Among his other delusions, Doug Pederson is convinced that aliens are everywhere
(at least where he lives), and he has taken many videos and photos that supposedly
show alien activity. In his own mind, he is an expert alien hunter, enabled by SSDS . If there were actual proof and facts to
back up his claims, then this wouldn't be unreasonable. However, what this "evidence"
shows is actually many specks in the air that are most likely either leaves blowing
in the wind, birds at a distance, or video artifacts. On a side note, he believes
that birds can see video artifacts, apparently not understanding that they aren't
real-life objects.
Doug Pederson also once recorded a few videos of an anvil-shaped cloud
(Towering Cumulus / Stacked Cumulus) which he calls a "mushroom cloud".
He seems to think it holds some kind of alien mother ship, and is created by the
aliens as visual cover. When asked what was special about the cloud, he responded
that "There was one exactly like this one in the same location about 2 weeks later.
I think they are there looking for Dino Mummys." Instead of convincing everyone
that he is truly the cutting-edge alien hunter he believes he is, this only led
to laughter, especially since he has mentioned "Dino Mummies" a few more times since
then.
Another one of Doug Pederson's "alien" videos shows a leaf flying through the air
and spinning. He believes it's some kind of alien vehicle, as he calls it the "tobacco
leaf flyer". His given reasons are that it flies quickly, changing direction in
the middle of the video (he doesn't accept the explanation that wind is behind this,
as with all other flying leaves), and that the stem retracts in the video, even
though all that happens is that the leaf turns, hiding the stem from view. In short,
his alien claims are too ridiculous even for the other people who follow UFO sightings.

How Doug actually comes up with the videos is a mystery in itself. He seems to randomly
videotape clouds, wires, and pretty much anything dull and boring. The videos usually
have no action in them. They are usually of inanimate objects (sometimes a bird
for excitement). The videos have no commentary to describe what the videos are about
and why they are there, and have names which are undescriptive of what is actually
in the videos (like SpectateSwamp1). He then seems to stare at it for hours and
determines that there are aliens. If no aliens appear to him, he will 're-shoot'
the video until he gets video artifacts to appear from compression and other losses.
After he convinces himself he has found aliens he takes still frames, uses a red
circle to indicate the aliens, and posts a video of his desktop where he does a
terrible job of making a slideshow manually, of course without any commentary as
to what the video is about.

Here is a short collection of Doug's "undeniable" proof of aliens existing. Be wary
as these videos are not for the faint of heart - they are long and dull, and may
cause you to wonder why you are actually watching them. But in the words of Doug
Pederson: "Its plain for all to see.. If you want to see it." After at least 15
hours of continuously staring at each video you will either go crazy or believe
there are aliens. Enjoy.
