San Antonio Spurs guard Manu Ginobili claimed to see a UFO in Los Angeles, and Red Bull skydivers are now taking the credit. Posted by Ben Golliver.
We noted last week that San Antonio Spurs guard Manu Ginobili claimed to have seen an unidentified flying object in Los Angeles and that, while the UFO was caught on video, no one knew what it was at the time.
On Monday, skydivers sponsored by the energy drink Red Bull, known as the "Red Bull Air Force," claimed responsibility for the UFO sightings. Writing on RedBullAirForce.com, skydiver Jon DeVore explained, "I was watching the news and I see them reporting on 2 UFO sighting in Santa Monica. The sightings were on Dec 1 & 8. As soon as I saw the videos on the news I busted up laughing. It was us jumping with our night flares. The next night my wife’s friend called her and told her that TMZ was reporting on it. I went on line and found that quite a few people were posting on the sightings. Even Manu Ginobili (San Antonio Spurs) saw the jump and reported UFO’s on his twitter and Face Book page."
TucsonCitizen.com notes that a number of recent UFO sightings have been similarly explained as skydivers flying with flares at night.
