Post a screenshot!
I want to see this.

That portion of the video was discussed before in the other thread. One user believes it is a bundle of Mylar balloons.

Great. Could you email it to me (at my username at gmail.com)? If you prefer, you could upload it to, say, Wetransfer.com and post a link here.

Please let me know if you need more help.

Mmm. I think the focus can now turn to animations/analysis - specifically on the two points I mentioned in one of my posts above. (I'll try to get to those points soon and hope they will not take very long since I think they largely involve just cutting and pasting existing data into the right column of the spreadsheet tool created by "tek" and clicking on the create KML option then working out video creation in the free Google Earth Pro - but things are a bit hectic for me in the real world this weekend...).

Just got Google Earth Pro. Is the spreadsheet link still the newest?

Yes.

(I've been updating the spreadsheet at the same link to avoid confusion).

You will, however, probably also need (or benefit from) the separate variation on a spreadsheet that "tek" developed a few years ago which can be used to help convert data to KML convert:

Hey Isaac I just sent you an email. Let me know if
I sent the file right & if you could open it. Sorry
if I kept you waiting, I had to try to figure out how
to send it. Email is not set up on the computer, meaning
I have Win 8.1 & the mail is wanting me to use outlook &
I use yahoo. Also I used Libre Office. Thank you.

I still have the file up as I didn't want to close it until
I am able to get it to you...I haven't used Libre Office
much. Thanks for making this on a spread sheet. I need to
learn how to use that by the end of Sept for a Sheepdog Herding
event I put on in Oct.

Cheers

Sorry everyone I apologize for losing me mind for a wee bit.
I am not finished with the "AM" column...dummy me
forgot that the frames were set up in 2 different files.

I will continue on...

No problem Ektar. Look forward to hearing from you.

OK I did a few tonight but earlier headache has now become
a migraine so I had to stop at frame # 3256. I will continue tomorrow.

isaackoi and all who have contributed big and small to this thread/investigation/data gathering compiling etc. I commend all of you for you efforts. Even if this process does not reap the expected rewards (I certainly hope it does). I am not alone in recognizing this "experiment" as a tool to utilize in future (or past) investigations which strive for hard data analysis.
Slante to all of you!

Hey mates sorry I was out of town & now have to leave again
tomorrow. I stopped at frame #6154 on the "AM" column. There
should only be 873 frames left if any one once to pick those up.

My sheepdog trialing season starts tomorrow & I'll be pretty busy
until end of Oct. Thanks for allowing me to participate & I am
looking forward to the results. Please keep in mind for future
projects.

Cheers

Isaac I will email the frames I just finished.

This is no mylar balloon(s). Take a look at that flight path as visualised by WeAreOne - it's got a distinctly purposeful trajectory. First it takes a look at a small sea-side village as it emerges from over the water (or perhaps in), it moves toward the air strip, it follows alongside in a fairly uncannily parallel trajectory until it takes a sweeping arc across the runway and into the city. It doesn't spend long here however and moves back toward the ocean, passing through a small village? or regional monument or temple? then at last is back out over the seas, it splits in two, they go their seperate ways.

No idea how you got all that. The object is moving in a straight line west, with the wind.

Kudos to all involved.
I agree with Springer that this has to an absolutely awesome collaboration to which I anxiously await the result..
I come by here every so often and IsaacKoi always delivers a fascinating experience.

Just keeping it up there as interested in the outcome.

I've had some unwelcome distractions recently. My UFO website (which I don't use much, generally preferring just to post here) was hacked and when I tried to sort that out I managed to delete the entire thing. It turned out that my last backup was corrupted and my hosting company's recent automatic backups had failed. Ooops. I've managed to recover most of the content of that website, having learnt quite a bit about the wonderful world of SQL (although my recover efforts were somewhat flawed so adding to the recovered material is now a problem which appears to be due to a lack of auto-increments in relation to new articles...).

Anyway, I've now turned out back to the Puerto Rico video and been covering quite a few different issues in the last 48 hours. Other members of the PRRR team are also hard at work.

Sorry to hear about your technical problems. Does this mean a set-back for the Puerto Rico Group project and if so, how long a delay? Best of luck with it all.

It certainly distracted me for a couple of weeks. However, others in the PRRR group have been doing some work.

I'm now pressing ahead again.

Best of luck with it all.

Thanks.
