Video of an alleged alien abduction is not authentic and shows signs of having been faked, an image-manipulation expert told Reuters.
While some users are skeptical of the video’s authenticity in their comments, others seem to believe that it indeed shows an alien abduction.
However, multiple aspects of the video indicate it is fake, and “represents poor staging of an alien abduction,” Thorsten Beck, an image-manipulation researcher at the Humboldt-Elsevier Advanced Data and Text (HEADT) Centre (headt.eu/Thorsten-Beck), told Reuters.
Also, a “powerful spotlight” illuminating the scene from the left side appears to have been “either switched off” or covered moments before the alleged abduction takes place.
The video shows signs of having been faked and does not depict an authentic alien abduction, according to an expert analysis.
