Out of thin air: Dog appears to 'teleport' on a motorway
The fascinating footage shows the mysterious pooch appear as if out of thin air during an illegal drag race taking place on the highway.
Shot on a mobile phone by one of the spectators, the clip shows at least two cars travelling at high speed down the motorway with the camera panning around as the cars vanish into the distance.
But incredibly, although it seems impossible for the cars to miss the animal, a dog suddenly seems to appear from nowhere and bounds happily over to the side of the road, with its tail wagging.
It runs up to the spectators, leaping and dancing around in excitement, completely undisturbed by the fact that it appears to have had such a narrow escape.
The video was first uploaded to the Internet last month in South America where it was widely reported that the illegal car race had been taking place in Chile.
It was shared in many South American countries before suddenly going viral in Europe with heated debate about whether the dog had just been extremely lucky as it crossed the road, or whether it was something more supernatural.
The spectators are heard speaking Spanish with a South American accent, clearly amazed at the dog having survived, but there is no clue as to whereabouts the incident it took place.

Do your kids a favor. Take them with you.
Spooky.
I'm certainly not one to dismiss the mountains of weird and Fortean stuff out of hand, but this looks like it could be a case of the camera's video system just doing what it does; averaging backgrounds and updating within the limits of its processor power.
The cars race by, are gone, and the image updates with the background available. If the dog moved into the frame at the right moment, I could see how it might take the camera a moment to catch up.
The people shooting the video on the other side of the road didn't react as though a dog had just materialized out of thin air. Typically, such reactions when reality breaks down, are poop-yer-pants fear.
Here they reacted, (or it seemed to me), as though their dog had done something dangerous and survived. One person even pets the animal.
My guess is that this video was posted for fun because it contained an impressive, albeit unintended visual effect.
I know I have read reports of governments trying to figure out transporting atoms and what not and brings to mind the philadelphia experiment conspiracy, although that one is said to have involved "cloaking" or "invisibility".
Something to think about.
It's almost as bizarre and possibly unexplainable as this one:

That's a great video! However.., it looks like it may have been a marketing production for a Chinese video game...

My thoughts regarding this sort of thing...
1. High Strangeness, from all of the material available, doesn't appear to involve much compassion for the human subjects involved. In most cases, people wind up feeling terrorized or at least their physical and emotional well-being callously disregarded through any close interactions with the Weird.
2. Cameras and other electronics have a well-established history of flaking out during such events.
3. High Strangeness is... highly strange. Rarely do we see something so humanely rational as this video. "Person in danger? To the Rescue! Saved!" -A story which is deeply ingrained in the human psyche, even if it is based on super-hero fantasy, it's one we nonetheless consider "normal".
Rather, when we read through John Keel's work, we see narratives unfolding which don't seem to make any sense at all from a human perspective. Voices from pipes. Aliens which have old fashioned pot-bellied stoves inside their flying saucers where they serve up pancakes. -Or UFO space ships which look like they were lifted from the cover of 1950's science fiction, featuring puzzled crew members trying to enact repairs with tools which could have come from the local hardware store.
This video looks like it was devised entirely from within the mind of a rational person content to hold true to conventional human logic.
