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..."

Full MUFON Report of Diamond-Shaped, Humming UFO in Costa Mesa, CA on April 5, 2012

An interesting UFO case coming to light out of California last week:

"On the evening of April 5, 2012, over the Costa Mesa area of California," reports Huffington Post, "a motorist reportedly saw a diamond-shaped object hovering about a mile away from him.  In his report filed with the Mutual UFO Network, or MUFON, he also claims to have heard a humming sound emanating from the object."  Huffington Post has more....

See the full "Long Description of Sighting Report" that was filed with MUFON.  

As for that "humming sound," Examiner.com reports that the California motorist who saw the UFO was  "driving southbound along Harbor Blvd. toward the 405 Freeway near the Santa Ana and Costa Mesa area." He claims that he heard the diamond-shaped object making a "humming noise."

The full MUFON report, filed on April 6, did not include any videos or photos. The report, made anonymously, says this:

"I was driving south bound on harbor blvd near the 405 fwy. At this time I saw what appeared to be a diamond shape vehicle in the eastern sky abpproximately 1 mile from my location. while i was driving I noticed the vehicle hovering, so i thought it was a heliocopter, but then it did not have the aviation lights. Also, it was much to big to be a heliocopter. When arrived on harbor and baker it was still in the sky hovering/gliding south east direction. I arrived at Stater Bros which is located on the south/east corner and got out of my pickup truck. at this time the vehicle tilted on its side and then i was able to see it was in the shape of a diamond, or actually two diamonds connected in the middle. At first i thought it was a hoax but this vehicle was much too sophisticated to be a toy and very large. It made a hummimg noise that I could hear from approximately a mile away... Several people in the parking lot became spectators with me as we all watched in awe. 

"The vehicle at that time proceeded to fly/hover/glide higher in altitude and in a north/east direction. i felt at tthat time it was in the Orange county airport flight path ,so it should have shown up on their radar. Also at that time, the craft emmitted 4 brighter than the sun lights, or energy sources when it tilted. Ive see many things at night and in this area but nothing to this degree. If it was a hoax it would of costed the person(s) in the millions of dollars to conduct... I am very confident I was not the only person that was watching this because of the size and duration of the incident. I know for a fact there are witnesses at the gas station, Stater bros, and possibly more that were driving in a 2-4 square mile of the craft."

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."
