No doubt no matter what they call on the video of the haunted theater they will still do a ghost hunt. It's like an unwritten rule on this show, even if you debunk the video, still do a ghost hunt to make sure that something isn't there. But where are they getting the name "Thermal Theater Ghost" from?

OT: Since you mentioned Bill I thought I would share a funny story. My brother works at a car dealership and a few months back they hired this guy that, as it turns out, is a cousin to Bill. Bill has actually stopped in to visit him twice since he has started working there and this cousin told my brother that Bill is STILL to this day obsessed with the polaroid ghost writing. He still believes its real and still goes on and on about it.

I feel stupider for watching that whole episode…here are my palm to face moments in chronological order

UFO half:

1. Three lights standing still in NY are similar to a huge ball 

f light falling from the sky with tails which then splits into 3 balls of lights with tails which then forms into a triangle? Really?

2. Why are they even bother to experiment with balloons when it was obvious balloons aren't going to fall from the sky with a light trail and then hover…they even said at the reveal "we tried to use balloons to replicate"…such a stupid experiment, at least they are using high tech equipment (toilet paper roll)

3. Why did they dismiss the rocket so quick? It actually looked halfway decent, I was halfway through my wow thats actually possible, when they completely dismissed it right away for no reason what so ever. They said it "fell to quick"? What were they talking about? How can you tell the velocity of something when there is no back drop and its only pitch black background? I later came to the conclusion that they knew a head of time what the cause was. 

4. If a simple phone call solved the whole mystery why on earth would you waste the whole time to even go out there and do it. Shouldn't that be a pretrip item to check off first? Why repeat it and scare the smart people of el paso????

Light box ghost:

1. Why did I watch this whole half of the episode?

2. If you want to see if something is fact or faked why do you do two of the worst experiments in history and just stop to do a investigation?

3. What was with the waving in their experiments? Did I miss the waving in the original?

4. A light box that "looks close"? It wasn't within a mile of the footage. That experiment made no sense at all to even attempt. How much stupider can we get, oh I know, lets stop the 'experiments' there. Nice B roll footage of them building that brilliant silloutte and light box

5. The thermals Nosfer covered pretty well and it was really obvious when they vanished after someone stepped in the way. 

Idk how much worse this show can get but I look forward to it, maybe next week we can get the puppet alien on after some heavy research is done on it

2. The balloons bobbed and weaved too much, so they dismissed them as a possible culprit in the El Paso video. Then they turn around and endorse the balloons as a close replica of the objects in the New York video! What the hell? The objects in El Paso at least moved in the sky. The three objects in the New York video were completely stationary!!

3. I'll go one step further and say that I thought the rockets were an almost identical replication of what was shown in the video.

4. They did this last season as well.

The balloons were just moronic. I don't know what they were trying to prove…how could three balloons fall out of the sky at a rapid pase and THEN hover. It was the stupidest thing I have ever seen. As you said the rocket was pretty good but they gave some BS reason and just moved right to what they already knew to be the answer.

4. I recall that being the case for something they could have done in the pushing your car up a hill onto train tracks episode. I really find it pointless to waste all this time, money, and energy for something that a phone call could accomplish, or even a simple google search.

Well I meant using their experiment not in general, I am sure it could be accomplished in some manner but I don't know what the point of the way they did it was. They are trying to find out how it was done and the what they were doing was impossible to show what the original looked like. They didn't attach flairs to the balloon they just let three lights hover and completely disgregarded most of the video except seperating the ballons from one to three. It was just one of the dumbest thing I have ever witnessed.

I remember reading fairly recently in one of the popular science magazines (Scientific American, Popular Science?)  that it was highly likely that many recent UFO sitings are trials of new military anti-missle flares.  Instead of just releasing them in a cloud or stream, like chaff, the newest ones are under radio control and can be made to hover, change directions and blink off. 

This is the traditional form:

Exactly, I am pretty sure they knew before they went down there and decided to go anyway so they can show off their skills. Lets be honest there is about a 0.5% chance that they came up with the sky diving experiement on their own. Hence the reason for their stupid balloon experiment, which was done with a budget of about $10, and the Rocket that if produced right, could be a dead on match, but was quickly tossed out for no reasonable reason. Can we at least make up a good reason to toss it. They showed the side by side the first time and it was a great match, then they said something about it falling too fast? The parachutes deployed and they just hovered there perfectly. I still can't fathom why they chose THAT as the reason to debunk it.

How about "You know guys, this looks exactly like the original video. Only problem is we already know what the answer is so lets do a cool exact match of the video with what actually happened since we knew coming down here what really happened. Ok great…3….2….1…!!!!"
