    Skinwalker Ranch - Laser Beam Stops and Starts in Mid Air

    This is a 25 second video showing the reaction of the cast, followed by a loop with close-up of a stabilized portion of the video showing clouds moving.

    Skinwalker Ranch - Laser Beam Stops and Starts in Mid Air

    In the previous episode, when they shine the laser at the white board you can clearly see it creates the exact same cross shape. Yet they act puzzled when it shows up on the clouds. This episode is ridiculous.

    Things that are high and are moving towards you appear to move vertically.

    Can you actually demonstrate why it's not a balloon?

    Skinwalker Ranch - Laser Beam Stops and Starts in Mid Air

    I'm away right now, but just watched the laser segment. It's hitting clouds. At 22:22 you see the clouds drift off. The cross shape is from the rectangular arrangement of mini-lasers. You see it elsewhere. Pretty ridiculous. I'll look more when I get back.

    Did they say where they got "2000 feet" from?

    I exchanged a few DMs with Joe a couple of months ago. I told him I'd be happy to go back on to give the skeptical take on UFOs. So it's up to hom.

    Skinwalker Ranch - Laser Beam Stops and Starts in Mid Air

    Seems unlikely. Maybe a power glitch, but it would seem like that would affect the entire box. I'm leaning towards these being edited images. Perhaps "enhancing" something less dramatic. Here's a screenshot of the 4K stream: We can see some striping from the individual mini-beams, likely...

    Skinwalker Ranch - Laser Beam Stops and Starts in Mid Air

    I think this is the configuration of the lasers. Not the positions of the light stand and the white board to orient with the above image, which seems to be looking from the top right so there's two overlapping blues in the middle.

    And here it's specficially referred to as an "on-screen effect" https://www.dynamicsfx.com/laser-beam-floating-banding With several examples: Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0fm0Mr2ebw

    Skinwalker Ranch - Laser Beam Stops and Starts in Mid Air

    Yeah, there's quite a bit of discussion on banding on Reddit, eg.. brad1775 May 6 2018 Those Lasers were designed by the companies Future Weapons, and Nice Lasers, they are both champions of lasers (check out Gareth emery’s laserface video on youtube for more of their work!). The apearance of...

    Or possibly where the beams diverge slightly, so when seen from near the hotel they have different vanishing points, giving the illusion of the neck of a guitar.

    Skinwalker Ranch - Laser Beam Stops and Starts in Mid Air

    It's odd that we never see the bright green and blue lasers in video. Here's a video still, where we see a ful range of colors, including white and reddish light. The lasers just look blue, and pretty much the same intensity Here a video still we get a bit more of a hint of two colors. Three...

    Skinwalker Ranch: Laser Changing Color

    In this clip, Travis Taylor describes an experiment done to determine if the color of a laser cannon (a multi-beam laser) shone on a white target is chaning color. He starts justifying this by referencing a previous "blobl" anomaly in that location, which I'm pretty sure is just an internal...

    Skinwalker Ranch - Laser Beam Stops and Starts in Mid Air

    Here the white box with narrow black base is the lasers. The green is power supply, the large black box is liquid cooling. The "Action" box is just a stand. This laser seems like a simple on/off with three knobs (Red, Green, Blue) to control the color. I'm guessing the knobs control a...

    Skinwalker Ranch - Laser Beam Stops and Starts in Mid Air

    Somewhat amusingly the producers seem to have faked this shot: It shows up when Travis says "the beam changed color", but it appears to just be this shot (but at a different time, as the dust does not match) with a hue adjustment. We can tell it's a hue adjustment because the green laser is...

    Skinwalker Ranch - Laser Beam Stops and Starts in Mid Air

    I think it's significant that what we see as a single beam is not. It's actually lots of mini-beams. How does this work? Are there several lasers of each color that are beam-split between the outputs. Or one laser per mini-beam? Do they share a power supply, or are there multiple power...

    Sitrec Video Effects (FLIR1)

    I don't think it would make any difference to speed as this is all done in shaders which operate on the R,G,B,A channels simultaneously. You can see them all here: https://github.com/MickWest/sitrec/tree/main/src/shaders e.g. the greyscale conversion: fragmentShader: /* glsl */`...

    Skinwalker Ranch - Laser Beam Stops and Starts in Mid Air

    I think it's a camera mount In the last image you see "white" is red, green, and blue lasers mixed together, which suggests all the lasers are selectable color. [Edit]. Actually looks more like some lights.

    If there was something occluding the beam, it would have to be flying. It's several hundred feet up
