Just goes to show how easily 'Chinese' lanterns are interpreted as UFOs.

As I said it just shows how easily people interpret lights in the sky!

Isn't it just unreal how people interpret 'lights in the sky'!!

A UFO should be a protected term and in order to report one you should need to pass a test and have a basic clue in known aerial phenomenon!

I suppose better to have the videos from everyone about everything then to miss the slim chance of getting 'something'!

Its frequent to the subject and absolutely important to the subject at the same time,In a young persons mind its the fresh evidence he/she needs to spark interest in ufos....most likely the person might get a slagging off about there evidence but still it does no harm to learn the hard way i would think!?
Essentially it provides for a person to gain some aerial phenomenon expertise at least and the other side of the coin... it provides a variety of waste material for ufo youtubers to get lost in which in my view is good for the subject....
I don't see the world of online video adding anything to ufology,to me at least its a misconception to think it will.
You just have to look at the crop circle ords forming the circles from a few years ago,to understand that it hasn't being the evidence needed to spark mass interest from the media which i won't get into.
I probably complain too much but i'm sure others have different or the same views on this!?

I don't think online videos bring much if anything to the research into UFOs as anyone and everyone can make up a good looking ufo video be it on their computer or in their back garden.

I will say that online video has one positive, its sparks peoples interest in the subject matter which in some cases will cause people to dig deeper.
