I cannot copy and paste onto blogger, to view the video: 1) Go to www.youtube.com 2) type in "low altitude ufo sighting in south of france - clear shot" on the search bar 3) click search, and click on the first video that pops up

This video has many qualities. It shows a UFO in France (a common place of UFO sightings), it's physical features are similar to what other UFO sightings have stated, and it is in a well populated area, not just one person saw it. However, it doesn't include many of the features that normal UFO sightings have claimed. It doesn't have flashing lights, it doesn't go as incredibely fast speeds, and it doesn't move and jerk like a spacecraft "not from this Earth" would. This probably means it is a weather baloon, or some other common device being mistaken for a UFO.

Crop circles - idiot teenagers or alien spacecraft?


In the early 1980's, many farmers in southern England have been noticing wierd formations in their crops, otherwise known as crop circles. These crop circles would often follow a sighting of a UFO only moments earlier, making the connection to UFO's and crop circles. However, two hoaxers have claimed to make all of the crop circles in southern England, getting rid of the possibility. Although, this does not explain the wierd formations in Japan, Sweden, Canada, etc. Also, the crop circles known to be created by humans would quickly vanish, yet the ones created by unknown, could take more than 6 months to vanish. Moreover, the "spheres of light" that were seen before many crop circles have been explained as, for simplicity, balls of energy in the sky, a scientific phenomenon.


This article in The Canadian is actually very interesting. It is one of the few ideas brought up by UFOologists (yes, that's a word) that has yet to be fully explained by scientists and UFO skeptics. The UFOologists may claim that these spheres of light seen before crop circles is perfect evidence, but it doesn't at all fit in with other sightings. Scientists claim these spheres of light as a new phenomenon yet to be explained, and are looking further into this.

A Sighting in Alabama


On June 11, 1995, Jason Leigh of Cleburne Country claims he spotted a UFO while golfing. Many weather experts have debunked this as a weather baloon. However, he [Jason] says about the object, "What we saw there was something essentially going against the wind, traveling horizontally...weather baloons are designed to go vertically" (Elmore-Moon 1).


Although this sounds like very convincing evidence, it probably isn't true. Leigh has claimed to seen many UFO's throughout his life. Basically, everything srange looking that's in the sky, he claims is a UFO. Moreover, zero "unexplained" UFO sightings have occurred anywhere near Alabama (the closest being in Miami, Florida).
