Remember those videos of a purported UFO hovering above Jerusalem that had the Web all a twitter last week? It’s probably not a shocker to suggest that they were completely fabricated. But what if I told you that they were actually posted in order to promote an upcoming movie? Irritating, right?
That’s the latest theory. The videos, which created a sensation after being posted to YouTube (one is currently at 1.7 million views), may actually be promotional material for the upcoming film, Battle: Los Angeles. For starters, they appear to be manipulated, digitally. They’ve also been used in material to promote the film.
News.com.au also points out the fact that the company charged with promoting the film launched a Website for the fake Worldwide Assessment of Threats Concerning Humankind over the summer in order to promote the movie.
Video/movie promotion after the jump.
