They also show a screen capture of the original example, where you can see actual pixels - or some kind of pixellated region. Here's low and high gamma versions to see detail in the dark and light area.

Here's the setup on the ground. They have a "white" beam shining on a white board to check for variations in color.

From the actual show, where they show three different examples, all the green laser. Quite different apparent altitudes. Travis Taylor describes them as "Long Exposure" photos

Adding a similar set of effects to the Chilean case, it's interesting how similar the plane is in the segment where it's visible in EO (TV) mode. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFKUl9x6e2I It's rendering a quite detailed model of an A340, but because of the simulated limitation...

Some tweaks: Initial rendering is now anti-aliased with 4x sampling. This gives a more accurate initial image, but at the same 484x484 resolution (previously it had random pixels). Added a fake compression artifact, very slight effect Added a camera shake - not copying the video shake, but...

Rendering a 3D plane is okay, but it's not what's on the video. So I spent a little time writing a variety of custom shaders to try to duplicate what's going on under the hood with the video pipeline - from initial focus, sensor noise, gamma points, NTSC encoding, downsampling and re-encoding...

This Instagram video is dated May 26 and seems consistent with the screenshots. Source: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7ch8dqPvT2/

It's all over TikTok, but tracking down the original is fiddly. Reverse image search shows two YouTube vides, the first one looking clean. Both have been removed. The Farsi text مشاهده سفینه فضایی آسمان تهران عجیب و باور نکردنی -- ... [/ev] translates to "Seeing a spaceship in the sky of...

I've extracted this from the TV show video. Yeah, a CGI fake would be my first guess. I agree

I suspect that laserpointersafety.com is incorrect about at which altitude beams stop becoming visible when near end-on. Moisture and particulates are in the air all the way up above where cirrus clouds form (40,000 feet). The perpective compression means the bits at the "end" of the beam are...

This is correct, and the likely the only reason lasers seem to "end" twhen you are close to them. Also something SWR is confused about (thinking the lasers come together to form a pyramid). You can see this in the SWR CSS sitch, where I use cyan vertical lines for the lasers. They default to...

How would I translate that to angular speed parallel to the horizon?

"Precision" is perhaps a bit much, maybe "apparently precise", as really what it is is lucky, or really just "apparently lucky." It's quite a popular genre. So certainly could be used as an educational tool - like, there's tens of thousands of flights every day, eventually one of them is going...

There's no rights issues any more than someone copying a post they made here and posting it elsewhere. A planned feature is to export all the files need to your local drive. https://github.com/MickWest/sitrec/issues/26 For sharing across installs, it would be useful to be able to export the...

I cannot. Giving any information about who they are or are not would be like 20 questions, allowing people to narrow in on who it might be (and probably get it wrong).

It's all open source. It's on GitHub, meaning anyone can download it. I don't own it. They don't own it. "Sitch" is short for "situation", as in "Situation Recreation" (Sitrec)

I keep getting questions about if I get paid. I didn't want to have to craft convoluted answers, so I thought it best to explain what the situation is. I'm in favor of full transparency, but the org wants to be anonymous. I asked them what I could say.
