I think there is a possible perceptual trap here. The apparent reduction of the right-to-left background motion around the zip-off may not necessarily reflect a real, sharp change in the camera motion. In a low-quality IR video and a poorly...

It looks a lot like these diamond shapes apparently caused by the iris motor in the camera. Similar to this: https://www.metabunk.org/threads/calvine-photo-hoax-theories.12596/post-365766

No offence, but what are you basing that judgment on? I think the issue we’re all having with this is a lack of priors .

This immediately looked like another plane to me. Do you think it's on the ground? I don't see any indication of that.

They're just throwing in every trope, cliche, urban legend, bit of folk lore, traditional imagery, pre-packaged conspiracy theory, and recycled Spielbergania they can think of to pad out this cranked out cash grab. Maybe it will be a less...

Interesting how the clouds are flowing through the frame constantly from right to left, until right when the "UFO" zips out of frame, when they slow right down. Almost as if the camera is following the UFO, then stops doing that so the UFO exits...

At another point, the UAP appears to pass beneath or behind a thin cloud veil. The partial fading does not look random or comparable to typical flare reproductions. It is gradual, localized, and follows the apparent trajectory of the UAP. Once...

Also stabilized the frame and some Blender and ffmpeg filters, Siril for stacking

The objects can be seen in the following time intervals: 02:37-03:07 and 03:11-03:18 Over the Ionian Sea, the object was exactly on the cockpit monitor at 11:15. The distance to central Greece, including the mountains, is approximately 12 hours...

https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1007716/dow-uap-pr091-21-aug-callsign-observes-uap-persian-gulf Look at the top left diffraction pattern between 1m44 and 1m52. I think you can see a lens flare behind it (it's more convincing in motion):

IR (heat) is a different part of the EM spectrum, and using the right optical materials (or mirror designs), it can be used to image and view. The IR of course differs from VIS or even UV, in that IR is radiated from objects as well as receiving...

Maybe dumb question, but do things like flares, bokeh and the things we associate with regular light cameras occur in IR cameras? I know they may use lenses and sensors like regular cameras, but they're not recording light, right? They record...

I still can't get my head around this even if I'm the only one here. To me it obviously looks like it disappears gradually behind an existing structure right after the start, "dives in" and returns to the "surface". It is not a fading effect as...
