Codex came up with an estimate of ~1.93 deg/s by pulling data from SIMBAD and based on the rough assumption that it traversed the exact angular distance from Phecda to Edasich. Which is just an approximation. That works out to these linear...

This is what a fisheye lens can do with straight lines. I think it likely that a plane made ONE change in direction during the course of its flight (not unusual if lining up for a landing site), but the rest can be attributed to the lens.

It's a little easier to see the path bends on adsb exchange. The straight segment between the two bends is basically centered over a location 80 miles west of the middle of Phoenix. Just south of the Atlas Solar farm. Lets say we assume it is...

In this 15 second frame the motion blur goes roughly the angular distance from Phecda to Edasich. Could work out an approximate angular velocity from that. The wide angle lens might introduce some distortion in the 2d representation but since...

That's either a large CoC or tons of glare, and both would implyEDIT: are compatible with small and close. These wide lenses have incredible depths of field (my fisheye will give me 0.4m - oo at f/5.6), so if it's CoC it's really close. Are there...

I should make myself more clear. I try to remain concise on my phone, but sometimes am just incomprehensible.

Marc Dantonio, who is an expert on UFOs (I believe he is a photography expert for MUFON or was at one point), posted this all sky camera shot on his facebook page: Source: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1445425854175238 I have not entered a...

- This Night Lights Event sky lantern festival thing is not relevant to this case. The lanterns were clearly being launched right there in the neighborhood. They were rising from street level and bunched up. Even at 1,000 yards the wedding...

However, it is easy to demonstrate that these lights do not, in fact, maintain the same formation over time as they pass across the sky. Here are images taken from different times in your clip, and it is easy to see that they do change their...

They look just like Chinese lanterns, and that can be hard to prove because they don't transmit their location like planes do.

That was your point? I see.

Right. But could also have encouraged others to make them around that time, or perhaps there were leftovers. Folks break the laws, do what they want.
