Personally, I'd say that Any coloration around the edges or individual objects is more a result of compression artifacts, distance, and lighting than anything else. Though, your mileage may vary with regards to individual perception.

If that's what you Want to see, perhaps. Me? I see falling debris being misconstrued as something more that it actually is, mostly due to camera angle, vantage point and overall perspective.

Again ... until you're able to nail down the Actual make, model and IR capabilities for the camera used to obtain this footage, the rest is nothing more than an opinion ... regardless of how educated, informed, or knowledgeable that opinion may be.

I guarantee you that a LOT of cameras are different and they all display a different range of light.

Void the camera's specs, HOW can you possibly ascertain it's capabilities? ... or lack thereof, for that matter. (?)
My camera can see a blinking IR remote when I point the remote control directly into the camera. Doesn't that mean it is IR sensitive?
No, not really. IR remotes pulse infrared LED's at very high power levels. When you point the remote at a color digital camera or camcorder, some of the IR light leaks through the cameras IR Cut Filter (ICF). All color cameras and camcorders must have an ICF because the color mosaic filter that lets the camera see color lets in IR light at certain wavelengths. If the cameras didn't have an ICF, colors would look very odd when you went outside. However, the ICF is not 100% effective. A little bit of IR light can leak through. Because the IR LED is being pulsed at a high level, the camera can see the IR light. If you try to take an IR picture with a stock camera, you can sometimes do so, but you will have to use a low cut IR filter (like a 715nm one) and you will need very long exposure times (like 1 minute or more). In contrast, a modified camera can take pictures at about the same speeds in outdoor sunlight with a 715nm filter as a stock camera can take a visible picture.
Instead, a series of coded pulses of laser-light are fired.

Another reason we see the laser, is because it was "pulsed" probably at a "high level" in order for the munitions to find it.

Just an observation.
In the video posted by 11 11, the object in contention travels slowly from left to right at a downward angle across a VERY large area.

A targeting laser, to be accurate, it must be as still as possible.
Originally posted by jfj123
The object follows a pretty straight line as 11 11 has shown in a number of enhanced photos. This straight line and fairly steady speed shows CONTROL.
Originally posted by jfj123
Now if this object was under control and could be run in a very straight line at a fairly constant speed, it could also be held very still, preventing it from running across 2 entire buildings. Again, a military targeting laser needs to stay as still as possible to get the best accuracy and moving across the face of 2 large buildings is far from being accurate.

Apples and Oranges. A TV Remote versus that which you're claiming in this thread. (also, refer to the above regarding source)

You might want to add a low cut IR filter and long exposure times to the jovial list that I posted previously.

"probably" being the "horse" here, the painting of which has apparently resulted in numerous variations thereof.
Although the laser was in CONTROL, it was not exactly in someones hands, it was probably fixed to a jet, and the jet was in control.
I do understand ALL available technology the military has, but, I truly can't explain why they would use this type of older style method. Maybe they were on a low budget.

I hope you're being sarcastic because no single individual knows about ALL available technology the military has. Especially since you don't have a top level clearance to even know what some of the "top secret" weapons in development are ! You may want to bring it down a notch with comments like that.
Same thing with the WTC laser, thats why I think the laser is coming from a jet, or moving aircraft. I believe they just waited for the WTC building to pass in front of their fixed laser designator.

I forgot to mention this video disproves your theory of "debris". As we would see a 12 foot piece of debris in the video it if it WERE debris.
Since it is a laser, and the camera is facing the wrong direction, and the camera surely has a powerful ICF (hence the clear picture), we don't see the laser in the video.

You will see that cheap cameras have crappy IR filters, and expensive cameras do not have crappy IR filters. Hence the reason why only 1 camera see it, because only 1 camera was cheap enough and at the right angle.

As with your claims regarding the Camera Planet video, I think that statement would be better received and more accurate if prefaced with, "In my opinion". Not that doing so would lend any further credibility to such an all-encompassing assertion, but at least it would afford others the knowledge and or understanding of it being an opinion and nothing more.
Originally posted by 12m8keall2c
You're still claiming that the camera in question was the One and Only that was able to record the supposed laser, yet without knowing for certain the make, model, capabilities, or lack thereof there is absolutely No means by which to prove that whatsoever. Therefore, until said information is acquired, confirmed or documented, your theory remains just that a theory ... an opinion, your's.
Originally posted by 12m8keall2c
To claim something as fact without having acquired and examined all pertinent data or information is quite foolhardy, in my opinion.

Personally, I'm seeing more and more a situation of, "I thee 11 11 take you 911 laser as my lawfulwifetheory", but perhaps that's just me.
