At least they debunked the UFO, but they could probably have saved a bit of time and effort by doing some legwork ahead of time and getting hold of the Park first. Was nice, though, to see the comparison of the shots, however perhaps they could have then used the remaining time to look at a third case.
I do notice a bit of a trend starting after two episodes. They start with the premise of examining existing footage, but now once in each of the two-story segments they are witnessing things of their own. In last weeks it was the "zigzagging" UFO, and in this week's they have the figures and the failing batteries/cameras.
I wonder in last night's episode why they didn't center more on the figures rather than leaving them at the far left of screen.
Editing may remove a lot, but I found it interesting that they considered all these witnesses to be so credible…was that based solely on the voice-analysis that was done?

What did anybody make of the stick figures in the night crawler segment ? It looked so grainy to me that I couldn't even make a guess as to what they were .

That was my thought – they could have done the entire UFO segment on the phone.
The explanation for the bad recording of the "night crawler" footage turned me against it from the beginning. Security recorders are made to provide permanent records, the guy knew how to rewind the tape and play it again to re-record it with his cam-corder, and he didn't remove and preserve the original ? I'm not buying a lot of it.
The little Keystone Kops performance in the park didn't do anyting to improve on it. The FLIR picks up two signatures in the trees and they don't immediately head towards it ?
I think I'll be checking out the reviews here before deciding to watch this show again.

That WAS rather infuriating! I was suggesting to the TV screen "Well, get in CLOSER!"
He set up the camera because he heard dogs barking and thought there were burglars? Then apparently went to bed. And then woke up at this particular moment? And in the 5 minutes between Stick Figure 1 and Stick Figure 2 going across the screen he didn't go out and check? Or did he just see the 2nd one going across and that's when he got his camcorder?

These idiots on this show must be graduates of the Perry Normal Detechtin' School. Grant Wilson, Dean.
I mean a ufo in your neighborhood should be a mile marker in one's life.
Apparently not in Lake Havasu.
I imagine a scenario like this.
Lil' Timmy is outside playing catch with Spot.
He looks up.
"Dad! Dad! Come quick. there' a flying saucer out here"!
"Now Timothy" Dad replied, "we told you before about taking your sister's Ritalan".
"No Dad" "I'm clean now" "Haven't tested positive for months".
"Grab your camera Dad".
Dad gets camera and goes outside. He looks up. "Well I'll be…."
Dad records 20 minutes of ufo footage.
"Okay everyone, the chicken casserole is ready" Mom shouts out the back door.
"Come on son, let's eat". "Yum".
Family eats dinner.
Cleans off the table.
Looks out the window.
Ufo is still there.
"C'mon son, let's catch the second half of that Oakland-Cleveland game"."Bet it's a real nail biter".
After the game. Look out the window.
Ufo is still there.
Now at what point in time did Dad and Timmy realize they were stupid enough to be fooled by a balloon?
Orrrr, at what point did they think I was stupid enough to be fooled by their hoax.
These are supposed "experts" on this show?
Credentials please.
I think Jason may have finally found a job for that GH FBI guy he's always talking about.

LOL, it's almost like it's setting up the way some of the GH ones were. Show a half episode of "solid debunking" to counterbalance the other part of the hour and perhaps folks will be more likely to believe when we see our own UFO or creatures under a tree.
That second one was pretty odd in that only half the half-episode dealt with the reported video, the other part was them deciding to go off into the other area and have their own adventure.

After watching two shows I did notice the pattern of one being judged Faked the other Paranormal, and the first thing I thought of when watching the Camera Recording of a Security recording was WTF, how can you judge the accuracy of a 2nd hand recording. And ohh noooo our batteries are dying wooohoooohooo oh so spooky (maybe someone forgot to charge them?) and our cameras are getting knocked over and we see a couple of heat source's in the tree's (I was think way to go kids see how much you can mess with the fake science guys) or maybe it was just a couple of deers wandering through the area, you don't know because they never approached the area in question.

Ok. Finally got to see this episode. The 'Visitors': The first part of this is what I was talking about in an earlier post. No freakin' way that was some kid walking across the yard; why waste the time. Anyway, despite their stance, I think they did prove it was a hoax with the mechanical robot. It wasn't exact, but with a little more time they'd have nailed it. As for the special Ghost Hunters edition of FoF, the only interesting moment of the show was the two figures, yet, they stand there until they've gone then check it out. I have to admit, they did look like human figures, but with the trail to the pond/lake I'm inclined to think they were just animals. But no, Jael (MAN, she's starting to get on my nerves), I don't think they are some undiscovered creatures.
'Strange Sightings': I had no idea those ufo balloons were so easily available.
I was suprised to see them look at the Gettysburg Ghosts video. I thought that had been debunked long ago.
