But you can do it on the cheap without 3d graphics, too. Take a look at this 'UFO' done using a cheap R/C model plane:

Well, there's a two-fold reason for this I believe. For starters, CGI applications are very easily (if not legally) available, but that doesn't mean they're easy to use convincingly.
Also, because so many people have access to them, and have some experience with them, it makes it easier for people to play "Spot the CG".
Hoaxes using real-life models and old-school special effects are much more convincing, IMHO.
The downfall of video hoaxers is the idea that any one video without any corroborating evidence could ever be enough to convince the skeptics that the footage was of an alien vehicle.
