Anomaly's recorded in Night Vision

Between the IUFO members, there have been two night vision recordings made now of an unusual anomoly in space close to a bright Star.

Mine was the first on Sep 28th 2016 at Approx. 8:46 PM. And took approx. 2 minutes to pass.

and just recently Ufo Joe's October 7th 2017 at 12:41 Am. Which took approx. 6 minutes to pass.

These are not reflections from the Star itself nor are they water droplets on the camera lens or the NV tube input or output window as I have proved in my own water debunk test.

About my video (Brian Paton)

My object slowly increases in brightness next to the Star Nunki.

It's not a spherical shape, more like a gas emission of some sort. IMO.

It then appears to curve around the Star and move very slowly upwards.

You can see the Earth's movement by the way the Stars move downwards.

But this object is moving in the opposite direction, It wasn't stationary.

After posting on facebook.

Dave initially blamed "water on the lens" reflecting the Star Nunki in my case.

Dave Greg ( dazzathecameraman) yt debunker couldn't find any satellites or R/B's (rocket body's) near my recording at that precise time. Dave's facebook friend Ravi Jagtiani did an extensive search through his member part of a sat tracking program with null results also..

Here is my video and my water debunk test video

And the water test video.

About Ufo Joe's video.

In Joe's video we see a similar increase in brightness then a very slow movement to the left of screen while the Stars are moving (Earth rotation) up.

Joe's object moves either across the face or behind the Star Aldebaran. Yet to be proven which way.

The brighness of the Star and the object appeared to "blend" together as it passed. Possibly an IR anomolly where it appears two bright objects are interacting with each other.

After passing the Star, it then starts to fade out and dissapear.

I asked Joe if the object was seen before or after again in case it was a tumbling piece of space junk as mention by Dave on Facebook.

Joe said "no , only saw it this once"

Six minutes is a long time for space junk to appear and pass then dissapear.

Even geosynchronous satellite's wouldn't make an appearance and then bugger off! They usually flash at intermittent times.

So after Joe posted his video on facebook once again Dave got involved.

I'll let Joe explain that outcome. But basically Dave tried to say it was a R/B , but the dates and time didn't match.

I guess he can't blame water on the lens this time.

Here is Ufo Joe's video.

I'm posting this here as an investigation and also as a recorded record for future reference.

Members input greatly appreciated. :)

Thanks. BP.

How very strange BP, could it be an anomaly within the lens? A small amount of lens flare maybe? Would that anomaly exist without the star being in shot where it was? I know with the 50mm slr lenses things can get a bit distorted on the outer edges of the lens sometimes. Water droplets don't usually create that effect either, more of a blob.

Joe's vid... what could that be? I definitely haven't seen anything move that slow before and well done for spotting that hawk eye! It's hardly moving. It's defiantly up there and reflecting or emitting a lot of light. what time was this captured? It's a difficult one. :/

Excellent investigation Brian. : o)

Thanks all for answering.

Joe's was at 12:45am. He lives in Sweden. So I'm not sure what time the sun sets up there :) Hopefully he'll answer for you.

My video was not a reflection or flare of the lens otherwise I'd be getting anomaly's every time I pointed up which I don't unless a very bright Star drifts off the edge of the screen. I'll do an example of that shortly.

But as you would know Darren, after years of looking at nv video you've recorded, you'd know what was "normal" or not.

And to me this was not normal. My lens is a 50mm wide angle to cs size, or cctv size into an adapter I made for the nv tube.

And I always set my camcorder to manual settings.

This was the only flareup (whatever you call it) for that set of recordings for that night, approx. 3.5 to 4 hrs in the same sky area.

Tube set up seen below.

PS. Meteors. comets and Star flares whatever you call them have been dismissed also.

Apparently, they all happen over a much longer period of time according to astrologists. They begin quickly, but take hrs if not days to disperse.

And although that particular area in the sky where mine happened called "Sagittarius" is very active for comets, mine in particular is not.

Not sure which sky area Joe's was in. I could find out but I'm hoping for his input too :).

Thanks again.

BP.

Cheers Brian... I'll gonna be filming again soon, I just need a new HD camcorder after my old one died. I don't really want to be hanging my scope off the end end of my P900! Yesterday, I crudely knocked together a gen 2 scope which seems pretty good that I want to try out. Not bad anyway for £150. Almost on par with the cascade.

Yes Darren, I know the weight would be a huge problem lol. I've decided to upgrade as well. Just waiting for my new sony a7s and then I'll get Chris (horsefarmer1000) to build me a gen3 and adapter for my telescope. Then I can be like JLW :) (joke)

Then I'll remove the ir cut filter from my p900 and give that a try.

So hopefully I can catch these buggers!. Cheers.

Well here is another interesting video. And it's mine :)

I think we may be looking at lens reflection here. Not so much a flare as such.

There always seems to be a very bright Star in the view. I usually avoid recording the big one's, My screen always goes a urine colour when one of them is in the field of view. But sometimes they drift into my space. Watch the whole video, I do a zoom near the end. :)

Did you notice this at the time? I do a test to see if I have lens flare, I move the cam in a circular motion.

No I didn't Mr G. This is one of my old old recordings from mid 2016 I'm slowly looking through. It wouldn't be from the camera. Probably from the nv lens on the input window end.

Hi there skywatchers :)

I thought I tell you a bit about what my thoughts are on this one.

I thought about lens flare but the shape is not elongated as it should be for a lens flare close to the edge of the lens. I've seen that around another star in my latest video and I know now what they look like . Satellite? No!!! It has been looked into, and when the data was loaded everything moved right out of there. Debris? My personal opinion is that a rocket body doesn't get that bright, you can see them but they're not so bright.

Asteroid ? Could be,but I'm not sure.

Cheers
