Dear List,

I received the following error message when I tried to email a
reply VideoMeister. He/She had emailed me with a response to my
query on the vertical/horizontal grid of CCD receptors in a
video camera that may account for some image anomoly. His/Her
message to me is printed below the error message and appears of
interest to people. It does, however make me ask, still, whether
the possibly relatively motionless (to the CCD) image of the UFO
should have shown any smear at all (sorry- graphics just isn't
my thing).

Is anyone able to confirm a correct email address for the
VideoMeister?

VideoMeister Message:-

Your concern about the relative edge sharpness of the UFO and
buildings is a good point. To control for this, I checked
against both the nearby building and a far one (with the
triangular shape). The UFO edge sharpness is intermediate
between the nearby and far buildings. Both buildings showed
motion-smearing; the far one showed more, as expected from
theory. (The reason is complicated, having to do with stochastic
noise, digitizing, and thresholds.)

So I eliminated edge-contrast as a possibility for creating the
UFO lack of smearing.
