1 00:00:05,110 --> 00:00:02,890 the gimble UFO video is one of the most 2 00:00:07,269 --> 00:00:05,120 famous UFO videos in recent years we've 3 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:07,279 made TV shows and countless discussions 4 00:00:11,740 --> 00:00:09,650 online it's a cool video app here to 5 00:00:13,690 --> 00:00:11,750 show a saucer-shaped craft with strange 6 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:13,700 aura flying a high speed and then 7 00:00:17,620 --> 00:00:16,010 rotating in a way that amazes the pilots 8 00:00:19,179 --> 00:00:17,630 watching right from the start I thought 9 00:00:20,829 --> 00:00:19,189 this shows an infrared glare of a 10 00:00:22,269 --> 00:00:20,839 distant plane rotating not because the 11 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:22,279 plane is rotating but because of an 12 00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:23,810 artifact at the camera gimbal system 13 00:00:27,909 --> 00:00:25,369 which is why then they became the pity 14 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:27,919 of the name gimbal on meta bone we 15 00:00:31,450 --> 00:00:29,210 gathered a lot of evidence to support 16 00:00:33,430 --> 00:00:31,460 this we showed that glares can rotate 17 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:33,440 independently of the image when tracked 18 00:00:37,209 --> 00:00:35,210 on a gimbal camera we showed that the 19 00:00:39,310 --> 00:00:37,219 aura was just a common infrared artifact 20 00:00:40,930 --> 00:00:39,320 we showed that the target need not be 21 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:40,940 moving very fast as the motion of the 22 00:00:44,799 --> 00:00:42,370 background which is parallax 23 00:00:46,810 --> 00:00:44,809 but one thing eluded us the 24 00:00:49,389 --> 00:00:46,820 saucer-shaped glare on a comparable 25 00:00:50,650 --> 00:00:49,399 infrared camera I gave it a go with a 26 00:00:52,509 --> 00:00:50,660 little camera I had and got something 27 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:52,519 similar but infrared videos of distant 28 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:54,530 jets and not that common and tend to 29 00:00:58,720 --> 00:00:55,690 just show blobs 30 00:01:00,729 --> 00:00:58,730 but finally we've got a good example of 31 00:01:02,799 --> 00:01:00,739 a similar shape thanks to Dave Fletch 32 00:01:04,359 --> 00:01:02,809 dave has been looking into this for a 33 00:01:06,310 --> 00:01:04,369 while trying to duplicate the effects 34 00:01:08,499 --> 00:01:06,320 using flew equipment very similar to 35 00:01:09,850 --> 00:01:08,509 that used in the gimbal video one of the 36 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:09,860 last videos he put up shows him 37 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:11,329 following a small jet and when he 38 00:01:15,940 --> 00:01:13,490 switches to infrared we get this shape a 39 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:15,950 saucer shape with protrusions similar to 40 00:01:19,870 --> 00:01:18,170 the gimbal shape to get the shape you 41 00:01:22,060 --> 00:01:19,880 just have to notice the focus slightly 42 00:01:23,679 --> 00:01:22,070 the shape seemed to be a result of 43 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:23,689 diffraction effects along a light path 44 00:01:27,310 --> 00:01:25,250 of the camera so what related to bokeh 45 00:01:29,410 --> 00:01:27,320 you can see this diffraction in play as 46 00:01:31,300 --> 00:01:29,420 it goes through the trees and of course 47 00:01:33,700 --> 00:01:31,310 the shape of the infrared glare looks 48 00:01:35,170 --> 00:01:33,710 nothing like the actual plane so now 49 00:01:36,910 --> 00:01:35,180 we've got all the pieces we know the 50 00:01:39,190 --> 00:01:36,920 apparent motion of a plane relative for 51 00:01:40,539 --> 00:01:39,200 clouds could just be a parallax we know 52 00:01:42,069 --> 00:01:40,549 the glow is just something that happens 53 00:01:43,359 --> 00:01:42,079 around infrared glare we know that 54 00:01:46,359 --> 00:01:43,369 infrared glare can rotate independently 55 00:01:48,039 --> 00:01:46,369 of the view and a gimbal system and now 56 00:01:50,889 --> 00:01:48,049 we know the glare can look like a saucer 57 00:01:53,289 --> 00:01:50,899 with some spikes so as it solved not 58 00:01:55,090 --> 00:01:53,299 100% but we do have a very reasonable 59 00:01:56,679 --> 00:01:55,100 explanation for what the pilot saw and
