You can expect to see a few strange sights when out late at night in Brighton but maybe not too much evidence of intelligence life forms.
But one keen-eyed resident believes he has captured video footage of a suspected close encounter of the third kind.
A video appearing on website YouTube this week shows three red lights in a triangular formation hovering over the city.
Malcolm Robinson, of Hastings-based Strange Phenomena Investigations and assistant editor of the world's biggest UFO Magazine UFO MATRIX, said: “Visually it looks quite impressive as it would seem to indicate either three separate red lights, or three red lights attached to an object giving it a triangular appearance. “This shape is quite common as far as UFO reports go. “In the main, the vast majority of UFO reports, as high as 95%, can be identified as having natural explanations, it's the small 5% that puzzle the likes of me and my colleagues worldwide.”

So, you earthlings have observed our red lights too. Soon they will go red + amber, and then green, and we will depart for another galaxy. Fear us not, we come in peace and mean you no harm.

Clearly not from the Argus reporters either.

crunchyf123 wrote:Wow. Thanks Crunchyf123. We are honoured to have such an intelligent lifeform walking amongst us and experimenting on our tiny human minds. Go on, admit it... you 'proberbly' thought that it was a ufo when you filmed it didn't you? I can't think why else you'd bother to be honest.
some great comments thats for the laugh :D i am the person who filmed this footage i posted it as a test to see for myself how many would bite .... i had always intended to expose this for what it was to show people that they are way to eager to jump to fantastical conclusions, without researching and examining the video and many others .... i see the argus was proberbly the reason this got exposed to early ... i wanted to leave this up until next week .. but it lasted 5 days ... better than nothing i suppose. i have contacted the argus especially as they know **** well what this is and the article presents this in a misleading way. an unexpected result from my experiment lol

"But one keen-eyed resident believes he has captured video footage of a suspected close encounter of the third kind." this quote from the article is complete lies and speculation ...... 1. i have not been contacted by the argus and there were plenty of references in the youtube video comments for them to contact me via youtube. 2 this video would be a close encounter of the 1st kind. the 3rd kind is alien contact the 2nd kind is a landing and the 1st kind is a sighting in the sky. i stopped watching tv and reading papers many years ago because they are just filled with propaganda and bs designed to keep the public dumb and stupid ..... and you only have to look at our society to see thats the case.

crunchyf123 wrote:So, you are telling me that this video was completely pre-meditated and that you waited for the correct conditions to make it for months?! Yeah, right. There seems to be a current trend of weirdos posting links to really hokey websites. I had a look at ufowatchdog.com, and from what i can gather, the devout non-believers in the world of paranormal/extra-ter restrial activity are just as weird as the devout believers. Your exercise in exposing the 'alien fraud' is also indicative of this. What's your next expose Crunchy? A sock puppet in Loch Ness??downfader wrote:actually it was believed by most people that commented on the embedded video until someone from brighton saw it and it appeared in this "cough" story..... its still appearing on other sites too .... how many 1080i videos of ufos are out there .... i can tell you not many .... most are low res and grainy .... this is why this video got so much attention unfortunatly the embedded video has been deleted now so you cant see the 6 pages of comments. or the 7600+ views or 15 positive ratings or all the tweets and facebook likes that video got in 5 days the so called expert that was interviewed was impressed too so your comment is baseless. and besides the comments on here are mainly about how this so called "news paper" even bothered to report an obvious hoax (when looked at with a brightonian perspective) and implied it was a real ufo ... thats what you should be considering .... hence my propaganda statement. i will accept that it is a bit hypocritical to state what i did after posting this hoax but i always intended to expose it to show people they should not believe everything they see, my intentions were honerable and if i used deceptive methods to try to wake people up from their delusions i think the ends justify the means.crunchyf123 wrote: "But one keen-eyed resident believes he has captured video footage of a suspected close encounter of the third kind." this quote from the article is complete lies and speculation ...... 1. i have not been contacted by the argus and there were plenty of references in the youtube video comments for them to contact me via youtube. 2 this video would be a close encounter of the 1st kind. the 3rd kind is alien contact the 2nd kind is a landing and the 1st kind is a sighting in the sky. i stopped watching tv and reading papers many years ago because they are just filled with propaganda and bs designed to keep the public dumb and stupid ..... and you only have to look at our society to see thats the case.It is a strange kind of person who moans about propaganda and then fakes a UFO video, and not a very good one at that by the comments on here.
