Amazing….simply amazing…I posted a question about this video to another article (the one about the software used) asking what the heck this thing was. I must admit…It did cross my mind that it was perhaps 2 different objects which simply overlapped….but I thought this such an unlikely explanation that I didnt even mention it!!! LOL! now I wish I had!!! My other explanations, (which I admitted seemed wrong) were hot gasses escaping from the meteor, or that had a series of small explosions rather than one large one, which changed its trajectory (I dont think I went into all that detail, simply calling it an un-uniformed explosion, or words to that effect) But the truth…wow! Simply Amazing!!! This is an even cooler illusion than the so called “anti-gravity” helicopter that Im sure most of you have seen on YouTube, where the frame rate of the video matches the rotation of the rotor perfectly making the illusion that the blade is completely still while the heli is flying. Thank you so much for posting this!

Hi there,

We “worked” on this video and we came to the same conclusion but we did not know that
other cameras captured the event (meteor). Now, we know for a fact (with empirical data) that it was not due to a pyrotechnical device or two insects together (Odonates or Lampyris noctiluca)

Here is an email I got from the IMO webmaster :

I (also as an amateur astronomer) think you’re right… On the
compound picture you can see the path of the “insect” continue
downward, while the meteor appears in a nice and straight line.

If meteors could be drunk, I think they’d look like this though…
Seeing that with still a bit of a hangover from the newyear’s
celebrations is a bit confusing

Cheers,

Oh by the way, great website
Cheers from France.

Buck the wild.

I did link Bunnel’s site, which defends an anomaly in the Marfa Lights.

This is indeed a one in a million shot, Joseph. Now, how many photos are captured every day? More than a million, I suspect.

But if you read the post, I didn’t propose we discard everything resorting to amazingly improbable coincidences.

I simply advanced this example as a beautiful reminder that “sometimes ordinary things get caught in extraordinary circumstances”. Even insects.

You guys made me laugh. You catch this one in a million shot and tout it out as a prime example of how we could get fooled. God that’s what we have to worry about people shooting flies and meteors together.

What a disgrace to the thousands of professionals who have witnessed UFOs and had detailed sightings of craft. It was nothing like what I saw they were in the daytime I was with friend and they were flying saucers. So play with you lights in the sky folks. But you’ll miss the train.
There is absolutely nothing extraordinary about technologically intelligent species… us …a Space Faring species us…a star aiming species…us. So examine like anything else which is…very very possible. You might have link to Ted Phillips and the MUFON team investigating the Marfa lights and catching unbelievable images of lights that are still a mystery and act intelligent. Thanks though for giving me a nice chuckle before I went to sleep.
