UFOs in 4K

[Mark L. Pederson]

Ever notice how all the video "evidence" of UFOs is always super low res, highly compressed camcorder footage.

Soon, there will be thousands of RED ONE 4K cameras around the world. It's only a mattter of time before someone catches one of those pesky saucers in 4K redcode -

PS - just trying to add some humor here -

i shoot 4k night star timelapses already on my DLSR, and i'm just waiting for the day when one of those "planes" streaking my shots does a 90-degree turn or something!... :)

if evidence is going to get nailed down, night and evening timelapses will do it!

[Jeff Kilgroe]

This is why I pre-ordered the 300mm lens. ;)

Gotta hide the wires, somehow :) With 4K they're gonna have to learn "wire removal."

Long ago I started UFO thread at DVX user with same idea - chance to get better quality of "evidence" whith HVX spreading around the world
... nobody was interested in this type of humor during that time :clown2:

Hahaha, Casey.

it wasn't your humor that didn't work ... it was the HVX sensor ... :devil:

LOL!! That's great!! Now, some mad scientist on this forum needs to build remote control RED SAUCERS to go with those SPIDERS ....

[readyandaction]

Casey,

what happen to your pictures?

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Casey,

what happen to your pictures?

What happened to Casey's post? It's all a conspiracy, I tell you!

[Petr Dvorak]

there was some post from Casey?

[Mark L. Pederson]

I assume the men in black removed the post ...

[Jochen Schmidt-Hambrock]

Oh yes.
Crashing on a strange planet is embarassing enough without all that amateur footage around. How many times have I almost reached out to steady a guy shaking his camera so much that I was sure I was looking like a gdh?sj%ky beast barfing his dessert.

Remember that iconic footage of bigfoot shot by that hunter in the '70's? I remember setting in a rural second run theatre near where I grew up watching "In search of Bigfoot", and eating this stuff up with a spoon.

Take out the camera shake and it's painfully obvious it's a man in a monkey suit...

Was there someone here named Casey?

[Dan Blanchett]

Casey's been erased. There is no Casey.


TRUST NO ONE.

Wow, that's a cool image stabilization technique with that GIF.

BTW, one thing that occurred to me the other day about UFOs: Most people say they see flashing lights or whatever when they spot UFOs, but why on earth would UFOs have lights on them? What are they trying to light up? The ground? They can figure out how to travel through interstellar space, but have not figured out night vision yet?

And if they are trying to remain stealthy and just observe us lowly humans, why would they plaster their ship with flashing lights?

[chuck colburn]

That's because they think sailing ships are an advance aquatic lifeform, and are trying to communicate by using red lights on the port side and green ones on the starboard.

That just proves that Big Foot is more closely related to man than we thought. :-)

Jim, you just destroyed some precious childhood memories. Now all I have is the episode of The Six Million Dollar Man when he battles and then saves Big Foot. Steve Austin Environmental Warrior.http://www.internationalhero.co.uk/b/bigfoot.htm

Red is being built to create it's own legend, not to validate existing myths and legends.

[Jeremy Hughes]

It says in the members list that Casey never made a post.

lmao.. i would stop asking questions now, unless you want to wake up in a wheat field with your pants around your ankles and no memory of the preceding 48 hours...

[chuck colburn]

Who's Casey?
And what is Imao?

On a more serious note! (love that stabilized Bigfoot by the way)

If you are filming something that you "cannot identify" in the sky there are simple rules to follow if one is to extract some useful info from the image.

These rules were developed by military observers either filming a test flight or monitoring aerial activity of suspected enemy aicraft.

1. Know exactly what the focal length you are using for each shot/framing and general camera setup.
2. Try to give context/scale to an image ie include some foreground.
3. Try and get 2 types of shot:

i. A tracking shot to give a good view of the object/aircraft and its "activity".

ii. A stationary shot that allows the object to pass entirely through the frame. This, when combined with knowing the focal length of the lens etc, allows one to calculate the "object's" speed/performance.

4. If possible know the direction your camera is pointing in both in azimuth and altitude

5. Don't bother faking it as it's far too embarassing getting caught out by experts who will spot your mistakes. (that you will make) See bigfoot footage!

These rules apply for all kinds of natural phenomena filming and I frequently use them for Thunderstorm filming, astronomical filming (using ultra low light cameras) and filming aircraft.

Oops ... based on any personal experience? :blink: :whistling:

Hey there... It's nice to... be back. I, uh, well... can't really say anything about the, uh... what happened... and stuff.

I think the best way to put it is by movie quote, "Murder By Death" - Neil Simon, 1976":

[Inspector Perrier has just returned to the room, looking disheveled in the butler's clothes.]

Milo Perrier: Don't ask!
Dick Charleston: What are you doing in the butler's uniform?
Milo Perrier: I said don't ask me! I don't know. It all happened so quickly!

:help: :alien: :)

[Tom Lowe]

Hahaha.

Are there any strange marks on your body? Memory gaps? ;)
