00:00:05,910 --> 00:00:03,350
tuesday august 15 2017. you are

2
00:00:08,310 --> 00:00:05,920
listening to inception radio network

3
00:00:13,270 --> 00:00:08,320
voice of the fringe majority this is

4
00:00:17,029 --> 00:00:15,509
tonight's sky watching forecast from

5
00:00:20,790 --> 00:00:17,039
earthsky.org

6
00:00:23,429 --> 00:00:20,800
is actually for pre-dawn hours tomorrow

7
00:00:26,870 --> 00:00:23,439
so who's bringing the coffee

8
00:00:29,509 --> 00:00:26,880
tomorrow well august 16th 2017 in the

9
00:00:31,910 --> 00:00:29,519
pre-dawn hours people around the world

10
00:00:34,150 --> 00:00:31,920
will see the moon shining quite close to

11
00:00:37,030 --> 00:00:34,160
aldebaran the brightest star in the

12
00:00:39,350 --> 00:00:37,040
constellation taurus the bull

13
00:00:41,750 --> 00:00:39,360
you'll also see the constellation orion

14
00:00:44,709 --> 00:00:41,760
the hunter near the eastern horizon

15
00:00:47,110 --> 00:00:44,719
shortly before dawn's first light the

16
00:00:50,389 --> 00:00:47,120
moon will be there to show you aldebaran

17
00:00:52,549 --> 00:00:50,399
this week but note that orion's belt

18
00:00:54,630 --> 00:00:52,559
also points to this star that's how you

19
00:00:55,990 --> 00:00:54,640
can find it after the moon has left this

20
00:00:58,630 --> 00:00:56,000
part of the sky

21
00:01:00,950 --> 00:00:58,640
taking its pesky moonlight with it we

22
00:01:03,029 --> 00:01:00,960
might add if you were at just the right

23
00:01:06,070 --> 00:01:03,039
spot on earth on the morning of august

24
00:01:08,390 --> 00:01:06,080
16th the caribbean the northeastern tip

25
00:01:11,109 --> 00:01:08,400
of south america and north atlantic

26
00:01:14,310 --> 00:01:11,119
ocean you could watch the waning moon a

27
00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:14,320
cult or cover over the star aldebaran in

28
00:01:19,429 --> 00:01:17,520
the wee hours of the morning august 16th

29
00:01:22,149 --> 00:01:19,439
even though most of the world won't see

30
00:01:23,990 --> 00:01:22,159
this occultation the moon and aldebaran

31
00:01:27,350 --> 00:01:24,000
will still be close together on that

32
00:01:30,710 --> 00:01:27,360
morning given clear skies the moon and

33
00:01:32,630 --> 00:01:30,720
aldebaran should be yours to behold as

34
00:01:35,109 --> 00:01:32,640
always earthsky provides plenty of

35
00:01:36,469 --> 00:01:35,119
graphs maps and charts for your

36
00:01:38,469 --> 00:01:36,479
consultation

37
00:01:40,789 --> 00:01:38,479
every place within a solid white line

38
00:01:42,469 --> 00:01:40,799
shown on one of these charts well that's

39
00:01:44,630 --> 00:01:42,479
where people will be in a position to

40
00:01:47,830 --> 00:01:44,640
observe the lunar occultation of

41
00:01:49,510 --> 00:01:47,840
aldebaran in that pre-dawn sky it seems

42
00:01:53,030 --> 00:01:49,520
that this month's occultation of

43
00:01:55,510 --> 00:01:53,040
aldebaran is part of a series of 49

44
00:01:57,670 --> 00:01:55,520
monthly occultations of this star by the

45
00:02:01,429 --> 00:01:57,680
moon the first occultation of this

46
00:02:03,749 --> 00:02:01,439
series started january 29 2015 and the

47
00:02:06,630 --> 00:02:03,759
final occultation that will conclude

48
00:02:09,510 --> 00:02:06,640
september 23rd 2018

49
00:02:11,270 --> 00:02:09,520
but no matter where you live worldwide

50
00:02:14,150 --> 00:02:11,280
look for the moon to shine in the

51
00:02:17,589 --> 00:02:14,160
vicinity of the star aldebaran during

52
00:02:20,790 --> 00:02:17,599
the pre-dawn hours tomorrow august 16th

53
00:02:23,430 --> 00:02:20,800
bottom line if you're a night owl or an

54
00:02:25,750 --> 00:02:23,440
early bird watch the moon pass in front

55
00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:25,760
of the constellation taurus the bull

56
00:02:29,750 --> 00:02:27,760
over the next few days

57
00:02:31,990 --> 00:02:29,760
here's a rather exciting headline from

58
00:02:34,949 --> 00:02:32,000
earth sky as well with a byline for

59
00:02:37,990 --> 00:02:34,959
eddie irizarry he writes their astronomy

60
00:02:40,949 --> 00:02:38,000
essentials and here's what he writes

61
00:02:43,270 --> 00:02:40,959
named for florence nightingale

62
00:02:45,509 --> 00:02:43,280
asteroid 3122

63
00:02:48,390 --> 00:02:45,519
florence is the biggest near-earth

64
00:02:50,550 --> 00:02:48,400
object to pass this close to earth since

65
00:02:52,710 --> 00:02:50,560
this category of objects was discovered

66
00:02:55,670 --> 00:02:52,720
over a century ago

67
00:02:58,790 --> 00:02:55,680
and it might be visible with binoculars

68
00:03:01,030 --> 00:02:58,800
so grab them off the shelf dust them off

69
00:03:03,030 --> 00:03:01,040
and take a look the next attraction

70
00:03:05,110 --> 00:03:03,040
coming up in our skies after the

71
00:03:06,550 --> 00:03:05,120
spectacular total solar eclipse of

72
00:03:08,630 --> 00:03:06,560
august 21st

73
00:03:11,110 --> 00:03:08,640
might be an asteroid big enough to be

74
00:03:13,910 --> 00:03:11,120
seen in small telescopes and maybe even

75
00:03:17,430 --> 00:03:13,920
those binoculars it'll be appearing as a

76
00:03:22,030 --> 00:03:17,440
small very slow-moving star

77
00:03:25,990 --> 00:03:22,040
asteroid 1981 et3 also known as

78
00:03:30,229 --> 00:03:26,000
3122 florence is a huge space rock at

79
00:03:33,430 --> 00:03:30,239
least 2.7 miles or 4.35 kilometers in

80
00:03:36,070 --> 00:03:33,440
diameter according to paul chodas at the

81
00:03:39,270 --> 00:03:36,080
center for near-earth object studies

82
00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:39,280
quote florence is the largest asteroid

83
00:03:43,670 --> 00:03:41,440
to pass this close to our planet since

84
00:03:46,390 --> 00:03:43,680
the first near-earth asteroid was

85
00:03:47,910 --> 00:03:46,400
discovered over a century ago

86
00:03:51,830 --> 00:03:47,920
end quotes

87
00:03:55,750 --> 00:03:51,840
yep asteroid 3122 florence will safely

88
00:03:59,429 --> 00:03:55,760
pass by our planet september 1st 2017 at

89
00:04:01,750 --> 00:03:59,439
over 18 times the earth moon distance

90
00:04:04,390 --> 00:04:01,760
the asteroid will not be visible to the

91
00:04:07,350 --> 00:04:04,400
unaided eye it will however become

92
00:04:09,589 --> 00:04:07,360
visible in small amateur telescopes by

93
00:04:12,229 --> 00:04:09,599
late august in the course of what will

94
00:04:15,110 --> 00:04:12,239
become the closest encounter to earth by

95
00:04:17,030 --> 00:04:15,120
this asteroid since 1890 and it says

96
00:04:20,789 --> 00:04:17,040
right here it won't come this close

97
00:04:23,350 --> 00:04:20,799
again until after the year 2500. and not

98
00:04:25,510 --> 00:04:23,360
to worry but of course this part among

99
00:04:28,550 --> 00:04:25,520
the near-earth asteroids classified as

100
00:04:31,270 --> 00:04:28,560
potentially hazardous florence is one of

101
00:04:32,870 --> 00:04:31,280
the biggest biggest asteroids include

102
00:04:37,350 --> 00:04:32,880
1999

103
00:04:39,590 --> 00:04:37,360
jm8 it's 4.3 miles or 7 kilometers for

104
00:04:43,270 --> 00:04:39,600
183 kuno

105
00:04:46,950 --> 00:04:43,280
that's 3.5 miles or 5.6 kilometers and

106
00:04:50,629 --> 00:04:46,960
last but not least 3200 phaeton that's

107
00:04:52,870 --> 00:04:50,639
3.2 miles or 5.1 kilometers which is

108
00:04:55,189 --> 00:04:52,880
thought to be the parent body of the

109
00:04:58,150 --> 00:04:55,199
geminid meteor shower

110
00:04:59,830 --> 00:04:58,160
of these however florence is brightest

111
00:05:02,710 --> 00:04:59,840
making it an excellent target for

112
00:05:06,070 --> 00:05:02,720
possible glimpses via small telescopes

113
00:05:08,870 --> 00:05:06,080
and binoculars its size is about half

114
00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:08,880
the elevation of mount everest and that

115
00:05:14,710 --> 00:05:10,320
should allow it to reach a visual

116
00:05:16,469 --> 00:05:14,720
magnitude of plus 8.75 to plus 9 making

117
00:05:19,350 --> 00:05:16,479
it a relatively easy target for

118
00:05:22,230 --> 00:05:19,360
experienced observers at sites with dark

119
00:05:24,790 --> 00:05:22,240
skies astronomers will study the flyby

120
00:05:26,870 --> 00:05:24,800
of the huge asteroid and radar

121
00:05:29,430 --> 00:05:26,880
observations are also scheduled from

122
00:05:32,310 --> 00:05:29,440
nasa's goldstone radar between august

123
00:05:34,710 --> 00:05:32,320
29th to september 8th this year

124
00:05:36,790 --> 00:05:34,720
the arecibo observatory in puerto rico

125
00:05:40,070 --> 00:05:36,800
will also analyze florence from

126
00:05:43,270 --> 00:05:40,080
september 2nd to the 5th 2017

127
00:05:46,390 --> 00:05:43,280
paul chodes of the center of neo studies

128
00:05:48,310 --> 00:05:46,400
also said quote the september 1st flyby

129
00:05:50,230 --> 00:05:48,320
of florence will provide astronomers

130
00:05:52,870 --> 00:05:50,240
with an excellent opportunity to make

131
00:05:54,870 --> 00:05:52,880
detailed measurements of a large

132
00:05:57,590 --> 00:05:54,880
near-earth asteroid

133
00:05:59,510 --> 00:05:57,600
in particular radar scientists expect to

134
00:06:01,830 --> 00:05:59,520
obtain high-resolution images of

135
00:06:05,110 --> 00:06:01,840
florence that could reveal surface

136
00:06:06,550 --> 00:06:05,120
features as small as 10 meters 30 feet

137
00:06:10,309 --> 00:06:06,560
end quotes

138
00:06:12,469 --> 00:06:10,319
the asteroid rotates in about 2.5 hours

139
00:06:15,189 --> 00:06:12,479
and radar observations may reveal

140
00:06:17,990 --> 00:06:15,199
whether florence is a close or contact

141
00:06:21,110 --> 00:06:18,000
binary or even whether the space rock

142
00:06:22,710 --> 00:06:21,120
has its own small orbiting moon

143
00:06:25,909 --> 00:06:22,720
the closest approach to earth is

144
00:06:28,870 --> 00:06:25,919
expected to occur about 806 a.m eastern

145
00:06:31,510 --> 00:06:28,880
daylight time september 1st 2017

146
00:06:33,350 --> 00:06:31,520
but backyard observers using a telescope

147
00:06:36,150 --> 00:06:33,360
can try to get a glimpse of the space

148
00:06:38,629 --> 00:06:36,160
rock a few nights before that date

149
00:06:40,950 --> 00:06:38,639
on the night of august 27th the asteroid

150
00:06:44,309 --> 00:06:40,960
will be in the constellation of piscus

151
00:06:46,230 --> 00:06:44,319
ostrinis reaching about 19 degrees above

152
00:06:49,029 --> 00:06:46,240
the southern horizon if you're viewing

153
00:06:51,909 --> 00:06:49,039
from central united states late in the

154
00:06:55,029 --> 00:06:51,919
night of august 29th the space rock will

155
00:06:58,629 --> 00:06:55,039
move into capricornus and reaches an

156
00:07:00,950 --> 00:06:58,639
elevation of 33 degrees as seen from for

157
00:07:02,469 --> 00:07:00,960
instance the state of kansas in the

158
00:07:04,070 --> 00:07:02,479
united states

159
00:07:07,029 --> 00:07:04,080
its distance will make it difficult to

160
00:07:09,029 --> 00:07:07,039
detect its slow motion across the stars

161
00:07:11,589 --> 00:07:09,039
unless you're using at least a five inch

162
00:07:13,589 --> 00:07:11,599
diameter or bigger telescope and looking

163
00:07:15,830 --> 00:07:13,599
in the right direction

164
00:07:17,710 --> 00:07:15,840
although asteroid florence is traveling

165
00:07:22,870 --> 00:07:17,720
at 30

166
00:07:26,150 --> 00:07:22,880
266 miles per hour 48 708 kilometers per

167
00:07:27,270 --> 00:07:26,160
hour the distance will make it appear so

168
00:07:29,189 --> 00:07:27,280
slow

169
00:07:31,749 --> 00:07:29,199
that observers should keep watching the

170
00:07:33,589 --> 00:07:31,759
fairly bright asteroid for about five to

171
00:07:35,350 --> 00:07:33,599
ten minutes to detect its movement

172
00:07:37,510 --> 00:07:35,360
across the stars

173
00:07:39,670 --> 00:07:37,520
florence by the way was discovered march

174
00:07:41,670 --> 00:07:39,680
2nd 1981

175
00:07:45,270 --> 00:07:41,680
they watched it to begin with from the

176
00:07:47,189 --> 00:07:45,280
sighting spring observatory in australia

177
00:07:51,350 --> 00:07:47,199
its name is in honor of florence

178
00:07:53,189 --> 00:07:51,360
nightingale 1820 1910 the founder of

179
00:07:55,029 --> 00:07:53,199
modern nursing

180
00:07:57,189 --> 00:07:55,039
it won't be just folks down here on

181
00:07:59,749 --> 00:07:57,199
earth watching for that solar eclipse

182
00:08:02,790 --> 00:07:59,759
that total solar eclipse the space

183
00:08:05,350 --> 00:08:02,800
station crew will get three shots at the

184
00:08:08,230 --> 00:08:05,360
solar eclipse that's the headline we

185
00:08:09,990 --> 00:08:08,240

00:08:19,670 --> 00:08:17,280
the united states space program

191
00:08:22,230 --> 00:08:19,680
full-time since 1984.

192
00:08:24,869 --> 00:08:22,240

00:08:30,869 --> 00:08:28,039
consultant for cbs news he covered

195
00:08:32,949 --> 00:08:30,879
129 space shuttle missions

196
00:08:36,230 --> 00:08:32,959
every interplanetary flight since

197
00:08:38,790 --> 00:08:36,240
voyager 2's flyby of neptune and scores

198
00:08:40,389 --> 00:08:38,800
of commercial and military launches

199
00:08:42,630 --> 00:08:40,399

200
00:08:44,949 --> 00:08:42,640
florida bill harwood is a devoted

201

of shuttle columbia

204
00:08:55,509 --> 00:08:52,880
so here's his story again the headline

205
00:08:57,350 --> 00:08:55,519
space station crew to get three shots at

206
00:08:59,430 --> 00:08:57,360
solar eclipse

207
00:09:02,070 --> 00:08:59,440
the international space station's crew

208
00:09:04,150 --> 00:09:02,080
will enjoy views of the august 21st

209
00:09:06,470 --> 00:09:04,160
solar eclipse during three successive

210
00:09:08,790 --> 00:09:06,480
orbits giving the astronauts a unique

211
00:09:12,230 --> 00:09:08,800
opportunity to take in the celestial

212
00:09:14,470 --> 00:09:12,240
show from 250 miles up as the moon's

213
00:09:16,470 --> 00:09:14,480
shadow races across from the pacific

214
00:09:18,949 --> 00:09:16,480
ocean and the continental united states

215
00:09:20,870 --> 00:09:18,959
before moving out over the atlantic

216
00:09:23,269 --> 00:09:20,880
quote because we're going around the

217
00:09:25,350 --> 00:09:23,279
earth every 90 minutes about the time it

218
00:09:27,350 --> 00:09:25,360
takes the sun to cross the united states

219
00:09:29,590 --> 00:09:27,360
we'll get to see it three times and

220
00:09:31,750 --> 00:09:29,600
quotes that's from randy bresnik what he

221
00:09:34,310 --> 00:09:31,760
said friday during a nasa facebook

222
00:09:36,389 --> 00:09:34,320
session he continues quote the first

223
00:09:38,870 --> 00:09:36,399
time we'll be just off the west coast

224
00:09:41,269 --> 00:09:38,880
we'll actually cross the path of the sun

225
00:09:44,070 --> 00:09:41,279
and we'll have a partial eclipse looking

226
00:09:46,070 --> 00:09:44,080
up from the space station end quotes

227
00:09:48,949 --> 00:09:46,080
for the station crew the first partial

228
00:09:52,070 --> 00:09:48,959
eclipse opportunity will begin at 12 33

229
00:09:53,509 --> 00:09:52,080
a.m eastern daylight time and end 13

230
00:09:56,070 --> 00:09:53,519
minutes later

231
00:09:58,550 --> 00:09:56,080
floating in the european columbus

232
00:10:00,790 --> 00:09:58,560
laboratory module randy bresnik showed

233
00:10:03,030 --> 00:10:00,800
off a solar filter shipped up to the

234
00:10:04,870 --> 00:10:03,040
station earlier saying quote we've got

235
00:10:06,870 --> 00:10:04,880
specially equipped cameras that will

236
00:10:08,949 --> 00:10:06,880
have these solar filters on them to

237
00:10:10,630 --> 00:10:08,959
allow us to take pictures of the sun

238
00:10:12,870 --> 00:10:10,640
that's going to be pretty neat we'll

239
00:10:13,829 --> 00:10:12,880
have a couple of us shooting that end

240
00:10:15,750 --> 00:10:13,839
quotes

241
00:10:17,829 --> 00:10:15,760
one orbit later the station will cross

242
00:10:19,990 --> 00:10:17,839
the path of the eclipse in the extreme

243
00:10:22,310 --> 00:10:20,000
northwest following a trajectory that

244
00:10:24,470 --> 00:10:22,320
will carry the lab over central canada

245
00:10:27,350 --> 00:10:24,480
on the way to the north atlantic

246
00:10:29,190 --> 00:10:27,360
from the space station's perspective 44

247
00:10:31,509 --> 00:10:29,200
of the sun will be blocked in a partial

248
00:10:34,230 --> 00:10:31,519
eclipse but the crew will be able to see

249
00:10:36,710 --> 00:10:34,240
the umbra where the eclipse is total

250
00:10:39,110 --> 00:10:36,720
near the southern horizon quote we'll be

251
00:10:41,750 --> 00:10:39,120
north of lake huron in canada then we'll

252
00:10:44,550 --> 00:10:41,760
be able to see the umbra or that shadow

253
00:10:46,710 --> 00:10:44,560
of the eclipse actually on the earth

254
00:10:48,870 --> 00:10:46,720
right around the tennessee kentucky area

255
00:10:51,190 --> 00:10:48,880
the western side of both of those states

256
00:10:53,190 --> 00:10:51,200
and quote said bresnik he continued

257
00:10:55,910 --> 00:10:53,200
quote that'll be an opportunity for us

258
00:10:57,910 --> 00:10:55,920
to take video and take still pictures

259
00:11:00,550 --> 00:10:57,920
and kind of show you from the human

260
00:11:01,750 --> 00:11:00,560
perspective what it's going to look like

261
00:11:04,630 --> 00:11:01,760
end quotes

262
00:11:06,230 --> 00:11:04,640
the umbra defining the 70 mile wide

263
00:11:08,550 --> 00:11:06,240
shadow where the sun's disk will be

264
00:11:11,750 --> 00:11:08,560
completely blocked out will be at its

265
00:11:14,389 --> 00:11:11,760
closest to the space station at 2 23 p.m

266
00:11:17,110 --> 00:11:14,399
the moon's shadow will be about 1 100

267
00:11:20,150 --> 00:11:17,120
miles away from the lab complex but from

268
00:11:22,069 --> 00:11:20,160
their perch 250 miles up the astronauts

269
00:11:24,870 --> 00:11:22,079
should be able to photograph that dark

270
00:11:26,949 --> 00:11:24,880
patch as they race along in their orbit

271
00:11:28,710 --> 00:11:26,959
quote and then the third pass is

272
00:11:30,949 --> 00:11:28,720
actually just off the east coast and

273
00:11:33,350 --> 00:11:30,959
quotes andy bresnik said

274
00:11:35,590 --> 00:11:33,360
he said quote we'll come around one more

275
00:11:38,710 --> 00:11:35,600
time and from the station side we'll see

276
00:11:41,670 --> 00:11:38,720
about an 85 eclipse of the sun looking

277
00:11:43,829 --> 00:11:41,680
up that should be about 4 17 p.m

278
00:11:46,949 --> 00:11:43,839
so we should be able to get really neat

279
00:11:49,829 --> 00:11:46,959
photos with our filters of the sun being

280
00:11:52,230 --> 00:11:49,839
occluded by the moon end quotes

281
00:11:54,230 --> 00:11:52,240
nasa plans to provide four hours of

282
00:11:56,630 --> 00:11:54,240
eclipse coverage starting at noon

283
00:11:58,630 --> 00:11:56,640
eastern daylight time on the agency's

284
00:12:01,670 --> 00:11:58,640

under sighting specifics categories

311
00:13:14,470 --> 00:13:10,639
our witness reports a viewing distance

312
00:13:18,150 --> 00:13:14,480
of 101 to 500 feet initially and then

313
00:13:19,269 --> 00:13:18,160
moving out to 501 feet and eventually

314
00:13:21,910 --> 00:13:19,279
one mile

315
00:13:24,389 --> 00:13:21,920
the altitude was over 500 feet

316
00:13:26,629 --> 00:13:24,399
underneath a cloud cover

317
00:13:28,310 --> 00:13:26,639
citing duration six minutes object

318
00:13:31,110 --> 00:13:28,320
features none

319
00:13:32,870 --> 00:13:31,120
object flight path straight line path

320
00:13:35,990 --> 00:13:32,880
and this object was shaped like a

321
00:13:37,750 --> 00:13:36,000
cylinder here's the report it's somewhat

322
00:13:39,190 --> 00:13:37,760
vague it seems to involve two

323
00:13:41,509 --> 00:13:39,200
individuals

324
00:13:44,150 --> 00:13:41,519
i was looking around for an object in my

325
00:13:46,629 --> 00:13:44,160
friend's family member's home

326
00:13:48,790 --> 00:13:46,639
and he saw this ufo speeding past

327
00:13:50,870 --> 00:13:48,800
outside the window so he rushed to get

328
00:13:52,790 --> 00:13:50,880
his phone and snapped the two pictures

329
00:13:54,550 --> 00:13:52,800
attached in the post

330
00:13:56,310 --> 00:13:54,560
i noticed the object when its bright

331
00:13:58,470 --> 00:13:56,320
light caught my eyes

332
00:14:01,110 --> 00:13:58,480
the object was flying at a medium to

333
00:14:02,629 --> 00:14:01,120
high pace across the sky allowing me

334
00:14:04,150 --> 00:14:02,639
enough time to capture it with my

335
00:14:06,230 --> 00:14:04,160
phone's camera

336
00:14:09,189 --> 00:14:06,240
i lost sight of the object once it had

337
00:14:12,069 --> 00:14:09,199
flown behind some trees and no one saw

338
00:14:13,670 --> 00:14:12,079
it afterwards it disappeared behind

339
00:14:15,910 --> 00:14:13,680
those trees

340
00:14:18,790 --> 00:14:15,920
sometimes it does manifest a little bit

341
00:14:21,110 --> 00:14:18,800
like hide and seek no

342
00:14:24,310 --> 00:14:21,120
it's not too much of a trek let's go to

343
00:14:26,030 --> 00:14:24,320
glasgow scotland shall we that's where

344
00:14:29,670 --> 00:14:26,040
mufon case number

345
00:14:32,310 --> 00:14:29,680
85801 happened the date of the event and

346
00:14:34,790 --> 00:14:32,320
the citing report date the same date

347
00:14:38,710 --> 00:14:34,800
august 10 2017

348
00:14:41,829 --> 00:14:38,720
in summary three diamond-shaped clusters

349
00:14:43,750 --> 00:14:41,839
lights close to each other hovered

350
00:14:46,069 --> 00:14:43,760
moved off

351
00:14:49,430 --> 00:14:46,079
sighting specifics offer a viewing

352
00:14:53,189 --> 00:14:49,440
distance in this case 501 feet to one

353
00:14:55,350 --> 00:14:53,199
mile the altitude was over 500 feet and

354
00:14:57,670 --> 00:14:55,360
there was cloud cover the sighting

355
00:14:59,509 --> 00:14:57,680
duration was seven minutes

356
00:15:01,269 --> 00:14:59,519
but

357
00:15:03,189 --> 00:15:01,279
riding a motorcycle isn't just about

358
00:15:04,470 --> 00:15:03,199
what you ride how you look or your

359
00:15:07,110 --> 00:15:04,480
destination

360
00:15:08,629 --> 00:15:07,120
it's about freedom and adventure once

361
00:15:10,949 --> 00:15:08,639
you start it becomes a part of who you

362
00:15:13,110 --> 00:15:10,959
are it gets in your blood but a word of

363
00:15:15,430 --> 00:15:13,120
caution if you dilute your blood with

364
00:15:17,590 --> 00:15:15,440
alcohol and get on your bike well you've

365
00:15:19,829 --> 00:15:17,600
lost it because that's not riding that's

366
00:15:21,910 --> 00:15:19,839
just being stupid alcohol slows your

367
00:15:23,269 --> 00:15:21,920
reflexes and coordination and please

368
00:15:25,350 --> 00:15:23,279
notice these things

369
00:15:26,710 --> 00:15:25,360
so remember why you ride because if you

370
00:15:28,870 --> 00:15:26,720
don't ride sober

371
00:15:31,269 --> 00:15:28,880
you will get pulled over bite of that

372
00:15:33,750 --> 00:15:31,279
time the object features simply get that

373
00:15:35,990 --> 00:15:33,760
report of unknown

374
00:15:38,870 --> 00:15:36,000
the object flight path was hovering and

375
00:15:41,910 --> 00:15:38,880
then path and then a straight line path

376
00:15:45,269 --> 00:15:41,920
then a path with directional change

377
00:15:47,750 --> 00:15:45,279
this object's shape diamond settle back

378
00:15:50,949 --> 00:15:47,760
it's a long account

379
00:15:53,430 --> 00:15:50,959
at 12 40 am i went out to my balcony to

380
00:15:56,150 --> 00:15:53,440
have a final cigarette before bed

381
00:15:58,310 --> 00:15:56,160
it was a clear cloudless night and as i

382
00:16:00,230 --> 00:15:58,320
looked at the sky i noticed what i

383
00:16:03,189 --> 00:16:00,240
initially thought was a plane

384
00:16:05,990 --> 00:16:03,199
i realized it was moving but hovering at

385
00:16:08,069 --> 00:16:06,000
the same time in the same place

386
00:16:12,310 --> 00:16:08,079
it was then that i also realized there

387
00:16:14,550 --> 00:16:12,320
was no sound whatsoever coming from it

388
00:16:17,509 --> 00:16:14,560
this made me look at it more closely as

389
00:16:19,350 --> 00:16:17,519
i wasn't sure what this was

390
00:16:22,310 --> 00:16:19,360
this is when i could see that it

391
00:16:24,870 --> 00:16:22,320
actually consisted of four lights

392
00:16:26,949 --> 00:16:24,880
forming the shape of a diamond

393
00:16:29,350 --> 00:16:26,959
the top light and the one diagonally

394
00:16:31,990 --> 00:16:29,360
beneath it were white the other light

395
00:16:33,749 --> 00:16:32,000
diagonally beneath and the bottom light

396
00:16:36,470 --> 00:16:33,759
those were both red

397
00:16:38,550 --> 00:16:36,480
i knew this wasn't a plane or a

398
00:16:40,870 --> 00:16:38,560
helicopter because of the unusual

399
00:16:42,470 --> 00:16:40,880
formation of those lights and the lack

400
00:16:45,269 --> 00:16:42,480
of sound

401
00:16:48,470 --> 00:16:45,279
i watched as the cluster of lights which

402
00:16:50,949 --> 00:16:48,480
were slowly flashing slowly and silently

403
00:16:52,790 --> 00:16:50,959
began to move in a straight line in a

404
00:16:55,670 --> 00:16:52,800
northerly direction

405
00:16:57,910 --> 00:16:55,680
as my balcony faces south it slowly

406
00:16:59,590 --> 00:16:57,920
moved out of my line of vision

407
00:17:01,350 --> 00:16:59,600
as i looked back to where i had

408
00:17:05,429 --> 00:17:01,360
originally spotted this hovering in the

409
00:17:08,309 --> 00:17:05,439
sky i was amazed to see yet another set

410
00:17:10,470 --> 00:17:08,319
of four lights hovering in the exact

411
00:17:11,590 --> 00:17:10,480
spot i had just seen the previous lights

412
00:17:14,230 --> 00:17:11,600
hovering

413
00:17:15,270 --> 00:17:14,240
again four lights forming the shape of a

414
00:17:17,909 --> 00:17:15,280
diamond

415
00:17:19,909 --> 00:17:17,919
but this time all four lights were red

416
00:17:22,230 --> 00:17:19,919
and weren't flashing

417
00:17:23,990 --> 00:17:22,240
i was stunned to see another set of four

418
00:17:27,110 --> 00:17:24,000
lights appeared from what looked like

419
00:17:30,230 --> 00:17:27,120
roughly 50 feet away from the red

420
00:17:32,789 --> 00:17:30,240
hovering lights this third set of lights

421
00:17:35,029 --> 00:17:32,799
now were exactly the same as the first

422
00:17:35,990 --> 00:17:35,039
set of lights which now had left my line

423
00:17:38,950 --> 00:17:36,000
of vision

424
00:17:41,350 --> 00:17:38,960
a diamond formation too white too red

425
00:17:43,430 --> 00:17:41,360
and flashing slowly

426
00:17:45,909 --> 00:17:43,440
this formation appeared to come out of

427
00:17:48,470 --> 00:17:45,919
thin air as i had never seen it when i

428
00:17:51,350 --> 00:17:48,480
noticed the four red hovering lights

429
00:17:53,909 --> 00:17:51,360
so this whole new set of lights i had

430
00:17:56,630 --> 00:17:53,919
noticed were now moving in the same slow

431
00:17:58,789 --> 00:17:56,640
manner as the original lights

432
00:18:01,669 --> 00:17:58,799
and then they began to hover and slowly

433
00:18:03,270 --> 00:18:01,679
move as if they were following lights

434
00:18:05,270 --> 00:18:03,280
close by

435
00:18:07,750 --> 00:18:05,280
as i began to follow these lights

436
00:18:09,830 --> 00:18:07,760
following the lights two of the red

437
00:18:11,990 --> 00:18:09,840
lights changed to white so now it had

438
00:18:14,710 --> 00:18:12,000
the same appearance as the original two

439
00:18:16,310 --> 00:18:14,720
objects or crafts or whatever these

440
00:18:18,470 --> 00:18:16,320
things were

441
00:18:20,710 --> 00:18:18,480
at this point my heart rate was

442
00:18:22,870 --> 00:18:20,720
increasing as i knew i was witnessing

443
00:18:24,390 --> 00:18:22,880
something highly unusual

444
00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:24,400
i ran into my bedroom to get my

445
00:18:27,909 --> 00:18:26,240
girlfriend who had just gone to bed to

446
00:18:29,270 --> 00:18:27,919
come out to the balcony and see what i

447
00:18:31,750 --> 00:18:29,280
was witnessing

448
00:18:34,310 --> 00:18:31,760
i have expected them all the lights to

449
00:18:37,110 --> 00:18:34,320
have gone when we came back out but they

450
00:18:38,230 --> 00:18:37,120
were both there and still moving very

451
00:18:40,710 --> 00:18:38,240
slowly

452
00:18:43,029 --> 00:18:40,720
we both watched as the set of lights

453
00:18:45,909 --> 00:18:43,039
which seemed to be getting followed

454
00:18:48,470 --> 00:18:45,919
changed direction from north to south

455
00:18:50,710 --> 00:18:48,480
almost as though it was circling behind

456
00:18:52,870 --> 00:18:50,720
the other set of lights

457
00:18:56,150 --> 00:18:52,880
we watched it as it slowly circled

458
00:18:58,070 --> 00:18:56,160
around and i'm unsure about this part

459
00:19:00,950 --> 00:18:58,080
whether it was because it was now facing

460
00:19:02,870 --> 00:19:00,960
us at a different angle but its four

461
00:19:05,270 --> 00:19:02,880
lights were now white and suddenly two

462
00:19:07,510 --> 00:19:05,280
of those lights became brighter almost

463
00:19:08,870 --> 00:19:07,520
like searchlights like helicopter

464
00:19:11,029 --> 00:19:08,880
searchlights

465
00:19:13,029 --> 00:19:11,039
it wasn't a helicopter though as these

466
00:19:15,270 --> 00:19:13,039
two bright lights didn't give off any

467
00:19:16,950 --> 00:19:15,280
sort of beam the way a helicopter

468
00:19:20,390 --> 00:19:16,960
searchlight would

469
00:19:22,390 --> 00:19:20,400
this was all done in complete silence

470
00:19:24,549 --> 00:19:22,400
they then seemed to be carrying on with

471
00:19:26,789 --> 00:19:24,559
that northerly direction that the first

472
00:19:29,190 --> 00:19:26,799
set of lights took and they seemed to

473
00:19:31,750 --> 00:19:29,200
fade in front of our eyes until they

474
00:19:33,270 --> 00:19:31,760
simply looked like a single point of

475
00:19:36,549 --> 00:19:33,280
white light

476
00:19:39,830 --> 00:19:36,559
as we watched this i then saw what i can

477
00:19:42,230 --> 00:19:39,840
only describe as a white flash it came

478
00:19:44,710 --> 00:19:42,240
flying down towards the trees just

479
00:19:47,350 --> 00:19:44,720
around our house it came in at a 45

480
00:19:49,029 --> 00:19:47,360
degree angle it had a white trail of

481
00:19:51,190 --> 00:19:49,039
light behind it

482
00:19:53,590 --> 00:19:51,200
as it got close enough to the tree where

483
00:19:55,590 --> 00:19:53,600
it looked like it might hit that tree it

484
00:19:59,270 --> 00:19:55,600
completely vanished

485
00:20:00,470 --> 00:19:59,280
it also made no sound whatsoever

486
00:20:03,430 --> 00:20:00,480
at this point

487
00:20:05,029 --> 00:20:03,440
my excitement turned slightly to anxiety

488
00:20:07,669 --> 00:20:05,039
as i was witnessing not only what

489
00:20:10,070 --> 00:20:07,679
appeared to be three ufos but now they

490
00:20:11,750 --> 00:20:10,080
seemed they were firing something from

491
00:20:13,430 --> 00:20:11,760
their craft

492
00:20:17,110 --> 00:20:13,440
i don't know if this was some sort of

493
00:20:18,710 --> 00:20:17,120
flare laser or something else but i'm

494
00:20:20,950 --> 00:20:18,720
certain that it came from the original

495
00:20:23,430 --> 00:20:20,960
set of lights i saw the ones that had

496
00:20:26,070 --> 00:20:23,440
disappeared from our view

497
00:20:28,149 --> 00:20:26,080
this was one of the most exciting and

498
00:20:30,789 --> 00:20:28,159
scary things i've ever seen

499
00:20:33,830 --> 00:20:30,799
it leaves me in no doubt that we are

500
00:20:35,590 --> 00:20:33,840
definitely not alone

501
00:20:38,070 --> 00:20:35,600
interesting that changing set of

502
00:20:40,789 --> 00:20:38,080
emotions from excitement to something

503
00:20:42,149 --> 00:20:40,799
close to anxiety it's that unknown

504
00:20:45,270 --> 00:20:42,159
quotient

505
00:20:48,070 --> 00:20:45,280
let's cross a lot of water now and hover

506
00:20:50,630 --> 00:20:48,080
over the city of o'fallon state of

507
00:20:53,750 --> 00:20:50,640
missouri in the united states move on

508
00:20:57,830 --> 00:20:53,760
case number 85765

509
00:21:01,590 --> 00:20:57,840
the date of this event is 8 8 2017. it

510
00:21:05,510 --> 00:21:01,600
was submitted 8 9 2017

511
00:21:06,549 --> 00:21:05,520
summary stationary white pulsating light

512
00:21:08,149 --> 00:21:06,559
bright

513
00:21:10,310 --> 00:21:08,159
looked like a star

514
00:21:12,549 --> 00:21:10,320
but moving

515
00:21:14,710 --> 00:21:12,559
viewing distance here is over a mile the

516
00:21:17,350 --> 00:21:14,720
altitude is unknown the sighting

517
00:21:19,510 --> 00:21:17,360
duration was 20 minutes

518
00:21:22,070 --> 00:21:19,520
well you guessed it the object features

519
00:21:24,390 --> 00:21:22,080
in spite of that nice chunk of time

520
00:21:27,029 --> 00:21:24,400
they're simply listed as unknown

521
00:21:29,430 --> 00:21:27,039
the object flight path a hovering then

522
00:21:32,950 --> 00:21:29,440
path and then path with directional

523
00:21:35,029 --> 00:21:32,960
change and then path with more hovering

524
00:21:38,149 --> 00:21:35,039
and the shape of this object is reported

525
00:21:40,070 --> 00:21:38,159
to have been star-like weather-wise over

526
00:21:43,270 --> 00:21:40,080
o'fallon missouri the maximum

527
00:21:46,630 --> 00:21:43,280

530
00:21:53,430 --> 00:21:51,200
nothing extraordinary about the

visibility factors the maximum

532
00:21:58,390 --> 00:21:56,960
visibility 10 miles 16 kilometers and

533
00:22:02,149 --> 00:21:58,400
there isn't any minimum

534
00:22:04,549 --> 00:22:02,159
listed because it was rather foggy

535
00:22:07,590 --> 00:22:04,559
here's what happened

536
00:22:10,149 --> 00:22:07,600
i put out my dogs at around 9 30 p.m if

537
00:22:13,190 --> 00:22:10,159
the night is clear i look up at the

538
00:22:16,070 --> 00:22:13,200
evening sky this night my attention was

539
00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:16,080
drawn to a white flash of light to my

540
00:22:18,630 --> 00:22:17,120
right

541
00:22:20,070 --> 00:22:18,640
at first i thought it might have been a

542
00:22:22,549 --> 00:22:20,080
blinking star

543
00:22:25,270 --> 00:22:22,559
airplane lights helicopter

544
00:22:27,590 --> 00:22:25,280
it was none of these i kept focused on

545
00:22:28,470 --> 00:22:27,600
the spot of the sky where i saw the

546
00:22:32,230 --> 00:22:28,480
light

547
00:22:34,310 --> 00:22:32,240
around 10 seconds later it flashed again

548
00:22:36,630 --> 00:22:34,320
the best description i can give it was

549
00:22:39,190 --> 00:22:36,640
like someone turning on a flashlight in

550
00:22:40,789 --> 00:22:39,200
the sky then turning it off

551
00:22:43,430 --> 00:22:40,799
it was that bright

552
00:22:46,870 --> 00:22:43,440
and it repeated itself around 15 seconds

553
00:22:49,029 --> 00:22:46,880
later same spot no movement

554
00:22:51,029 --> 00:22:49,039
i usually go outside with a flashlight

555
00:22:52,870 --> 00:22:51,039
to make sure my dogs don't stray too far

556
00:22:56,470 --> 00:22:52,880
away so

557
00:22:59,430 --> 00:22:56,480
i decided to flash it with my flashlight

558
00:23:02,390 --> 00:22:59,440
when i did it immediately responded i

559
00:23:04,149 --> 00:23:02,400
did this a number of times and each time

560
00:23:07,029 --> 00:23:04,159
it responded

561
00:23:09,510 --> 00:23:07,039
to test my assumption i stopped flashing

562
00:23:12,549 --> 00:23:09,520
signaling with my flashlight

563
00:23:14,870 --> 00:23:12,559
it would not respond at that point but

564
00:23:16,789 --> 00:23:14,880
it would then flash every 15 to 20

565
00:23:19,430 --> 00:23:16,799
seconds on its own

566
00:23:21,510 --> 00:23:19,440
and i should point out it made no sound

567
00:23:24,390 --> 00:23:21,520
i had a strong sense this object was

568
00:23:27,110 --> 00:23:24,400
really high in the sky

569
00:23:29,350 --> 00:23:27,120
to further test my conclusions i asked

570
00:23:30,710 --> 00:23:29,360
my wife to come outside and see what i

571
00:23:33,669 --> 00:23:30,720
was seeing

572
00:23:35,590 --> 00:23:33,679
she was surprised to see that every time

573
00:23:38,149 --> 00:23:35,600
i would signal with my flashlight this

574
00:23:41,510 --> 00:23:38,159
object would reply to the point where it

575
00:23:43,190 --> 00:23:41,520
made her nervous she asked me to stop

576
00:23:45,909 --> 00:23:43,200
i should also point out the object was

577
00:23:47,830 --> 00:23:45,919
stationary during this event and not

578
00:23:50,070 --> 00:23:47,840
visible to the eye

579
00:23:51,990 --> 00:23:50,080
you could only sense its shape when it

580
00:23:54,710 --> 00:23:52,000
flashed that white light

581
00:23:57,110 --> 00:23:54,720
the size of this by the way was bigger

582
00:24:00,230 --> 00:23:57,120
than the biggest star in the sky

583
00:24:02,549 --> 00:24:00,240
my guess four or five times bigger

584
00:24:05,270 --> 00:24:02,559
this object was clearly very high in the

585
00:24:06,630 --> 00:24:05,280
sky since i could see aircraft fly

586
00:24:08,470 --> 00:24:06,640
beneath it

587
00:24:11,190 --> 00:24:08,480
between the flashes near the end of the

588
00:24:13,510 --> 00:24:11,200
event i could tell that this object had

589
00:24:16,830 --> 00:24:13,520
changed position in the sky between

590
00:24:19,990 --> 00:24:16,840
flashes it was moving east but very

591
00:24:21,830 --> 00:24:20,000
slowly and then it disappeared it

592
00:24:24,870 --> 00:24:21,840
stopped flashing

593
00:24:26,789 --> 00:24:24,880
this event lasted roughly 20 minutes

594
00:24:30,310 --> 00:24:26,799
unfortunately by the time i decided to

595
00:24:31,350 --> 00:24:30,320
take video with my phone the object had

596
00:24:33,110 --> 00:24:31,360
left

597
00:24:35,750 --> 00:24:33,120
oh classic

598
00:24:38,950 --> 00:24:35,760
sometimes one's brain is trying to wrap

599
00:24:40,070 --> 00:24:38,960
around what the eyes are seeing and

600
00:24:42,630 --> 00:24:40,080
conveying

601
00:24:44,390 --> 00:24:42,640
that moment of oh i gotta get my camera

602
00:24:47,029 --> 00:24:44,400
just goes

603
00:24:49,269 --> 00:24:47,039
well we've gotta go because

604
00:24:51,669 --> 00:24:49,279
that's a wrap thank you for listening to
