Alrighty then. Whoever can get me to belief this is an actual photgraph of an alien 'UFO', wins.
Here's the 'proof':

I say it is something (equipment?) hanging under 4 parachutes.

Good luck

Has it been conclusively identified? No?

Then by very definition, It is a UFO.

I win. Give me money to see my girl.

It appears to be a group of Oompa-Loompas who have been thrown out of some sort of "flying vehicle" while bound to each other.

Well, he did say "alien UFO", Shik.

That's no alien UFO, it's a US Airforce black project.

Prakesh: It's unidentified, flying, and an object, therefore it is a UFO. It's American, and you're Dutch, therefore, to you, it's alien.

So, do I win? :-)

seen this video before, usually on that bastion of hard-science accuracy, FOX.

Part of the "evidence" for this being non-human technology is the incredible vertical acceleration of the thing, this determined solely by the "elevation" numbers at the top of the screen.

Of course, if this is just a bunch of mylar balloons videotaped by somebody with access to digital-editing technology, they could add in any damn elevation numbers they pleased.

I've _wanted_ there to be aliens since I was in the 3rd grade, maybe earlier. I really hope they show up one day. Until then, I genuinely want some evidence to be found to prove their existence.

but this ain't it

Word.

It's the Valiant prototype from the preliminary sketches for the Defiant.

It is therefore identified as a fictional entity, and as such, I claim victory in this...oops.

Technically speaking it is a Unidentified Flying Object, but waht I meant was the other more popular , FOX-meaning of the word: 'A VESSEL FROM OUTERSPACE! VISITING US! ABDUCTING ELVIS! SPECTACULAR! UNBELIEVABLE! ON VIDEO!'

That's just Venus reflected off some car headlights into some swamp gas. Really. I'm only going to tell you this once.

Please look at this little red light... *FLASH!* *ZZZZT!*
