Video Shows "UFO" Seen From Airplane Over Seoul, South Korea

UFO over Seoul, South Korea? Probably a hoax.

Look! Down in the sky! Is that a flying saucer?

A video (below) was uploaded to YouTube by "crazybreakingnews" on Saturday, April 7, 2012 claims that a UFO was seen from a passenger plane over Seoul, South Korea on the same date.

The "UFO" is below the airplane, at a lower altitude. Whatever is it - whether real or a computer-generated fake - it is saucer-shaped.

The video already had 2,335,126 views as of 5:50 p.m. CDT on April 10, 2012.
Update: I checked the video on July 18, 2020 at 1:14 a.m. CDT and it had 6,690,672 views.

"This UFO was filmed by a passenger over the City of Seoul in South Korea on April 07, 2012," wrote crazybreakingnews, "I don't know, but it looks a little bit strange and not really similar to the other videos. If it's really real and not a fake, it looks like a kind of military drone for me. What do you think?" I think it looks fake, too. Have a look at the 53-second video here and tell us what you think. Crazybreakingnews does not say what the source of the video is, which makes me suspicious.

UPDATE 11 April 2012: I'm not the only one who thinks this is probably not real.

"Aside from the anonymity of the cameraman," says CSMonitor.com, "the video raises some red flags about its authenticity. For one thing, the video is not complete; it has been purposely edited to leave some information out. We know this because it begins in progress, with the UFO already well in the frame, in the lower right-hand corner. The video camera didn't suddenly turn on to capture that scene..."

Blue UFO Over Utah Was Publicity Stunt by Andrew Smith of Freelancer.com

February 1, 2012 - Was that UFO over Utah from another planet or dimension? A mysterious, bright blue object was spotted and captured to video on a cellphone (see it below) on the night of Friday, January 27, 2012.

In the video, a bright blue object seems to be spinning while suspended in the dark sky. It also appears to move slowly through the air.

The video and story have gotten a lot of attention for amateur videographer Anthony Piceno. Said Piceno, "I looked up in the sky and, you know, it was just a different object, it was neon blue, red flashing lights." But the mystery of what the object was - or was not - seems to have been solved. It was a fake, and it's not the first time the faker has done this.

"When he peered out his window in American Fork, Utah," reported International Business Times, "Anthony Piceno saw a UFO hovering in the night sky. Neon blue and red lights flashed in the sky and drifted slowly from side to side. The UFO, or Unidentified Flying Object, was unlike anything he had ever seen."

Hoax!!! Bad Videos Claim 'Real Alien Sighting' in Australia

Fake? Probably. This video is so badly made that it's funny. There are so many reasons that this is obviously a hoax that it's hard to know where to begin. Of course, there are plenty of idiot "UFO bloggers" who just post crap like this without comment. Not me. I have too much respect for my readers.

According to "ThePolishedKnob," who posted this video (watch below) on YouTube back on April 23, 2011, "this is the high quality version of this, the sighting was about ten days ago." So, this event apparently happened on April 13, 2011, right?  Well, maybe, but there are some rather clumsy date inconsistencies. Not only that, but there are TWO fraudulent videos by this Australian liar...

Notice the time stamp in the first video (below), which says "15 4 2011." That's April 15, folks, which would be twelve days, not "ten," prior to the posting of this on YouTube. The date is not the only suspicious thing about this video: ThePolishedKnob calls this piece of crap "the high quality version," but it's grainy, shaky, blurry and out of focus even at its highest available setting of 480p. (More of my critique below the video. Advisory for Language.) There is no cat in this version: That's important, as you'll see later.


The first video, above, titled "High Quality: Real Alien Sighting 8, Spooky !!!" was posted on April 23, 2011.  But on  April 22, 2011, ThePolishedKnob posted another video, titled "HIGH QUALITY : Real Alien Sighting Australia & HQ Spooky !!!"  It featured the description, "so i fixed the whole jumpy-ness and it looks alot better." Really? It's not even the same video! And, does ThePolishedKnob also have a time machine?
