Hi again B. J.,
Well, after reading the Knapp report of the sightings above Las Vegas, it's a familiar object to me also. These "things" (I call them White Wisps), I capture every month but only during the first quarter phase of the Moon are probably the weirdest yet. Enhanced, mine are round and resemble a translucent "Death Star". I wanted a witness and had a friend stand next to the scope with binoculars. I would signal him when I saw one on the screen. He didn't see anything with or without the binoculars. Then I took a turn with the binoculars with the same results, seeing nothing. We wanted to eliminate common earthly objects such as our flying spider phenomenon, feathers from flying fighting seagulls (I live on the coast), seed spores (some are fluffy like the Dandelion), bird nesting material etc. And we can honestly say we think we did that.
So, these are at a very high altitude to be reflecting the sunlight at night. And we could only see them through the scope. Possibly they are outside the atmosphere. You'll notice these three in the same clip are at different distances, going at different speeds and different directions, eliminating anything floating with the wind. The first one is very fast and you don't see it until the speed is slowed to 1/10 in the last segment. After enhancing the contrast and color, they show up better. Here is the sequence: First pass in original settings and speed. Second, enhanced in normal speed. Third, enhanced at 1/4 speed. Fourth, enhanced at 1/10 speed. I've included a PhotoShop auto color variation. I have more clips at my site: http://www.boomslanger.com/wisp.htm Anybody else see these things? Thanks, Jack Santa Cruz,CA
