Intriguing video. The consistent luminous density of the objects, and lack of atmospheric distortion, suggests trickery. However, there’s a subtle separation and concretion in the pairing that seems too clever hoaxer. Or are they just planes? Judge for yourself.
This video was reported taken by “Mike Smith” in a plane over Atlanta, Georgia on June 4, 2012.
Here’s an earlier video from the same source:
Real? Fake? You be the judge.
From the Connecticut Post:
FAIRFIELD — It goes by many names: Bigfoot, Sasquatch — the legendary half-human, half-ape creature that, according to legend, prowls the great northern woods of the U.S. and Canada.
Some insist, however, that the hairy beast is real. Sasquatch “sightings” have primarily been reported in the Northwest.
Until now, that is.
A woman driving on Unquowa Road about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday called police to report that she “almost hit Sasquatch,” which was standing in the middle of the road. She said it was 8 feet tall and very hairy, with a large body and “legs like tree trunks.” When she switched her headlights to highbeams, she said, the creature covered its face and ran into the woods.
The driver told police it was “human like,” but more “like an animal.”
Unlike other Sasquatch sightings, where the elusive beast melts back into the deep woods, this one was located in Fairfield.
Bigfoot turned out to be a big joke — a 16-year-old dressed in a gorillalike costume, police said. The teen told officers he was standing at the intersection of Unquowa and Sturges roads, waving at passing cars while friends watched.
A police officer escorted the sham Sasquatch back home and turned him over to his parents, who, the police report states, agreed he should have shown better judgment.

Photo of the type of "sky lanterns" that were mistaken for UFOs over Norwich.
From the Norwich Evening News site:
The truth behind a collection of mysterious flying objects over Norwich has been revealed.
Yesterday the Evening News reported how engineer David Self, 56, spotted 11 bright orange globes flying over his home in Thorpe Marriot on Saturday night, and was appealing for an explanation.
Similar sights were witnessed in the area by readers including Jono Read, who on Sunday night was travelling towards Holt from the University of East Anglia after going to a Maximo Park gig, and Chris Nairne-Clark, who saw large orange globes over Wensum Park at about 10.30pm on Monday night.
But a number of readers have revealed that instead of visitors from out of space, the globes were actually flying lanterns let off from Wensum Valley Golf Club.
Tom Harwood said the lanterns on Saturday night were to celebrate the wedding of Robert and Becky Palmer.
He said: “The lanterns were lit and released during the evening reception. They were orange in colour and I can understand why there appearance caused uncertainty. They drifted from the golf club towards the end of Thorpe Marriott, towards Felthorpe.
“I hope this answers Mr Self’s curiosity.”
Reader Aaron Field added: “I have also seen these before and looked into it myself. It turns out they are merely miniature hot air balloons commercially available to celebrate New Year and birthdays and more commonly known as sky lanterns. Those I have watched recently take a similar time to disappear out of sight, and would easily be misconceived as UFOs.
“Sorry to disappoint, but still interesting all the same.”
This rather weak hoax video of a “channel creature” was revealed today to be a viral marketting campaign for a boat called The Norman Arrow:
the new high speed Incat 112 metre Wave-Piercing Catamaran, the world’s largest diesel-powered catamaran, the first-ever freight carrying high speed vessel on the Dover Straits which will now operate the Dover – Boulogne route.

The new film The Haunting in Connecticut is based on a “true story” which occurred at the Hallahan Funeral Home, in Southington, CT., during the 1980s. However, a neighbor of that establishment recently refuted the story.
From My Record Journal:
Kathy Altemus moved into her home across from the then Hallahan Funeral Home on Meriden Avenue about 25 years ago and lived there during the supposed haunting. She said on Saturday that she saw the movie with her grandson, and thought for a scary movie it was not that good.
“I don’t think it had anything to do with what happened over there,” Altemus said Saturday. “There was never any entity over there.”
Altemus said many of the neighbors at the time did believe in the paranormal, but most do not believe there was any kind of supernatural entities in that home.
After the Hallahans, the building was acquired by Darrell Kern of Kern Realty, who wanted to turn the bottom of the building into a realty office. He met fierce resistance from neighbors who wanted the area to remain residential. Town officials sided with the neighbors so Kern renovated the building and rented out the two levels of the home, Altemus said.
The Snedekers moved in soon afterwards. During a neighborhood meeting, a next-door neighbor of the Snedekers asked Altemus if she could keep an eye on the area because Carmen Snedeker, the mother of the family, told his wife that the house was being haunted and it was scaring her.
Altemus began keeping a journal of everything she noticed. She said the neighbors often heard a vehicle that sounded kind of like chains were dragging on it around 3 a.m.
“We figured it was a trash truck,” Altemus said. “We were going to complain about it because we all work and need to get sleep.”
Psychic investigators Lorraine and Ed Warren were called in by the Snedekers to look into the house. Lorraine Warren said they would hear chains left over from the funeral home in the basement to lift caskets to the viewing area rattling even though no one was down there.
Then one night Altemus said she heard the noise and looked out the window to find a pickup truck slowly stop and park under trees a couple houses down from the Snedekers. People would get out and peer in the windows, make noises and knock on the windows of the Snedeker home. They would then take off pretty fast, sometimes returning later in the night, according to Altemus.
Other claims by the Warrens, such as a tree branch falling down on fire during an exorcism that was performed on the home, Altemus said are distorted. With her journal and the work of investigative author Joe Nickell, they had many alternative and logical explanations for what the Warrens said was demonic.
For instance, there used to be a big maple tree in the neighborhood that would periodically have a branch drop onto power lines without insulation, making lights flicker and power to go out.
She said there was a branch that fell down on fire, but it was a few weeks earlier and because of the power lines, not the last gasp of a demon.
However, none of this seems to turn off movie goers. The Haunting in Connecticut was second at the box office this weekend, earning $23 million in its premeire weekend.
