Why would NASA know anything about that? Quoting: The Deplorable Astromut He's never encountered bugs in his AF career obviously I was hoping for more but that sucked They photoshopped that pic, its not even from the vid lol |

Senior Forum Moderator 05/25/2017 05:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Deceptive lying article too. The still image in the article is what I was expecting to see in the video based on the way the article was laid out. At least that appears to be a real flying artificial object, even if it doesn't look "alien." And how the fuck did they get "mach 17" from that video? North Carolina skip line spacing is normally about 30 feet between skip lines. [link to connect.ncdot.gov (secure)] I layered two of the frames on top of each other so we can see the "UFO" position in two consecutive frames. :ufobug: Ok, if we VERY generously assume that the object in question is as far from the camera as the skip lines in the road behind it (obviously impossible since the road is farther from the center of the camera's FOV and farther from the camera than the UFO), we find that the 30 foot distance corresponds to about 45 pixels (so .67 feet per pixel), and given a motion of the object of about 355 pixels (237 feet) of the object between frames 1/30th of a second apart (7100 feet per second), that would mean it would be traveling at about 4841 mph or mach 6 at best. And that's being way too generous. There is no way the object is that far away, but even if it were farther away from the camera than the ground directly below it, it would not even be traveling half as fast as this expert testimony claims it to be going. In truth it's probably just a small bug no more than a few feet from the camera and traveling well below the speed of sound lol. |

Senior Forum Moderator 05/25/2017 05:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Lot of people with drones. Let's see you produce videos with bugs in them and we'll compare Quoting: Anonymous Coward 36945039 I don't own a drone and I'm not going to drop several hundred bucks on one when simple math disproves the claims in the article. It's just a bug. Making ridiculously false assumptions about its size and distance leads to ridiculous conclusions about its velocity. Garbage in, garbage out. Get over it. |

Senior Forum Moderator 05/25/2017 06:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Lazy? No. Unlike you, I actually analyzed the footage in that video and proved that it cannot be traveling nearly as fast as stated by this "USAF veteran." Refusing to drop several hundred dollars on hardware just to satisfy the goalpost of some anonymous poster online isn't "laziness," it's basic sanity. There are plenty of videos on Youtube and don't see any bugs to compare. Quoting: ACBecause you think any footage of a fast moving bug is actually a UFO. Your talking out of your rear unless you physically show examples to back up your claims Quoting: ACOMG it's a mach 17 UFO! [link to j.gifs.com (secure)] |

Senior Forum Moderator 05/25/2017 06:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Your math does not mean anything at all. Numbers Lie. I work for a major Fortune 500 company and know the secret trades to manipulate and make numbers lie. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 36945039 No, the math does not lie. Feel free to show where I lied in my calculations. I gave and justified every number used. My assumption as to the scale and distance was EXTREMELY generous to the velocity and even then it was less than half of what was claimed by the "expert."
