For best viewing, watch the video in 480p and fullscreen modes. Tosee the images in 3D, hold your head up straight (very important or the two images won’t line up properly), look at the vertical center line and cross your eyes. The 3D image will appear in the center. If you don’t see the 3D picture right away, keep trying, it takes a bit of practice. Sorry if the music is annoying. I don’t know whether or not aliens exist, and if they do exist, whether or not they listen to music. If aliens do exist, and they do listen to music, maybe it sounds something like this. Probably not, but who knows? Someone in Roswell, perhaps.
