This is great video (to my untrained eyes at least), whatever it really is or how really made:

http://www.vidmax.com/index.php/videos/view/2869

Can anyone recognize the area, know any more about anything?

BTW some of the comments there are clever, but here are my criticisms:

"This is a Skip-Bomb
This is a Skip-Bomb experiment, developed decades ago to bounce one or more
times before going off on a predetermined impact. The idea was to bounce
these into enemy dams, so as to get a more effective horizontal trajectory
instead of just being dropped from the top. Never made it past the
development stage. I myself have had a plain, daylight sighting of a very
large, clearly other-worldy UFO, so I'm not down on UFO's, it's just that
this object is known to not be of ET origin."


Clever try, but why would a skip bomb be glowing white like that during
descent? That doesn't make sense, even after a first bounce. And painted
white still wouldn't be bright enough.

"Awfully small for an other-worldly craft, isn't it?
If you pause the video as it passes the poles, you can see that is passing
in front of the poles. This would make it approximatly 1 foot in diameter. I
guess it could be "really little green men"."


I think that impression, which I could find sometimes while clumsily stopping frames in mid play, is instead an effect of luminosity bloom against a narrow
darker line.  Clearly the object hits the ground much farther away than the
telephone poles. BTW, how can you advance literally one frame at a time on
this video program?

Oddly I didn't see much on news/internet about this.  It was one of the
random shocker videos highlighted on Drudge.

I wonder why the clip ends before the pieces settle to the ground. Possibly, if it's fake, the gravity effect would be a give-away.
