Since the system is not locked onto an aerial target, it shows the distance to the ground behind the middle of the screen.
We can convert these numbers to altitude using Pythagoras.
SLR is the hypotenuse, the slant range
GDR is the base of the...
Hi!
I'm just an average everyday normal guy who trusts science. In my free time I enjoy devouring conspiracy theory nonsense purely for the entertainment and armchair psychoanalysis value. And if some kind soul out there has taken the time to...
Welcome Jay Y. For those unfamiliar with the subject Wikipedia has a reasonable article, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Needle_spiking
This isn't a thread for continuing discussion, but if there were a reliable (and apparently safe) way of quickly...
That's exactly right: I took the path of least resistance :p
Time is literally money on AWS. Every hour spent on development and testing costs. Although the logic of pull/push scripts is simple, the implementation is hundreds of lines of...
I would like to see the source for the "officially documented and cataloged within Intelligence Community investigations as "orbs"" statement. The term orbs was never used back in the day when I was in govt, and a quick search of the AARO website...
Can't you just use environment variables and keep your bash scripts free of AWS creds?
[edit: actually, in hindsight, you probably know this already, but like m,e you've just taken the path of least resistance in an already complex process, just...
I don't think so, which is a shame, as that data presumably exists, and is used to display the telemetry on SpaceX launch broadcasts. We could scrape that, but there's no lat/lon
There are also Magnus effect spinning kites, often marketed as UFO Kites, now primarily sold to duck hunters as the beat of the rotating kite looks enough like duck wings flapping that it attracts ducks. Kiters like them to, as a novelty, bit...
Beyong the technical analysis, I'd like to state the obvious.
The video shows 3 objects that are warmer than the sea or cloud surface behind them.
The objects are each only a very small number of pixels with no resolved shape, so it's...
the government isn't interested in extraterrestrials. They are interested in chinese spy gadgets and technology our enemies might be cooking up. so they are going to continue to take a look at dots and blobs and verbal narratives only.
and in...

Is it possible to track/plot rocket trajectories some time after launch? SpaceX sometimes, but not always, includes graphics showing part of the rocket's first track after launch.
These launches usually generate quite a few sighting...
