Debunking Vegas Rumors: Videos Were Never Shown on the Globe
Some videos spotted on the MSG Sphere's enormous exterior screen - like a flashing eye, a basketball, even the Moon - have amazed people. This is understandable, given the large number of social media users who are readily influenced by all forms of content. As a result, many fake Sphere displays have tried to trick people into believing these mockups.
Last week, avideo featuring what appeared to be the Israeli flag appeared online. However, the next day, the Sphere itself debunked the video, but only after it had gained hundreds of thousands of likes and shares. Even some prominent media outlets got deceived, like the Breaking News Network and gossip reporter Perez Hilton, whose accounts still haven't removed their posts.
Don't Take Everything at Face Value
The creator of the Israeli video was a Twitter account named "Tallywood," controlled by Tal Cooperman, a visual effects artist who works as the executive creative director for Station Casinos. Apparently, Cooperman, an Israeli national, didn't create the video with the intention of spreading misinformation, but to express his support for the festivalgoers who were harmed, killed, or taken hostage by Hamas on October 7.
Making fake Sphere videos has become quite common. We've even got a "Vegas sphere fake or real" category on Tiktok. There's also a filter on TikTok that puts users' faces straight onto the Exosphere, but the results don't look very convincing.
Here are some of the most believable - and entertaining - fake Sphere images:
