the clip is very effective
but if it were real
and the people who filmed it were certain of it's authenticity
then surely it would have been everywhere by now
as it shows what is, in essence, an extremely close encounter.
of course, the conjecture i have read is that it is simply a promotional plug
made specifically for the sci-fi channel
which the sci-fi channel itself chooses not to refute.
personally, i think it's a nicely digitized set-up.
but the actress for me is, well.....acting.

Her statement, "It's over there." seemed a lil too relaxed and staged to me.
yeah, a ufo flys past the 'copter cabin at a phenomenal speed
yet her tone remains exactly the same as before it made this extraordinarily rapid movement.
not convincing.
also, her question as to whether the twin towers were the twin towers
strikes me as a little odd considering their iconic status.
and besides, the 'copters gradual approach would have allowed her plenty of time to view them from a distance
and ask the question long before they got so close.
finally, the crafts vapour trails are just too obvious a visual device.
i say hoax.
