Weather balloons, Chinese lanterns and ball lightning. You poor programmed people.

Is there intelligent life out there? 99.99999% say yes
Do they ever come here? 99.999999% say what they've been programmed to think.

"Hey guys I'm gonna set up this camera to take a time lapse of this region of the horizon at this exact time for no reason at all" . . . "Holy **** this camera I set up for no reason caught sight of an odd orange thing falling from the sky while we have somewhat shoddy resolution AND poor framerate on the video".

Seems 100% legit.

As said in another thread, it's a helicopter landing at the hospital. You can see how it lands in the city proper and the strobes go on for a few seconds after it lands.

Breaking news!

Headline: Aliens visit Iceland to wipe us all out for the academic crime of jumping to conclusions

A fuzzy ball of light caught on low-res webcam has Iceland in a stir. Not because anyone else saw it, though, just because it was recorded by some random person who was attempting a time-lapse recording with said low-res webcam instead of more appropriate high-speed HD equipment.

While most of the population agrees that the object in the video is a UFO, that's because most of the population is stupid. However, they are not as far from the truth as they may think - UFO simply means 'unidentified flying object', and in this video, we are clearly seeing an object that is flying, which we cannot identify from the video alone.

It's not uncommon for people to speculate on the unknown. Unfortunately, however, it is also not uncommon for that speculation to become conclusion in the minds of the under-educated simpletons that fill our trailer parks the world over. Many sceptics agree, however, that aside from visiting aliens or a hoaxed video, there are many possible explanations for the 'mysterious' light in this video.

One such explanation is a rocket parachute flare. This type of flare only illuminates once it has reached its peak altitude. One viewer who watched the Iceland video commented, “Actually the local police in Akureyri [have] investigated this matter and were able to confirm that this was indeed a shot from a flare gun.” But this claim is unconfirmed.

And the bottom line is, until anything is confirmed, it is in fact an unidentified flying object, or UFO. But the question is, is it aliens from another world? Many sceptics agree that anyone answering this question with 'yes' without first qualifying the evidence, like why they would come here so secretively, and why the only evidence we have in this instance is a poor-quality webcam recording of them landing in a populated area with NO OTHER WITNESSES AT ALL, are morons.

Because without evidence, the only correct answer to the question "what is this?" with having only seen this footage is "I don't know".

The airport isn't in that part of the city where the object came down. That, and it doesn't really move like any plane or helicopter I've ever flown, unless it has really really well reinforced landing gear.

Is there intelligent life out there? Citation needed on the figure you provided. I think you'll find that's the consensus for life in general out there, not intelligent life per se. As for do they ever come here? The consensus on that one is "we don't know, and if they have the technology to travel light years across the extreme conditions of space, it's likely they have the technology to keep us from knowing if they don't want us to know."
