00:00:04,430 --> 00:00:02,300
over the last few years there's been

2
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:04,440
several UFO videos that look like

3
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:07,290
something zipping by a drone some people

4
00:00:11,540 --> 00:00:09,690
interpreted these as large fast alien

5
00:00:14,330 --> 00:00:11,550
spacecraft but I think these are

6
00:00:16,070 --> 00:00:14,340
actually very small slower objects my

7
00:00:17,870 --> 00:00:16,080
Birds are insects that are quite close

8
00:00:19,460 --> 00:00:17,880
to the camera and they just look big um

9
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:19,470
fast because we interpret them as being

10
00:00:25,939 --> 00:00:24,210
far away I call them drones it buys some

11
00:00:27,529 --> 00:00:25,949
people have done computer simulations to

12
00:00:29,540 --> 00:00:27,539
show how this illusion can happen and I

13
00:00:31,220 --> 00:00:29,550
plan to do some myself later but I

14
00:00:33,799 --> 00:00:31,230
always like to do a physical recreation

15
00:00:35,299 --> 00:00:33,809
if possible I don't have a drone so I

16
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:35,309
started out by throwing rocks at my

17
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:37,050
camera and then from behind the camera

18
00:00:42,350 --> 00:00:39,090
neither of these were very useful as the

19
00:00:44,690 --> 00:00:42,360
motion was mostly vertical next I tried

20
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:44,700
throwing a paper plane at my camera it

21
00:00:47,869 --> 00:00:46,530
was really hard to get close so I

22
00:00:53,230 --> 00:00:47,879
switched to the other side after a few

23
00:00:57,940 --> 00:00:56,080
I played it in reverse and then sped it

24
00:01:01,140 --> 00:00:57,950
up to typical drone speed I then

25
00:01:03,550 --> 00:01:01,150
compared it against the Utah video

26
00:01:05,110 --> 00:01:03,560
wanting more control I tied some fishing

27
00:01:07,630 --> 00:01:05,120
line to my gate post and then to my

28
00:01:10,030 --> 00:01:07,640
fence below and I made a UFO out of some

29
00:01:12,490 --> 00:01:10,040
car than a pen tube this slid down the

30
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:12,500
line at about seven miles an hour I was

31
00:01:16,690 --> 00:01:13,850
able to get it fairly consistently

32
00:01:18,609 --> 00:01:16,700
flying by the camera has sped it up to

33
00:01:19,900 --> 00:01:18,619
28 miles an hour and it's not a bad

34
00:01:22,390 --> 00:01:19,910
match for the Utah video

35
00:01:28,370 --> 00:01:22,400
I just did the angle as close as I could

36
00:01:32,420 --> 00:01:30,440
I wanted to try moving the camera and

37
00:01:34,490 --> 00:01:32,430
sit at the object so I got on my bike

38
00:01:36,490 --> 00:01:34,500
holding my phone and pedaled towards a

39
00:01:39,140 --> 00:01:36,500
small UFO hanging from a tree

40
00:01:40,609 --> 00:01:39,150
unfortunately it's a bit hard to see he

41
00:01:43,969 --> 00:01:40,619
kind of matches it with the Utah video

42
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:43,979
in parts but so far my zipline
