Does this crazy fish really have the nickname
Machine-gun fish as viewer Jerry R. Asks, or is somebody just making that up to have some fun.
I've got the facts on that
Gyrating mystery, plus real or fake calls on a whole bunch of other crazy
photos and videos that you guys sent in. Like this photo claiming to show a snake that can fly,
A video claiming to show a flying car,
A video that wants us to believe this is a real drone, and that doesn't even include the big story this week
Which is a video that claims to show a real, live
Pterosaur caught on camera. Is there any way this could be real
Hey guys Bill here, you know it's pretty much common knowledge that
Dinosaurs and other species related to them like pterosaurs went extinct millions of years ago.
The only place we see them these days are in museums and movies like Jurassic Park
But on the other hand there are cases of ancient animals that everybody thought went extinct, who get
Rediscovered and it turns out there's still a lot. Coelacanths for example were believed to have gone extinct more than
66 million years ago
But they were rediscovered in 1938 off the coast of South Africa.
Then there's the case of the
Arakan forest turtle that everyone thought was long gone from this planet.
It reappeared in the countryside of Myanmar not long ago.
There was even the javan elephant that most thought were gone
But were just hanging out in the jungles of Borneo where nobody was looking for them.
And that's why when this video came in claiming the show a live pterosaur flying across the sky,
I had to give it a second look. The video was sent by Chris Jounos,
John Spencer, Koopa Kode, and a whole bunch of other people who all want to know, "Bill is this video real,
Or fake? Well Chris, when it comes to stuff like this I always think of Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park.
That's right, life always finds a way, so we're gonna take a look and see if life did find some way in this video
The video is titled real pterosaur spotted over Idaho USA
question mark and was posted on the popular Rumble viral channel on YouTube
According to the video description it says this is amateur footage showing a supposed
pterosaur recently flying over boise idaho
USA
Hmm. I have to say you know at least on the surface this
Supposed video looks pretty authentic. There is no music
just
Ambient sounds and the flying creature flaps its wings in a very natural way as it
crosses the sky a few seconds later
We see an instant replay of the footage
But this time it's zoomed in and now we can see very clearly that this is no ordinary bird
But is it a pterosaur taking an image from the video. I compared it to a number of illustrations
including this one from the American Museum of Natural History in New York now
I'm no expert, and I know there's a lot of variations on pterosaurs, but you know when I added it all up
I mean definitely looks like it comes from that species
Pterosaurs according to a video posted by the museum are not really Birds, and they are not really dinosaurs either
They're an extinct group of flying reptiles start more closely related to dinosaurs and birds than they are to any other kind of reptile
Okay, well there you have it. I mean he's the expert, but I do have one question
Did they?
Really go extinct not according to this video which despite the question mark in the title wants us to believe it's real
Okay so at this point I got to tell you to be honest
I think things are pointing to the fact that this video is gonna turn out to be a fake
But on the other hand we don't have any smoking gun type evidence to rely on
which means this video could turn out to be a
That's right one of those dreaded
Unknowns and you know how much I hate those things so we're gonna have to do something special and you know what I always say
But the going gets tough at Bill's Channel the tough go to the 18 which in this case
Happens to be our resident special effects expert mr.
Peter Butler from the public of monsters Channel now what I did was send the video over to Peter and what he sent me back
With this the official answer, but if you watch this show regularly, you know not even the threat of
65 million years of extinction could force me to open up this before you open up
What's in there okay now when I say go what I want you to do is yell out as loud as you can either real
Or fake now if you can't do that
It's okay to pause the video or the comment section leave your answer down there
And then come back here and see if you were right or not a third way to go is just a vote right
Up there you ready and go
Hey while we're waiting for everybody to vote today
I just want to show you this little
Fan video that came in it was made by Rory and Chase
And they came up with this little routine that I thought was a lot of fun check it out
Bills Channel real or fake
Real Or Fake i think real
or
fake fake bills channel
Real or fake fake I know
Hey, thanks, Rory chase
You know you guys just like totally made my day with that video and what I thought was really cool is you also?
included the unknown category and that
Gives me a great segue back to this is this gonna turn out to be an unknown we I'm a mad one for a while
Well you're gonna have to wait just a few seconds because first
We've got a couple other crazy photos or videos that we need to go over
First up is this amazing
picture of what looks like a snake that can fly send in by irfan jesari who wrote hi Bill I
Saw a flying snake, but is it real or fake well irfan as you may have noticed
snakes do not have wings so
Unless they're on an airplane. I don't think there's a real big chance of this pictures turning out to be real you know what i mean
You guys ready for the official verdict think you made the right vote okay, well here it is
this picture is
Nothing more have a big fat
Real picture as it turns out there are many types of snakes in this world that can fly or to be more accurate glide
jig Scioscia an assistant professor at Virginia Tech
Discovered some snakes achieved flight by changing the shape of their body it transforms its body
so it turns and turns from a rounded cylindrical shape to something that that's more flat and really the
It kind of goes from something like this to to something like this
Next up in our parade of fun flying facts is this video claiming to show a car they can fly through the air
It was submitted by amar nahdi in Andres Torres
Amar wrote dear bill. Please tell me if this is fake or real. Well Omar
I can imagine there are people out there who would pay almost anything
For a car like that and I even bet you that that technology already
Exists but the question is is this video real or fake. Did you make your vote?
Did you know what it is you think you got it right because if you voted real you are
wrong
It's a company called Gear factor
Manufactures these specialty cars which are actually giant helium filled balloons that have looked like cars
They use them as special-effects props in television commercials and sometimes
It's special events the way about four kilos or nine pounds and are controlled remotely like a drone
Speaking of drones here's a hilarious video of a guy flying his bathtub drone
It was sent in by rebelcoder who just wrote bill is this for real
Well rebelcoder. I mean it's like I know right
I'm how many of these things have we seen that are fake remember like the guy that was
Being flown around by his drones in a hammock. Well. That was a thing and then it was that other one
I think it was from South Africa where the drone was supposedly flying in person
But it turned out to be a mannequin
It was also a fake so stands the reason that this one is also a fake being part of that genre
So if you did vote fake you are
Wrong it's real the video made by those crazy
German twins from the real life guys Channel shows their real-life homemade drone
Making a run to pick up some food at a local restaurant
I'm not sure why they used a bathtub for a cockpit
But I guess it's a good way to save time when you're running late for dinner it need to wash up
Okay, so now that we got all that out of the way
What do you say we get back to the big story here and find out if we got some?
Pterosaurs that are alive and well in Idaho and living with Bigfoot, or is that?
Sasquatch in Idaho, I'm not quite sure you know now that I think about it
I I don't understand the difference between Bigfoot and
Sasquatch is Bigfoot like one creature and Sasquatch another or are they both the same
Thing just some people call it by different name. You know I really like to know that so but anyway
We're getting off the track here. Let's get back to the answer at hand for the pterosaur. Okay, so I
Think what we're going to do today is
You know we sent the video to Peter and Peter came up with the answer
So why don't we just let Peter give us the answer?
Hey Bill, thanks to Senator this awesome video of a supposedly real terror saur now
I'd love these guys to be real flying over a head, and they you may want to keep your pets indoors too that
However, I have to say I think this is a fake and this is how I would go about doing that first
I shot some footage in the sky making sure to move the camera as if following the pterosaur
We now need Afridi model, so I've just grabbed one from online
I
Now need to rig the model so that I can get its wings to front I added the animated pterosaur to the footage
But at the moment it goes in front of the trees
so now I need to add a mask so that it appears to go behind these objects and
A bit of color correction, so it looks like it's far away, and that's it now
This is just one way that you could fake this although. I have to say
I'm not 100% sure that this is actually CG in fact. I wouldn't be surprised if it was some kind of model
Remote-controlled in some way just look at the way it helps at about halfway through the video looks really really unnatural
And just having a look at YouTube
There's a lot of videos out there of Everett remote controlled flying dinosaurs
So it's not really stretch to imagine that this could have been faked in that way
But one thing's for sure and that is this is definitely a big fat fake
I mean after all dinosaurs became extinct millions of years ago
Hey, thanks for that Peter I can't tell you I'm like you know totally pleased because it would have been really cool
If it was real, but I am very
Relieved we don't have an unknown
and oh hey guys by the way Peter has a longer version of how he
Recreated the flying pterosaur on his youtube channel
which is really cool use the link in the description box to hop over and check it out in terms of the
Particular story about the pterosaur if you're still not convinced its fake. I give you this an
article on meta bunk org by passion fly one
As it turns out the video was originally made by two famous hoax
Nico and Marko kasuba
According to the article these two brothers focused mostly on focus UFO videos, but in this case have branched out to include
ancient animals
Okay well, that's all the time I have for this video
I'm gonna be giving you the answer that crazy machine-gun fish in just a second, but before I do that
I just want to send out a big
Thank you to all you people sending in all those crazy photos and videos that you sit in every week special
Thanks to the chewy piranhas over there on Facebook
Don't forget to stop by their link in the description box
And hey don't forget if you've got a picture a video
And you're not quite sure whether it's real or not send it in to me at billschannel@gmail.com

Please don't leave links
or suggestions in the comment section because you know the only thing that's going to do is turn me into a pterosaur and
Descend on you screaming
YOUR DRIVING ME CRAZY!
