I noticed on the spec sheet for the MX-15D camera that the thermal imager has several fixed fields of view: 26.7°, 5.4°, 1.1°, and 0.36°. (Low-res image from the SCU pdf) The last three settings correspond to the focal length figure at the top centre of the video overlay - which switches...

This is amazingly thorough, it's fantastic to see this presented as a repeatable experiment that anyone could duplicate and reach the same findings. It spurred me to go back to the 'SCU report' to see what the methodology was for coming up with their object track: So they're pre-supposing...

Funnily enough, all mention of the track of the Aguadilla object and its supposed high speed manoeuvring 'under intelligent control' have been scrubbed from UAPTheory.com now - the 'Speed and Acceleration' section (archive link) has been excised altogether. Pretty disingenuous to remove this...

I hadn't noticed that - and it looks like UAPTheory.com's author didn't realise their whole analysis was based on a video that expressly contradicts them :rolleyes: Apparently someone has brought this to their attention, as there's a note now. So now a balloon would be moving too fast? Well...

Someone has developed an entire theory of UFO propulsion based on this Aguadilla footage, along with some dubious triangulation data: UAPTheory.com (or maybe it demonstrates parallax effect, who knows?) Better still, they've taken an AI-upscaled version of the video and declare that the...

This tweet seems to be the source of the image in the OP: Source: https://twitter.com/rwcogito/status/1313977091671482369 Source: https://twitter.com/rwcogito/status/1313986011307802624

Those a pretty long exposures, perhaps just an aircraft and a bit of camera shake? Even though it's tripod-mounted, with a long lens just pushing the shutter causes some wobble. An aircraft would explain the red light in one of them, if it's a strobe (since it doesn't form a streak like the...

The originals that have been made available can be found here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1EujeQRTkGl7JnbsBAICTDRa34okql9rE?usp=sharing The filenames suggest there are others in the sequence. On the first two there's definitely a suggestion of some protuberance at the object's...

Full resolution version is up on YouTube. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXiKaxEgSvo It looks a bit less mysterious, now. I'm leaning toward big helium balloon spray painted, with the black rectangles stencilled on. That might even be a bit of overspray paint residue visible under...

Apparently the video footage was captured on "digital tape", which would almost certainly mean MiniDV unless the witness was using professional equipment. So the original resolution would have been 480p at worst. The version on YouTube has been through some horrendous compression too, the whole...

There's some quite noticeable circular blur around 0:39, which suggests that the sensor is static relative to the gimbal rotation. If the de-rotation happened optically before hitting the sensor, this shouldn't happen.

"Go Fast" came up again on the Joe Rogan podcast with Jeremy Corbell last week (timestamp around 00:54:55). The main point of contention seems to be that the object appears cooler than the ocean surface, and a bird would be warmer than the ocean. Is this necessarily the case, or could the ocean...

Certainly a good candidate, exhibits pretty straight-line flight when it wants to, can definitely dart about. Also large enough to be visibly from a fair distance. I also wonder if it could be some kind of beetle species like a June bug (known to be nocturnal). There are a few shots around 1:45...

Last time I looked, the prevailing opinion was that the 'UFO' must be flashing a light in response :rolleyes:

Dragonflies actually came up when I was researching which insects tend to fly in straight lines. But I assumed they are active only during the day. Apparently, this is not strictly true:

Agreed, personally I struggle to even visualise it as being further away. However this is now the most upvoted post ever on r/UFOs, so I guess the majority perceives it differently. As an aside, this is the first "color night vision" footage I recall seeing. Apparently this was shot on a camera...

This is exploding on UFO Reddit at the moment: UFO performs sharp maneuver after laser pointer directly hits craft, Big Bear Lake, California https://www.metabunk.org/data/video/40/40584-35c080a49ae50c40ae578206070b8c6b.mp4 Here's the original video on YouTube, the part in question is at 0:42...

Well, he was calculating the horizontal and vertical components separately based on the deflection angles shown in the hud, and combining to get a velocity. However, the vertical component tells us nothing useful because potentially a tiny change in the vertical angle, when rounded to a whole...

Maybe that one should go in a Gimbal thread instead of Nimitz? I'm not really sure what he's arguing in that one - what shows that the range from the object to the camera was constant? I don't think that's shown on the HUD.

The change to 6 degrees is at 1:04.27 and to 7 degrees at 1:08.03 (delta of 3.76s), then to 8 at 1:12.27 (delta of 4.24 s) - so agreed, not sure where they got "1 degree in 3 seconds towards the end" from.
