STM,My IR cam malfunctioned and i took it back.The nightshot was just not up to par.So i went and bought a sony ccd trv 560X hi8 and had no problem picking up the small stars.The night vision on the ccd trv 68 is way better than the sony dcr dvd camcorders.And i picked this one up at the pawn shop for 80.00.We have caught all of our footage on a similar cam the ccd trv 68 460X.The 560X has a bit more zoom than the 460X.

Hi JKL!

It's been busy at my household, sorry about the delayed response. $80 is all you paid!? Wow, great! I've fallen in love with my new Canon, but am not happy with the zoom, think I'll check out the pawnshops for a 2nd one. (Edit to add: I just ordered a 10X zoom lense which brings the Canon up to 20X, still going to check the pawn shops though) Thanks for the tip!

Oh, btw, I really need to get contact info so that we can get together when the tape is ready. Please do not post your personal info on the board. What I suggest is to get your number of posts up to 20 so that we can U2U each other. One way is to start an introduction thread where members go to introduce themselves. When I see it go up we can post back and forth until your count is up. Oh, and once again do not post your real name or info on it. Here's a link to the forum:

I'm really excited for you, and internos (a great Mod) has offered to watermark your video once it is validated so that people on the internet cannot claim it.

Can't wait to meet up!

STM

Edit for correction: Internos is not a Mod but is a top subject matter expert and more
Thanks for all your help, internos!

seentoomuch, thank you for your contribution to this thread: i hope you will catch on camera something cool: there are all the conditions, and your efforts deserve it.
Regarding the watermarking, i think it became very important to do it:
many people are downloading videos from several sources, then they upload them to YouTube claiming that the videos in question were taken in some other places: this can be avoided by watermarking the video.
Of course, Jeff Ritzmann, should get the raw footage, while i'll watermark the video before it gets available to everyone: we should protect the author of the videos's rights BEFORE they become available to everyone.
I will send my email address to JKL08 so he/she will be able to send to me the raw footage: the original will fall in Jeff's hands, and the watemarked copy's quality will be unaltered

Hi All

Haven't seen anything yet.

While I was waiting I made comparison videos with the Canon in different modes. The sunny mode made everything blur into blobs of color when I zoomed;

the night mode was strange, my practice target was a planet and if I zoomed in it caused a long colorful tail on the planet as it zoomed;

the fireworks mode was the best, it did not distort what I was seeing at all, but it was very faded compared to what I was seeing with my eyes;

still photos are less distorted and I'm going to keep my good ol' 35 mm camera with me also, and also the Canon does still shots as the video is shooting, much clearer. Videos on these ufos are a sticky wicket, a narration of what the person is "actually" seeing vs. what the camera picked up would be a good idea. I'm glad JKL described them for us!

I would also suggest maybe one or two zooms per video but imh amateur view if would be best to keep it on no zoom as much as possible to keep the blur and tail effect from happening.

You're right, JKL, the more video cameras the better, the more cameras overall of any type the better, you're gonna have to have a party of people and hand them all cameras to see what they can capture. I'm willing and i'll pay for the pizza and beer!
And I'll round up all my cameras and bring them along.

Note: If ya'll don't like pizza I'll order from China Palace delivery or a big delivery from Artz Rib House, ya'lls choice.

JKL08 and seentoomuch

Some things you should keep in mind, in the case both of you catch the same thing on video.

Register (in some way) the precise (as far as possible, obviously) direction in which you saw it and the height over the horizon; with those informations we can get the position over the ground and the altitude at which the target was.

Now we only have to wait for both of you to catch something with your cameras.


Edit: I forgot one thing, time! You should keep the cameras' clock correct.

I'm hearing crickets here, no response, no contact of any kind that I'm aware of, perhaps JKL is busy, if so a quick note would be greatly appreciated,

We caught three at once in the same frame not counting the transparent one and then a very big one in the same video.They were different types,The big one was oval.One looked transparent and three looked like lights on top of lights possibly Triangles.This is the honest truth and you have to see it.This is one of the best ones yet and we have it on two camcorders incredible!!!!!!

You now (magically) have enough posts to use the u2u system.

Hi All

I spoke with JKL this afternoon and it is all amazing. We're working out the details of how their tapes will be handled. There's a little bit of a problem with downloading into their computer due to a USB problem. We're working all this out. They came to ATS due to the local media slicing and dicing their films and their interview so the whole video (the best part) was not even shown and the snippets of discussion were made to sound ridiculous.

And wow, I did not realize just how close they are to our house and garden where many unusual happenings have occurred, some on the same nights. The events were so way out there I did not even post them (well, I did mention one). In one case I have photographs after the fact that shows the effects of these ufos.

Due to the poor weather tonight we'll choose another evening with good viewing potential. And btw, JKL came across as a very nice, very stable person who has much to say on this subject due to all he has seen, they're good people, no doubt.

Internos, Jritzmann, get ready, some tapes will be coming your way, and they thank you for safeguarding the origins of these tapes, as do I.

Thank's guys for letting me use the U2U.STM is a very nice person.We found out from each other that on April 17th of this year,We both had an encounter with a UFO at around the same time in our area.She had an encounter with it and we saw the craft right after it flew over her house in the clouds.It descended out of the clouds right in front of us about two blocks away.It was a totally silent Triangle craft.

Update

Yesterday afternoon I went over to JKL's and watched his videos, they are very intriguing and some are amazing! After viewing them we went outside and looking up a large one was in clear sight. It was a bright light in the night sky that did not move as an airplane would or a helicopter and we realized that their batteries were not charged and my canon's was. It was on fireworks mode but did not pick up anything as we were watched it. (My nightmode is not as good as theirs as mine causes tails and blurs on everything.) We could see no details on the ufo with our eyes, just a very bright light running around the sky.

After JKL stopped cussing, (Lol, he's very creative in this), we realized that their older models have a better night vision mode than the newer cameras since their videos were shot in night vision and are very clear, definitely much better than the canon's. And also, perhaps the electromagnetics of the ufos disrupt the higher tech cameras.

Also my krzr cellphone stopped working, could not call, could not receive. I called AT & T from my home on my landline and the tech support resent a signal to it to bring it up, he said that the power had been interrupted somehow.

Thank you for sharing this first hand exciting story: i'm going to ask to Jeff Ritzmann to take a look, if he has the time: he will also be able to help you with some technical hints about cameras settings etc...
