I suppose if UFOs could do anything we couldn't rule out a video that shows a UFO with a line above it...since the UFO could have created the line within the elctronics of the camera to fool us. In the Mex. Ciuty video..what really attracted Sainio's attention was the remarkable correlation between the motion of the camera and the motion of the UFO. That is, if the camera moved up, the UFO moved up, etc. This tracking was not perfect but very good implying that either (a) the UFO knew which way the camera was about to move and adjusted its position in the sky accordingly or (b) the UFO modified the electronic signal within the camera to make it appear to move with the camera. An alternative is that the presumed hoaxer wasn't perfectly accurate in compensating for camera motion when he electronically pasted the UFO image onto the (presumed) real video background (that had been obtained first, so the UFO could be added later).
