There's an interesting "new" UFO video making the rounds:
I only say "new" because even though the case has been known and discussed for over 50 years now, this is the first time I've ever seen this footage. I have yet to see a good explanation of why it suddenly surfaced now, which makes me believe it's a new recreation of the event, unfortunately.
However, the case is legitimate, I believe. In July of 1952 these lights were reported all over the eastern seaboard, along with pictures being taken of them flying over the Capitol. Apparently, around the time the pictures were taken, Andrews Air Force Base reported an "orange orb" hovering over the base. During the same night, and other times during the same week, dozens if not hundreds of UFOs were sighted all around the US and elsewhere in the world. In fact, the incident over the Washington DC was apparently witnessed by, at least, hundreds of people.
In fact, the sighting over the Capitol even made the front page of the Washington Post the next morning:

No reasonable explanation has ever been put forward that I've seen, and whether or not the video turns out to be real, the case is certainly an interesting one.

The Washington National sightings are a personal favorite of mine. There were actually two peak periods of sightings separated by several days. The case is very well documented in Michael Hall's and Wendy Connors' Captain Edward J. Ruppelt: Summer of the Saucers - 1952. (It was a small press item, available through Arcturus Books.) A number of rumors around that one, including the interception of a three-foot wide saucer (though I'm not sure where that story came from).
As for this film, it doesn't feel authentic to me. Computer Generated Imagery is becoming so good and so accessible you can't accept anything you see anymore at face value.

I agree about the video. For one, it seems odd how it came out now without any real story behind it. Two, it just doesn't seem right to me. I've read somewhere that the lights actually moved left to right across that view, not right to left as the video shows. It also seems incredibly strange that the video just happens to be from the same angle as the most popular stills.
Despite all of that, you're right, it's a great case. Maybe Paul will take it up in his next documentary. ;-)
Looks like CGI to me.
Doesn't mean that the light/orbs reported were not there, but the video presented here is very most likely fake.

I agree Richard. I love your blog, BTW. I'll be linking to it ASAP.
