Where did I get that figure? From my experience with glass! 10lbs for a greenhouse panel? That wasn't glass, that was plastics, which mostly used are PEfilm and multiwall sheets. Greenhouse glass is EXTREMELY expensive, very heavy, and also, EXTREMELY brittle. The company I work for now doesn't deal with greenhouses, but my old company I worked for about 5-6 years ago did. Let me find you some info on greenhouse glass, since you don't really know what you're talking about.

50-80lbs? Where do you get this ridiciluous figure? You could accomplish this hoax with a piece of glass used in greenhouses weighing less than 10 lbs. This could easily be held with duct tape! I'm sorry but you are living in cloud cucoo land with your figures. You mentioned edges but with a thin piece of glass and duct tape attached to the outside frame of the window you wound't have edges.
No, my friend. I'm more like the guy who got caught cheating at the casino, and now help monitor cheaters. I know about glass, I work with glass, I know specs, prices, weights, shapes, frames, windows, etc etc etc etc etc etc. Greenhouse glass is BRITTLE. Single layer glass is BRITTLE. ALL glass is HEAVY. Single layer glass is the lightest, sure. Insulated glass is the second lightest, and tempered glass is more then any kind of heavy you can think about. If its single layered glass, then he needs an extremely good frame that wont catch the wind, or that glass is broken. The weight of a single layered glass about the size of a 30/50 would weigh in around 20-40, that goes for greenhouse glass as well. Insulated would weigh 50-80, and tempered would weigh 90-150
Again i state that you are like the person who invented the deck of cards, you would proclaim all magic tricks sorcery as you invented the deck and it cannot happen.
I know what kind of window he has. I already stated that back when I first posted on page 4, I think. Its a white, vinyl, casement window, that looks like a 30/50-30/60. And no, you can't just hang a greenhouse panel outside with duct tape, as its to heavy and much to brittle.
Looking at that window on the left hand side of the video, i can tell you exactly what frame the window has as i have the same one. It's standard here in the UK, the plastics frames are all the same! There may be slight differences but they are cosmetic only. I can tell you right now that if i had the money and health i could easily pin a glass sheet from my greenhouse over the frame to my window, with the window open, clean it thoroughly and you would never know it was there. It's like when you see people run into glass doors on those home movies.
Lights off of clouds? You can get solid lights, that streak away from clouds? This isn't Gotham City here. Solid images to call up Batman don't just stay on clouds as clear as they do in the comics and movies.
Shining strong lights off of clouds would also be possible but personally i doubt that one.
Its not nonsense, its fact. All glass is heavy. Sure, some are lighter then other, but the lighter you go, the more brittle it becomes, and you need a more reinforced frame that wont blow in the wind, or your glass breaks on everybody below you. Get it? Again, you must of used plastic panes that aren't as brittle or heavy. What did you use to seal your glass with your greenhouse? What kind of bead did you use on the inside? I can almost assure you it was a plastic.
I said you assume to much because you assume you cannot hang a thin sheet of glass forma window, i said assume because like you did here you assume the glass would weigh 50lbs! What world do yo ucome from! What absolute nonsense. Fifty POUNDS!?!?! Well i don't get how i put my greenhouse together and lifted all the panes myself, because i have trouble lifting 50 lbs.
No, just all of the conditions that you haven't even taken into account.
You are assuming something about this glass, maybe assuming the thickness that would be required for a hoax.
He will, and he's going to send me from the inside and outside. He's a very nice guy for the most part, but he wont let you post the images on the internet.

Jesus-tap-dancing-christ what is with this window fixation? I’m going to send the video maker a message and kindly ask him to take a picture of his window opened and then closed for us. We’ll see if he responds.
Yes, what exactly do yo mean by this? i saw some of you describe that, but I was unsure what you meant.

I don't know, I know I said it on page 4, so if you said it before that, then I'm sorry. I just knew exactly what kind of window it was off the bat.

Thank you trav for that. I think you pretty well summed it up there. There's only one thing wrong with your statement.
I was the first one that said it was a Casement window. DUH!

Do you mean that reflection normally are around 50-100hz, and solid objects are around 400hz? And what does this mean? Are you talking about how bright the light is? how did you guys come to around 380hz like you said earlier?
Gotcha. Ok, well how did you guys come up with the measurements of hz from the video?

Its due to that prismatic dissipation that i was talking about earlier. The light would spread out through the window whereas only a small percentage would reflect back.
I knew it was a casement window right off the bat too.

Thats one site I found, but it gives you a brief description of glass for greenhouses. you could probably look more up, but thats a good description.

It's just the result of the compression of the video and the stupid idea of resizing compressed videos.

Just a split second before lift off(27 seconds in), I can see something stick up from the chimney. Its very quick and it looks like a long thin line, pointing up and slightly to the right, blink and it is gone.
