UFO Video in Costa Rica

[Gaby]

There is a video of a UFO in Costa Rica, I have to say that I didn't see it because the internet connection is rather slow... Maybe someone here will have an opinion about it:

I don't know if this is a scam, but it was published in at least 3 main editions of the mainstream channel of Costa Rica, Teletica.

The video will be transmitted as an exclusive in Mexico on December 7 on the "Con Claridad" program of Channel 3/Pachuca Television.

Malvin Badilla, a Costa Rican construction worker, managed to record a very compelling video of a possible disc-shaped unidentified flying object.
The object appears to spin on its own axis and makes maneuvers in a matter of seconds. The witness states that its apparent size was slightly larger than that of a tractor tire, adding that the time was 3:49 in the afternoon.
Luis Carlos Monge elaborated on this report for Telenoticias, which was broadcast over the three separate editions.

Some aspects of the video:- Recorded on a Motorola cellphone in 3GP format.
- Duration of 15:06 seconds.
- There is a break at 3:19, when the zoom is applied, a situation that can be normal in some cellphone models when the zoom is used. This information must be checked against a similar phone.
- The object remains static and later changes position, tilting toward the left and the right in fractions of a second, showing other aspects such as: the upper, lateral and lower view, respectively.
- This copy of the video is from researcher Richard Sandi. The file was labeled "22-11-07-1550", leading me to suppose it is 22 November 2007. In Luis Carlos's report, dated 30 November, the witness claims to have recorded it :"some days ago" - therefore, the label could match the date of the sighting.

Mr. Badillo mentions being in the company of another person, his co-worker William Rivera, who pointed the flying object out to him. Badillo couldn't hear him it at first due to the noise of the drill he was using on the job.

Regarding audio, it should be noted that the copy I received appears not to have any. So I asked reporter Monge about it, and he replied verbatim: "Yes it does, but it is very low. You can hear the boy shouting William, William, then the drrill sound. According to him, the object made no sound whatsoever."

Ana Luisa Cid's Opinion

After reviewing the video several times, in slow motion and frame by frame, I believe that this could be genuine material and while it is true that "UFOs" can be created on the computer, it is nonetheless true that many people around the world have reported and documented artifacts of this sort.

The witness seems sincere and I find it feasible that he should have experienced a sighting.

I extend this opinion in a preliminary capacity, as we still need to see the research of Costa Rican ufologists, who will doubtless have a more qualified opinion by virtue of interviewing the witnesses and vistiting the site to conduct field work.

The video shall be transmited as an exclusive in Mexico on 7 December on the "Con Claridad" program on Channel 3 of Pachuca Television.

It should be noted that the images are the property of Teletica - Canal -7 - Costa Rica. (translator's note- Prof. Ana Luisa Cid requests that this be honored).

that's a close video , i mean most UFO's vids are about a little withe dot on the black sky but this is very close to be a missasociation even though the resolution of the video is very very low , and the filming is not to a professional level (which from my point of view proves that the object had an emotional reaction on the cameramen , he was nervous!) it is very clear , good video man thanx

I don’t know why but to me it looks like some kind of miniature model especially near the end of the footage it looks like it lost its stability or something. And the spin on it looks somewhat odd and slow. But then again who knows.

Yep, I think 'who knows' once again rules the day. I must admit to finding the camera work to be stereotypical - I mean - why do all ufo videos have as much footage of the ground as they do of the craft? ( I suppose I might find the answer about whether that is realistic if I ever take my own 'ufo' video).

My point is that if it was that close and that clear - why shoot toward the ground? Fear? Tripped over a tree root? ok - but..... seems to be an easy 'out'. Of course, I am a skeptic, so take that impression with a grain of salt. I do think the most interesting frames were near the end since it seemed to morph shape a bit - which is a characteristic that seems to consistently come up in witness descriptions. But - who knows?

Looks realistic to me, but I'm no expert on creating illusions. On the other hand, why would anyone go to the trouble of creating a hoax when there is so much documented evidence of the reality of ufos?
Unless they're unaware of the plethora of evidence because their source of information is only the MSM.
