There are two comments appended to that report. The following is from the comment made by O.A. Veles, Ph.D. in Phys & Math, MAO NAS of Ukraine: A partial translation from Ukrainian via Google Translate. Ouch. Veles continues... I think we've reached the point of diminishing returns...

He's taking credit (or responsibility) for this? I can think of several different scenarios to explain this... all of them sad.

This research involves spectroscopy, which involves equipment that breaks down light before it is photographed. Spectroscopy doesn't even rely on color film or video. It predates color film. It predates film. The research cited above seems to be about slitless spectroscopy...

When do you start thinking that you might be the problem?

Cropped and levels changed It looks like a classic rod. The regularly spaced lumps along its length are wings caught at the high and low point of the wingbeat and relatively stationary for a time. So... JAB (Just Another Bug)

I think I'm also settling on Starlink train with extraordinarily bright flaring. They don't move the way countermeasure flares do - dropped one after the other but unmoving. They do move the way Starlink trains move - visibly moving across the sky in a train.

For the sake of comparison, some countermeasure flares at night...

Distances and focal lengths

Angle is not an important factor The important factors are: -distances -focal length -perspective distortion -focus - The TV camera has a long focal length (telephoto) lens. Someone not familiar with perspective distortion might assume the phone is close to the President. It's not...

I disagree. The diagram self-produced by member john.phil shows light doing things it doesn't do. I think that's important. If you don't think that's important... I don't know what to say. The main issue remains that this so-called "colorimetry" technique is useless and random. MW has not...

Everything we experience is an hallucination. When the hallucinations are under control we call that Reality. When we go slightly out of tune, Reality might feel strange. Feeling normal and interfacing with the environment is the hard part. The remarkable part. What we call altered...

And what about Mie scattering and veiling glare...

Go after them? In what way? Is it illegal to take a fake UFO photo?

Thirty one years later. Quite an impressive memory.

That looks a lot like this

I wonder if they were trying to use a Slitless spectroscopy method? And the translation came out as colourimetry? I can't see how this could be a valid technique though. Edit: Nah. Just trying to make some kind sense of this.
