he got word of some mummies in peru that
didn't look
human welcome to watch mojo and today
we're counting down
our picks for the top 10 ufo and alien
hoaxes
i just don't believe them no but their
best evidence was less than convincing
and who knows maybe one day someone will
shoot a video of an actual alien coming
down
in which case uh hopefully it'll be
better than the ones we're seeing now
for this list we'll be looking at
infamous alien or ufo encounters that
have since been
thoroughly if disappointingly debunked
do you have a favorite alien encounter
story let us know in the comments
number 10 crop circles a term coined in
the 1980s crop circles were long held as
proof of aliens visiting our planet
there are theories of extraterrestrial
visitation
there are lots of theories about
aquifers these underground
water systems that carry forces of
of energy there are theories of portals
to other dimensions within the earth
these geometric patterns appear in large
fields with no apparent trace of where
they came from
or at least they did until the hoaxers
came out to take credit for their
handiwork
in 1991 doug bauer and dave chorley
admitted to having created many of these
crop circles using simple tools
just rope a plank and a baseball cap
with a loop of wire
we wanted to make the yupo society think
that a ufo had landed you see
and after a few years they they didn't
know whether to believe it or not
since then crop circles have come to be
considered more of a fringe form of art
than any type of message from the
heavens
so the idea is that perhaps
some of these crop circles indeed are
messages from elsewhere and elsewhere in
my opinion
means of extraterrestrial origin they
may look cool from above
but they're made right here on earth
number nine
the london mothership and fleet in june
of 2011
video footage was released showing
bright objects flying over london
as usual some believers were quick to
jump on the bandwagon and claim these to
be genuine ufos
why well because it's on the internet
we guess however the footage isn't dated
and was uploaded anonymously
furthermore as experts have pointed out
the blobs or crafts are so small and
blurry
that they'd be incredibly easy to fake
even with rudimentary knowledge of vfx
there's no additional footage of them
either people are inherently pranksters
and hoaxers and
and storytellers and i think that there
will always be people who will enjoy
you know playing a prank and making it
making a video like this number eight
jerusalem lights 2011 sure was a good
year for dubious ufo sightings
in february video footage of a purported
ufo over jerusalem went viral much like
our previous entry there's not much in
the way of detail
the dot of light could easily be faked
with computer software
according to a report from the huff post
one clear sign that the video is in fact
a hoax is that nothing else is moving
during the entire
video it's theorized that it was
actually made using a still
photo with animation drawn on top of it
the bad ufo's blog also analyzed the
video and highlighted
several elements giving it away number
7.
ufos over india in 2016 this viral photo
caused a stir on social media
the image seemingly depicted a giant
flying saucer hovering over the state of
uttar pradesh in northern india
the photo had been uploaded by a mobile
device and well that's really all we
know about the source
given that there was no other sightings
of a massive craft in the air
local authorities did their best to put
people's worries at ease
we're not sure what makes this less
credible the fact that it looks just
like a scene from independence day
or that no one else seemed to recall
seeing something that giant
floating in the sky
number 6 the chile video in 2010 an
apparent ufo was caught on camera at a
u.s air force base in chile
it was reportedly only seen on camera
after the videographer slowed the
footage down and noticed it later
however when you watch the playback it's
nothing more than a handful of black
dots that seem to appear at random the
clarity of the images is really poor
even by the low standards of ufo
sightings furthermore
no eyewitnesses reported seeing anything
other than the actual planes flying in
the air
under scrutiny the footage in the video
has been dismissed as likely being
little more than minor defects in the
video or even
bugs in the foreground number five
aliens invade haiti is this video legit
nope but at least it's more creative
than most in 2007
videos of several ufos floating over
haiti began to appear
many thought that these were some of the
best videos of ufos ever seen
was this the proof that we'd been
looking for um sadly
no as it turns out the footage was
created as part of some test video for a
feature film
the original poster had been working on
this was later backed up by film
producer
george berman who worked with the artist
who had created the videos
it was just a case of hollywood special
effects accidentally tricking the public
it took him about 17 hours to make the
videos and they are 100 percent
fake number four mexico's mulder
in 2017 mexican journalist and ufologist
jaime mauson announced the discovery in
peru of alien mummies
pretty exciting right well don't
celebrate just yet
moussan's first images looked incredibly
contrived to say the least
however he participated in a documentary
unearthing nazca that revealed a more
realistic example
found by some guy named mario apparently
when he brought it out and put it up
pulled it out of the box
it was a stunned silence at first sadly
based on x-rays experts suspect that
this is an actual peruvian mummy
who'd been butchered to superficially
resemble an extraterrestrial
mauson has made such false claims before
presenting a photographic slide of a
supposedly alien mummy that turned out
to be a child
in 2015. he's involved with a website
gaia.com that charges a subscription fee
for access to content including about
his latest mummy
number three dead alien in russia you
decide to go for a stroll through the
snowy landscape of eastern siberia
suddenly just below a tree trunk you
find something unusual
[Music]
with camera in hand you take a closer
look and are surprised to find what
looks like an alien body curled up on
the ground
this is the surreal experience that two
russian men had in 2011
or so they wanted people to believe
after racking up millions of views on
youtube the video
began receiving more scrutiny it's an
impressive looking hoax made from what
looks like gelatin and raw chicken or
some other meat
but who breaks out into laughter when
they think they've just found an alien
number two english spaceship landings we
have to give props to these students
they really went out of their way to
test how people would react to ufos
in september of 1967 a series of humming
metallic saucers were found in the isle
of sheppy off the coast of england
they were so convincing that local
authorities got involved
police were reportedly fearful but blew
one up and drilled inside another
soon after their true origin came out
apprentices at farnborough's royal
aircraft establishment
had created and distributed the objects
to see how law enforcement would react
it garnered far more attention than
they'd expected but in the end
their experiment was a success before we
