Kite li nan Denver nan konbine de bagay pafè pou sa a blog – antomologi ak dout! Si ou pa gen pou wè sa yo klip lè sa a pran yon dezyèm yo gade videyo ki pi wo a. Omwen a anpil sa a parèt yo dwe yon fenomèn reyèl, camera crews from the news station were able to record the very same effect. So what could they be? I had an instantaneous recognition of what these UFOs were – flying insects, probably flies of some kind (Diptèr) mating in the warm afternoon sun. It has been nice here in Denver and the hours around 1pm are always the warmest (strangely the same time the “UFOs” are most active). But it’s hard to tell with any degree of certainty what these objects are because of the way that KDVR shows the clips. Odd angles, 2 second flashes, fast forward, super slow motion, super contrast… you only have fractions of a second to see the clip in real time. But when you do it seems so very obvious – and in my professional opinion – that these are insects. Unfortunately they now have a quote from a Denver entomologist, Mary Ann Hamilton (misspelled as Mart on the KDVR website), saying these are not insects. Facepalm. I don’t know Mary and I certainly can’t blame her for being uncertain as to what these are after staring at the footage over and over and over again. In my opinion it was too hasty to rule out insects. Especially because once you enhance… enhance… ak ENHANCE the footage you being to lose all track of reality. The camera footage has recorded very out of focus insects, and the very nature of optics means you have lost most of the information outside of the depth of field. And so enlarging and slowing down these images only makes this problem infinitely worse. The pixels become too large to render any meaningful information and an effect known as pareidolia starts to kick in. Our brains start jumbling together often meaningless data into something recognizable. This is why people see a face on Mars, or rocket boosters coming out of the butts of these insects flying over Denver. And I don’t blame Mary for looking at some of these shiny objects whipping around in weird directions and not seeing insects. But perhaps KDVR could have requested an interview with someone at the Denver Museum (which they did not) – they would have been given an entomologist with much more field experience. I can’t say Mary is unqualified and I don’t mean any disrespect to her, but I don’t believe running a butterfly house is the same thing as being an active research entomologist. This video is pretty excellent for explaining insect UFOs – although these are much larger insects than the ones captured above Denver. And check out this cool video of a Syrphidae fly hovering in the sun – imagine these out of focus and hurtling around in front of the camera… Tankou sa a: Menm jan ak Loading ...

Chris Grinter, 24. studenog, 2012 Ostavite ga u Denver kombinirati dvije stvari savršen za ovaj blog – entomologije i skepsa! Ako niste vidjeli ove isječke onda uzeti drugi gledati video gore. U najmanju ruku to, kako se čini stvarna pojava, kamera posada iz vijesti stanice uspjeli snimiti vrlo isti učinak. Dakle, što bi moglo da bude? Imao sam trenutnu priznanje onoga što su ti NLO-i bili su – leteći insekti, Vjerojatno leti od neke vrste (Diptera) parenja u toplom popodnevnom suncu. Bilo je lijepo ovdje u Denveru, a oko 13:00 sati su uvijek najtopliji (začudo isto vrijeme “NLO-i” su najaktivniji). Ali, to je teško reći s bilo kojim stupnjem sigurnosti što ti objekti su zbog načina na koji KDVR prikazuje isječke. Odd kutovi, 2 Drugi treperi, brzo naprijed, super slow motion, Super kontrast… imate samo djeliću sekunde vidjeti isječak u realnom vremenu. Ali kada to čini tako vrlo očito – i po mom stručnom mišljenju – da su insekti. Nažalost, oni sada imaju citat iz Denver entomolog, Mary Ann Hamilton (pogrešno kao Mart na web stranici KDVR), rekavši to nisu kukci. Facepalm. Ne znam Mariju i ja sigurno ne može kriviti za što zna čemu su to nakon što bulji u snimke iznova i iznova i iznova. Po mom mišljenju to je previše brzopleti u pravilu iz insekte. Pogotovo jer jednom kad se poboljšala… poboljšala… i ENHANCE snimke li se izgubiti pojam o stvarnosti. Fotoaparat snimka je snimljena Vrlo izvan fokusa insekata, i sama priroda optike znači da ste izgubili većinu informacija izvan dubine polja. I tako povećanje i usporava te slike samo čini ovaj problem beskrajno gora. Piksela postala prevelika za pružanje bilo kakve smislene informacije i učinak poznat kao pareidolia počinje kick u. Naš mozak početi jumbling zajedno često besmislenih podataka u nešto prepoznatljivo. To je razlog zašto ljudi vide lice na Marsu, ili raketnih pojačala izlazili su iz pušaka tih insekata leti iznad Denvera. I ne krivi za Mariju gleda na neke od ovih sjajnih objekata mućenje oko u čudnim smjerovima i ne vidim insekata. No, možda KDVR mogao zatražiti razgovor s nekim u Denver Museum (što oni nisu učinili) – oni bi se dao entomolog s puno više iskustva na terenu. Ne mogu reći Marija je bezuvjetna i ne mislim bilo nepoštovanje prema njoj, ali ja ne vjerujem trčanje leptir kuća je ista stvar kao aktivni znanstveni entomolog. Ovaj video je prilično dobro za objašnjavanje insekata NLO – iako su mnogo veće nego što kukci one snimljene iznad Denvera. I provjeriti ovaj cool video o Syrphidae letjeti lebdi na suncu – zamislite ovo izvan fokusa i juri okolo u pred kamerom… Sviđa ti se? Sviđa mi se Učitavanje...
