The 29th left me speechless. Took my Sony IMX678 Starvis II UVC module for a spin, and saw it all

- Video begins at 7:26 p.m. on the 29th. Veneta, Oregon. I went outside and it looked like every other star in the sky was scintillating intensely. This video began at 11 plus minutes in length, now edited down to 8ish. I have another hour worth of footage (not even including the stationary cameras I have) that I need to go over but I've been busier than I'd like to be.
So I spot the first orb and it's all over the place, changing direction and velocity at a greater frequency than I'm used to seeing. It seems to be on a lazy looping tour of the sky and it just so happens to be passing pretty close to those scintillating stars as mentioning earlier. I did get the impression it was inspecting similar orbs that were just sitting up there, just my take.
To my surprise, the orb ends up joining what appears to be two other orbs and, as a triangular group, they all start to rotate and fly my direction overhead. Because I'm using a 10x telephoto lens they quickly get too close to keep in field and when I try to re-acquire them, they are nowhere to be found. I let my camera rest on a blank patch of sky, or so I thought, as I used my eyes to scan for more movement.
While scanning the sky, my camera picks up some objects that I didn't or couldn't notice myself. About five very dim orbs. At least three pass through the same coordinates in quick succession. Best I can make out one flies through the frame quickly at a steep angle, followed by one which stays stationary. While stationary for a moment, two orbs pass right next to it. One headed east, flying parallel to the ground, very level. Followed by another traveling at what appeared to be a perfect 45 angle in relation to the first. One more came and went however I can't remember at the moment what exactly it did. It's been a long day. these orbs, and for that matter most of the scintillating orbs I focused on during the filming, would be lost from view when they just up and vanished. That's what the stationary one appeared to do.
My camera pointing north, I notice a couple of pretty bright airplanes coming South down the valley. They had different magnitude and about the same velocity... I mean, the plane in the back, the seemingly smaller one, it was climbing and descending at rates that I thought were fairly unheard of in commercial flight. Also it seemed to be approaching those same scintillating stars from earlier. They kept a pretty close distance all the way past my position headed south, And I didn't lose them / stop trying to follow them till they passed behind a big-ass tree, and I decided to look for more in the sky. before that tree, they passed behind a big maple nearby and so as they get closest to my position they do appear to be going behind some objects, maple branches.
Checking the flight database after the fact, there was only one plane headed south during that time frame. Flightradar24 and ADS-B exchange. That's just about where this clip ends. It seems likely to me that that plane passed pretty damn close to these groups of very hard to see objects, and I'm super curious if the pilot saw anything because it looks like they flew right by them.
I have to wonder, after recording a few hard to see orbs just leaving my camera pointing somewhere randomly in the sky, how many there are in total. All in all it seems like the others are quite busy at the moment.
The footage has a pinkish red hue because I removed the infrared filter. It does tint the entire picture but you do get a broader spectrum of light and thus can see more. Also increases the magnitude of almost everything, across the board. When filming the night sky more light is almost always better, barring over exposure. The IMX678 is cutting-edge for low-light conditions. Modules that have it start at about 60 bucks and go up from there depending on what features you want. Pictured is the camera responsible. When filming outside I'm using my fluid video head tripod. that one is my gimbal's tripod. I'm going to take a close look at the rest of my footage ASAP.
In this video the top pane is an edge-detect negative of the original, and the bottom pane is the original, both at 1.5 times speed to keep it relatively brief. There's a half speed section in the middle where I cover the hard to see orbs
what was on the 29th? there was another video within a few days ago, where it was a similar shot. High quality camera, and a bunch of shit popping in and out. I can't find it now in my history or saved links. I don't think it was you but I could be wrong. Looked similar to this but not split screen. Sorry it won't let me post a comment on the other site
My last video is from my turret cam. Got a few videos of orbs like this overhead, not with this sensor. I kid you not, they're up there every single night, just loitering with occasional travel if nothing else
@@NonLocalSoul Yeah I believe it of course. Anyone that has spent time looking into the night sky always sees stuff like it out of the corner of the eye. It's usually gone by the time you look or are just not detectable straight on, and we convince ourselves its a trick of the eye
This is blank?
Yeah all I’m getting is a grey screen
Thanks for posting this! I am blown away! It's hypnotizing!
