3D Footage Of Red Orbs

a reply to: mSparks43

All the interesting buildings on campus, require clearance from the Ministry Of Defense.

Satellites are built there. Some Mars mission tasks are handled there.

but always worth a punt.

Ask if they know anything of O.C. Hilgenberg
www.earth-prints.org...

and if they are doing anything based on his work. :p

good luck on your quest

well, having watched his footage in glorious in full HD3D on a 50" TV.
I have to say it's the best footage of these things I've ever seen.

...
So what you are saying is you are going to provide the calculations?

He is the calculation expert ask him but remind him to use the correct camera data (still waiting for a response to that)

Well I did a little more digging having viewed the videos in 3D on both Samsung 3d tv's at home and it's still just dots of light on a dark background.

Also as you have a 3d menu that lets you change the look of the 3d effect what would be the correct image

What was also interesting was the date of the video 18th of May or Victoria Day it seems there was a large fireworks display taking place , now over here in the UK when fireworks are used MANY people launch Chinese lanterns .

These lights move and display all the characteristics of those it doesn't matter if the op syas the were not because it's actually what they look like.

As for the assumption made that similar lights in repoted in different areas are the same ones the OP filmed, well that's all it is, his assumption.

well, yeah, like I said a couple of days ago.

or they are making/mean something else other than "enriched nuclear stuff".
there are of course a couple of other things it could be
blog.valerieaurora.org...

for a start.

Not to mention the chinese lanterns.
But I guess you already discounted those?

The one I saw back in the day was definitely some sort of vehicle, until it shot off so fast it could have been a helicopter with a wierd light underneath.

There's more than just the video to this story. there is also what he says about it that he didn't manage to record.

don't think there is any need to be aggressive, if anything it's a good excuse to talk about the cool things that it could be. and some of the cooler tech that is being played with even if this isn't an example of them.

Easiest way to see if it was a lantern would be for him to light one and send it on its way so we can see if it actually looks the same or not using the same video camera.

I haven't had the time to try to get an estimate of the distance of the "orb", but a quick look at some frames showed me that the distance between the left and right images is the same for the lights close to the camera and for the "orb", making me think that the camera doesn't have enough distance between the two lens to be of any use to get an idea of the distance (and size) of any thing farther away than just some metres.

The most helpfull would be if we had some video camera of a range with markers at various distances.

Not sure we can get an accurate estimate without that.

Anything else is purely guestimate.

True, but we see a 3D effect because of the difference in the distance between the left and right images, with the objects with smaller differences appearing farther away than the objects with the larger differences, so it looks like the "orb" was not that far away.

Anything else is purely guestimate.

That's the problem with cases like this, even when we get more data than usual it's not enough.

exactly.
trouble is without the range we can't tell how far away matches with what distance.
it's more than just the separation because the camera will do a load of post processing to manage the focal length of the camera. so the difference will change for an object at the same distance depending if it's in the center or the edges.
with a range.
I. e. a load of plaqards every 100m or so

we can say "this many pixels difference in the center of the screen is about this distance".

____
apologies if focal length is the wrong word. I'm talking about the "fisheye" effect.

Well he seems to have access to a DSLR and claims to see these things on a regular basis so have a guess what he could do. Also noted no comment from the OP an the posts above.

a reply to: wmd_2008

Sure he has more important RL things to deal with.
Setting up a range or finding somewhere to buy a chinese lantern are hardly 2 second endevours.

I did not mean what you have above, he claims to see these things on a regular basis , so keep the DSLR handy with hopefully a telephoto or descent zoom and take some pictures.

You can see when a member last logged on which was after ArMaP had posted above, yet he made no comments strange after he was so adamant that my comments re his video were wrong.

"strange after he was so adamant that my comments re his video were wrong."

Not really that strange.

A thread and a post are two entirely different things. He was quick to post a reply saying my comments were wrong, ArMaP has backed my comments yet no reply so I do think that is strange.

Thanks for sharing. Very interesting subject.
