You mean those two UFO “home videos” are fake? Made by A French animator who’s so fucking talented he shits cinema gold? Just like Blairwitch? Jesus, and why do we have to know the truth?

On LAT:

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, he said, were intended as research for a feature film project he’s been working on with Partizan, the France-based production company responsible for, among others, Michel Gondry’s “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.”

When contacted to verify the story, “Eternal Sunshine” producer Georges Bermann said it was all true, and that Barzolff was “an absolute genius” who could “make anything look entirely real.”

The two wonderful UFO videos below, just in case you’re among the three people who haven’t seen them yet.

Stumble it!
