And what is the explanation? That's a 44-minute video; can you give a summary?

Hi Mick,

Thanks for catching some poor wording. I fixed the sentence to say "A full explanation of the circumstances of this event can be found here:"

Of course I have no explanation for what these objects I have been recording actually are. I hope one day we find out.

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback.

Allsky cameras typically are set up with some automatic exposure settings. On dark sky nights the camera I showed was set up for 10 second exposures. However, there were a lot of clouds on the night I showed with the strange object (white curved line with two blue dots) in between clouds. So the automatic exposure setting kicked in and brought the exposure time down to 2.3 seconds. The frame I showed with the strange object had a total exposure of 2.3 seconds.

My allsky camera now has a nice big lens on it and I can now get 5 second exposures throughout a dark sky night, even here in light pollution infested Albany area.

The only thing that showed some potential for strange properties that I recorded that night on my night vision scope was this very fast moving object I showed. I was surprised that nothing showed up on the allsky camera - but maybe the object seen in the night vision scope was moving too fast. As I said in the video, not sure what that object could be but it doesn't have enough highly anomalous features to be called a UAP in my book.

I have lots of other night vision recordings of "interesting" things, but nothing truly compelling (yet - I can hope right?).

I forgot to provide the github repository link: https://github.com/rickavila/opensci.uap

Yes, all videos I provide have full metadata including time, location etc. The only thing I tried to pull out of the data was my exact iphone serial number. I also give the date and time of each UAP sighting in the video on the top left hand corner.

No time/date/locations that I could see.

Having watched the full video I would have a laundry list of compliments with the approach. At the end you say open to questions and criticisms (no transcript available yet) so:-

• You call the video " Open Science UAP Introduction" what science or Anomalous Phenomena did you show?
• Your timeline runs for approx. 18 months and you never mention Flightradar24 or any celestial or satellite tracking?

These should be easy to answer. Politely and respectively I dont wish the troll tru the video line by line
