OpenAI have released SORA to all ChatGPT pro users (except for those in the EU or UK, which will follow).

This means that as of right now, it has become dramatically easier for people to create convincing yet entirely fabricated UFO footage. Have a look at some of the snippets on their website - they are indistinguishable from reality.

We need to now be even more vigilant than ever before. My view is we need to be treating any new “too good to be true” videos with a substantially extra degree of skepticism.

We need to look deeper for unnatural lighting transitions, strange object reflections, or inconsistencies in the environment. A single, isolated piece of “perfect” footage is now more suspect than ever - in fact, even someone prompting SORA to create a UFO video that isn’t entirely hyper-realistic but plausible enough to pass as geniune. SORA can simulate light, motion, and perspective with uncanny precision so our level of due diligence must rise to keep up with these changes.

With such videos, there must be associated metadata before acceptance of legimitatcy is ever considered - if on a modern phone, metadata can be extracted. Date, times and camera model information is more difficult to fake and and if provided, I would hope that those with photography expertise will be able to determine whether such cameras could produce such results.

If they are indeed uploaded, it may even be wise (after they’ve been debunked), to set up a seperate accessible folder for users to be able to see how the community identified it as AI, for future eductional purposes.
