Kilgore is asleep... would love to have Jeff kilgore or someone else in Denver try to get this in 5K 120 FPS!

moves to fast for naked eye. SONY video of course sucks... :banghead:

Appears same time 111m to 1pm couple times a week apparently... according to the report.


Someone get the first 5K ufo footage! :coolgleamA:
 
It's an urban legend that UFOs don't allow to capture themselves in hi-def, only on crappy lowres camcorders ;)
I like the Doug Trumbull's UFOTOG project, though.

Incredible... thanks for sharing! Ill now be watching Douglas Trumbull videos for a while... what a brilliant man. ad no idea he shared his vision/expertise in video blogs - thanks again
 
I truly firmly believe that we most absolutely can not be Ignorant enough to believe that we are the only planet on the immensity of the Billions of Billions of Planets to host Intelligent and Advanced Life... However I can't believe how Ignorant really people are to just believe or make any news on silly stuff supposedly filmed by any one in such poor quality... In today's age and technology yo would think you can surely capture some clear images... Fact is, more then half the people in this forum could easily create a very convincing video of UFO at much higher resolution with very credible looking Space Ship... Right on their garage with couple of lights and a nice Green or Blue Screen if you prefer... ;)

Of course absolutely no disrespect intended to you Tim, but I just don't ever waist my time looking at any of this UFO silly crap any were... When Extraterrestrial Intelligent (in fact far more intelligent and advanced then we are) will visit us, if they ever do, we'll surely not be finding out via one of this very silly videos... Trust me on this one... ;)
 
In the face of those compelling fields of video, I got to thinking. Jeff Kilgroe is amazingly quick to answer questions relating to the latest chipsets or sensor technologies, but suspiciously silent on this important issue.
I did a little homework, and no posts were made by him in the times that these astonishing events took place, and now not a word about it. Am I the only one that finds that his silence speaks volumes?
It would be pretty difficult to post distraction posts, even for an alien life force, while piloting his craft faster than the human eye, agreed? And just where does he get his information?
I mean, it's almost superhuman.
Just saying...
:idea:

Well Ketch... I know you mean well... but probably the greatest cinematic genius of our time... disagrees with you.. take 3 minutes and watch what Douglas Trumbull is up to... what is funny is he starts the video with a hoax of his own. :)

EDIT: Also both the amateur and news crew used crappy Sony HD cams... my whole point ketch is I have yet to see ANY UFO footage taken on a RED Camera and since Jeff lives in Colorado and has an EPIC and this thing supposedly flies too fast to film ... and shows up at the same time... If I lived there I would find that guy and join him with my EPIC at 5K 96 FPS :)
 
That's simply an insect close to the camera, not an UFO! :closedeyes:
 
Good stuff Tim,

About time someone got some really good footage.

Hey Ketch, Apollo 14 Astronaut - Edgar Mitchell - reckons there's been a UFO cover up for 60 years +..........

uh oh....a UFO debate is brewing!

Yea I knew of him for a while now, great fun initiative, but mostly for a movie project, you have an idea I imagine of the Multi Billion dollar investment from each and every government inn the world to seek information on Intelligent Ultra planetary life, so surely no little Douglas alike can come close to it, its for a movie, so I applaud him, just lets hope is not in the kind of Blair Wich project type... ;)


Of course agree on the quality of the Sony cameras, that seem to always be used for this kind of things, and for a good reason, they do it in purpose so not to make out that it is FAKE... ;)


Otherwise I'm sure that even with an HD Sony or any other HD cam out there, they could indeed get some great image, just look at some great HD footage thee is out there of Airplanes flying sky high at two time the speed of Sound... ;)


My point, no average Joe, or Douglas, will bring us any REAL UFO footage... When we'l see it for the first time chances are, it will be directly from the Government surveillance systems, or seen by the masses at once.
 
Re: Doug Trumbull UFOTOG project; that is quite old now, was at least a couple of years with no further updates and was effectively Trumbull trying to raise funding. He gets involved with an incredible amount of projects and a lot of them end up in some sort of funding turnaround. However, there WAS an update recently and here's what he wrote (Sept 2012) about UFOTOG... in an e-mail to a UFO blogger interested in more information. (Sounds like Trumbull needs a billionaire investor.) :patriot:

Hi Jonathan,

I apologize, but UFOTOG is not a priority project with me right now.

To answer some of your questions:

I have invested heavily in the UFOTOG project for many years, yet have not been able to find financing to actually hit the road and do the real research. Therefore no real research has been attempted, which could require very expensive equipment and sensors, as well as a dedicated crew to work in the field for months or years. I created the UFOTOG demo film for the purpose of raising significant money to make an intensive long term study, hopefully resulting in a feature length IMAX type documentary of the REAL THING.

Whatever that is, I do not know, but what I do know is that even if we got amazing and scientifically valid, peer reviewable, data and imagery, who do you reveal it to? The police? The military? A government agency? Don't think so. But I would want people like Stephen Hawking or Michio Kaku to comment on what we find.

Nevertheless, recent interest has been shown by some "reality television" producers, but they have a significant financial inability to pay for the expensive equipment needed. They only budget for the production, not the science. So I am not confident that anything will happen. Shows like UFO HUNTERS is what they want and expect, and that is of no interest to me.

There has been no data collected, thus no secret data or images to release.

I am very passionate about the project, and may feature elements of UFOTOG in some upcoming sci-fi film projects, and maybe that will spark some interest in moving the project forward with the funding required. Real science is expensive, but there may be money for fiction. Go figure.

I will not give up on this.

All the best,

Doug
 
Just looks like someone flying a properly fast RC delta. I see a view much like this on the way to where I fly if one of the guys has got something rapid in the air. If you're not in that hobby you've likely never seen how unbelievable those things can be. As safety officer at my club I know we've caused UFO reports, reports of full size 'crashes' etc etc from the uninformed public.

This video is from 2009, but the planes are getting smaller, faster and cheaper all the time ;)
 
I bet they have a 1000k 10000000fps camera.
Jim, was that you ?
 
lol... a blue firefly? I think not. Ill go with the aviation experts opinion

More like a bumblebee. And it's not blue, it's mostly dark brownish. If you see blue it's blooming from the sky (remember: cheap camera), if you see bright edges it's sharpening (remember: cheap camera) or also direct reflection of the sun in the wings.

I stay with my opinion - but believe whatever you want. :wink:
 
Occam's Razor, anyone?

Basically, there are two options here:

Either this is a craft from an intelligent alien race visiting Earth from lightyears away.
Or this is something terrestrial we don't quite have an explanation for yet.

Which one is more likely?
