Koi UFO Video 075: Los Rosques UFOs (Manbird12000 - Damien White)
[DEBUNKED] Koi UFO Video 075 is footage which appears to show a large saucer-shaped craft flying over a building and a number of palm trees. A caption at the beginning of the video asserts that the footage was "taken from Los Rosques Isla los rosques at 8.32pm" on 15 August 2007.
The earliest copy of this video on Youtube was uploaded by "Manbird12000" on 15 August 2007. That video has had over 2 million years as at October 2014. Other copies of the video have also been posted on Youtube and elsewhere.
In fact, as discussed below, the video was created by Damien White, a "visual/audio/musical artist" and "visual effects creator and composer", in the USA. He has posted CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) videos on Youtube as part of his efforts to seek funding for a science fiction movie. It was created by Damien White using the Vue6 software, i.e. the same software used by French artist/animator David Nicolas to create the better-known Haiti UFO video.

2. Stories and claims relating to this video
A caption at the beginning of the video asserts that the footage was "taken from Los Rosques Isla los rosques at 8.32pm" on 15 August 2007.
3. The real background to this video
Despite the palm-trees featured in the video, this is not a creation of the French artist/animator (David Nicolas ) that made the better-known Haiti UFO hoax footage. This video was in fact created by Damien White. Anyone familiar with the Haiti UFO footage may not, however, be surprised to hear that this video was created by using the same software (i.e. Vue6) that David Nicolas used to create the Haiti UFO hoax footage.
The creator of this video, Damien White, has described himself as a "visual/audio/musical artist" and "visual effects creator and composer". He has created a number of other UFO videos (none of which have been as successful as the above video). One of his online profiles states that science-fiction is a "passion" of his.
Damien White's video was created after the Haiti UFO video and was presumably inspired by it.
Via his "Manbird12000" Youtube uploads and on other websites (particularly his Manbird Productions website), Damien White has been trying for several years to obtain funding to make a movie called "The Great Dark".
Damien White's Manbird Productions website states:
"The Great Dark is a feature length independent Science Fiction film about a spacefaring nomadic alien race, led by a fearless Sovereign, that discovers Earth and attempts to lay claim over it. With their 100 million strong fleet, they will cover the skies in darkness threatening all life on the planet and plunging mankind back into the dark ages."
Damien White posted a video showing how he created the above footage:
Some screen-shots from that video are included below.
Damien White's other uploads to his Manbird12000 Youtube account include guides to creating hoaxed UFO videos and related special effects:
Damien White has also repeatedly posted on the AboveTopSecret discussion forums and elsewhere, including starting a discussion entitled "How to detect CGI UFO tracking videos". In that discussion, Damien White posted a video he did "in just a few minutes" to show how easy it is to take video camera footage and superimpose a UFO onto it. He stated that "If I had taken a whole hour to do this, it would've been nearly perfect".
Damien White's efforts to obtain funding for his movie are continuing as at October 2014, including with a campaign on the Kickstarter.com website.
