@Andreas, sorry for the delay, weather has not been cooperative! I finally just decided to mess with it indoors.This limits how far away from the kite I can get, but maybe it is still useful. If weather ever is nice, I'll try it outdoors, I am...

Thanks! Really interesting to see. It would be great if you could try doing this outdoors as well once the weather is a bit better. I'm sure the issue with perspective will disappear when it's seen from a longer distance. If the object in the...

I know, we've been over this before. I'll just say, and with all due respect and sincerity, I think you project too much of yourself into the situation. Obviously we've never met and don't know each other, but I've read enough of your posts that...

We have one witness Terry who says she saw the landed craft in the Grange and got close enough to feel its heat. (Again I'm ignoring Victor who claims he along with many other witnesses saw two craft for two hours alongside the school - nobody...

If nothing else, this shows that the UFO could have been any number of shapes or objects captured at a particular angle. The Christmas ornament can clearly create something very similar when photographed at an unconventional angle, but that would...

When they switch out of 4x to 2x they immediately pan right about 1.2 screens wide. It would be lost in the initial motion blur, and then off screen, even in ULTN

Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slA7aV2Mags I've started a series of tutorial videos to get people more quickly up to speed with using Sitrec. The above one on the user Interface should be the starting point (even if you've used Sitrec...

This is not necessarily the case. Some objects can be more reflective than emissive. Hypothetically speaking, if this object was a mylar balloon it could be reflecting IR from its surroundings more than the heat and IR from within. Here's an...

It does go up after the lock is lost, and the camera follows it (the "northing" coordinate goes up, and we see the background going down). From 92860ish to 92930ish (can't read the last digit). So the camera has gone looking more to...

Originally, yes, absolutely correct. But hobbyists who make historic replicas generally omit that bit! :D And the general design is sometimes used for a not-historically-accurate hobbyist kite... this one is a Hargrave box kite, visually similar...

The entire video has likely been through several stages of re-recording, maybe on different systems. But the timecode does seem particularly bad. It goes from 18:21:06 to 18:22:21 (1m 15 sec) over the course of the video, about the right...

No. These are not particularly accurate numbers. I would not expect a perfect path to pop out. If the object was going screen-up before, why would it not continue after the lock was lost? I think it's very difficult to determine what is going on...

@Mick West , a few remarks about the balloon hypothesis. 1. For once we have exact coordinates for the aircraft, and the LOS. Don't you expect to find a compelling path for the balloon you hypothesize? What clear path do you see in Sitrec to say...
