Naples UFO Video: "Why Does this Sort of Flaccid Dreck Go Coast-To-Coast . . .?"
Last Wednesday, Aug. 7, a drop of water appeared on the lens of a security camera at the Venetian Village waterfront complex in Naples, just south of here. For whatever reason, somebody thought it might be a UFO. We know it ain't so because the investigation is now logged as Case #49676 in the “solved” files of the Mutual UFO Network. And it didn’t take long for researchers Marc D’Antonio and Cinde Costello to figure it out: “The most telling piece of evidence is ... that you actually see how the refracted image of the droplet seen on the housing has brought small particles of dirt on the housing into focus.”
But here’s the takeaway for TV viewers in southwest Florida. The standup even said “Officials at MUFON tell me this is the most fascinating video they’ve seen in awhile”:
Dude -- really? Have you ever seen such a sorry-looking UFO in your life? De Void’s favorite shape comes near the end where it looks like a Venus flytrap leaf. “Feed me!” Audrey II? Seriously?
Anyhow — as with last autumn’s brief national flurry over Google Earth’s lens-flare “UFOs” — this piece went nuts on the Internet and generated nearly 70,000 hits in a few days. Every local station piled on and even CNN posted the thing.
De Void is still trying to find the first followup to MUFON’s resolution of this dingbat trifling. After all, in an article titled “MOUFON to investigate possibility of UFO sighting in Naples,” WPTV’s “Action News” website stated last Friday “The video was sent to ‘MOUFON’, a UFO organization, in Ohio, where it's being analyzed.” Alerted to ongoing research, one might naturally expect "Action News" to update the story.
But the episode begs a larger question: Why does this sort of flaccid dreck go coast-to-coast, when a legitimate curiosity — like the fact that the military destroyed its radar records from the 2008 Stephenville UFO incident while the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Weather Service complied with the law and surrendered their own radar logs to a FOIA request — doesn’t rate a shred of media coverage anywhere?
Ideas, anyone? Me first: Because there aren't any really good pitchers ...
UFO Video: All Wet? | VIDEO
NAPLES, Fla. -- Controversy continues to swirl in Naples, Florida over unexplained lights near a pool outside a condo.
The story has sparked a lot of different opinions.
It all depends who you ask, MUFON -- a UFO organization -- is saying they believe it was a raindrop on the camera lens, but security officer Debralee Thomas says a raindrop isn't what she saw at this pool. . . .

MUFON to Investigate Possibility of UFO Sighting in Naples | VIDEO
NAPLES, Fla. - A UFO organization is looking into whether some images captured in Florida on Thursday night are the real deal.
The strange lights were recorded on surveillance cameras at a Naples condo building.
Security officer Debralee Thomas said she was watching the cameras Monday night when she noticed strange light swooping in over the pool.
"It was down on the ground, but some of that webbing was longer and it made a funnel down into pool, whatever it was doing in pool I don't know, " said Debralee.
The video was sent to "MOUFON", a UFO organization, in Ohio, where it's being analyzed. . . .
UFO Caught On Surveillance Cam in Naples | VIDEO
NAPLES, FL -A video showing lights hovering over a pool is the talk of Naples. Residents say they have never seen anything like it -- and experts aren't sure either.
Monday night, security officer Debralee Thomas was watching the camera feed from behind a Gulfshore Boulevard condo building just across the street from Venetian Village, when she noticed strange lights swoop in over the pool.
"I realized that it was something that wasn't normal, so I was like 'oh my, what is that,'" Thoma said.
At first glance, what she saw almost looked like a saucer-shaped object up top. Then the object went down into the pool and expanded like a web -- moving back and forth.
After nearly thirty minutes, the object started to disappear.
Thomas said bugs fly up to their cameras all the time, but this was further away.
"It was down on the ground but some of that webbing was longer and it made a funnel down into the pool. Whatever it was doing in the pool, I don't know," Thomas said.
The video was sent to MUFON, a UFO organization in Ohio. Officials at MUFON say it is one of the most fascinating videos they have seen in a while.
They are analyzing it, but they don't think it is a hoax. That's what Thomas' coworkers thought at first, until they saw the video their selves.
"We watched it on tape and to be honest I was so grateful that it was there so I could say it was real…it really happened," Thomas said. . . .
