I recently watched Courtney's Motorcycle Diaries.
Episode 1 was great - Courtney asked lots of questions and pondered life, videos, UFO's, & cloaking technologies, bugs and misidentification. All while out riding on his motorcycle.

So I wanted to add some things I found interesting on the web which, for me, might answer some questions, or at least propose some progress and faith that people are not saying what UFO's are - but they are saying what they are not - and with mathematics.

I am not a maths person - but I know there are plenty of people at Farsight who are, and you may find this interesting.

and here is a transcript Courtney talking - and the bit I am commenting on afterwards:

"Okay, so the big discovery we had so far is how to take videos of ufo’s. But even that people don't understand. Even we're still figuring it out, but the cloaking Tech of those ufo’s - they it's good - and it doesn't emit any light, so it took us a long while to figure out why we can take photos in the first place. What we're seeing is holes in the infrared background in the sky, so the whole photo thing doesn't even work at night. The whole sky has to be lit up with infrared. I have infrared on this mask here. Protection. I suppose. Mostly it's ultraviolet protection because I don't like the sun to hit me through the mask. This mask is supposed to cut out 95 percent of the ultraviolet. I don't know what it cuts out from the infrared, maybe nothing.

But anyway, okay, so there's a weakness in the cloaking tech. What happens is (moving all right) - so what happens is where we're not actually seeing the ufo’s, the infrared is coming from the background of the sky and the ufo’s cannot cloak themselves to that, because the directions that people look at the ufo’s go through different atmosphere situations - it's no matter what direction it is - and the ufo’s can't mask themselves from all those different directions. So, what we're seeing, we're seeing holes in the sky where the ufo’s are. So, it's like, it's like you have a background and you can see the outline of the thing that's moving, so you can see the size and the speed and the shape, but we're not actually seeing the skin of the ufo’s, we're seeing... it's like a shadow against the infrared background of the sky. So that means taking pictures, videos, at night at these ufo’s is probably going to be impossible, but in the daytime it's as easy as day.

But it's still good because it shows us how many of them there are out there. There's so blankety blank many. It's like this motorcycle - I'm riding by zipping binders with the cars and it's like that up there it's like everywhere. Some of the ufo’s I can see the metal. Okay so I see the metal on some of them but for some reason the cloaking stuff on those ships is not working the way it does on others, and you can actually see the metal, and so that but that's like five percent out of the out of the total. Most of them you see just a hole in the infrared background on the sky.

Anyway, these videos are super convincing that the ufo’s are real. And like bugs - how can they be bugs? Everybody. So, we have we have the cameras we're going to set them up 25 feet apart and see the same ufo’s - that can't be bugs.
But besides, we're focused on Infinity - if it was a bug, it wouldn't be in focus. A bug is going to be close; I mean we're not going to get anything with the bugs - if it's sharp and it's clear and it's moving around, and then at the speeds - it's got to be at least a mile away. So, you can estimate the speeds - if there's a cloud, then we can estimate exactly what the speed is.
But minimally, just assuming it's a mile away these things are going like 25 000 miles an hour.
A damn bug - okay".

My comments continued in the next post...

As more questions are being asked about UFO’s and UAP’s, and more information is coming out from reputable sources, Chris Lehto (Retired Jet Fighter Pilot & content creator of The Lehto Files on Youtube) has made a series of videos which look at the maths, procedures and the conclusions from an independent study on Unidentified Phenomena in the Atmosphere written by Boris Zhilyaev, V.N. Petukhov, V.M. Reshetnyk from the Main Astronomical Observatory, NAS of Ukraine.

This seemingly was a response to people of note who were saying that the object in the sky and objects that were being captured in videos and photographs, were insects, birds or artillery. One specific incident was the claim the Russian shot down a UFO on the Ukrainian border.

I’m not sure if the Study papers have been accepted, published and peer reviewed, at the time of this post – but a copy of them was given to Chris Lehto, which he kindly added the link to them at his Youtube channel.

From the Independent Study, it laid out the mathematical groundwork to conclude that these unidentified flying phenomena were not birds, insects, or artillery.
The papers also detail the classifications of the ‘Cosmic’s’ (bright daytime objects) and the ‘Phantom’s’ (dark daytime objects).

The videos from Chris Lehto on Youtube that look at the UFO claims, and go through the papers explaining the study are below.

Published Video: Russia Shot down a UFO? and update on Kyiv UAPs
Date: Mid January

Description: Russia shot down an unidentified flying object in Rostov Oblast on 3 Jan 2023 near the Ukrainian border. I analyse the video and give an update on the Kyiv Main Observatory UFO captures.
Astronomers at the Main Observatory in Kyiv say they have tracked many unknown objects over the daytime skies of Ukraine by taking advantage of the same effect that causes blue skies.

Youtube Channel: The Lehto Files
Published Video: UFO's over Ukraine "not birds or insects"

Description: Kiyv astronomer Boris Zhilyaev responds to claims from debunker Mick West and astrophysicist Avi Loeb that his UFO captures are birds, insects, and artillery.
Boris argues his case in two new papers he sent to me. I go through those papers and present his case in this video.

This is not entirely related to Del's thread but take a look at this. This is a spider web caught in infrared. Does that look anything like Courtney's video to you? Can anyone at all produce similar effects to his video with infrared on a web?
