At 00:25:17 (in video timestamp) the same red lit tower is visible and I think I can see 3 stars
The flare video at is a small portion of this FOV
like this
Are these 3 stars!!!! later on from a wider FOV we can layer the flare scene into it and then maybe get a match with 3LE?
Sorry I am at work otherwise I'd try it myself.
Problem is we'd have to reverse the time to get the same viewpoint, it would work but might be a bad demo.
"most" just leaves gaps for the UFO fans. This is the problem with the current situation, anything odd in the sky is jumped on as aliens, then walked back but with enough grey areas to persist.
What if the next thing is an actual danger to aircraft and gets co-opted like this and time is lost...
The simulator manual indicates there is also an optional reticle to indicate visually the FOV
2.2 Field of View Reticles
The A/A FLIR format has 3 Field of View (FOV) reticles which change based on the current FOV. The FOV reticle can be hidden or shown by pressing the RTCL option at [PB9]. The...
I feel saying 'bird photography' for the reason they had a camera feels more like an excuse than a reason.
Yeah they could have just been naïve but it still feels more like an excuse.
Using film is so sub par for bird photography you have be very dedicated to it to make it a real hobby.
I tried to find out more about the state of bird photography in the era, but it's hard you would need to talk to a 90s era bird photographer.
My point is really that the bird photography...
They just need to turn off the auto gain on that camera, set it high manually so we can see some stars.
It seems they are much brighter in the South American footage, brighter than the stars, unless some sort of noise filter is removing the dim stars on this camera.
But we should be able to...
As a bird photographer with a £4000 modern camera and a £5000 modern 500mm telephoto prime lens with extender the idea of anyone in any seriousness going on a walk for bird photographing on a dull evening with a wider angle 90's era film camera with black and white film seems fairly dubious...
Sometimes you have to step back and appreciate the level of work here, there's something beautiful about this video.
Amazing work from @flarkey and @Mick West
The photo has been one the most enduring missing artifacts of UFO mythos, so it appearing is a "big event."
IIRC it was supposed to a clear, colour photo of a UFO. Turns out it's still in the LIZ.
You can do geometry, its just non-Euclidean, in reality it always has been non-Euclidean because of the curvature of the Earth, it's just there's now another curve to account for.
I had sort of missed that these images were taken through NVGs that changes the optical considerations for Oculars, I think if we want to see flaring from the ground ourselves using NVGs is going to help. Does make me wonder why this guy was looking at the sky in the right direction and time for...
