Rasga,

Thanks for sending the link, which I plan to include in the list of
studies related to this question. In case you haven't noticed, I
also included Anthony's "Busted!" So what I have here is a set of
studies both PRO and CON video fakery. Incidentally, I think that
I was the first to emphasize the distinction between video fakery
and planes/no planes, which is highly relevant to the posts from
Jeff Hill, which I like but which I also find a bit disappointing.

I should also mention that that list has been there for some time
and I am not constantly going back and forth to update it. There
is, in my view, sufficient proof of video fakery that I doesn't
matter if some of them are wrong. That's why I have accented 5
arguments I think are especially strong. I notice you mention 19
studies on this site, whereas I count 29. Some of those you don't
seem to have included present a lot of interesting important stuff:

I have been a huge fan of Jeff Hill, who has also tossed in his
25-cents worth here. I find his suggestion--that we might have
authentic videos of impossible events BECAUSE the images we are
seeing are themselves HOLOGRAMS--extremely interesting. It was
a lapse on my part that I had not mentioned this earlier in the
thread. I do agree this possibility needs to be taken seriously
and John Lear, among others, has been outspoken in its defense.
Perhaps he will also add a few of the arguments he has advanced.

I see that information has already been posted, but is hidden from view. I would disagree with the part about the Harley guy. I would also disagree with referring to killtown as a video expert!!! I would also think about distinguishing between fakery and video fakery. We can't say the videos are fake, but we know what we are seeing happen in the videos is not possible. There is a big difference!

Jeff,
You have missed the key point. If the videos are showing us events that are not possible, then they have to be fake! Surely you can see that. If it can't actually happen in space/time, given laws of physics, of engineering, and of aerodynamics, then is has to be an artificial creation and cannot possibly be real. We see them all the time on television and in movies, which reduces our ability to think critically when we see something in a vide, on television, or on the big screen. But what you are asserting is simply not true.

I know your totally against this, but just Humour me for a second. What if all those videos and pictures captured a 'hologram"? Then the videos themeselves wouldn't be fake! Personally, I just don't believe that everyone who videotaped, photographed or said they saw the "plane" are all lying and part of the coverup.
Sincerely,

Actually, that's a very good point. Thanks for clarifying exactly what you meant. It's a point that I need to incorporate into my own discussions of video fakery. Terrific!

I thought Jim started to understand something at this point, but he seems to have dismissed the distinction and continues to follow down the road of disinformation.
____________________________

This case illustrates a problem. I do not claim to be the world's leading
expert on video fakery and planes/no planes, but I am willing to address
the issues and attempt to sort them out. The phenomena I have emphasized
appear to me to be the strongest, because they involve violations of laws
of physics, of engineering, and of aerodynamics that cannot occur in the
real world--absent something highly unusual, as Jeff reminds me, such as
holograms. I just want to get to the bottom of this and I am not willing
to accept weak arguments in lieu of powerful evidence something is wrong.

Rasga likes to make the questions small enough that he thinks he can rebut
them. But there are far larger issues at stake. The indirect evidence in
support of the possibility of no planes--the studies by Elias Davidsson,
the missing envelopes, the non-production of uniquely identifiable parts,
the impossibility of the cell phone calls, on and on and on--tell me that
we are dealing with a hoax and a scam of very large proportions. Some of
you apparently don't want to address it. But some of us are not going to
rest until we have the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

[NOTE: The rest of this post simply repeats my earlier reply to Ken (below).]

[Thoth II]

quoting Rasga: "There's no evidence proving directly video fakery."

He's just flat wrong. Newton's Laws are violated in the videos. Case closed, the videos are frauds (or a hologram?).

quoting Jeff : "What if all those videos and pictures captured a 'hologram"? Then the videos themeselves wouldn't be fake! Personally, I just don't believe that everyone who videotaped, photographed or said they saw the "plane" are all lying and part of the coverup"

I will not pretend to be an expert in videos , because I am not, I am good with science. But looking at the plane effortlessly gliding into the tower could possibly be a hologram. But then, what about the nose out shot? Could a hologram cause the nose out? I think other experts like KT, WF, and Ace would know about that.
