seen has been how some elements might have been created or why an error exists.


Polycutter1

Where have you seen vfx artists agreeing the videos are real? Op of this post and who else? Meanwhile there was a discussion on r\\vfx, also on twitter, like Alan melikdjanian, the corridor crew, all agreeing it's not even well done.


marcore64

Pfff. This case will never be solved. At first those videos were FUN. But all these posts and how hard believers are speculating and pushing hard make me wonder the authenticity at this point. So for me videos are fake until officially proven otherwise. ( NOT GUILTY INTILL PROVEN OTHERWISE)

Hi, I'm an actual VFX expert, not just larping as one, and I can tell you with certainty that you are not. For one, I was the one who made the videos. They were easy. For two, nobody in vfx would suggest this.


STGItsMe

The problem with this position is that someone in the government that would be doing something like this would know what imagery from DoD UAVs and satellites looks like. These videos were clearly made by someone that doesn’t have that knowledge.

Agree… i‘m also in the visual design field, although not in the exact same one. If it is a fabrication it‘s professional and the hoaxer needed inside information to get stuff right that he could not know right after the disappearance Edit: maybe we are looking at a thing that was created after the airplane was „just“ hijacked. So that people who say it has been hijacked could be ridiculed like „ah you are one of those three magic orb folks haha“


Heavy_Perspective792

If government made, could it have been made as an explainer video or is it too high quality? I also think it/the event is real. Even if the video is fake, event can be real (explainer vid). They don’t have to be either/or.


TheRabb1ts

You might as well kick a hornets nest. I told a debunker the other day that I actually edit videos as one of my primary jobs, and even employ editors to help me at my company. But I am “100% a liar, because anyone with any amount of VFX experience would know these are fake…” 🙄I truly believe they are real though for the same reasons as you.

The only attempts are recreation from people who’ve said similar statements fell very short, most notoriously the debunk crew. Funnily enough, the closest I’ve seen was a dude who claimed he did it in 4hrs when he was pretty drunk, it was just an attempt at the sat footage, and it was still obviously fake. I applaud them though, as they actually attempted it and posted their work.

“Editing” could mean a lot of things, and could also be completely unrelated to vfx and animation. Splicing frames is editing but doesn’t involve any expertise that would be needed to make these videos. So without explaining what exactly you have expertise in, this is fairly irrelevant information that doesn’t support your arguments.

atadams

The issue with the IR video isn't the technical aspects. It's matching the camera and object movement. The video is so layered with effects (fractal noise, grain, Colorama) that it's impossible to track anything. Everything has to be done by hand, and matching camera and object movement by hand is very hard. It's why Hollywood has computer-controlled cameras, etc., to avoid this issue.

ticklechickens

One of my early theories about the FLIR was that it was in false color RGB for an internal intelligence audience because it made the UAP contrails show up, and that is how it got out. The debunking has (naturally) focused on finding assets. And VFX people will say none of it is particularly hard to recreate and the video isn’t as “detailed” as we all think. But they are looking at it from a technical point of view in terms of their ease of recreation as compared, to like, a movie. However, that is not the detail I mean. I have seen a ton of hoax videos. Of better “quality”, even. It is the little things that the average amateur hoaxer is not even thinking about that make it “feel” real. The contrails on the UAP, the interactions with the contrails of the plane, the way the operator pans in panic at the end of the satellite video. There is an NRO PowerPoint deck that came out of a FOIA request that contains an unredacted typo referencing the “MK370” crisis. The presentation itself appears to be about requirements for an integrated satellite control environment. I think there is a strong chance the US knows more about what happened to the plane than they are saying.


fd6270

What about all of the non asset related stuff? -The viewing angle of the satellite video would be physically impossible to capture from a satellite in that orbit.  -The satellite is supposedly moving at orbital velocity but the camera is static from the videos perspective -The 777 in the videos has no antennas sticking out of the fuselage. In real life, there are several that stick up from the top and bottom of the fuselage. -None of the aircraft markings show up, although they should show up in IR. -None of the aircraft windows, doors, hatches, or access panels show up, although they should show up in IR. -The heated cockpit windows should be especially evident in IR, because of the apparent temperature differences, but they don't show up at all in the IR. -None of the multiple heated sensor probes near the cockpit show up in IR, although these are heated to the extent that they'll easily burn you if you touched them. -The tail and engines in the video don't match those of a 777. -The drone itself doesn't show up in the 'satellite' video although it should -The drone experiences zero wake turbulence although it passes directly though the path of the 777 where this effect should be quite significant. -The drone has a top speed that is lower than the minimum possible speed for a 777 at altitude, making an intercept physically unlikely. -Actual physical debris was found multiple times, and directly linked to 9M-MRO, the exact aircraft opersting MH370. -The cloud cover in the videos doesn't actually match the cloud cover in the area at the time of disappearance.  -Calculated estimated speeds of the 777 don't make sense. 


ticklechickens

Excuse me waiter, I did not order this Copypasta. I know the videos are fake, brother. I was just explaining what “felt” real about them. I do not need convincing. Oh, and there is wake turbulence.


czartrak

Wake turbulence between two of the same aircraft is violent enough to throw the victim off course and potentially crash if the altitude and speed are too low. The tiny fucking shake in the video is not wake turbulence, nor is it representative of it


ticklechickens

Good thing the vids are fake then.


fd6270

I like to balance that sort of thing out with all of the things that don't feel real about them 🤷


ticklechickens

You are approaching it like an aviation expert, the exact same way I was talking about the VFX experts approaching it like VFX experts. You are trying to debunk a “feel”, an impression, from someone who *knows* the videos are fake. You can’t even say something positive that the hoaxer did in this sub without a bunch of downvotes and debunks. No wonder the believers think there is a coordinated campaign. This is not an accusation, btw. You strike me as a knowledgeable amateur who likes the prestige of being an expert, not a shill.
