I have to say, in all honesty- groan.

If only the Gnome Footage was real! The footage that creepypete mentioned, of the kids playing soccer and an alien grabbing one of them from behind a lamp post, is most likely their inspiration.
The First Version of the Gnome Footage I saw had a bunch of slow motion repeats at the end, so I tried to find one that wasn’t edited for television. In my search I stumbled upon two versions of the footage.

Video2:

Not only are the angles different in both Videos witch makes no sense considering there was supposedly only one camera phone at the time. But their reactions to the whistle, the time it takes for the rock to be thrown after the whistle, and the sound of the whistle are all different. But the Dead give away is the lack of flash light in video 2, hmmmm. It seems like they filmed the hoax more than once and both videos were posted, oops. Anyways, I haven’t enjoyed a hoax like this in a long time, good effort.

Does anyone remember last year a video was circulating with a few teens kicking around a soccer ball, when all of a sudden an Alien reached out from behind a pole and grabbed one of the kids?
This, the film, the color, . . the kids reactions, camera angles ALL LOOK THE SAME, except for the content. It even looks like the same area.
I’m not saying they are lying, but it’s awfully fishy.

It may be a puppet but its not a Marionette . It has too much weight in the feet. a marionette does not carry its weight in the feet. A marionette carries its weight in the head or shoulders. I have watched both videos over and over and the movement is wrong for a marionette. its feet a planted a marionette cant do that. I have been making them for 30 years and have never ever seen a marionette move that way. That’s not saying its not another kind of Puppet. That black line could be a rod of some sort.

Personally, I’m leaning towards a person in a suit.

MindEcdysiast, why a marionette? To show movement, that’s why! The use of a puppet is the only way to show motion while keeping the scale fairly accurate. To accomplish this in a film, as opposed to a photo, you would use/need a marionette. Once again, I refer to Dan Gannon (thanks Dan). He again proves my point. In his second post, the link shows a 49 second clip. At the 39 (before the second zoom) and 45 second mark, you can see a very obvious black string.

As far as the sound goes, are you telling me the noise could not have been coming from somewhere else?

The look and sound only shows they did some research on the subject. In addtion to the strings, there is no natural movement at all. It never moves at the head or waist. Plus, it’s walking sideways!

So, why a marionette?

To make it believable!

There is a huge resemblance to the little creature in the video that was all over the internet last month which showed a group of people in Europe enjoying a picnic when suddenly out of nowhere comes a little humanoid that looks quite a bit like the one in the Argentine video, with a “wand” in his hand that he touches one of the people at the picnic with on the leg that allegedly turned into painful sores later on. I’ve been trying to find the link to post but no luck.
