Okay, so I was cruising around Compfused.com for some hilarious videos and I found this.


This "crazy" man from Las Vegas claims to be able to summon UFO's at will. The ABC station in his area was doing a series of paranormal topics like ghosthunters, etc. when they heard about this guy. The man, whose legal name is Yahweh, challenged the station to pick the time and pick the place for him to summon UFO's. The station accepted the challenge and what the reporter finds astonishes him, as an object appears then moves around.


I'm guessing that this news footage is about a week old. Keep in mind that the footage in the first half of the video is a homevideo of him summoning these objects, while the second half is the report done by the news team.


The crazy man then told the reporters that these sightings will be more frequent over the next week (probably now) and at some point one will come down close enough for the whole city to see. I did some searching on other media about this fellow and he says that between June 1st and July 15th, a UFO will descend in Las Vegas for a day and a half where it will be visible to all, day or night.


I don't care if I look crazy saying this, but this news footage appears legit. If this is a hoax, you all can start a thread just to make fun of me posting this.


Okay, I did some research. It turns out that these things captured on film bear a striking resemblance to weather balloons. This guy had documented interest in weather balloons in 1997, shortly before he started claiming to be able to summon them. I think he has taken quite a few people (like me) hook, line, and sinker. Boy do I feel like a dumbass.

Hmmm, I've done some more research on this. Apparently, it is possible that this guy could have sent a digital message to a friend to release weather balloons. This Yahweh guy does a prayer, then waits for them to show up. It is fairly explainable that a friend releases the balloons, then this guy just waits for them to come within visible range.


How he could get his friends close enough to where the news station picked the spot is unclear, but it has good chance this is a hoax


I was kinda hoping that aliens WOULD land too...

Yea, I found some other videos with this guy on it. I am beginning to strongly feel like these are weather balloons.

Don't worry mate everyone falls for something some of the time. Its even easier for the conmen to take advantage of people when they so badly want to believe. I know Doctors, Lawyers, Scientists and other people who are well educated and normally rational people who believe in a big invisible man living in the sky. It doesn't mean that they are stupid, just that they wanted to believe badly enough that they got conned. Hell, thats why Nigeria is on the map, because people want to believe, well that and avarice. I know people that believe in fairies, monsters, angels, demons, god(s), witches, and all sorts of things that do not stand up once Occams razor is applied.

For me I have never known a god. I have never seen a monster that didn't have a first and last name. And the only angels I know don't have wings (except once a month.) I'm not saying I'm the ultimate authority on such things, or that I cannot be wrong. But given the evidence we have seen so far, we are alone in the universe as the only sentient being that cares to talk to us. There may be something else corporeal or ethereal out there, but if there is, it doesn't have anything to say to us.


Hmm.

Like that time I fell for the guy claiming that the best way to becoming a smuggler was to walk naked, weaponless, and with nothing in my inventory through lok towards a POI called Greater Dune Kimogila Skeleton...



lol that rascal.

Luckily for me - I had already learned to use BurstRun very well...




And I pass on my knowledge to those who come after me.
