The first person to suggest the moon idea, was actually suggesting Mars' moon Phobos, which is not round, and it's small, and angular, etc.
The "moon" object, I'm getting tired of saying, is just 100% impossible to be the moon, for the half-dozen reasons I've been repeating.
The reason Phobos is RELEVANT is because it matches the appearance of the "moon" object, as both Phobos and the object are lumpy, non-round, angular, roughly oval-shaped rocks. Their characteristics match, and that's why it's relevant.

were they?
All they suggested is that its the moon.
How you get they are suggesting it is Phobos is

Those reasons don't fit reality.
Many have given reasons why it is.

Phobos relevant?
So where is Mars then?
If Phobos is that big on screen then Mars should be rather large.
Phobos?
How big is the mars moon, Phobos?
How far away would it be from the car?
Are you seriously thinking that Phobos is a better candidate simply because you think its shape matches?
Yu would have a 10000 times more credibility if you said its proof of aliens that saying its Phobos.
Still, my point stands, that on the first page, one of the first moon suggestions was for Phobos, which meant he was acknowledging the non-round appearance of the object. On the first page of this thread. That was my point and it stands.
Whether I think the object is Phobos: No, actually, I don't think it's Phobos, but I think they share the non-round, lumpy shape.

Ahhhh
or
there are 2 posters that don't realize how stupid that suggestions is.
Please don't take offense, it is a stupid suggestion when there is a whole base of knowledge surrounding whats being discussed.
Just watch the video, you even acknowledge how large the earth is when the car rotates and you see it.
You use that faulty logic to suggest it cant be our moon because of proportion but fail to realize the distance or think it doesn't matter.
the earth being that big in the video means the car is still quite close to earth in the video.
Perfect so when it rotates our moon would look exactly as it does that you cannot accept being the moon because of shape, on a zoomed in video that will distort the image.
If that was Phobos then Mars should fairly large in that video as well, where is it?
Whether I think the object is Phobos: No, actually, I don't think it's Phobos, but I think they share the non-round, lumpy shape.
There is no thinking it could be Phobos if you have just basic knowledge how cameras operate and the distances of celestial objects and how perspective plays a major role in this.
This was initially why I posted because you show too many signs that you don't know what you are talking about.
It cannot be, If you were to see Phobos in that video then what I am suggesting is the moon would actually be a bit bigger than what earth would look like from that distance using the camera they are.

Phobos is irrelevant to this thread, it really is. I find it difficult to comprehend how people can find it so difficult to see the resemblance between the moon in last quarter phase and the object we see in the video, numerous times.
However,
there's plenty of other interesting stuff in the video that remains open to debate. The moon subject is finished and I simply don't insist that the OP share my point of view on it when there are so many other things we can talk about instead.
Did you see the flexible material next to the thruster moving? Or the large anomalous light on 1 frame? It deserves discussion and I was hoping Jim Oberg would have a possible explanation or theory. But Nada so far :/
Here's to hoping.

The flashes are interesting, but I honestly don't think that the still that you're showing is one object - it's the moon with a random flash right next to it. The other flashes are not close to where the moon is in the frame - it was just time and chance I reckon. BUT - what are the flashes? On a clear night star gazing, you can see similar random flashes/points of light that look like camera flashes and their is a lot of discussion about it - there are threads about it here on ATS as well.
The 4:05.48 - 4:06.00 footage shows lens flares in the top right corner that vary in intensity as the car rotates, then 2 objects that are in motion (and at different rates) pass through the vicinity of the frame where the lens flares are in frame. The lens flares aren't really all that interesting, but the objects that move at different speeds have to be classed as unknowns.
Either way, the 4 hour video is rich pickings for the observant/patient! lol

After 8 pages of flogging I am surprised that there is anything left of this dead horse. I think it should be left to rest in peace (or pieces).

There are a series of flashes, 3 around the time stamp that you're talking about. One of them is near the moon in the frame. But there is no reason to think that the flash near the moon is actually part of the moon? Confusion.com
So what you're saying over and over is that that particular flash and the 'object' are part of the same thing - even though there are multiple other anomalous flashes that are clearly randomly distributed and nothing to do with the 'object'.
