Octopus UFO filmed in Brazil IS NOT A UFO

I have seen this video and many others in many UFO sites. Even though I would love to bring this forward as real I have to discard this one.

This is one of the videos that have been going around the internet:


Here's another one:


These are giant paper hot air baloons. Yes, it is still done in Brazil, apart from the fire hazards. It is illegal but many people still do it, I grew up watching many of these flying across the sky, (back then it was still legal to do so) They have many shapes. Some have lanterns, sometimes hundreds of them with small candles in them, and those are usually launched at night. Some have also fireworks attached to them. This is a big huge illegal "business" that still happens there, although now less than what I used to see growing up. June is the month when you see most of these baloons in the sky. And every kid runs to 'catch" a baloon that is falling down, it is some sort of "prize" for them.


Here's a Google translation of what these are. Here's the original link, in Portuguese.












And here are more videos of these baloons being launched.

Knock Out UFOs

It was claimed last night, the RAF pilots have tried to BLAST UFOs out of the sky under a top secret Government directive.

Former Ministry of Defence worker Nick Pope who had been working for them for 21 years including three years at the UFO desk, revealed the rules of engagement for the first time. He claimed that RAF pilots had fired on UFOs on several occasions, but had failed to bring them down.

He added "We know of cases where the order has been given to shoot down — with little effect to the UFO."

Nick Pope said "the Rules of engagement were drawn up after dozens of close encounters with suspect craft in British Airspace."

RAF attacks on UFOs were "not automatic but happen when something in our airspace is deemed to be a threat. The orders had been issued under the highly classified directive since the early 1980s".

He also claimed credible UFO witness statements had come from dozens of near misses with the planes, police helicopters and RAF jets in recent years.

U.K. Media Offer UFO Theories for Wind-Turbine Attack

By David Altaner

Jan. 9 (Bloomberg) -- U.K. media, including Rupert Murdoch’s The Sun, are speculating whether a Lincolnshire wind turbine was wrecked by a UFO with tentacles like an octopus.

On Jan. 4, a 90-meter tall wind generator near Conisholme, England was damaged, with one of its 20-meter blades torn off. Yesterday, The Sun’s front-page story blamed an “octopus UFO,” citing residents who’d seen “mysterious flashing orangey-yellow spheres.” Today’s story, “Close Encounters of the Turbine,” suggested a secret “robot stealth bomber” led to the UFO sightings. The same ideas were also published in the Daily Mail newspaper.

Ecotricity, the Stroud, England-based power provider that owns the 800-kilowatt generator, lists more than a dozen stories behind a cartoon on its Web site featuring a turbine next to a cow being beamed up by an alien spacecraft. Managing Director Dale Vince, who was interviewed over the mystery on BBC Radio 4, said the company is still investigating.

“We have been crawling all over it and have sent bits off for analysis to see if we can work out what caused it,” Vince said on the company’s Web site. “To make one of these blades fall off, or to bend it, takes a lot.”

The story was first reported on Jan. 6 in the local Lincolnshire paper, the Louth Leader, which quoted a resident saying he saw a “massive ball of light” with “tentacles going right down to the ground” the night before the incident.

“UFOs sell newspapers, especially on slow news days such as post-Christmas and summer silly season,” said David Clarke, a journalism lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University who writes about UFOs and other supernatural beliefs. “Never was the phrase, ‘Why let the facts get in the way of a good story?’ more appropriate.”

The Guardian and the Financial Times newspapers claim to have solved at least part of the mystery. The Guardian’s director of digital content, Emily Bell, cited a fireworks display she helped arrange for her father’s birthday celebration Jan. 3, less than two miles from the turbine. Her husband, Ed Crooks, writing in the Financial Times, said some of the pyrotechnics “looked rather like octopus tentacles.”

The turbine manufacturer, Germany’s Enercon, is examining some of the broken parts.

“It was not a flying object, ice or extreme wind gusts,” said Henri Joppien, a salesman for Enercon, by phone today. “There is no general defect or manufacturer’s problem. All the rest is speculation.”
