1 00:00:05,780 --> 00:00:02,419 so this video here has been suggested 2 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:05,790 that it's some kind of flying craft high 3 00:00:12,020 --> 00:00:08,730 above clouds now I think the more likely 4 00:00:14,419 --> 00:00:12,030 explanation is it's just a V of flying 5 00:00:17,180 --> 00:00:14,429 birds that's actually below the clouds a 6 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:17,190 problem with that explanation is why 7 00:00:21,109 --> 00:00:18,690 does it seem like it's going behind 8 00:00:22,820 --> 00:00:21,119 these dark areas here now these dark 9 00:00:25,340 --> 00:00:22,830 areas are actually open sky which 10 00:00:27,170 --> 00:00:25,350 appears as black because they're cold 11 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:27,180 the flying objects which I think are 12 00:00:31,730 --> 00:00:30,210 birds are heat sources so they appear as 13 00:00:34,340 --> 00:00:31,740 white dots and the clouds are also 14 00:00:37,220 --> 00:00:34,350 warmer than the the cold sky so they 15 00:00:38,990 --> 00:00:37,230 also appear as white so it kind of looks 16 00:00:40,940 --> 00:00:39,000 like it's going behind these which 17 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:40,950 doesn't make any sense some people 18 00:00:45,229 --> 00:00:43,410 suggested that it's projecting heat onto 19 00:00:47,750 --> 00:00:45,239 the clouds but I think it's actually 20 00:00:49,850 --> 00:00:47,760 below the clouds and I'll explain why I 21 00:00:51,619 --> 00:00:49,860 think that so what I'm going to trying 22 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:51,629 to do is try to kind of simulate what's 23 00:00:55,430 --> 00:00:53,850 going on here so I've taken this one 24 00:00:57,830 --> 00:00:55,440 frame of the video just so I get these 25 00:01:00,290 --> 00:00:57,840 clouds here and here's the vs with flown 26 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:00,300 by in it over some clouds I'm going to 27 00:01:07,429 --> 00:01:04,170 take this image here which is a V of 28 00:01:11,300 --> 00:01:07,439 some birds and I'm going to simulate it 29 00:01:13,490 --> 00:01:11,310 as infrared like this I'm going to add 30 00:01:16,700 --> 00:01:13,500 it to the image and I'm going to scale 31 00:01:21,710 --> 00:01:16,710 it so it's a similar size to the V we 32 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:21,720 see in the image like this similar kind 33 00:01:26,780 --> 00:01:25,170 of size and shape now this is a very 34 00:01:29,210 --> 00:01:26,790 sharp image and we can see this is a 35 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:29,220 very blurry image so what I'm going to 36 00:01:38,359 --> 00:01:35,250 do is apply a blur to it which I'll do 37 00:01:40,330 --> 00:01:38,369 here with a Gaussian blur and just 38 00:01:45,109 --> 00:01:40,340 adjust it until we get some kind of 39 00:01:49,550 --> 00:01:45,119 similar type of blurriness to the image 40 00:01:51,139 --> 00:01:49,560 there and you can see there's a lot of 41 00:01:52,399 --> 00:01:51,149 separation here between the dots which 42 00:01:54,410 --> 00:01:52,409 we don't see here which could be 43 00:01:56,749 --> 00:01:54,420 explained by the simply being more birds 44 00:02:00,080 --> 00:01:56,759 in this is image than in this image but 45 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:00,090 let's go with this now because we're 46 00:02:04,249 --> 00:02:01,770 just having sources of heat and it's 47 00:02:05,870 --> 00:02:04,259 blurred the best way of simulating how 48 00:02:06,700 --> 00:02:05,880 this will appear in the image is to use 49 00:02:09,550 --> 00:02:06,710 the 50 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:09,560 a linear dodge add filter which just 51 00:02:16,300 --> 00:02:13,970 adds brightness of the dots to the image 52 00:02:18,580 --> 00:02:16,310 and we can see the effects of this when 53 00:02:22,690 --> 00:02:18,590 we move it around if we move it over 54 00:02:24,729 --> 00:02:22,700 these darker areas here we see when the 55 00:02:26,350 --> 00:02:24,739 dots are blended in because they're 56 00:02:27,670 --> 00:02:26,360 adding their heat to the heat of the 57 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:27,680 background and because it's blurred 58 00:02:31,570 --> 00:02:29,810 they're essentially transparent what we 59 00:02:36,820 --> 00:02:31,580 get is when you go over the dark areas 60 00:02:39,759 --> 00:02:36,830 they look a lot darker now if we just 61 00:02:42,940 --> 00:02:39,769 reduce the opacity of this little bit we 62 00:02:46,030 --> 00:02:42,950 can see that we would see it looking 63 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:46,040 like these dots are moving behind the 64 00:02:50,020 --> 00:02:48,290 dark areas when they move over them when 65 00:02:51,430 --> 00:02:50,030 they move over the clouds it looks like 66 00:02:54,220 --> 00:02:51,440 they're moving in front of the clouds 67 00:02:57,580 --> 00:02:54,230 you can see them very faintly here but 68 00:02:59,500 --> 00:02:57,590 you can also see these dots quite 69 00:03:02,500 --> 00:02:59,510 faintly when they move over the dark 70 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:02,510 areas if we move back to that position 71 00:03:07,059 --> 00:03:05,090 and I turn on this adjustment level to 72 00:03:08,830 --> 00:03:07,069 brightness brighten the contrast you can 73 00:03:10,420 --> 00:03:08,840 see they're actually there they're 74 00:03:12,729 --> 00:03:10,430 actually moving through that dark area 75 00:03:13,870 --> 00:03:12,739 they're just a lot darker themselves so 76 00:03:16,930 --> 00:03:13,880 I think it's the same thing as it's 77 00:03:18,819 --> 00:03:16,940 going on here where this is moving over 78 00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:18,829 the dark area because it's adding its 79 00:03:22,750 --> 00:03:20,930 heat to the heat of the sky you're 80 00:03:24,100 --> 00:03:22,760 getting much darker dots and they're 81 00:03:27,340 --> 00:03:24,110 transparent again because they are
