A long look at a slow mover

  • A "Slow Mover" is a night sky object that moves too slow to be in orbit.
    They are usually only visible in the infra-red and they often flash at an arbitrary rate. Here, I capture a slow mover that morphs in appearance from a dim white ball, to a dull red sphere, to a brilliant white triangle.

    Great to see you again Jim... I'm seeing them here in India. Yeah they are always there...I thought these flashes were just a mere coincidence...i just wanted to try to be open minded and just call 'them'...eventhough I thought nothing's coming. But I was wrong..those flashes appeared...since then Ive always tried...but did fail sometimes....every nights that Ive seen them, I've wrote down in my diary...about the flashes and I would thank them.This was about two years ago...and yes I still see them.

    Love The vids Jim!!! Was wondering what was at the top of the screen at :05 and again top-right-ish of the screen at 3:06? Keep it coming!!! 💯

      I proud of you. You were the first to notice them. I categorized them as satellites in orbit because of their speed. In truth, there is no way to know what they are. My classification system is simple. If an object travels in a straight line at a speed of approximately 7-8 km/sec, I call it a satellite in orbit. How do I know the speed? First, I have to assume it’s in orbit, then I note how fast it moves on the screen. If it is moving in a straight line and would cross the screen in about 90 seconds, that is 7.5 km/sec. How can I assume it’s in orbit? What about airplanes way up in the sky? They move in straight lines too, generally. They also have strobe lights and navigation lights that can be seen from the ground. Also, all airplanes also travel at about the same speed, about 420 miles per hour or Mach 0.75. General aviation airplanes are slower, but they are also lower and therefore you can hear them and clearly see their lights. UAP have lights too, but they are not the same as those required by the FAA. If an object moves with either fast or too slow to be in orbit, makes radical turns, makes no sound, hovers, accelerates extremely rapidly, or displays non-standard lighting, I classify it as a UAP.

      Such good work! I applaud you 1000 times! The one at :05 reminds me a lot of what is often in NASA ISS videos of anomalies!

    You inspired me :-)
    I purchased the aurora and I'm watching. May i ask at what speed you play back your videos during review, to detect the flashes?

    • @jimlake5404
      @jimlake5404  3 місяці тому

      Yes, of course. I review the footage at 10x using Pot Player (a first class free program). Pot Player has lots of capabilities that are useful. I have found that I rarely miss an object at that speed, but one needs to be focused because it goes by quick. Usually, I will spot something, a flash of something, note the time (approximately), go back to that time, and then move back through the footage a frame at a time. When I find what caught my attention, I follow it backwards. That way you will see some of the faint events that you probably missed the first time thru. I also use my video editing program (Camtasia) to review footage. It has very smooth controls that allow you to sweep back and forth through the footage and isolate events frame by frame.

      Thanks Jim, I will look at Pot Player and camtasia.
      I got my infrared astronomy camera working and at 120 fps there is a lot of data to go through.

    My partner and i see it every night around the same time in the same spot. We’ve seen two objects that look like stars move towars each other, rotating around each other in a circular motion and the one disappeared… the other one increased in light density. Is this normal?

    • @jimlake5404
      @jimlake5404  3 місяці тому

      It’s normal for them. They do all kinds of odd things that we don’t understand.
