New Alien Video Sparks Fresh ‘Real or Fake’ Questions

Real or fake? That’s the question (and really, it’s always the question) after another video has turned up purporting to show old footage of an alien being interrogated.
The creature has the classic egg-shaped head and big, buggy eyes. Seated in a chair, it looks confused as it tries to respond to questions.
Nick Pope, who used to investigate UFOs for the Ministry of Defense in the UK, clearly think it’s a fake.
“This is one of the better fakes that I’ve seen,” he told ITN News. “Looking at the skills of the filmmaker I think it’s a nice piece of work, it’s well put together, and the black and white imagery is a nice touch because it plays into that whole idea that this might be something that’s been in the government vaults for awhile, might even relate to Roswell, the holy grail of ufology.”
According to him, the reason someone might do this is either to showcase their skills or just to put “one over on someone.” He also thinks it won‘t change anyone’s mind: “believers will go on believering, skeptics will go on thinking it’s a load of nonsense.”

Posted on May 4, 2011 at 2:40pmI find it interesting how many self-described “skeptics” or “rationalists” or “critical thinkers” or “science-believers” will stoutly assert that there MUST be life out there somewhere, yet be equally insistent that none of it has made it here.
“Skeptical” reasoning is based purely on mathematical probabilities however, and no matter how many zeroes a number has in it, and no matter how many times you point at the sky and squeal “It’s so big!” — none of that is evidence. It is only flying saucer stories and alleged artifacts that qualify as evidence — and that is dismissed out of hand. (And, probably rightfully so.)
I’m not advocating for either or any position. Just sayin’. As far as evidence goes, there is more evidence for Bigfoot than for ET.

So this is a fake, a good one, yet still a fake.

Come on, do you really think, really think, that aliens are going to travel light-years and care about humans until they have reached nearly the alien’s point in technology? Doesn’t it even drive some of you crazy to be in a situation where you are forced to talk to someone who can never relate to your situation in life? Moreover, do you really think God would allow them to contaminate a work in progress until you conquer?

Posted on May 5, 2011 at 12:40amAfter performing golden ratio calculations on the face of the alien, it appears to be real.
The length of the head is about 5.24 inches from crown to chin by my computer monitor scale (not fullscreen), and is about 3.24 inches across from cheekbone to cheekbone, which matches the golden ratio almost perfectly. Fullscreen, about 7 inches in length, and 4.3 inches in width.
I‘m not saying it can’t be faked, but it appears to be real.
