UFO Hoax

While reading the latest issue of Creativity, I came across an interesting article about the person responsible for the creation of some "eerily authentic" video footage of UFOs hovering over the Caribbean. They were originally posted to YouTube last month and have generated millions of hits, but just in case you haven't seen them yet, here are the links to Haiti and Dominican Republic.

A few weeks after the first posting, The L.A. Times investigated and revealed that the videos were fake- but only attributed the creator as "Barzolff", who wished to remain anonymous. Creativity reports the real identity as David Nicolas, a 38-year old animation director from France. You can read his bio and see samples of his professional work here.

I'm definitely impressed with the work he did on these videos. They're so good some people refuse to believe they're fake. Reportedly these are 100% computer generated using Vue software on a MacBook Pro.
