We at RealUfos refused the post this video when it first came out because we suspected it was some type of camera trick or glitch to start off with. So many people emailed us about this sighting and Im glad we didnt post it because fakes and exposure are not what this site is about.
When the network returned to the game after a commercial break, it showed a brief, 29-second shot of the historic St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans.
Such sequences — called “beauty shots” — are typically run during sporting events to give viewers a taste of the city hosting the game.
Keen observers noticed some brightly lit objects streaking across the sky, and when a home viewer videotaped the NBC footage and slowed it down, even to frame-by-frame examination, it appeared that the NBC camera had captured a very large, rod-shaped object topped with glowing circular lights (see image below right) and moving behind the cathedral.
