An investigation by the LA Times has uncovered the creator of the UFO over Haiti video. YouTube member Barzolff814 admitted he was the creator of the videos known as UFO Haiti and UFO Dominican Republic.
The videos are research for a movie project.
When he uploaded the videos, he expected about 2,000 views. Just one version of the UFO Haiti video now has 2.5 million views. Link -via Fark
It took Barzolff a total of 17 hours to make both the Haiti and Dominican Republic videos. He did it all by himself using a MacBook Pro and a suite of commercially available 3-D animation programs, including Vue 6. The videos are 100% computer-generated.
The videos are research for a movie project.
The movie Barzolff is working on for the big screen is about two guys who create a UFO hoax so realistic that it spirals out of their control. "For better or worse," said Barzolff, who cited being "overwhelmed" by the response to his video as one of the reasons he didn't want to go public with his name.
When he uploaded the videos, he expected about 2,000 views. Just one version of the UFO Haiti video now has 2.5 million views. Link -via Fark

"They told me I caught a piranha and then they said, 'Congratulations, because you will probably never catch something like this again,'" said Davison, who works for a lawn care service.
