lol I’m actually the person who checked the metadata and called it out on Reddit. Funny to get this video in my recommendations now. Sorry that I blew your first attempt guys 😂
Why bro
My man’s the kind of guy to remind the teacher we have homework
you did good, ignore the haters
@@bee_irl oh don't worry about it, they're just kids simping for their favorite youtubers
@@Titan-cameraman676it says gullible on the ceiling
As a ufo I can confirm these videos are fake
Nice. Finally, a reliable source.
you just identified yourself, not an ufo anymore
@@canalcoloradoaado F*CK
As a video i can confirm these ufo's are real
As a stalker, I can confirm UFOs exist. I watched you sleep.
I don’t know if you’ve tried yet, but faking ghost footage would be a really awesome thing to see next.
Y e s !
They should try to fool Sam and Niko with a ghost video next so they don't see it coming lol
Or Bigfoot!
But ghosts are not real...
@@BestHakase just because aliens possibly exist doesnt mean theyre real either
One way to make it more believable is to have multiple sources of the footage from different angles like if it was a crowd looking at it... a scenario would be a tourist family stopping by, and two kids get their shot as well as the parents.
Using a tesla's built in cameras was a GENIUS idea!!! Never would have thought to use it for anything else.
not a tesla fan at all but i agree that was genius
@@AnarchistPsychoyou don’t have to be a fan of Tesla to think that using Tesla footage is brilliant for this illusion
@@PtylerBeatsthat’s what he said
1 in a million event caught in multiple camera shots, lady driver, Tesla, and in the middle of nowhere. Have feeling when something is *too* perfect.
@CorridorCrew You guys think the truth wont come out? this is how you guys manipulated everyone one that Andrew Garfield Leak Spiderman video - paid by Dlsney to "PROVE" its "FAKE". nice try, the government is now paying you guys this time huh?
This is beautiful. And this is also 100% why nobody ever takes the /r/UFO community seriously.
this is why no one takes reddit seriously
No one takes anyone who uses reddit seriously what are you talking about
Don't trust reddit at all. It's incredibly astroturfed and they ban people for wrong think all the time.
Reddit mods and admins are absolute clowns.
Absolutely, you'd think after mountains of mountains of evidence that none of these "sightings" are aliens they'd start to question their blind belief, but no
Also because every single post ever has been bullshit. Maybe that too.
I think something a lot of people forget is that UFO doesn't mean Alien. It's mean Unidentified Flying Object. If you don't know what something is, it's still a UFO.
I know like 3 birds: crow and pidgy. So a lot of UFOs for me
If someone throws a ball at you, and you looked at it but didn't know it was a ball, technically you've seen a UFO
What the government doesn’t tell you is way scarier. You ever hear of a USO (unidentifiable stationary object)? Shits zacky wacky bro.
I saw one last Friday in front of my door, he kept saying something like "this is fedex, just sign and take the parcel already" but i didn't open the door.
And after the entity left, i found a UPO (unidentified parcel objects) lying in front of my door. Really scary stuff.
@@RanOutOfSpac
Literally everyone knows that. Everyone. But someone like you comes along and repeats it like it's something smart.
Love the style of these videos! Feels like the Office but for VFX artists! Keep it up!
And it's actually funny!
Esh!

The aunt story made it more believable, it's always an aunt
lol
whose aunt drives a tesla though?
@@5ilver42 some baller aunt 👌
Sister-in-law would have been _slightly_ better -- aunt is a bit cliché, but it's not terrible.
@@5ilver42Model 3 and Y are the best selling cars in California. You cant go a mile without seeing one.
I can't wait for the next episode of "Sam and Niko: Fool Us!"
Holy shit you're right 💀
Worthy of a *FᵒᵒˡUˢ* trophy
Hahaha i just love that they actually did this, people asked them to do this in the comments for years
Just don't want to encourage conspiracy kooks, at least ufo people are usually more level headed than flat earth and anti vax cultists hahah
I just cracked up at the comments on reddit in the beginning, its just like that Captain D UFO video, they're imagining multiple craft that arent there "flying at multiple vectors" hahaha, people see what they want to see
Maybe they could get penn and teller on as guests
5:05 it's not a bug, it's a high speed drone. The owner of these drones went on a long tirade about this guy shinning lasers at his drones and damaging their cameras.
Sam and Niko are literally just the Penn and Teller of VFX at this point. you guys are literally Digital Magicians.
Such a true analogy!
Why am I feeling like Sam and/or Niko wrote this comment on one of their made up accounts in order to generate interest in this feeling.
All aliens have to do is change our metadata, and no one believes they came
If they are able to hack your computer and change the file metadata, they could also just delete the file.
The ability to "just change our metadata" pretty much implies complete control over our computer systems, at which point we've got bigger problems.
@@antonliakhovitch8306If the video is deleted, then there’s nothing to post and that’s the end of it. However, if the video is secretly altered, then the poster is discredited and any future claims will also be more likely to be dismissed
Years ago I was watching a show about UFOs and one of the people in it said exactly that. He had photos of an UFO. The metadata showed the time between each photo was too long. The guy said the aliens can space travel so they can also change metadata.
@@bubbledoubletroubleplus eventually the humans will catch on if all of their ufo footage gets deleted, so if deleting videos is the best way we would need to delete all of their recorded videos, not just the ufo ones, so it looks more like a glitch rather than specifically covering up certain videos.
@@JovemEverton
Yeah, and before the home computer, people claimed that aliens or government was changing their photos, but only after they are discredited.
I still wish you guys would do a "Fool Us" type show where people could submit their VFX shots to see if they can "fool you" into thinking it's real.
if they're asking people to submit VFX shots then they know what they receive is fake.
@@Spendy27similar to the actual show, then. In this case, they'd have to solve what vfx techniques were used to fake it
@@Spendy27 There could be sprinkled real videos in-between so they don't know for sure.
@@RealElevenTimes How many real UFO videos have you seen?
@@RealElevenTimes yeah like "spot the fake videos", I'm up for that, seems fun. may even try to dust off my VFX skills for that.
I don't get why the video was so compelling. UFO videos are usually discounted if they're this vague/out of focus; you've gotta actually *show* people something, and I get it - it's a fine line between it being clear/fake and fuzzy/real. But even when you showed it in the other video, I was like "what exactly am I supposed to be seeing here?!". The 'object' you added was so small and unclear it looked like it could've been a fly in the cockpit or a speck of dust, and it was only visible for literal frames of video, so I'm really surpised it was so interesting to so many people.
Corridor Crew engaging in muddying the waters
At this point, I wouldn't even believe aliens existed if they showed up at my front door selling intergalactic scout cookies.
probably just an elaborate prank channel
Well, that's because we know that the Intergalactic Scouts were disbanded many thousands of Solar years ago - it really gives it all away at that point.
@@nithazrawait…so which intergalactic scout troop did I join??
I mean Aliens 100% exist. What's being debated is whether or not first contact has been made.
@@rapidreaders7741 Eeeeh, don't be so sure. Look into the Fermi paradox. We might actually be the only ones out there. I have the same intuition as you in that it is highly unlikely, but still, it might be. Nobody knows.
The only problem is, as soon as Niko and Sam see a video that they can't explain and has to be real, they'll know it was these guys lol
they could make several, or all of then (even better)
@@aibaratygaev6766 All of them would be better, even the purposely-made bad ones
Or they could submit their video discreetly on the internet, and then have an incomplete dummy file and pretend to have ‘missed their deadline’
I feel like that's a problem with this content in general. Skepticism isn't a bad thing, but say someone actually captures something like a UAP, I feel like it would be easy to write off as a VFX shot whether it is or isn't just because everyone is so preconditioned to believe it HAS to be fake.
@@ComingSoonOnVHS
That's fair, but for every bit of skepticism they bring, they also have evidence that backs the skepticism with explinations behind it.
Love watching this done through VFX, but hearing you guys talk about the bug at 5:08 made me curious to see if you can make a fake UFO video completely practically. Not using balloons or anything, but maybe through optical tricks or creative lighting.
If I recall correctly, one of the earliest ufo hoaxes from like back in the 1950s used pie tins and fishing rods to make some pretty decently convincing fake pictures for the time.
I don’t quite remember what exact magazine I read as a kid in the 90s that had an article about it (possibly Disney Adventures, rip) but I do remember it was part of their April issue because they featured a bunch of famous hoaxes that had fooled people throughout recent history to celebrate April Fool’s Day.
I remember seeing the fake pictures and thinking how I would have totally fallen for the prank back then.
For sure you could! I bet. But it could also be difficult. I never tried. I can’t suggest anything to try! Sorry 😅
They just released one that is nothing but bird shit on a window. The UFO nuts are going crazy over it, thinking it's proof of aliens.
havent watched in a couple months again, and i come back and the content is just better than ever. Over the years, every time i come back, just wow, always progressing the video creation. I really appreciate Corridor Crew
Nico and Sam are just Penn and Teller. This is their UFOoledUs show now. They see whether or not they can be fooled by the SFX shots
I see a commercial opportunity here 🤔
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Please show how easy it is to fake ghost vids like you do UFO vids....please!!
I can't decide whether this is good for the UFO community or not. On one hand you're adding more noise but on the other hand it's good to show how easy it is to fake, hopefully making more people more critical.
We really do not need more noise.
There was an old show on Syfy called Fact or Faked and you guys doing these reminds me so much of that show. It was essentially them trying to debunk videos using both practical and special effects
I definitely want to see them react to the ultimate UFO video made by them, to see who can make it more convincing or realistic
But if it's them presenting that video, it will be blatantly obvious that it's fake.
@@wietzejohanneskrikke1910 Yeah it would be obvious that is fake but i want to see them react and explain it with details deconstructing the video, because it's fun to watch :D
Honestly, Jordan and Matt need their own spinoff channel at this point.
ikr, they work really well together as a double act.
Corridor Crew is the spinoff channel.
Please spin them off. I can't stand either of them.
@@zemkluth9427 Please spin me off daddy
@@zemkluth9427 Then why are you watching this?
Love you guys but this is diving into the realm of the unethical IMO.
Well done guys for disproving aliens, or at least destroying any future belief in new evidence.
The real question is: is this video just a psy op to get your eyes off the real fake video. Imagine, if you will, they show us making this video while simultaneously making another fake video. Fooling everyone. Even us.
👀
🤔
@@ButterPecan37 don't fall for it, my dude.
ACTUALLY, this is a REAL ufo video, but the government went after them and forced them to pretend it is fake.
They do have a history of psy oping us tho. The Spider-man no way home leak. They "debunked" it saying it's vfx
I can't wait to see this video posted on one of the paranormal/supernatural compilation channels here on youtube😂
watch mojo top 5 UFO sightings. no 3 will shock you!
to this day there are people thinking their Boston Dynamics video was real lol
@@udaracs5580 wait what ?! Could you link me the video ? That would be helpful as there are a lot of UFO videos there and I don't seem to remember any recent uploads that features this video.
@@ShadyPaperclips imagine my embarrassment when I saw that featured in a Bollywood movie and that too without any mention to the creators.
That's when you truly made it
It is because of videos like these that we can't conclude anything
Brilliant. Love these videos, so incredibly interesting looking at the creative insights!
Now bring on the fake Bigfoot sighting.
There was a UFO in the sky @7:02 😂
& 10:15
& 11:27
@@roar 😂 nice. Didn't notice those.
I only noticed the 11:27 one and came here to see if anyone else did 😂
Also 4:42
I enjoy so much this chaotic energy between Matt and a Jordan😂
this aged well…
I can forgive the fake video but pronouncing "OP" phonetically (4:07) is something else entirely...
EDIT: To clarify - I'm obviously just poking fun. I honestly don't care that he chooses to say it...differently.
That's literally how everyone I've met pronounces it, sorry you don't have friends to talk to?
@@TKOfromJohn "Everyone I've met" - you've clearly not met a lot of people or should at least start reconsidering the quality of the people you do/have...
@@enz-xthis
It's probably a joke since the word was "op" and not "OP"
@@eatpant1412 Perhaps. I was referring to 4:07 when they're discussing the 'original post/er' being a phony' comment on reddit.
I think everyone got tricked because the video looks pretty normal, like just the bright object flying, there is no alien vibe with sudden motions
Yea, everyone in the post's comments just wanted to answer his question as to what it was. Most of them said it was a bird, lens reflection, meteor, drone, etc.. Didn't really see anyone claim that it was aliens at all..
@@Europa_GG Its a UFO.... unidentified
exactly
Idk man, I’ve seen at least 6-7 different people in this comment section alone upset at this video. I’d say more people believed it to be a big stinky green alien than you think.
@@RanOutOfSpacno, people are mad because they are just creating more problems for their own financial gain...
They are literally spreading disinformation to people they know are prone to accepting disinformation, and when it doesn't work they do it again and again.
Also the very few people who did actually think it was real have every right to be mad at them, you don't just get to lie to people for money and expect people not to be mad.
Can I just say how happy I am to have been here since the early days, and seeing the Crew roster grow and change and their chemistry develop? Like, it just hit me that when I started watching Corridor and Crew, I would have literally no clue who these men were, yet here I am, here they are, and honestly I don't wanna be anywhere else right now. Thanks for... however many years it's been hehe~ Glad to be a part of it, from Sam&Niko to Crew Cuts
You guys should also make a fake cryptid sighting video incorporating the aspects that make it seem real that you have discussed in your other debunking videos.
It's going to be funny if this clip ends up in the sea of "evidence" footage in the future, like a lot of similar contest / challenge footage in the past.
One visit to r/ufo will tell you they aren’t good at figuring it out. You made that first one easy to debunk. Those dummies believe anything.
Yep, you gotta go to r/UFOs to find the actual people with brains. r/ufo is bad.
I wouldn’t have looked at the metadata like them, would you?
@@kaiser9321 yes, cause I know the smallest amount about image files. Also if there are aliens they have never and are not now visiting us.
@@JSLeeds comment that wont age well right here lmao
@JSLeeds most people only know jpg, jpeg and png are image files. They don't even know how to get pictures off there phone without an internet connection. Knowing meta data exists puts you 10 steps ahead of the average person.
Wow…you guys are so cool….jk, y’all obsessed with aliens being fake, it’s some weird psyop
Ufo guys aren't stupid like flat earth guys. They want to prove a video wrong because they truly want proof of a true ufo.
The UFO subreddit posted this video on their sub and the comments are amazing. They are not happy at all. lol
As an alien 👽 can confirm that was me
this is excellent. i love you corridor crew.
OMG! I was begging you guys to do this since your first UFO debunking video!
I actually saw that on Reddit and watched the whole story, it's such a treason to find that it was just vfx
Jordan + Matt: "HA! GOTEM!"
Actually lost a lot of respect for the Corridor Crew for this stunt.
@@oldemangaming8819I think it just shows that you shouldn't believe everything in the internet, especially on reddit.
@@oldemangaming8819how come?
@@oldemangaming8819 They just doing what half the other people in the subreddit are doing, posting VFX videos.
Love that Sam and Niko caught this before they knew it was yours. lol. Great channel and really shows how pro everyone working there is.
YES!!!! i suggested this thing back when they did their first UFO debunk video, been waiting sooo long for this!
Anyone else got this video recommended after the Congress hearing.
Odd .....isn't it
this "series" slowly becomes one of my favorite things on this channel
Yeah, I spread false information 😎
Sometimes with these video type where you make a specific type of video of a challenge it makes me wonder how much money you could make if you just put 1 person on the crew on making a youtube channel with just that type of content. Like a channel with ufo footage or most satisfying animations sounds like it cannot miss, you had more of these themes cannot remember.
Great video as always!
I LOLed so hard at the final adlibbed "On the stars and in your hearts" 🤣
This is something special, y'all. Truly a "real" VFX moment right here! I love the attention to detail on the final post + the learning from past mistakes... Great job!
I absolutely love this channel and all the hard work you guys put into all your videos. As an avid UFO/UAP fan, I'm conflicted on this type of content, though. Please let me explain (and I'm not trying to be critical here, please understand). We've never been closer to official disclosure from the government, and there are groups of highly respected and educated people trying to get to the bottom of exactly what UFO/UAP are. Quality photos and video of these phenomena are rare. And my concern is that this type of intentionally fake content muddies the water as to what is real and what is a hoax. I really enjoy what the talented people at Corridor Crew do. You guys are amazing. But from the perspective of someone who really genuinely wants to know what these things are, wants to see real, genuine, authentic video, I'm just concerned these intentional fakes make the subject harder to solve. Nothing but love and respect for you guys and your amazing content. Just wanted to share my personal perspective as a UFO fan. Keep up the good work!
Nah it's good since the smart people will know it's fake and dumb people won't and we don't want dumb people doing that research anyway
This was awesome! You guys should do one where you fake ghost footage.
I’m loving these Matt and Jordan videos
I think they did it too well. Now even the government was fooled!
These guys were children in 2003
These dudes are quickly becoming my favorite crew bros.
you two had my cracking up in this one great stuff
I love how every shot of the office has a flying object that crosses the screen. Nice touch there guys!
On a completely unrelated note, I'm happy to hear that Wren now has another Tesla. I remember how psyched he was when he got it and how heartbroken he was on the podcast talking about how he got rear ended and insurance marked the car as a total loss with almost no visable damage. Glad to see he's back in his dream car!
As an outsider, could anyone tell me what's with this "totalling without visible damage" shit? Why people/insurance does this?
@@Sekir80 Somehow the cost of repair is greater than the cost of buying a new car. With an electric car in particular it could be a safety issue with the condition of the batteries: they might _look_ fine, but they could be subtly damaged and burst into flame later. It's similar to a gas car in a front collision damaging the engine; the delicate part might be broken, and it would take more money to disassemble, replace, and reassemble than it would to just buy a new one.
@@magneticflux- I guess the key is in your first sentence: somehow. Which means, it doesn't. Somehow palpatine has returned.
Still, you must be onto some truth here. Cheaper country, cheaper fees, harder to get a car deemed "totalled".
Wondering what happened with the car itself.
@@Sekir80 So Wren explained in the podcast that because the car is mostly aluminum, it is easy to crack and near impossible to repair. This can range from the frame to individual parts. So even though the bumper to the car looked fine, it was cracked underneath and needed to be replaced which introduces us to problem #2. Tesla makes their cars in large pieces (they stamp the pieces at their factory instead of making a larger amount of small pieces). However the trunk piece spans all the way to the front of the car. So Wren was saying something along the lines of that in order to replace the trunk, they'd need to essentially "break" the doors, roof, pillars, and part of the front of the car just to get the bumper off, and now you need to replace all of those parts as well. So his insurance saw that and determined that if the entire car essentially needs to be replaced to fix this part, then it's totalled.
@@johnkelley3818 Thank you for the answer, now I get it!
and then the government confirmed aliens are real
It makes me really happy that Jordan is using syntheyes for tracking. I love that software so much
We need more of this ! Maybe with cryptids and other stuff like that, you know, just to raise the difficulty a bit
Plot twist: the government paid them to do this
I love the personas you guys have got for yourselves, I like the fun tone
I also like that you keep trying new things while also sticking with what works, you've struck a great balance and I'm gonna keep watching whatever you put out
cant say the same for Hollywood
"You and me?"
"You're welcome"
Ahahahaha, I love that delivery.
jordan's intro was the best thing you guys have ever done. perfection **chef's kiss** lmao
I expected the reveal to niko and Sam to be during a debunk video, that would have been great, to show them the video and the whole reddit "drama" as proof that it might be real
The feds made this video
I love the subtle touch of putting fake UFO's on some of the B-roll in between scenes 😂
Love the UFO videos, thank you for providing great perspective. I'm kind of amazed you've never done Close Encounters of the Third Kind in one of your VFX Artists React videos - I just watched it for the umpteenth time the other night, and every time I'm struck by how beautiful and timeless it looks. I was 9 when this movie came out and it was mind-boggling in 1978. Watching it a few days ago, it's barely aged at all, at least to my eyes. The UFOs descending on the farmhouse, the whole mothership sequence, the encounter on the rural road, the aliens themselves - so many classic FX shots in this movie. A Douglas Trumbull masterpiece. Would be curious to know what you guys think!
I think them doing a purposely made vfx shot and trying to get them to figure out which one it is, would be a fun challenge to see if they can figure it out.
Bad timing to do something like this.
r/UFOs is FURIOUS with you lads
8:25 that Wookie noise actually made me burst out laughing .
A vfx ufo version of Penn and Teller fool us
Identifying unidentified flying objects
Crap like this is part of the problem.
One of the best shot and edited openings you guys have ever done
I would love for this to be a long running series
Cool title, but I don't think I'd say that it went "viral"
That fake Reddit profile was golden! Golden! Give that guy a bonus!
the vfx detail in this one is insane! all the little ufos in the B-roll, nice easter eggs
".aep" hahaha, the after effects file extension and all 🤣
You should debunk more ghost sighting videos!
These two as a combo is simply the best duo at Corridor, they vibe so well together.
Change my mind: Sam and Niko are a better duo.
@@Mew__ Well i's a matter of opinion and I can see where you are coming from. But for me their style of comedy is very close to my personality so I enjoy seeing it more.
Thanks for adding to the problem

Yall got me through my anxiety attack, ty
Love this duo!!
Oh crap. I was literally asking for this last week. Didn't realise you guys would make a full vid.
Could 100% make more of these.
Edit: Lmao they already planned to.
Making one from a ship out in the middle of the ocean would be unique as fuck.
Get someone to record and send you a totally unique video from them on a ship at sea and make something flying in the distance.
That's just something that you never see with ufo videos.
Search up "Mick West it's just bokeh" video for a debunking of a Navy released video somewhat like you described.
@@dankwarmouse6248but what is making the bokeh?
@@Tiaintherain watch the video. It's a Boeing 737 that blinks in the exact pattern that is seen in the video. It's four minutes long and extremely thorough
@@dankwarmouse6248 Edit: searching "it's just bokeh" (with quotes) worked.
(Editing returned an error because my reply was deleted.)
Great premise for a vid, and follow up!
I love that literally every outside b-roll shot has a ufo in it :D
