The Argus has printed this as a serious story?
Try to watch the vidoe 'evidence' without laughing out loud. It looks like someone vidoeing a spotlight!

Blimey I just looked and it's still there. Only in my case it's not half obscured by a wall. And I stood still.
My wife reckons it's called a 'moon'. Anyone else ever heard of this?

FFS.....
Is this the level of reporting we can expect from the Argus, the friggin Beano produces more serious articles.
What happened, have you employed a whole load of druggies off their faces top write or something ?

I thought FFS referred to flat foot soozie, but it's short for f---'s sake.

Well thats been the best laugh I've had all day!
Seriously though, it's nice to see that someone else is as bad at keeping the video camera still on full zoom as I am!
I think I've also got a photo of the Red Arrows being magically removed from an ariel shot I took of them. Do you think it could be the same aliens?

That looked like somebody holding a light on a stick and waving it in front of a camera. I believe in extra-terrestrial life but I do no think that was a UFO at all. You have got to do better than that.

another attempt to put something on the news that is a fake video of a stationary electric light...but the real ufo events and videos show the reality...the daily life and routine will change forever soon enough.

Does anyone that leaves comments on the web have at least half of there brain cells? How is that possibly the moon? However it does look alot like venus to me. If you knew anything venus goes through pretty much the same phases the moon does but its much smaller and can only be seen with a telescope or binoculars. (or a zoomed in camera)

If you spend any time at fark.com you'll realise instantly that this is a streetlight.

There are a lot of videos around like this one; shakey, no context, and unconclusive. We don't even seem to have with it the testimony of the person who shot it.
It's unlikely to be Venus or the Moon as the righthand side of the object is too straight for the phase, in my opinion. However, we can say no more about it without some more information.
On the one hand, I think there is little in this to warrant publication. However, on the other hand I welcome The Argus for being prepared to be open minded and allow us, as intelligent readers, to make up our own minds.

[bold]Richard Gurner[/bold], you actually put you name to this article?
By chance did you check to find out when this was filmed (Date/Time)? I wouldn't be in the least surprised if you found that it coincided with the full moon this week which for a time was very low in the sky and quite large in appearance. @ [bold]Nick USA[/bold], you might sound less stupid if you were in Sussex around the time of the full Moon to see it for yourself then you might understand where the idea that it is The Moon came from.

It looks like someone who has been binge drinking woke up with the "joe blakes" and while trying to phone a cab accidently took a picture of an outside light.

Its obvious that it's a sign that they are coming.
It was in the Argus so it must true. They would'nt print it if not

this video shows absolutely nothing unusual, other than the fact that it is getting any attention at all. It gives the truly authentic videos a bad reputation when these types are given any notice at all.[bold]bold[/bold]

Totally insignificant... could very well be a shaky video-cam of a local streetlight. As a physicist and former photography instructor I give it very, very low marks for validity. A waste of broadband. I'm waiting for MULTIPLE videos from differing locations and proximity of the same object. (I "believe" but do not accept anything and everything thrown up for viewing.)

Dear [bold]Thomas Crowe[/bold],
As a trained observer did you make note of the irregular circular shape? Similar to that of a waxing moon.
Ta.
P.S. Keanu Reeves has been cast for my role in this film.

The pointall of you are missing is this :
As no-one here has ever seen a REAL genuine U.F.O. (for the simple reason that NO-ONE ever has seen a genuine real UFO and proven it) then how on earth can you say that the streetlight / spotlight ISN'T genuine?
You are all as crap as people that watched Jurassic park and yabbitted on about how lifelike the dinosaurs were ...not that you nor anyone ever saw a real one to compare. You know, like when you go to Alton Towers on the roller coaster, come off and start telling people it was just like flying in space ...not that you've ever done that.
Personally I think it's just a lamp : but I also think the whole lot of you are also all retards.

TAKING ISSUE WITH AN IDIOT CALLING HIM/HERSELF "EARTHLING": You call us all retards, but why? We seem to be expressing different views in this discussion; some believing, others not, and those like myself who remain open-minded though state that they think this footage is nothing worthy of consideration. So, in your opinion, ALL opinions are those of retards? Yours too, clearly.
