- HBCC UFO Research Note: The footage of this Mysterious
Object can be seen at the link near the bottom of this report. Good
Day Brian! This sighting comes two days after a large object was
captured on video and observed for 20 minutes with it finally exploding
(or possibly imploding) and sending a shower of glowing debris back downward
towards earth. If the reader hasn't had a chance to read and or view this
amazing and compelling footage it's located here: http://www.hbccufo.org/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=3766
There are many people involved in analyzing and providing input
for this captured object, I'd like to say a hearty "thank you"
to all of them for attempting to help me solve my query as to what this
object is, or what it might be. This video submitted to HBCC UFO RESEARCH
is in a 640x480 resolution in a mpeg1 format and is less than 3mb big.
The first portion is the original size, the second is digitally zoomed
200%. Also included in this prelimanary analysis package are several frames
in various filtered forms, a researchers conceptual sketch of the object,
and a graphic representing the cameras POV (point of view) of the object.
DATE of Capture: Jan. 20th, (exactly 2 days and 25 minutes
after a exploding or imploding object was taped).
-
- TIME: 4:53pm (PST)
-
- LOCATION: Near Sonora, California
-
- OBJECT TYPE: Unknown possibly Crescent/Triangle/Experimental
(conjecture/guess)
-
- OBJECT COLOR: Luminous white, and occasionally
a black top or dark side surface being visible
-
- OBJECT SIZE: Comparative to a small to mid-size
20 seat corporate jet from my POV (guessing)
-
- DISTANCE to OBJECT: 1.0-2.0 miles (guessing, as
there was nothing to compare it against IE: clouds, trees, etc.)
-
- SPEED: Variable, slow moving at perhaps 40-60 mph
(or slower), then accelerating to 120-150mph or faster (guessing)
-
- SOUND: Normal everyday type ambient noise, no sound
was noticed emitting from the object
-
- TRAJECTORY: Heading North-NorthWest and at a drastic
sideways/downward angle
-
- SIGHTING DURATION: almost 2 minutes
-
- WITNESSES: One (myself)
-
- POV: Almost directly overhead, slightly to the
east of the Cameraman
-
- WEATHER: Clear skies, no wind. No other air traffic
visible
-
- ANALYZERS: Myself (Johnny Anonymous), "Lawwalk"
(Kaufman, Texas) and Darron Forehand (aka "Grounded",
- Lake O' The Pines,Texas ), Dr. Mark Olson DM, Sonora
California (www.SonoraSightings.com). Others that are (now or once were)
specialized in the photo and video medium were also consulted.
-
- ANALYSIS SUMMARY: Indeterminate and currently still
ongoing
-
- Did I tape a Plane?
-
- This object was almost directly overhead, one would
think there would be some form of wing structure (if one did indeed exist).
Slow moving at first (so slow a conventional craft would fall out of the
sky), and increased in speed as it departed. Several other problems we
had in examining this,, One was the focus.. I've been shooting with cameras
all my life, I've always been a "manual-focus" kind of guy (hate
anything auto-focus). Regardless of what I did to compensate, I could not
get any detail and proper focus on this object. And the craft was 2 to
3 times closer than what I normally photograph or tape with good focus/detail
and was shot with no digitalzoom, this was an "optical" capture.
Regardless of digital filters, exposure, speed and other modes being
engaged, I could not get this object to focus in range. My lenses
were clean as that is a habit of mine to do even if I don't shoot
anything. Whether it was a distortion field, holography, propulsional
phasing or yes,,,, even cameraman's error, I could not get this object
to sharpen or focus. This for a longtime photographer and onetime broadcast
videographer is proving extremely frustrating to handle.
-
- So What Is IT?
-
- Many hours and online round table discussions have proved
very interesting in the deciphering as to the "group type" this
craft might fall under. Keeping the report brief, I've broken down just
a few of their comments of the more obvious features surrounding this craft's
appearance, shape and trajectory. These are solely personal thoughts of
the group being shared and not based or backed by any sound legitimate
scientific data or "real" physical explanations.
-
- An analyzer commented on the rounded smooth edges which
gives strength to the Saucer or Crescent shape theory.
-
- One Researcher suggested that it looked like a curved
upward "Bicycle Handlebar" shape. Another pointed out that the
right angle "wall" sides appeared flat which is consistent with
a triangle. I myself thought that it might resemble something perhaps like
a flying "Horseshoe" at an extremely dipped angle with the center
filled in with a dark/black "whatever". Perhaps its a experimental
or black ops craft, maybe it's just an airplane. The conjuncture ran amok!
-
- Another problem we had on this was the angle. When I
first saw this, I thought I was seeing a cigar or cylindrical shaped object
by the naked eye. But under & thru the cameras lens it is something
else. If this were a plane, how could it maintain such a sharp angle
of assumed descent, maintaining this angle without actually descending?
-
- It's position and angle almost suggests that it was going
to perform a trajectory turn and was beginning a steep bank. What are these
black sections that are on top and/or side and at times around the edges?
We know enough about pixelization and artifacts and anomalies created between
light and dark, and also what a digital camera can create, but this appears
to be something else as the white balance and gamma are consistent thru-out
the taped capture. Speed was another concern. How can a craft maintain
lift at an extremely slow speed with no noticeable sound and at such a
steep angle and not come crashing down? Yes there are "VTOL"
type craft that can perform vertical takeoffs and hover almost motionless
in an area, but not only are they loud, but they can't sustain it's position
at an angle. And this angle never changed even as the speed increased.
An interesting note is that with the increase in speed the more distorted
and blurry the object became. In the last bit of taping, it was viewed
solely as a fuzzy luminous blob.
-
- Were perplexed as this one does not fall into a normal
classification. So whether it's a crescent, a triangle, a saucer, or a
experimental man-made craft, in the end we really don't know and have even
more questions than we do answers.
-
- Did I just catch a plane in a weird form of sun/light
bandwidth distorting the view? As a researcher/investigator I have
to give the same scale of probability to every conceivable and plausible
possibility.
-
- Anyway, we submit this curiosity for everyone to make
their own conclusions because we simply can't at this time.
- My thanks to everyone that participated in trying to
identify this object, and a special thanks to Darron Forehand for his graphical
concept representation of this object.
