Wyoming Mystery Orbs

I think the Krubeck video was taken somewhere around here:

The link from JK to the NUFORC reports is that the photo published at the end of the article and attributed to him

is very similar to the ones (although oddly not identical to any specific one) in the NUFORC report

it's hard now as we have 2/3 possible different filming locations for the YT video (which is not any of the NUFORC videos, and the photos

I'm looking in this neighborhood for the Krubeck images/video (NOT the NUFORC videos). I'm seeing a lot of rain gutters like this.

The NUFORC videos are very likely from Krubeck for the reasons above.

What reasons? The landscape doesn't match.

This isn't right.

 

[jarlrmai]

I thought it said Lane 40. There's a Lane 40 a few miles east of Cody but the signs don't match.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/MiYmdzsc7KCAdnSA6

this is a Lane Drive sign.

View attachment 93397

This Lane 40 is odd

There is the Lane 40 in Basin like you say and that is close enough for it to be maybe the actual place

The times and dates in the NUFORC videos match exactly for the direction of view for Starlink

In vid1 from the 194754 report a plane flies across left to right, if I place the camera on Lane 40 in Basin this makes the flight path of a small aircraft match for it, if we could work out what stars that video shows we could match the FOV to them and then set the time based on the plane.

 

[Z.W. Wolf]

This is tough. A still with satellite flares galore. Only moderate confidence this time. But once again, this seems to be the constellation Aquila.

 

[Z.W. Wolf]

And possibly this one too: https://nuforc.org/sighting/?id=194812 The video attachement there shows the red-flashing beacon on the antenna.

Okay I'm convinced that there is a beacon in that NUFORC video.

But the same one as in the Krubeck videos? There's only one beacon not two stacked verically. The bottom one could be out of frame...

 

[Gary C]

FWIW the light pollution in Cody, WY is categorized as Bortle 4 (https://www.lightpollutionmap.info/)
This suggests a naked eye limiting magnitude (NELM) between 6 and 6.5 (https://www.handprint.com/ASTRO/bortle.html)
So it's entirely possible satellite flares fainter that magnitude 3 would be visible.

This looks very interesting. Ray Road. Am I sure this is the right spot? No, but it sure looks a lot like it.

The sagging sign with the bent pole is on the other corner. Note the direction the sign is sagging.

The camera was zoomed in and the camera guy was standing on a spot I can't achieve in Google Street View. That accounts for the angle and the illusion that the street sign is next to the chain link fence. Parallax and perspective distortion.

Note that both Cedar Mountain and Ratlesnake Mounain are visible.

In this above image we're looking west along Cowgill Road which dead ends. The far street is Blackburn Street.

These are the bright lights in that area, and the trees next to the house dimly illuminated by the headlights of a passing vehicle.

And a car passing on Blackburn.

Corner of Ray Road and Cowgill Road with Blackburn Street to the west.

Video is attached. The interesting bits start at about 0:41

 

[jarlrmai]

It's worth pointing out, because I am not sure you read that bit that the original location used to match the still image from the news article, the one with the beacon

I.e. this one, came from using US public records services and the reporters distinctive name to get an address, locating a beacon and then refining the viewpoint.

The later NUFORC videos found by Flarkey were matched to these sightings in the news article by

The same named location (Cody, Wyoming)
The voice being the same in the videos in both the NUFORC sightings and the YT video
The fact that they contain still images clearly taken at the same time and place as the second one attributed to JK in the new article

Which means it is almost certain that he is behind both NUFORC reports.

What makes the NUFORC videos odd is that even though:

Cody is given as a location by the reporter and the orbs are said to rise from Rattlesnake mountain (visible from Cody and adjacent to the news articles reported Cedar mountain, no idea why the mountain used changed between NUFORC and the new article, perhaps they moved house and it change the perspective.)

A sign with LANE 40 (most likely although it is blurred and could be LANE 46/8/9) written on it appears at one point in the video, there is a LANE 40 "nearby" but it is in Basin, 40 miles to the East and there is no streetview that allows transit down that road (I even checked open-source street view type providers) to check for that sign, given the signing code in the area most of the lane xx roads are labelled with state signs

It's possible they were taken from there and Cody is the nearest place on the list of NUFORC submissions form or he just put it because he lived there, but Rattlesnake mountain is not visible from there either..

The evidence gathering is a bit haphazard but it seems the evidence shows Starlink flares in the constellation of Aquila and even though he started seeing them again recently the video in the YT page is not from this year as there are not flares in that region yet.

If we knew an accurate location for the NUFORC video that features a plane, it's possible it could be matched to Starlink flares exactly.

 

[flarkey]

Another thing to note is the difference in the appearance of the video footage and the still photos. The original videos look like they were recorded using a mobile phone camera, but the still photos appear to have image enhancement effects which suggests they were recorded with a Sionyx night camera or equivalent - the purple hue of the lights is the key feature.

[jarlrmai]

Yeah I was wondering about recording device used, potentially he bought a night vision device which then allows non human eye visible sats to be seen. It would explain the aspect ratio as well.

It looks like long exposure mobile phones though for the other still photos on the NUFORC sightings.

 

[jarlrmai]

a side note on NUFORC reporting locations

When you submit the form looks like this, if you type Cody in you get the Google pin for the location which is always some point in the middle of the town

This then shows as the point for the sighting on the map, see the 14 sightings listed as Cody, these are the ones where the reporter just typed Cody

Basin WY, the town nearest Lane 40 does appear in the list of towns when you search and presents a pin in the middle of Basin WY

 

[jarlrmai]

Interestingly the other green sighting at a specific point on the map and is one of the Orb sightings by JK, the one by the LANE 40 sign, but I cannot see the sign at that point in streetview yet
