I do agree,
I'm not any good at faking photos in photoshop - nor at film type animation stuff - BUT when you see what the kids these days can do with special effects etc in movies like Avatar etc - you come to realise that what we see on a screen now days really cannot be fully believed any more.
The world of make believe is good enough to fool a lot of people these days. Take holograms as just one example.
I'm imagining if it was me who wanted to fake that vid, I'd have to run and catch a sound source like 3 f 18's or whatever they are, then use some kind of software that places a round object (UFO saucer) over one of the planes to obscure it then get the computer to automatically replicate that step in every frame of the vid so that, it goes from a rather unambiguous vid of 3 fighter jets - to something spectacular of 2 jets escorting a UFO!
Now here is something that occurs to me! The UFO has a flashing white light showing to the rear of the craft and the 2 escorting planes likewise seem to be flashing a white rearward light also!
Could it be that the automated process of dubbing in the round saucer shape - wasn't able to edit out the 3rd planes white flashing light which is why it appears to have the same type of nav lights as a war plane?
Lets ask ourselves about that - i.e. the likelihood of a extraterrestrials space craft from across the galaxy adopting the exact same navigational lighting pattern as what we developed on earth from ships thru the IALA bouyage system?
Seems unlikely to me - so the inference then has to be that its a man made flying saucer - which was built to comply with the regulation night time navigational lights requirements of all flying air craft!
Maybe its just a small oversight the person who photo-shopped this video never considered. As a master 5 mariner with knowledge of IALA bouyage lights (and flying boats clearance / nav lights etc) - its something that occurred to me that might have been missed by the average viewer.
With all that said - It's still bloody cool whoever did it - which is why I posted it for others to share! What if its unedited / real? Why no mainstream media coverage? It ought to be breaking news on every TV screen in the world of true! When will we see Obama standing on the white - house lawn with an alien grey announcing disclosure of the Alien presence?
Interesting times are definitely upon us, no matter how you look at it!
Cheers!

Probably because it is fake. If it had even a shred of provenance I am sure some news agency would have scooped it. Still wicked cool.

I'm not inclined to believe it - BUT - theres a part of me that wishes Aliens would make contact and help us sort out the fricken mess we are making of this planet.
I spent some years working within environment (Forester) and ten as a environmental consultant (Forestry and Fisheries) and so I am acutely aware of the exponential rate at which a population of the globe growing towards 7 billion is screwing up the ecosystems that sustain life on this planet.
So something else I am aware of is that when any population explodes beyond its sustained yield level - there comes along a balancing mechanism in disease death war etc, that returns the population to within sustained yield limits.
As a human who values life, I hate the idea that maybe 2/3rds of the worlds human population need to die out in order to restore the balance of nature on this planet. The ONLY viable alternative I can envision is to expand our population away from this planet into space or onto other planets of the universe. What worries me about that, is that we would just be spreading our malaise across the universe, essentially humans are a virus - and a fatal one for life at that! We simply don't deserve to propagate across the universe in our current state. What right have we to other planets if we cannot manage ourselves and the resources of this one?
If I were any part of some kind of galactic federation of planets, and I saw us about to spread our virus into space and across the universe - hell I'd wipe us out like we do to bad viruses with medicine/ anti-biotics.
Maybe what we do need is a visit from Aliens - if not to wipe us out - to help us come to terms with managing ourselves and our resources in a sustainable way so that we don't become a universal threat to the overall balance of life.
There are probably a universal set of "rules" that could accomplish this. I'm betting they will turn out to be the 10 commandments, when it all comes down to it!
BUT - unless another more advanced life form showed up and explained that to us in a manner we could understand it appears we aren't yet ready to heed the message. Do we really want to spread everything that is bad about humankind across the universe?
What did they do wrong to deserve us in our current form...greed, corruption, war etc - like the rest of the Universe needs that! Humanity is at a point where it needs REAL help.
We are at a point where we are about to conquer time and become immortal - and there's no way we are ready for that in our current mindset Perhaps in the same way that God wiped out humanity and save just Noah and his family and the animals and started afresh after the flood - maybe the worlds reached that point again and its time again for a similar house cleaning.
We are approaching a tipping point from which there is no retreat! The problem is most of us aren't ready!
Now - with intensive training coaching etc maybe we could be made ready but that i think would take an outside influence - because we do not seem to be capable of it ourselves.
Least that's my view at this point in Time. Cheers

Am i the only one who noticed the little smoke "trail" of the jet on the right? It's in the second pass.

Yes its very brief & seems to be as the jet passes thru a small cloud. Is there something factual we should draw from that observation?

I am still trying to figure out what model of jet those are. It is obviously a swing wing jet but it looks a little too much like a sprite in the way it behaves in the video. I also have a hard time with the speed. In the first pass they were really hauling ass, and it seems that they should have been farther away at that speed by the time he ran over to look at the second pass. It could be nothing, but I spend a lot of time looking at passing aircraft and many times after running outside to look at them after first hearing the noise, the aircraft are already out of sight.

I immediately thought of our aging / retired f111's swing wings, but I didn't think any were left flying these days? They would have to be well sub sonic as you say to be able to catch a second glimpse of them. Interesting all the same.
Cheers
