This made the morning news here in NZ. Doesn't look very convincing to me, but I'll post it anyway.

Looks like a coincidence to me. Via the "solar obliteration technique". You will get stuff like that. I tested it years ago. It's bugs. The person turned the toy while a bug flew by given one the impression something hit it and turned it. No, I am not saying it was planned. I am saying this is what I am willing to bet had happened. The person might not know about the "solar obliteration tech" and is wondering etc. My question to him is did he make a turn when the toy turned...
Ok re-watched. The "bug" doesn't quite line up with a hit, however, there is a glint on the toy as soon as one would expect the "bug" to hit. Coincidence imo. After the "impact" there is no debri. I'm pretty sure if a saucer/ufo hit a small toy, you'd still see it moving along. And the toy, would be shattered. Unless we have ant size aliens here maybe.
The object was tiny, or further away than the toy in other words. If it was tiny, it wouldn't have made the toy turn. If it was large, it wouldn't have hit the toy because it was MUCH further away.
If it was a hoax. Very dumb. If I had to guess, I would guess it's not a hoax. BUT, since the late 90s I haven't kept up with ways to hoax on vids etc. For a variety of reasons to much to go into here. Ok, I'll be brief. All video alone, no matter how good, is suspect. So I stopped worrying about the how toos with cgi or whatever. Everything I saw on this vid, can be explained without hoaxery however.

This is completely ridiculous. It's no wonder that most of the world laughs and scoffs at the UFO subject with this kind of absurd bullshit proliferating all over the web.

Yeah, i reckon it's a bit shit. Funny thing was, the bloke was being interviewed by phone on the morning show, and he mentioned Rods as a possible explanation, at which point the presenter rolled his eyes and dissed the whole Rods angle. That was cool, and would have been cooler if the presenter wasn't a giant tool.

Honestly, what is this kind of sighting really worth? Even if that is what we consider the stereotypical ufo, or maybe even rod, what does it matter? Would it make any difference in your life whatsoever if you could label that as a ufo instead of a bug?

to be honest, yes. I know bugs exist, in fact, there is one on the outside of my window right now, however, I'm not 100% positive about aliens, and if there was a way for me to label something as a UFO and be certain about it, I'd say my life would be changed.

Yep. Most people who've had a vivid ufo encounter seem to say it was life changing.

I agree, Methshin. Maybe it is a UFO. Let's just say it is - let's pretend a legitimate researcher like Richard Dolan just confirmed that this white blur is an unidentified flying object. What kind of impact does this have on your day?

That there is one more peice of evidence to further the movement. As far as how it affects my life directly, well, it doesn't, though if I were to gauge everything on how it affects my life in general, I don't think I'd give a shit about a hell of a lot.
