Astronaut James McDivitt Filmed a UFO; Has The Picture Been Found?

[ArMaP]

Given that it's not that hard to see a shooting star from one's backyard, along with the fact that the amount of Observation pointed back at earth from LEO is quite frankly abundant... one would think it would be easy to find such footage?   

We don't see shooting stars during the day (unless it's a big one, like that on in Russia some months ago), so I don't expect to see shooting stars in orbit in "day" images.

Interesting thought though all the same though mate?

There has to be an awesome database of shooting stars from LEO somewhere on this rock

I have seen one of these across the sky's of melbourne... freaking amazing sight to see.



This is why I don't expect to see the real footage from said astro

So we still don't have the original pic? or is that white dot the one?

And why is there a 'critter' just behind & to the left of the 'glitch' in the first pic?

Yes, those darn critters, they love publicity

Behind?

Anybody notice there are sequences in here where it momentarily jumps way up and then back down in a millisecond in one frame? 

You couldn't possibly do that filming by hand,  i.e. operator error by jiggling the camera.

You could and it happens, it depends not only on the way the camera is held but also on the frame rate of the film/video.

Link to example please.

And something with official bona fides too, not some kid screwin around with his camera tryin to create a hoax, i.e. removing frames in between.


To move a camera up and down between 2 points in a millisecond -back and forth to the same spot- would require reflexes better than Bruce Lee or Data.

I doubt Astronaut McDivitt was experiencing any earthquakes or bumpy roads up there.


I'm also doubting Commander McDivitt suffered any epileptic seizures while on Nasa missions.

Even 6 fps could not humanly be filmed accurately back and forth between 2 points.

Do a launch countdown in your head and try to imagine bouncing a camera around between 2 points 6 times in between each 1 second count announcement.   


Now of course epilepsy, earthquakes or a bumpy road COULD contribute to such an effect momentarily, but I am not aware of any of those elements coming into play on a Gemini mission.

If you examine the footage frame by frame, you will note there is no pre or post jump blurring of any frames.

Even the jump frame itself is not blurred.


No indication of camera movement evidenced by frame blurring towards it's next appearance in any of the frames.

One would imagine Commander McDivitt was attempting to hold the camera still, realizing the importance of space footage, and it appears he did so.

No need to explain it to us A51, we understand 100%. In the jump frames did you pick out any background stars. They should stay locked. But I heard that some aliens might be installing speed bumps up there to slow us down. lol

Not yet D, great idea! 

However my first cursory browse shows other craft appearing (1 then 2) much like the ones you commented on in my footage, where you said "it looked like they were trying to bring in another one". 

I will post single frames showing this after I capture them.


I knew a processor would see what I was talking about. 

All those side to side jumps are pretty crazy too.



eta: It may be a few days before I get the single frames, I am currently trying to put the finishing touches on your new movie, which is quite spectacular I must say.

If you had written that I would have agreed, but you said it was not possible, so I said it is.

lol, ok how?

Space sickness?

Update -


I have found that if you let the video finish on utoob or pause it during play, you can do a mouse- over on the play bar and see the single frames, including the other craft that appear.
