Two Jet Fighters escorting a UFO. Looks real to me.

I was told to watch this on youtube. It's a flying sauser being escorted by what I guess is two F-14's or 15's, but if you look closely at the last few seconds of vidio there is a flashing light on the back of the sauser. Is it a maker light? Could this be a UCAV? Looks real to me.

Video uploaded August 18,2011. F-14s retired. Extremely blurry pictures for how close they were. Comments disabled. Really?

Looks like Foxbats or Foxhounds. The long wing appearance is moisture separating from the airflow.

Wow, I can't believe anyone would fall for that. It's obviously a fake. You can see the poor masking job if you pause it on the first scene.

I have no doubt something is amiss, seeing how they move together so lockstepped. But what masking job do you see? The compression quality was obviously set low to make seeing overlays impossible.

The funny thing to me is the UFO has a marker light on the back. You can only see it the last 3 or 4 sec. That is why I posted this. I though someone could have some insight on this. I thought It could be a real video that was CGI'ed or something. Why would you CGI a marker light? If it's a real aircraft they CGI'ed to look like a UFO why not cover the light? I don't get it. Most UFO videos I see can be shot full of holes easy. This one got me.

Pause it on the frames where they're in front of darker clouds, and you can see the much lighter pixels around the edges. That's a sign that those things have been cropped, and pasted into the scene. The perspective, and lighting is also unnatural.

The problem is that the compression used by youtube does that on all videos. That's the side effect of compression that allows quality loss.

I just went over this again. I see what your talking about. I have a high def. video cam and have filmed a lot of airshows over the years. Even it pixels like that on cloudy days, but you could be right.
Another thing that gets me is when he zooms in as they fly away. It is very hard to CGI something moving away well zooming in. If this 100% CGI I would like you talk to the guy that did it. He did a good job, but that marker light still gets me.

Say what you want about that video, but this is something different entirely. Unless space dust is more interesting than pcp.

Indeed, look closely on the jets. It is more likely edited so why did the uploader didn't enabled the commenting
