Alot of our newer members may not realize the thousands of hours that have gone into the deuem process.
Deuem may be scamming us all but i doubt it.too many folks involved in the process.its basically one of our aces here at pegasus.
I would give it a 95% accuracy under the right conditions.
It even pulls out anomilies that the visual eye cant see in a picture.

The test pwm mentions will valedate this process even more.

My stepdad brought up a good point.what if flocks of birds flying were really camouflaged ufos.we wouldnt know until we test the theory.

I am not participating this "test"as to prove that my research and enhancements are correct. I also do not doubt Deuem's techniques nor any other technique. Fact is that 99,9% of the people that know Photoshop or similar programmes still believe that these programmes are showing the maximum that can be achieved in image enhancement. Reality is that other programmes (unknown applications to most of you) are way better and they offer more and better techniques.

Can I really show the energy emmitted by a UFO? Of course not. You cannot see energy in a picture or video. What you can do is use specific software and specific algorithms that make tiniest pixel distortions visible. Common software is not capable showing these so-called fields (distortions) but under certain circumstances these fields become visible and this "ringing" effect can amplified so fields or regions with distorted (re-arranged) pixels become better visible.

Honestly I possess quite some know how when it comes to forensic image and video enhancement (both professional as private) but the final results always depends on the quality of the software that has been used. Neither Deuem nor me can perform magic. "Our magic" is a combination of using the right software, having proper knowledge how to use it in the best possible manner and finally, we all have this sense that helps us finding anomalies or we sense that there is something different about a video or picture that requires further investigsation. Again I do not and never felt any need proving myself to anyone. If that is the general idea behind this "test" than consider this my last contribution.
Today's reality is more strange than fiction and what is fiction today could be tomorrow's reality.

I expect you to test more not less.challenging the status quo is what we are known for.even against each other.all insight is considered valuable.if we are being scammed by the deuem process.call us out.
I piss people off all the time by calling them out.as long as you dont cuss or stalk.you wont get banned.lol

Also sander.not to sound harsh.but earlier you said we dont know ahout gasses reacting in the vacuum of space.a51watcher has a whole collection of atmosphere gasses and other gasses in excitation and there line spectrums.it really cool if your into that thing.lots of neon type colors in the actual tubes they were tested in.
Ive tried to get him to start a thread on it and cattalogue them all for pegasus easy reference as there isnt currently a catalogue out there that i know off.
We as a group are ahead of the curve.just not well organized.

A pixel is a pixel, for Photoshop or for any other software, so a pixel with an RGB value of 0,0,0 is not the same as a pixel with a value of 0,0,1, in Photoshop or in any other software.
Some software may have easier ways of showing that difference (that's what Deuem's process does), but I'm sure it can be done in Photoshop, it only takes more time.

@Sinny

Hello Sinny,

I was intriqued by your story about the fake byrdz so I examined the video. I used histogram equalization, refocus and optical deblur and the result is a video in which, in my opinion we do not see two birds with orbs but sunlight reflection in bird's eyes and sunlight reflection in the tailfeathers and on the beaks. Below are four images: (A and B) the original snapshot from your video and (C) a still frame from my video. After processing the AVI file became 514 Mb large so I compressed it to FLV format which eventually lead to quality loss due to heavy compression. Nevertheless the video is clear and the "reflections" are clearly visible as well. One image is particularly interesting. (D) The two birds twist their heads at the same time and we instantly see the reflection in both of their right eye. 



Today's reality is more strange than fiction and what is fiction today could be tomorrow's reality.

...and on the previous page of that thread I posted the multi- discharge tube photo along with several frames from my video for color comparison of the gasses -

Yes I have seen the tubes. Interesting! The gas with highest abundance in earth's atmosphere is nitrogen. Nitrogen gives a purple colour when heated at plasma temperature.  This could explain purple colored UFO.
But . . . fireballs seen all over the world have a greenish/yellow colour.
How can we explain that?
Today's reality is more strange than fiction and what is fiction today could be tomorrow's reality.

Thank you Sander,

Although, the birds of the most interest to me are the ones that are claimed to have changed form. I'm for anyone who can prove or disprove the apparent transformations.

Ditto on what sanders wrote.

And I think most of this is because what the camera saw.We do not see like a camera, they can pick up and record things we can not see. UV cameras make things glow. do they really glow? Or is it the process of the camera/film media? How things that are not power sources yet refect light are difficult to process. The best think we can do is to compare and remove knowns.

Abduction Experiences

The Massanutten Mountain Abduction

The following account was written by Bruce Cornet, M.S., Ph.D. who was one of the witnesses during this encounter.

It took place near the Massanutten Mountain ski resort near Harrisonburg, Virginia in Rockingham County. I was not familiar with the incident and stumbled upon it by accident. Cornet is currently part of National Institute for Discovery Science, which was created by Robert Bigelow of Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies. NIDS is supposedly involved with investigation of the infamous 'Skinwalker Ranch.' I'll get into that at a later date, Anyway...here's the account as written:


November 26, 1993 – My family and I spent Thanksgiving with my wife's mother, Lynn Huff, in Massanutten, Virginia, a ski resortlocated in the Blue Ridge mountains near Harrisonburg. I discovered while there a past history of abductions in that community, one of which resulted in the death of my wife's brother Bobby in 1980 bydoctors administering a tranquilizer following his Travis Walton-type abduction (He had a fatal allergic reaction to the drug). Ironically, Lynn lives on Hopkins Lane. I was preoccupied with going to skytop overlook at the top of the ridge overlooking the ski resort and valley to the east. I wanted to go there around 8:00 pm and look for unusual lights in the sky. My wife, Pat, wanted to come along. We drove our van up the switchback road to the parking lot near the top of the ridge, and parked at the opposite end of the parking lot from the entrance, looking out over the valley below. There was one vehicle parked there. I set up my camera and tripod in front of the van near the guard rail. A security patrol car (Chevy caprice) arrived shortly after we arrived and then returned back down to the valley. The vehicle that was there when we arrived soon left also. I took a two minute exposure of the lights in the valley. The time was 8:18 pm.....

Shot, Implanted, and Tracked by Aliens?

by Bruce Cornet, Ph.D.

Introduction

Recently I was asked how I had so many close encounters and sightings of UAP.  "How are you landing in the right spots to get these videos of the "TR3" or "the real thing" on your website?"   How was I able to capture sightings on time exposures or on video that other investigators rarely got first hand?  The late Dr. Ellen Crystall had similar success in filming craft in the Pine Bush area: Silent Invasion, 1991.  Most investigators, however, have not been as successful, forcing them to study second or third hand reports from others.  To date I have had about 130 encounters or sightings, most of which occurred in the states of New York and New Jersey, and many from a distance of less than 500 feet (e.g. The Transformation; The Snaking Manta Fly-By; The Cemetery Sighting: "Oh Sure!").  The vast majority of sightings occurred between 1992 and 2003 in Orange County, New York, between the towns of Pine Bush, Montgomery, and Walden.

AOP = Anomalistic Observational Phenomenon - a general overall term for something unexplainable.
UAP = Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon - preferred because it does not imply origin or source.
UFO = Unidentified Flying Object - not preferred because it has become synonymous with alien spacecraft.

Because many of my sightings involved stealth angular craft such as FTs and the Manta Ray, some skeptics have been quick to dismiss my evidence as misidentifications of commercial or military aircraft.  For example, Amy Herbert states on The Yahoo Black Triangle E-Group (25 March 2004): "Anyone who has been following Dr. Bruce Cornet's claims and 'research' over the years would know what a flake he is. He claimed he was followed by UFO's that "communicated" with him and he went around photographing and video taping planes flying overhead calling them UFO's (you can even hear the engine sounds in one footage)." 

Their arguments and opinions are based in part on ignorance and bias, and in part on the patterns of navigation lights, which resemble that of commercial and military aircraft.  Take for example the pattern of navigation lights for the DC-9, which commonly flew in and out of Stewart International Airport at Newburgh, NY: When compared to those of some FTs, the differences are apparent when the details are examined.

Ignorance of my work and data are not limited to non-scientists and housewives.  I was surprised - no shocked - that the Administrator of NIDS and members of Bigelow's Science Advisory Board (including Jacque Vallee) were mostly unaware of my research and findings when I joined NIDS as their new Deputy Administrator in January 2004, even though some of my research data had been available on the internet for as long as eight years!  Since then there has been improvement through interest and education.

I have addressed the problem of misidentification, similarities, and differences between UAP and conventional aircraft on numerous web pages, in particular on Mimicry may be the Objective of ETI Triangular and Diamond-shaped Probes.  I have also addressed the problem of sound mimicry, and shown that UAP can project fake sounds in order to mimic the sounds of conventional turbofan engines.  However, when spectrographically analyzed, the differences are apparent.  One of the most apparent differences is the near absence of white noise (>2 kHz) as is present on all spectrograms of conventional jet engine sounds.  Most speaker systems made by humans are incapable of accurately replicating white noise due to physical vibrational limitations and power requirements above four kilohertz.  Either the FTs have a noise suppression system that significantly reduces white noise or the sound was played through a speaker system: Hence fake sound.

http://www.sunstar-solutions.com/AOP/reversedoppler/reversedoppler.htm

Crystall and I are not unique in having had numerous and repeated sightings of UAP.  Ed (The Judge) of Spokan, Washington, has photographed many UAP near where he lives, and had many of his images published on the Jeff Rense website, while Jennifer Jarvis has an entire website (ORBWATCH) devoted to her research on UAP over Lake Ontario, Canada.  In 2003 Jennifer became aware of Ed's sightings (she was already aware of mine).  She states on one of her web pages: "A visitor to Orbwatch, who lives near Valleyford in Washington State, noticed that the events he has been observing and photographing near his home are very similar in nature to those that I have been witnessing and documenting over Lake Ontario.

My sightings and encounters (along with those of Crystall) differ in one major respect from those of Jennifer and Ed in that the craft would come to me in the field and sometimes pace my car along the highway or along farm roads, traveling below 500 feet altitude for miles.  In addition, the types of craft I saw were commonly triangular or diamond-shaped when their silhouettes could be made out against the night sky.  Typically they put on performances for my cameras and for those of visiting television producers, and traveled across state borders to visit me in Red Bank, NJ, where I lived at the time: See A Performance over Red Bank.  Also see The Escort.  These aspects of my encounters are difficult for people to accept who are not familiar with the phenomenon, causing them to be sarcastic and even insulting.  But what most casual readers of my websites commonly miss are the details on various web pages which give meaning and understanding to what happened to me.  Perhaps the most important detail (highlighted in blue below) is presented on my web page called, The Cydonia II Report...

Let's go back to the question: How was I landing in the right spots to get those videos?

Many times events happen in life because of the choices we make.  No one prior to my involvement had taken a Precession Proton Magnetometer into the field to map magnetic anomalies near Pine Bush.  As I stated above, when I began taking magnetic measurements on 14 June 1992 along Rt. 52 and Albany Post Road with Patricia Huff, the data for each site contained numerous recurring magnetic spikes thousands of gammas above background levels.  The next time I went out into the field (18 June), all measurements were normal (i.e. at background levels).

QuoteSpecial Agent 707

Introduction

On 24 September 1992 between 6:10 pm and 7:20 pm Dr. Cornet was driving home from work at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, NY.  He lived in Middletown, NY, about 70 minutes from his job.  He normally took the New York Throughway (I-87) north to exit 16 (Harriman), and then took State Route 17M west to exit 20 at Middletown.  From there he drove about two miles east on Rte. 211E to his condo at Hillside Village.  On this particular day he was about to enter the Twilight Zone as he approached the Harriman exit (16). 

Story

Sunset was quickly approaching as Cornet drove north towards his exit on the New York Throughway, but it did not set before he saw something that completely challenged his senses.  Off to his right between the highway and Bear Mountain, which parallels the highway, he saw a large jetliner approaching in the distance.  The only problem was its altitude.  It was flying below the top of Bear Mountain, which has a maximum elevation of only 300 feet above the valley floor.

As it approached him it flashed its landing lights several times - on, off, on, off, on, off.  By now the jetliner was less than a half mile away, and it clearly had his attention.  Then the aircraft began to bank to its right.  It slowly crossed the highway just in front of him in plain view.  It was not much higher than 200 feet above the highway as it crossed less than 500 feet in front of him.  It just reached the other side of the highway as he passed it.  It had the distinct shape of a Boeing 707, but was painted solid black.  There were no markings on it whatsoever.  Even the windows seemed to be blackened out.  It did make a sound like a jetliner as it passed near him.

Simulation showing AOP (Anomalistic Observational Phenomena: Baker, 1968) as it crossed highway just south of Harriman exit on NY I-87



OK, now.  Let's here from the skeptics.  What could explain a large jetliner flying well below minimum altitude of 1,000 feet (FAA regulation outside airport control) and the pilot flashing his landing lights?  Was the pilot in trouble?  Was he trying to alert drivers on the highway as he attempted to make an emergency landing on the highway?

FAA regulation 91.515 Flight altitude rules: (a) Notwithstanding 91.119 and except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, no person may operate an airplane under VFR at less than -- (1) One thousand feet above the surface, or 1,000 feet from any mountain, hill, or other obstruction to flight, for day operations; and (2) The altitudes prescribed in 91.177 for night operations. (b) This section does not apply -- (1) During takeoff or landing; (2) When a different altitude is authorized by a waiver to this section under subpart J of this part; or (3) When a flight is conducted under a special VFR weather minimum of 91.157 with an appropriate clearance from ATC.

FAA regulation 91.177 Minimum altitude for IFR operations. (a) Operation of aircraft at minimum altitudes. Except when necessary for takeoff and landing, no person may operate an aircraft under IFR below - (1) The applicable minimum altitudes prescribed in Parts 95 and 97 of this chapter; or (2) If no applicable minimum altitude is prescribed in those parts -- (i) In the case of operations over an area designated a mountainous area in part 95, an altitude of 2,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal distance of 4 nautical miles from the course to be flown; or (ii) In any other case, an altitude of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal distance of 4 nautical miles from the course to be flown (AIM/FAR 1994 airman's information manual / federal aviation regulations).


These were some of the thoughts running through Cornet's mind as he prepared to take his exit at the Harriman toll exchange.  What disturbed him the most was his observation that there were no engine pods on the wings or body of the aircraft.  He dismissed that observation as probably mistaken (it made no sense whatsoever, given that he heard the distinct sound of jet engines).  He continued on his journey, now traveling west on Rte 17M.  But no further than a couple miles from the toll booths he saw the same aircraft again.  This second time it crossed the highway from left to right about 1/2 mile ahead of him.  It was again very low to the ground, and travelling at a slow speed: It took about five seconds to cross the highway.  He became very concerned, because there was now the distinct possibility that the pilot was in serious trouble and preparing to make a crash landing.  Even though the area seemed under-developed, Cornet knew that just beyond the trees along the highway there were large residential communities.  And several hills jutted up on both sides of the highway, making any low altitude flight there very hazardous. 

Cornet continued to question his eyes regarding the apparent speed of the aircraft.  It seemed to be going much too slow to stay in the air. The map below shows four locations of his truck when the AOP crossed in front of him over the highway.



About a mile or two further west on Rte 17M Cornet saw the aircraft again about 1/2 mile ahead of him.  This third time it crossed the highway from right to left at a similar slow speed and low altitude.  He gave a sigh of relief that it had not crashed into the residential community, but where was it going and why?  It was now becoming more apparent to him that whatever this thing was, it was putting on a show just for him.  No one in front of him or behind him on the highway had been there for all three shows.  But it couldn't be targeting him, he thought.  Who would ever believe him if he told such a wild story without evidence?  Anybody knows that a Boeing 707 can't fly without engines, and it would drop out of the air like a rock much below a stall speed of about 150 knots.

Cornet drove another mile shaking his head and wondering if anyone else who saw this aircraft was asking the same questions.  Then ahead of him there it was for the fourth time crossing the highway, but this time from left to right.  He had a hard time staring at it, because the Sun was just beginning to touch the horizon directly behind the aircraft.  The highway at this point was oriented exactly east-west.  This would be the last time he saw the aircraft in daylight, but not the last time that evening.  The best was yet to come.

About 32 minutes later he was approaching his exit at Middletown, NY.  The time was 7:12 pm.  It was completely dark by then.  As he approached the exit for Rte 211E, he saw a jetliner with all its night lights on approaching from the west-northwest (Truck 5 location on map below).  Because commercial jets on their way to Stewart airport 23 miles away commonly flew over Rte 211E, which is aligned with the main runway in this area, it is not uncommon to see a low-flying jet with landing lights on fly over this intersection.  But even jetliners on a glidepath did not fly as low as this aircraft flew that night.  As the AOP got closer, Cornet had a distinct sinking feeling that it was the same aircraft he had observed before (perhaps because of its low altitude).  He was not sure until it got over him.  By the time it reached his location, he was driving down the exit ramp to a stoplight at Rte 211E.  He glanced back and saw the jetliner just to his left out of the corner of his left eye as he slowed to a stop.   It was nearly above him.  But when he got to the light and stopped (Truck 6 location on map below), the jetliner did not appear ahead of him.  He looked all around.  It was nowhere to be seen.

The light changed about five seconds later, and he made a right turn onto the road to his condo.  As he turned the aircraft appeared directly above and in front of him.  It moved slowly ahead of him, but he caught up to it as he accelerated.  In hind sight he realized that it must have stopped with him at the light.  The aircraft was so low to the ground that its wings spanned the four lane road containing a grass divider.

Picture taken looking north from Middletown Motel, which is located at the intersection of routes 17M and 211E.


Not too many people would have paid much attention to it at this busy intersection, because of so much commercial airtraffic in the area.  As he drove east on Rte 211E the aircraft remained just ahead of him.  But he was traveling at only 45 mph!  Then he had to slow down for traffic in front of him.  He watched in total amazement as this huge aircraft (without any apparent engines) slowly moved down the road and eventually disappeared from sight.

Methods

His Minolta camera was mounted on an aluminum platform.  In front of a 300 mm zoom lens sat a three-bladed wheel mounted to a small electric motor.  A pressure sensitive switch to that motor was mounted on the bottom of the platform in front of the tripod mount.  Cornet used this device to chop a time exposure of a moving object at a known rate, which enabled him to calculate relative speed, and actual speed if he had a known measurement for the object.  At night he photographed mostly the lights of flying objects.  That night the chopper device proved to be worth its weight in gold.

The chopper device is not required to calculate the speed of an object.  Rutledge (1981, p. 49-64) used FOV (lens type), size of film (35mm x 23 mm), and the time of the exposure to calculate possible speed and size of the objects he photographed.  So long as the movement recorded on the film is contained within the margins of the image, and does not run off the edges, the total time of the exposure can be used.  The chopper device was not used for all of the pictures taken of the Boeing 707-like AOP.  When the light traces run off the top and/or bottom of the image, speed cannot be accurately calculated.  The chopper device allows the calculation of speed when the exposure is not timed, but it also alters the image through the loss of recorded data during each chop.  Click on image for chopper specifications.



Data

At 7:39 pm Cornet spotted an aircraft approaching from the direction of Middletown, NY.  It was flying over Rte 211E at an unusually low altitude of only 300-400 feet.  When it was above him he could see that it was the same aircraft, because it did not have any engine pods on its wings.  He then began taking time exposures.  He took four pictures on the first pass.  The aircraft appeared to be traveling at a snail's pace, taking at least 30 seconds to travel the distance represented by those four photographs.  A set of bright parking lot lights can be seen to the far lower left of the fourth image.  In that picture the aircraft can be seen to make a fishtail maneuver without banking.

During the last three pictures he used the rotating chopper blade to segment the light traces formed by solid lights.  It segmented the traces three times a second.  The second picture shows that the aircraft took 33 segments or 11 seconds to traverse the field of camera view.  If its wingspan duplicated that of a real Boeing 707, the distance between the outermost wingtip lights would be 146 feet.  By measuring the width of those lights at the beginning and end of the aircraft's path on the photo, taking their average, and dividing that distance into the length of the central trace, one gets 2.78 wing lengths traveled in 11 seconds.  By multiplying 2.78 times 146, one gets 406 feet, or about 2,214 feet per minute.  That computes to only 25 mph!
