Koi UFO Video 129 : Air Force One escorted by UFO (Section 51)
[DEBUNKED] Koi UFO Video 129 appears to show two UFOs flying alongside Air Force 1. A caption on the video states "August 2016 - USA Seattle - Air Force One Escorted By TR-3B UFO...". A logo on the UFO video refers to "Section 51".
This video was posted online in August 2016 by "Section 51". While virtually other Section 51 videos remain online indefinitely (even if clearly established as hoaxes), this video was taken down fairly quickly (possibly because of a copyright claim by the owner of the source footage onto which the "UFOs" had been superimposed). Copies of the video remain on other Youtube channels. For example, a copy on the "Alien 2016" channel on Youtube is accompanied by text stating "AIR FORCE ONE escorted by UFO TR 3B !!! August 2016".
This video circulated on Facebook during August 2016, where one of the many posts of the video was shared 982 times.
As detailed below, a Youtube user ("ATCFDrrummer") found that the "UFOs" have been added to a video entitled "Air Force One - Chicago O'Hare ( ORD ) Approach & Landing [11.25.2014]" of Air Force One, uploaded to Youtube by "joseg2143" in November 2014. This was a reasonably popular video on Youtube well over a year before the UFO video was supposedly filmed. The source video had received over 0.3 million views by September 2016.
As I've been trying to point out to the UFO community since about the middle of 2015, "Section 51" is a small team that has previously described THEMSELVES as "Internet-video creators specialized in dreaming up sci-fi, action YouTube videos, jam-packed with stunning VFX". They offered various incentives for those prepared to provide funding for their projects. For example, in return for a small fee, they offer to take the video of your choice and "we insert an original UFO on it". Few of the discussions of Section 51's videos mention these facts, which I consider rather important to any meaningful assessment of the reliability of the many "UFO" videos posted by "Section 51" - several of which I have previously discussed...

3. The real background to this video
In fact, a Youtube user ("ATCFDrrummer") found that the "UFOs" have been added to a video entitled "Air Force One - Chicago O'Hare ( ORD ) Approach & Landing [11.25.2014]" of Air Force One, uploaded to Youtube by "joseg2143" in November 2014.
This was a reasonably popular video on Youtube well over a year before the UFO video was supposedly filmed. The source video had received over 0.3 million views by September 2016.
That source footage was accompanied by text which stated the following:
"President Barack Obama is in town today to discuss his immigration reform with local community and religious leaders at the Copernicus Center at 5216 West Lawrence Avenue in the Jefferson Park neighborhood on the Northwest Side of Chicago. He landed at approximately 2:45 PM and is due out at 6:25 PM.
The video starts with a pair of O'Hare Airport Operations trucks doing a 'runway sweep' for any FOD ( foreign object debris ) that may be on the runway or on the grass next to it.
Landing was on Runway 32-Right ( 32R ) after a long 12-mile final as heard on ORD Tower frequency 126.900.
The aircraft operating as Air Force One today was SAM ( Special Air Mission ) 29000, a Boeing 747-2G4B, tail number 29000 ( 92-9000, manufacturer's serial number / MSN / construction number / cn 23825 // line number / ln 685 ). It is the 685th Boeing 747 ever built.
It is one of two VC-25A aircraft specifically used for Presidential and government VIP transport, and is scheduled to be retired before the end of this decade and replaced by brand-new, highly-modified Boeing 747-8i aircraft.

The logo in the UFO video refers to "Section 51", a name which commonly appears on lists of known/probable hoaxers of UFO videos - such as a black list on the amusing "UFO Theater" website:
As I've repeatedly tried to communicate to the UFO community, behind the Youtube username that uploaded this "UFO" video (i.e. Section 51) is a in fact a small team that has described THEMSELVES as "Internet-video creators specialized in dreaming up sci-fi, action YouTube videos, jam-packed with stunning VFX". They offer various incentives for those prepared to provide funding for their science-fiction projects (which include planned movies). The incentives include offering, for a small fee, to take the video of your choice and "we insert an original UFO on it".
So now you know what present to get for the ufologist that has everything!
The various other "UFO" videos created by "Section 51" include Koi UFO Video 085. That appears to show a triangular craft causing a large explosion, with a tank in the foreground. It was uploaded to Youtube in May 2014 with a caption stating that it US marines had filmed a mysterious UFO attacking a Taliban cam in the Asadabad District of Afghanistan in March 2014. Many of the early comments on the video speculated that it should a TR-3B (a secret flying triangle aircraft operated by the US Air Force). One copy of the video on Youtube has approximately 2.5 million views as at October 2014. The video was the subject of an article by a popular British newspaper, The Daily Maill. In fact, the "triangular craft" was CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) inserted into footage of an explosion which had been online since 2007, i.e. for about 7 years before the "UFO" event supposedly occurred.
Other "UFO" videos created by "Section 51" (in relation to which I have previously posted the original footage into which a "UFO" was composited by Section 51...) include Koi UFO Video 104, which supposedly shows a UFO attacking China - but in fact is edited footage of a tanker explosion:
Other videos created by "Section 51" debunked on this website include Koi UFO Video 111:
