    You know this, I know this, but clearly not everyone in the world knows this: If there's a discontinuity between the ratio of the size at a distance to the nearground object, and the size at the distance to the background, and you're tracking an...

    Ann K reacted to John J.'s post in the thread The Varginha UFO with Agree Agree.
    Ah, I think I misunderstood a point you made in an earlier post (# 198). Is it right to say you don't think Carlos de Souza is telling the truth? The "Fantasies and Contradictions of the Varginha Case" article you linked to implies this (and I...

    Ahh, thank you, I believe that I understand your point better now.

    I didn't explain that bit correctly, the "everything had to be a lie" was not what I meant (that everyone gathered and combined to tell fake stories). I was trying to say is that Ubirajara Rodrigues was at first convinced there was something...

    I suppose they were, actually. It's just that we're looking at things from two different perspectives. Personally, it's enough for me if the photo could be a fake made with small models. They, on the other hand, want hard evidence proving that...

    Thanks. I want through the Watters et al. pre-print. Sigh. Good points, but this means more work, too. My pipeline keeps record of plate IDs, and all relevant info from full plate headers, which are now published in the repository. This is true...

    Very short update: project stats from yesterday. Many scripts and some docs updated, and the plate header JSON files published: https://github.com/jannefi/vasco/ - as usual, keep your own local copy up-to-date. I'm now using DuckDB...

    Using the slightly better quality version here, I converted it to real-time 30fps (29.97) The question that the promoters like Marik are holding out on is if the panning continues during the "fly-off". It's a little hard to see with all the...

    I suspect this post should be in the other thread -- https://www.metabunk.org/threads/transients-in-the-palomar-observatory-sky-survey.14362/ -- since this one is for recreating the results.

    Under the view menu you can now toggle the display of a frame counter, video time, sim time, in variosu formats. You can position them within the video view. This also works in the stand-alone video viewer...
