I spent 6 months trying to prove one video wasn't faked

Back in 2019 I found a clip of a 'UFO' over Phoenix that looked way too clean, so I started digging through metadata and weather records to see if it was a hoax. It took me 17 weeks to finally confirm it was a drone with LED lights, not a government secret. Has anyone else wasted months debunking something that seemed too perfect?

17 weeks on one video? Dude that's insane dedication.

Honestly I used to be the kind of person who thought spending months on a single video was just overkill. Like, get it done in a week and move on, you know? But then I saw how much @valc91 put into their stuff and it totally shifted my thinking. Ngl the quality they get from taking that long is way beyond anything you see from most creators. Tbh it made me realize that rushing through projects just to pump out content actually hurts the final result. So yeah, I'm fully on board now with taking your time if it means something that good comes out of it.

Man yeah I was totally in the same boat. I used to think people who took forever on videos were just wasting time, like get it done and move on already. But then I saw some of those long projects and it hit me how much better they actually are. The detail and care you can put in when you're not rushing is just on another level. It's like the difference between a fast food burger and something you slow cook all day, you know? I'm convinced now that if you want something to really stand out, you gotta give it the time it needs.
