Unnoticed Flying Objects During Shuttle Launch *new*

Tripod!!!

Tripod!!

Just take a look at the video again, especially the first few seconds of the clip, if that camera securly mounted on a tripod then, the person who bought that tripod should send it back to the manufacturers - its rubbish!!

12m8keall2c they changed the launch count down many times before the launch because of scattered clouds, and a slight chance of rain, even thought it was sprinkling a bit. Surrounding areas were raining that day. The heat from the shuttle wouldn't last long at all..

The tripod doesn't have much to do with the subject at all, i was simply giving someone the answer as to why the focus of the camera was not on the shuttle after a certain period of time.

Ive read this entire thread and ive decided its birds, birds, birds! Also, weve yet to see any edited footage from nasa after 11 pages for conparison.

That's totally besides the point. The Birds would have already been riding thermals before the Shuttle launched.

Also humid air holds heat much longer than dry air not the opposite way around.

If it was raining or threatening to rain that would mean warm air was rising.

I never claimed NASA changed anything. But the reports on the news channel that same day showed edited clips of the launch. They would NEVER show anything remotely close to the view from the video I posted. They all pretty much looked like this...

video.google.com...

They cut to different views when the action happens.

Once again.. Thermal bubbles rise because the hot bubble is lighter than the cold air around it. But if the cold air around it is humid, and has lots of moisture, the hot bubble wouldn't rise as much if at all, because the air around it is heavier because of the vaporized water. Plus like I said, the shuttle launch pad is near water, thermals dont tend to rise near water.

So why do you think that was?

Because they could clearly see (like 95% of members responding to this thread)
that they are birds and birds aren't ratings winners (unless they get hit by the shuttle.)

I'll give you one credit my friend, you don't give up easily, but then again you fail to see reason.

LAES YVAN,

Just because the Pad is near the water has absolutely nothing to do with the heating and the thermals that are generated on land and Kennedy Space Center is not going to be an exception to that solar heating because of its proximity to the water.

Nice video, we habitually only have black&white fuzzy videos of the earth from NASA.. kind of weird.

I'm not an expert on this, but I do claim I'm pretty open minded..
However, like probably someone else already stated (when i refreshed after 2 hours it went from 4 pages till 11), due to pixels you could have a false interpretation of the size..

Can't be 100% sure to say it are definatelly birds but I think there's much better evidence out there. But I do understand you want to defend the fact that you might have catched something where one can only dream of I respect that, I don't see why this thread should be closed..

The Apollo mission craft were not shuttles, they were modules.

[Mod Edit: removed unnecessary quote of Entire preceeding post]

We were talking about how the vultures would probably be used to the "rocket launches", and "loud noise", in that immediate area, to the point where they wouldn't be afraid since the first launches in 1969 and probably before that. Compared to how Pigeons are tamed to humans since our existence. I NEVER stated anything about "shuttles only". Thanks for trying to be Mr. smarty, but its not working.

The air near oceans seems to be horrible spots for thermals on land.

I would say the air around the hot bubbles was cooler.

Plus like I said, the shuttle launch pad is near water, thermals dont tend to rise near water.

We are talking about the effect from the shuttle nothing else.
