Saucer UFO Over Mexican Gas Station

[FlyersFan]

Video at the link.
Kinda popular video making the rounds being discussed at places.
I'm going to go ahead and say ... fake.
But see what you think.

I saw a saucer UFO once.
Wilmington Delaware.
A few years back ... maybe 5 years?  Can't remember.
Mid day. Sunny.  No clouds.
Silent.  Moved FAST.   Silver.
About as far off the ground as a sky scraper building.
Didn't hover and wobble like this one in the video.

Do you think you will ever know for sure what it was?

I am wondering what you would need to see to be able to go "ah ha! that explains it! case closed".

Sadly I have never seen anything beyond strange lights or what's worth describing.

About as crazy as it gets for me is one night late in the 90's. I was sitting in an open field with a friend.  Suddenly I'm embolized and there is a load roaring sound, somewhere between a earthquake and a jet engine. My friend said he saw a light above us shooting up, he was fine through it and looking up.  I didn't see anything, I was transfixed to the spot and not looking up.

I think the hovering one over the gas station is a drone. It wobbles while trying to hover and hold its altitude and such.

I don’t know though. Meh.

My 2 pesos…

I don't understand why something so bad and obviously fake gets pushed as viral.

Really? No theories? Now, I haven't done any kind of rigorous review or analysis on this particular video, but, if it is indeed fake, and goes viral, I can think of several interesting theories. Perhaps its part of some cover-up, to discredit the topic. Perhaps content creators know that encouraging divisive debate along the lines of "this is fake but ufos are real!" creates more impressions and engagement that actually searching for truth. Perhaps people simply don't know any better -- it's easy to overestimate them.

Or, one of my favourites: perhaps the aliens are so clever that they deliberately cloak their crafts in cheap tinfoil and cheesy silhouettes, knowing that they will be dismissed.
