I better debunk something because its the weekend! I’ve got it, how about that new video that just emerged, you know, the one about the jets and the helicopter and the frantic guys on that boat who filmed something splashing into the water..?

Well, the video features what is said to be a Spanish fishing boat with a finger pointed at a couple of jets in the sky, which the camera follows. The camera quickly moves to show another finger pointing towards the trajectory of a couple more jets which fly over the position of a UFO which you briefly see hovering  and then quickly submerging. Splash! A helicopter appears above the boat and tells the fishermen to return to port immediately. In Portuguese.

• I wasn’t impressed with the UFO. It was blurry. Typical.
• I wasn’t impressed with the fact that this incredible hovering object was less important than the frantic face of one of the fishermen. You’ll see what I mean.
• I was left with the impression that the UFO was a CGI afterthought actually, and that the video features a run in with international borders enforcement or some other such scenario that screams that these guys have just been bust! This is due to the fact that there seems to be more concern with everything else going on than the alleged UFO! The video makes perfect sense without that feature!
• I also doubt that a ‘real’ UFO would make such a splash, for the simple reason that airborne sightings of these things have no sonic boom associated with their exceptional speed. As such, I would surmise that interaction with air is non conventional. One could imagine then that the water could be made to bend around the object just like the air and consequently have no splash associated with it. Ironically, this would make the video even more unrealistic! You know what they say, fact can be stranger than fiction…

Look for yourself.

Here’s a translation of the audio:

Statement with video: The terror of a Galician fisherman with a ‘foreign object’

The guy said: ¿Que es eso , qué es eso?(What is that!) ; They are talking in Galician, a language similar to Portuguese.
Pero que coño, que caralho pasa aquí?Pero que caralho está pasando aquí?;
Translation:What the h*ll is going on? What the f**k?! Holy s**t, stop recording!!

Wait, what was that? Stop the recording??? Are you kidding me? NOT the words of a man who just saw a UFO? Maybe the words of a man trying to HIDE something… No idea what that could be. Smuggling something perhaps. Naaa, UFOs are more entertaining than smugglers.

The helicopter said:
“Leave the area; leave the area immediately and head for port; receive instructions there. Leave the area and head for port.”

Have a happy remainder of the weekend! And remember, the next time you fim a UFO,  make sure you point at the UFO more than the reactions of those around you!
