In all honesty it is very difficult to be judge in all UFO video cases. You might be right. I am just listing my own objections. I am not saying that neither that it is, nor that it isn't UfO. I am just saying that on a balance of probabilities, to me, it looks credible. It would be absolutely great if you can pull out that old video.

Change of texture in the video, as you described it, even that others and myself can't see, is not consequence of CGI, but of video compression. This video has lots of blue background. From file compression point of view, when nothing is moving in the picture with a big monotonous background it's very easy to compress file. But, if an object suddenly moves over that same uniform background, its like a shock to the compression algo. From having very little to do, for say 15sec, in just one millisecond now it's busy to the maximum. Obviously, it's going to 'glitch'.

CGI renders each frame perfectly and completely independently from the previous frame, so there would be no texture change on the large monotonous background. One of the first attributes that give CGI away, is exactly this perfection. Actually, more imperfections video has, more credible it is, at least to my way of looking at this.

In contrast, if video was shot with an old handheld camera, which had hardware compression to save space on SD cards, as most of them do, there would be texture change on large monotonous background, like sky, even on the original video as processor suddenly goes from idle to completely overloaded and all memory buffers get choked up.
we have some google wizards here, right?
anyone could try finding this picture for me?

Unknown Object Spotted At High Speed Near Mars.


hmm this is a tricky one, its looks like something in the high atmosphere or orbit, its either some sort of sattelite or a real UFO, whatever it is, its either going in a straight line or orbiting earth

it reminds me of some sort of debris picked by the wind flying in the sky, either part of a plant or plastic

the illumination not only of the camera but what was around it
the sparkling effect is a JPEG artifact
I'm in total agreement with this evaluation HL [makes a nice change eh. :p ].. for me too it is obviously a clip of no more than a flying bug that has been briefly illuminated in the darkness, and that the meteor-like-tale is most likely caused by the effect known as "JPEG ... or compression-artifact" ...
it reminds me of another more famous silly "bug-artefact" that was seriously being mooted as a genuine UFO anomaly in the old John Wayne film [Rio Bravo] a couple of years ago....
...well...as I say, that was just silly from the get-go but people took up the mantle and ran with it for a while [with one "reliable source" claiming that the "UFO" was actually a remotely controlled toy that had been made by some Hollywood FX men for a bit of a wheeze! .... yeah right! :Whistle: ]

My point is that a bug fleetingly illuminated and caught on film at night looks nothing like a bug caught on film in broad day light. .... But when common sense tells you it's a bug.... then it's more than likely a bug.
...As for illuminated bugs seemingly leaving 'comet-trails' when moving at a pretty fair lick at night time, here's a video that shows this effect at a much slower pace in 'The Luxor Light' ...

This one looked interesting Nivek ... good find . :Thumbsup: ... But after a quick search I can only find the story being duplicated on other channels from the same source "Planet X News" .. and not being reported anywhere else, and as all that I can find out about the site is that it is just a "Nibiru Planet X " promoting channel that is now claiming that NASA knows that Nibiru is going to explode on August 8th and destroy Earth, and that they use the method of "channeling 12th century entities to get their information" ... etc ...I have to take the video with a pinch of salt matey.

They can't be flares they move too slow
Hi Niku, ... I disagree about them not being flares , in fact that is just what do look like to me, ... why do you say that they move too slow? .... according to the catalogue Flares can last for between 2 and 60 minutes ... this one costs $35 and lasts 22 mins approx....

This one fascinates me:



There's a Hard Copy segment from 1995 about it here:

UFO Filmed by US Air Force at Nellis


Hi Thomas, i'm glad you brought this one up matey. It's been a case that has fascinated me for a long time too, When I first came across the video a few years ago, due to the 'high strangeness' and general weirdness of the object and bearing in mind the claimed location of the film, I initially was of the opinion that it was just one of those crank offerings that are so prevalent on the web... and then much later after further research into the possibilities that there could be something to it after all?.... I posted a thread on several sites....


Revisiting The 1994 Nellis Air Force Base UFO Video.




Hi guys!

I was wondering what you guys thought about 'The Nellis UFO Tape' of 1994, being called "The Best UFO Video Of All Time" by the folk over at one of my favourite online magazines [The Object Report]...?



..It goes on to feature 'a study of the video footage' by respected photographic investigator Martin Powell ....

http://www.aenigmatis.com/nellis-ufo-video/part-one/nellis-1.htm

which I found , proved only that the location was probably genuine...and then I found this better one from David Rudiak ...

http://roswellproof.homestead.com/Nellis_discussion2.html

..."
Just after making the turn, the UFO went into a high acceleration mode and in a space of only 7 seconds went from around 50 mph to nearly 700 mph, followed immediately by a rapid deceleration mode in which speed dropped to under 300 mph in only 6 seconds, all while in nearly level flight. No conventional aircraft is capable of decelerating like this in level flight. ".
..

I have to admit that i'd never previously given this video much consideration , and didn't even know that the fuddled-narrative on the video by the two Communications & Control operators had been transcribed, [let alone by three different professionals!]...Which I find is a step toward authenticating that the object in the film was indeed something anomalous. And not just some mocked-up video of a 'bunch of balloons' or something in the desert with some unrelated commentary added on later!

Here are the the three transcripts from Susan Michaels , Martin Powell and David Rudiak from his own site...

http://roswellproof.homestead.com/Nellis_S30_transcripts.html

Of course none of this means that this video is 'definitely not faked'!..or that it is conclusive evidence of an extraterrestrial craft or probe!...But if it turns out to validate the film as a truly-anomalous object, genuinely filmed by an unimpeachable source [ie..US national security forces] ,..then the film that I had seen and summarily-dismissed as youtube-crap several times in the past, is far more interesting than I had thought!

And I would like to add that all of the speculation around the various sites about the film being of 'weather balloons', or of 'a man made craft/drone' is imo grasping at extremely unstable straws!...Balloons and human-built machines can not, and do not, move in the same way, or at the kinds of speeds that are being attributed to the object in the film.,...and as for a remotely controlled device [a toy] which is another popular suggestion for the identity of the object,...how and why would that be in the middle of America's most stringently policed no-go area?...oh!.and a 30-40 ft wide rc..?

Also,...I almost forgot to mention that here is another video-analysis made on the 'Sightings' show that appears to show that Nellis AFB wasn't the first location that this [possible] anomaly was filmed in...



in summary, I have to confess to being nonplussed about this particular case!!...and whatever the 'object' is, or supposed to be in the film....it is definitely a weird one!....What do you guys think about it...?

Cheers.

To be honest, i'm still not too sure about the authenticity of this video. But .... Just maybe?

And that one was actually leaked. Security guy who made the video secretly spirited it away to show media.
Yeah I think this video is legit. It would be better to have more on the provenance of the footage; the testimony from the operators who took that footage, their names, and all the rest of it. But since this appears to have been a leak and the leaker didn't want to be identified (I assume that this would be considered a security breach with serious legal penalties), there's not much we can do in the way of follow-up.

Nothing about this video appears to be fake; the optical quality is very unique and the embedded ranging data and radar return signal strike me as exactly the kind of recording system that you'd expect to see on a military-grade cinetheodolite system.

Around the time that Hard Copy aired that segment (I missed it back then, and only became aware of it earlier this year), I was working at the R&D division of one of the most sophisticated motion capture and digital animation companies in the world, Acclaim Entertainment in New York, and this isn't something that we could've done - the textures and the optics are way too analogue and nuanced, and the reflectivity of the object in this video is vastly beyond the ray-tracing algorithms that we were using back then. In fact I can't find any of the signatures of digital manipulation on this footage that I'd expect to find with a faked video.

When I first did some digging about this earlier this year I found some additional information, but I don't keep records of ufo research because I'm not a ufologist - I'm only focused on the physics behind these anomalous devices. But I'll have to start a folder for this kind of stuff, because it can be very difficult to re-locate interesting data on this subject. But what I recall is that the signal data near the bottom of the video is especially interesting because it gives the radar return strength - and at some point it suddenly goes flat, as if the device suddenly became radar invisible. It's also interesting that the analyst Sightings consulted with noted that whenever they study anomalous footage like this, the craft always appears to be blurry, regardless of the resolution of the video being studied - that's independent confirmation of the "low observability" characteristic that the AATIP identified as an earmark of these exotic devices.

Yes as often is the case, vital information is left just tantalisingly out of reach. But one day in the future...perhaps?

Agreed, although it does have that whole 'weird vibe' about it, it still has great authenticity to it... perhaps because of it's perceived-unconventionality ?

Nor can anyone seemingly, including the likes of Rudiak or Powell [two reliable giants in the field to my mind].

LOL..You're not alone in that Thomas, having a mind like a sieve and the information-collation skills of a four year old... I can honestly state that "I have forgotten much more than i'll ever know!"

Yeah that's all true and perhaps could be stated as being typical features in many authentic UFO cases, I'll not clog the thread with examples of these things..., but such an anomalous trait of many encounters as the RADAR paints switching on and off can be found in say...? The 1986 JAL 1628 incident for instance. And coincidentally ... I recently posted a similar UFO encounter by the crew of the USS Nimitz in 2004 as a similar example to the great case of the 1977 Acushnet case on Karl's thread, in which the UFO in both cases displayed the 'blurry to the eye' characteristic.


Yes it sure is a film with great potential, and firstly , I believe that the tape is actually kosha , and I also believe that the object on the film was not 'man made'... or produced by human technology. ... But it was clearly there! and therefore came from somewhere, but where? As you have probably gathered I am very much unapologetically a proponent of the ETH and believe that there is more than enough circumstantial evidence alone for any 'open-minded-individual' to come to the same conclusion as I did ... that intelligent beings from 'somewhere else' [wherever that be?] are and have been present here on Earth for goodness knows how long. [their purpose is necessarily undetermined, but I personally believe to be observational and basically benign.] ... Now, the 'Nellis UFO' , is that Extraterrestrial? ... probe, or vehicle? ... I can't say for sure but as I do not believe that it was created terrestrially and do not really hold with the 'bogeyman theory' of Vallee, Keel etc that has been gathering pace recently, ... then I must tentatively lean toward the ETH in this case. [Weird and unconventional-looking as it may be!]

Cheers Buddy.

This is the best video we have from a witness so far: Case 15-001. The quality is not very good, but the chain of custody is pretty solid, and you can clearly see the objects flying around. I think we've ruled out the more obvious candidates. Serious investigators who want more info can contact me.

What a load of tosh!.... poorest attempt that i've seen yet at racking up dollar-earning hits from this lot of charlatans .... the video was shared on YouTube channel thirdphaseofmoon,, So of course it's going to be baloney ... Their standards have always been pretty low... but with this one, I think that they've reached the bottom. :Thumbsdown:

Cheers Toroid.

Oh, I worked a lots with 3d graphics back in 90's as well, like with 3D Studio, Maya and Photoshop. It's actually it is quite easy to spot the fake. Except, when a true pro takes the job. But than a pro wouldn't have time to waste on UFO hoaxes, because he would have jobs lined up and UFO fakes don't pay. They are just for fun.

Yeah, blurriness is a good sign of authenticity. I bought a telephoto lens with a specific aim to get ready for UFO image if one turns up ;-). I was practicing on passing airliners and it is very difficult to pull off a good shot, even after you practiced for a while.

For starters, one can't see a small objects in an electronic viewfinder. When you point a telephoto lens in a general direction of the object in the sky, you just get lots of blue. That's a problem for cameras, because they need some contrast to focus, so camera immediately goes out of focus. Second problem is camera shake. As you search for the object, blue sky doesn't give you any reference and you just keep panning all over the place. If you by chance frame the object, it's just in a fleeting moment.

Takes a lot of practice to make a good sharp photo of even simplest airliner in the big blue sky.

But, here is a tip for anyone who likes to prepare for that UFO image of a lifetime. Ray Stamford was lucky to have a telephoto lens on him, with polarizing filter and he took the shot bellow. That image shows these unique concentric rings believed to be made by light being polarized as it is passing through magnetic field on the edge of the craft, so called and well known in physics, the Farady's effect. So one needs to put linear polarizing filter onto the lens and take two shots at 90deg angle from each other, because polarization is most prominent at 90deg. Like one landscape and one portrait shot. Those two shots would show a big difference in luminosity and that would be proof that it is UFO, not a balloon or a plane. And if possible always try to include an object on the ground for reference and scale. One more shot like the one bellow, and UFO skeptics would have nowhere to hide.

There was one more UFO case where Faraday polarization rings appeared around UFO. Here it is direct from my scrapbook:

Dark Rings Surounding UFO Seen through Polarising Glasses, 1953


Mr. Wells Alen Webb's second UFO sighting was on May 5, 1953. Time: 9:45 - 10:00 a.m.

"It was a clear sunny morning; the author was standing in a field near the Vacuum Cooling Company plant, not far from Spain Flying Field, and about a mile north of the Yuma Air Force Fighter Base. His attention was drawn by the buzzing of jet fighters taking off in quick succession, passing directly overhead traveling northward. As he scanned the northern sky, the author's attention became fixed upon what at first appeared to be a small white cloud, the only one in the sky at the time. The author was wearing Polaroid glasses having a greenish tint, and as was his custom when studying clouds he took the glasses off and put them on at intervals to compare the effect with and without Polaroid. The object was approximately oblong with the long axis in a horizontal plane. It floated at an elevation of about forty-five degrees. During the course of about five minutes the object traveled approximately 30 degrees toward the east. Then it appeared abruptly to turn and travel northward; at the same time its oblong shape changed to circular section. As a circular object it rapidly became smaller as if receding. While receding, the object did not noticeably lose any of its brightness. In about thirty seconds of this, its diameter became too small for the author to hold in his vision."

My comment / During the first period the writer had not noticed a change in the oblong nor in the field of view about it as a result of putting on and taking off his Polaroid glasses. But during the second period several uniformly spaced concentric circles appeared around the now circular object. The circles were distinct dark bands which enveloped the silvery disc. The largest of these circles was, perhaps, six times the diameter of the central disc. When the writer removed his polarizing glasses the silvery disc remained but the concentric rings vanished. When the glasses were put on again, the rings reappeared. The writer repeated this several times, each time with the same result. The rings with glasses on, faded to invisibility before the disc became too small to see."

Extract from: section VInew

In short, if you are after taking UFO pic, put on polarizer filter and try to capture Faraday rings polarization. That would be the ultimate proof it was UFO not a plane.
