Hoax!
According to Channel 3 in Phoenix, the UFO video in question is a hoax!
The man who recorded the video failed to show up for the promised analysis of the original tape, indicating that all the brou-ha-ha over the UFO thing was cutting into his work.
Based on the copy they had, the expert says that the artifacts on the lights matches the artifacts ont he text added after the fact, indicating that they were both added in the same way, also, he says the auto-focus never causes the lights to go out of focus… although, the video doesn’t appear to have been shot in auto-focus.
Well, I’m not going to argue, one way or the other…

Phoenix UFO unveiled?!
Just got word from Channel 3 that they’ve obtained the original camera and footage I mentioned on my post yesterday. The story is tonight at 8:00PM, you can also watch it at their website.
Here is the text of the notice I received:

Rumors and allegations have swirled for more than a week. Did Brian Bessent of www.ufotheatre.com
REALLY shoot that “amazing UFO video” in Phoenix on June 5th? Thousands have viewed this “amazing new video”; hundreds have written to us at www.azfamily.com with their thoughts and theories.
Bessent finally agreed to submit his camera and original videotape for professional analysis.. and he also agreed to allow our news cameras to document the process.
We never could have predicted what happened on Wednesday afternoon! Our report airs tonight at 8pm on Channel 3 in Phoenix. Those out of the area can check out http://www.azfamily.com/video to watch the report. Spread the word!

Looking at their sight, they also have a couple other pieces of footage from the last couple of months, the implication is that it is some form of secret pseudo-military spy device being testing in the valley.
Time Travel for mental slugs
In this post on the BBC, they discuss a new theory of time travel (and I couldn’t help noticing that they managed to link this to Doctor Who - the final episode of the new series airs tomorrow) based on Quantum Mechanics, which says, in essence:
You cannot change any history that you know.
Example: If you know your father is alive today, you cannot go back in time and kill him. However, if you don’t know if he’s alive or not, you might be able to change history.
This leads me to believe that all those slugs who didn’t pay attention during history class will be the vanguard of tomorrow’s time travellers… or worse, time travel’s shakers and movers.
Yet another reason why eduction or logic will not help you understand Quantum Physics.
