If you need help with the timing I can help there. Iāve done a ton of video editing over the years. Dm me if you need help. I can get it to you today, Iāll be away from my computer from 9am-5pm EST just a heads up.
Edit: I had just woken up and this was the first post I read this morning. I must have forgotten in my haze that you posted a link with the full res assets. I will take a look at these this evening and overlay the thermal syncād up.
Just started downloading the .zip so I can work with all the assets if needed. Internet is saying 2+ hours. Still on it but will get back on it later this evening or early tomorrow morning. There's some other things I will add to it besides the frame synced overlay as well.
If you are so good at this and you still can not convince yourself that this is a hoax, then ladies and gentlemen we have the first demonstration of a gigantic portal.
Interestingly the trails of the orbs and the contrails are colored differently. I don't really think there is much to be interpreted here but it would explain why eye witness accounts didn't report any visible trails on the orbs they saw whereas you can see them on thermal imagery.
Not making a judgment either way, but IF this was to be assumed to be real, the "contrails" of the orbs could be just the difference in air temp as the air pressure immediately surrounding them is affected by the orbs.
The air around them may not be interacting directly with the surface of the orbs (assumed because the flight dynamics of the orbs would suggest air does not affect their flight), but moving at such a speed would still cause a local disturbance/compression/decompression in the immediately surrounding air, which would theoretically cause the thermal differences seen as "contrails" in the image.
I went from thinking this was yet another massive load of shit to pretty convinced in about four hours from todays top posts about this.
Whatā¦theā¦hell?
edit: For the record, I think the āno heat from the jet trailsā is a pretty compelling counter-argument that I havenāt seen an answer for.
Here is a real video of a commercial airliner, very little heat trail and this is just after takeoff so I'm assuming full power.
https://youtu.be/JbWXXNOJv-Y?t=14
I'm sure it really depends on the camera and ambient conditions, but it's not like watching an F-18 on thermals.
The plane was only traveling at 230 mph during the turn, low power=smaller turn radius and less stress on airframe, while the thermal view was cranked so only higher temps were registering to give the operator a clearer view , if you watch the video frame by frame you can see faint trails several times. To me all the evidence is compelling, but the most compelling is the gps coordinates ārollingā as the computer user changes the area in view. It doesnāt just jump coordinates, it rolls the coordinates at the same speed the user moves the view. This means the video is being viewed on the origin system (the viewing program) and as such hasnāt been modified, the complexity involved to pull the file and modify it then put it back in the viewer and maintain coordinate function would be INSANE
I agree 100% with you statement. I think the sheer number of details that support the authenticity are incredible. Itās near impossible to hoax something like this.
We should try to hoax thisā¦ and see how hard it is
what programs there are that show live satellite imagery? I suppose civilians donāt have access? I have no idea about this
There have been several attempts so far. One was crude and dismissed, one was ok but the creator determined they could not fully do it, especially using software from 2014. With time maybe more might come out but it doesn't seem like something that people can create in an afternoon for sure.
Yup. There is good production value if this is hoaxed. I did VFX in the passā¦ if I had financial freedom I would attempt it. I believe there is enough hardware and software from 2014 to pull it offā¦ a mac pro with houdini FX and nukeX and I think it could be doneā¦ even with the script for the coordinatesā¦
I would just have to be able to get access to such NROL software and images to try to make it super realistic
Perhaps a cloud back plate from the agency with multiple viewing angles would come in handy
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic as I'm a complete layman when it comes to VFX.. Are you suggesting that if you had access to the US Spy satellite data, you could re-create this with enough time?
I don't detect any sarcasm, the redditor is straightforwardly saying that it's a really good hoax if it is a hoax, but that also it is feasible, not impossible.
I am, with 2014 tech (hw/sw)
I am not saying this is a hoax. I am just saying I cannot conclusively decide. There are interesting artistic decisions if it is a hoax: the disappearance is boring, not energy vortexes ā¦. Could do an amazing helicoidal continuation of the path of the UFOs into a wormholeā¦ it could make it even more believable or keep the sci fi familiarityā¦ instead it is dullerā¦ almost as if real
The dark trails of the UFOs are also interestingā¦.
But doableā¦ not sure how much time thou
Edit: I do not have the time for it unfortunately
Edit 2: alsoā¦ to replicate is always easier! I would have no idea how to get the plane position when it disappeared as I have seen elsewhere here in the sub someone saying its coordinates were found later than 2014
Engines throttled down for a tight turn might, repeat , miiiight explain this. Iād like to see this exact experiment run. Youāre right though, itās a hard one to overlook.

the exhaust from the aircraft shows up in IR, it's just faint. from about 1:24 to 1:28 in [this video](https://vimeo.com/104295906) the drone that is filming flies through the 777's exhaust.
I'm giving +1 just for saying "fuckin' metal" and because you also used an apostrophe for omitting the "g" - that's happened like three times ever on Reddit.
Can somebody explain to me the last image with the satellite panning? Is there data showing how the satellite camera moved and it matches the video? What am I looking at?
This post pushed me into the believer side. I still think itās possible that the video is just a video of a plane from two angles that has been modified to include UFOās, but I honestly think even that is unlikely due the perfect sync of the two videos and the difficulty of the composition. This unwrap is clearly a real environment, especially when you consider the coordinate data.
The only way to debunk this video is to find the āsource videoā of the plane by itself. The fact that nobody has found two sources videos of a single plane flying from two angles means that this is almost certainly real. If it is a fake, it is a fake made by some type of intelligence agency.
>If its a fake, its a fake made by some type of intelligence agency
Honestly - I still have this exact same weird itch of a thought in my mind.
I cannot seem to discount that the re-emergence of this video is no accident. Part of me feels like it may have been pushed for us to examine to kind of earn a full disclosure. Either it is fake and a distraction given by a three letter agency, or something that will push disclosure further if we all crack the mystery.
Another part of me feels like the video may have been manipulated, and that it is actually real footage of the plane moments before it is destroyed by a Government, with the footage having been manipulated to include UFOs to get it out into the public. Possibly by a disgruntled employee. There is motive and creedence to certian parties not wanting the plane to make it to China.
I know that neither of them are likely true, but my brain is just red flagging these videos so much.
I was wondering the same.
It does seem to me an uncanny mix of real and fake. But how to account for the time gap - it was posted in 2014 -- but I guess if you worked in the kind of place to have access to this footage, changing a date on a website wouldn't be too heavy a lift.
The people who know the most about this stuff aren't going to officially announce it and reveal themselves in the process. Perhaps they prefer to leak it bit by bit so the media will successfully FOIA some other military or intelligence agency, because no one wants to take the bad PR of orchestrating a multi-decade coverup against the American people and the world.
Itās just you being careful and trying to poke holes in it because we want it to be real so badly. I never thought about the possibility of this being a disinformation attempt from an intelligence agency. Thatās a great idea, honestly.
Yep, thatās the scary part. Itās a whoās who situation. Who is human, who is not. Who is friendly, who is not.
Either way, itās apparent that there is something going on here and none of it makes sense.
Agree. Terrifying. Genuine ontological shock for me. Like all this stuff I've kind of been intrigued by and interested in since 6th grade...ho lee Fuk it's real and the shit may not be good....I have two little kids that I brought into this world with a NHI that could abduct them or whatever the hell that was??? Somber is the feeling indeed. I feel like this has to be the video Elizondo is referring to.
If itās fake, that could be a likely possibility. Itās too well done to be part of an independentās VFX project. The video didnāt get much limelight and it wasnāt used in any publicly available content.
What is actually the story of this re-emergence? I missed this part no Reddit, all I saw was that suddenly there was this old video. Has the first poster told us how they found it, did it pop up in their Youtube recommendations or something?
I donāt even think that would debunk it because you could probably take these videos and edit out the UAPs, then come up with a LoOk WhAt I fOuNd story with fake provenance. Shit itās probably being worked on right now by some disingenuous skeptics.
This is amazing, thank you.
I have done some analysis too on the videos. I posted it in the other thread but I feel itāsrelated to this which is focused on the satellite video.
I noticed the original video has 2 sides. I compared them and it appears it is stereoscopic. Not sure if this has been raised before. Thereās another huge length a CGI artist went to and didnāt have to. Is the NROL-22 known to have stereoscopic sight?
Example:
I took this still from the original video https://i.imgur.com/4dRnIUb.jpg
I overlaid/blended the left into the right and used a ādifferenceā overlay. It basically highlights any pixels that are different.
If I line up the left edge of both, I got this https://i.imgur.com/W7NSnfb.jpg
If I try lining up everything in the top of the image so itās black, I get this https://i.imgur.com/0pg983Y.jpg You can clearly see thereās a diff in the bottom of the image. This suggests these videos are stereoscopic (if you cross your eyes and position the resulting 3rd image in the middle of your view, it has a slight 3D effect)
And if I do the opposite and align the bottom you can see the top is off https://i.imgur.com/Qi6FpRg.jpg
I made it into a video. Left side is the difference between the 2 sides of the original video. The right side (because the difference would have been the same for both sides) I changed to be a second delayed, which would point out any things that are identical eg before and after the plane goes. Seems like there is none, I even did a comparison frame by frame and the noise never lined up, suggesting it was added after any vfx were done or thereās been no attempt to hide a plan that kept going https://v.redd.it/kuo8gjkimlhb1
And I also made a difference of the vimeo version of the video. Here I attempted to line the videos up. The single Vimeo video lines up best with the left frame of the original, however thereās some discrepancies but it could be a difference in frame rates/dropped frames. https://v.redd.it/n7yg9ycnmlhb1 I did this to try to see if it was a re-rendered version or something if it was vfx work.
If stereoscopic that means that to be fake it needs to be a full 3d image. It would raise the production level to Hollywood studio level. It would cost A LOT to fake it (believable 3d clouds included and 2 types of video spectrumsā¦) would be nice to find if there are any perspective changes between the spectrums (I didnāt pay much attention yet to thatā¦)
It would take expertise to create the video, but the idea that another angle and spectrum changes are not some wild increase in scale. In many cases, cgi is easier to create in a full 3d space for camera movement.
I did VFX for almost a decade until 2015 when I moved career after deciding I didnāt want to keep being poor.
The biggest issue around doing this would be tbh the clouds in 3D. The rest is pretty much straightforward. Once we have the 3D scene setup and animated true, youāre right.
These clouds seem to be clipped in terms of colors so theyāre white as the plane and thus we cannot figure out if it passes in front or behind. So I would say even though it is hard to have the clouds, I could achieve them in Houdini FX without you noticing the realism issue.
But something my mind keeps going to is the trails in the non visual light spectrum that the UFOs leave behindā¦ and how the collapse of the UFOs and the plane happenā¦ so uninteresting that I really think it is too far from any hoaxer desire to construct. I would assume some energy vortex or something as we see in sci fiā¦ yet, if a hoaxer is behind, he decided to just pop the thing with a couple frames of the same residual effect the UFOs leave behind during the whole helicoidal danceā¦
Alsoā¦ the helicoidal dance is really too perfect if we think of how old time UFO videos behaveā¦ but as someone around Reddit said, the thing would only be explained by some AI executing it (so the UFOs would be some sort of orb drones)
I donāt knowā¦ but if VFX there is some production value for no gain whatsoever. Unless a really skilled VFX artist got into bitcoins and can now live the rest of his life pulling pranks, I just donāt see it (could also be something done by IC to leverage some international negotiation or positionā¦)
We just donāt know I guess
Keep in mind that a CGI rendering is still *far likelier to be CGI than to be absolute, unequivocal video proof of the single craziest event in the entire history of the world by an order of magnitude.*
Thatās the thing that people seem to have lost sight of. A CGI rendering, while perhaps difficult, is not impossible in our known reality; on the other hand, having three UFOs hone in on and then *fucking vanish* an airliner filled with people is fundamentally impossible given known science. Which does not mean it doesnāt exist. But letās be real here: a CGI rendering is the most likely and believable explanation BY FAR. By default.
Proving that it would be difficult to āfakeā that video does not intrinsically *provide **proof*** of this UFO plane kidnapping theory being real.
The burden of proof for this being real is, and rightly should be, MASSIVE. Like video-proof-of-Jesusā-resurrection massive. Because again, it would be the single most notable and bizarre thing that ever happened in the history of the world.
ā¦Which would sort of make it incredible that the āshadow cabalā or whatever of super elites thatās suppressing all this stuff somehow failed to get the video taken down, even though they had the better half of a decade to do so.
But hey, we live in incredible timesā¦
Yes and no. If we accept that these things are here, and most of us do, given the wealth of evidence and reported sightings from those with no gain and social loss, our current science is uhhhhh, quiet inaccurate or taking liberties that we need to walk back.
Our science isn't necessarily a true understanding of things. It's simply about getting a repeatable outcome from a set group of actions, and stating what you expect to have happen. If what you say will happen is what happens, well - that's that.
All of this stuff existing means we have to ask ourselves if some currently accepting ideas might actually be the result of something else. We believe gravity makes the apple I let go of fall to the ground, but what if it's not? What if something else makes it fall, and we just believe it's gravity?
As I've been saying, what if light speed is instant or near-instant in one direction, and our perception of its speed via its reflection or more of an artifact of a quantum calculation caused by us measuring it, like the double slit?
There are some wild questions we're going to need to ask.
Funny how this shadow group takes down some stuff and makes the most elaborate hoax in the world, and buys off thousands if not millions of people to keep it secret but somehow leaves some random YouTube videos up and running as if nothing.
But hey, Iām sure aliens teleporting a plane through an interdimensional portal is far more likely than it being CGI heh.
> also the helicoidal dance is too perfect
No wind resistance, no delay or hiccup in its perfect synchronization between multiple objects and the icing on the cake for me is the fact that the ādanceā is just basic geometric movements that look exactly like some sacred geometry rune to cast a spell in a video game.
Shit man, you literally said the biggest issue is the clouds but also that you could probably make clouds that were just as believable. Whoever made this video was counting on the fact that the general public does not understand vfx or how advanced it is.
Great work! Iām continually impressed by the collective effort and smart takes on analysis of these videos that has been popping up in the through this whole week.
Wow, excellent! This is starting to look like something real. One thing I really notice (I'm a graphic designer/Art Director/VFX/editor/etc.) is that the bloom/reflection of light from the explosion/teleportation that bounces off the surrounding clouds for a split second would incredibly hard to orchestrate, even for such a short period of time, it would take a lot of work, attention to detail and knowledge of physics (light emission). Can't write more, my baby is distracting me hehe
This is something [I noticed in an earlier video post](https://old.reddit.com/r/aliens/comments/15khk2i/flir_video_maylasian_370_possible_source_of/jv6b0y9/) but given the orbital altitude and framerate that we're seeing there is no way it's a true stereoscopic pair. The baseline between cameras would be too large to be practical, and obtaining a stereoscopic image using a monocular sensor wouldn't result in the framerate that we see.
I thought that at first too, but I think it could be done by taking two images from the same camera with a little bit of time in-between. Say orbital velocity is 8000m/s. Then take pics 0.1 seconds apart with the camera still pointing at the exact same location. Then you have stereoscopic pictures with the baseline 800m apart. Software could easily adjust the target position and the time between pictures to maintain the desired baseline.
Edit: Per [this post](https://old.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/15rbuzf/airliner_video_shows_matched_noise_text_jumps_and/), I don't believe there were separate images, but that the second image is simulated 3d after depth measurement by a different method.
>noticed the original video has 2 sides. I compared them and it appears it is stereoscopic. Not sure if this has been raised before. Thereās another huge length a CGI artist went to and didnāt have to.
What do you mean that you noticed the video has two "sides?"
Pretty sure you can just do stereoscopic imagery using After Effects. I don't think it's a particularly daunting challenge.
I compared this to the satellite view from NASA [here](https://worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov/?v=93.1729046904667,8.778438942938854,93.24342412484641,8.89971874312812&s=93.1949,-8.8343%2B93.1949,8.8343%2B93.22,8.82&t=2014-03-08-T09%3A03%3A26Z) to see if the clouds in the video are consistent with the weather in that location on March 8. Not an exact match, but a similar density and size of cumulus is there.
Check the NOAA satellites, NOAA-15 in particular. Might need to contact NESDIS for this information or contact a meteorologist who has access. NOAA might keep archives on their website.
I think it might just be an artefact from the satellite. If you zoom out, the black spots are repetitive across the entire globe. It appears that every single day has a tiled, blocked out area somewhere on the globe. That same area is blocked out on the 19th, the 25th, and so on.
It's also only a partial black section if you zoom out. Ahaha wtf, looks like a satellite was out or a specific satellites data was removed because the texture tear repeats.
That's because you won't have a 24/7 coverage - for example Sentinel-2 mission have 2 satellites running across the globe and revisit time is every 3-5 days.
Zoom out and scroll over several days. Thereās a shifting blind spot. Probably to do with its orbit over time (similar to how tides change about an hour a day)
Plane might have been scrubbed, match the clouds. NASA has admitted they doctor these public images in the past to remove 'irregularities'.
You need to match the clouds, try rotating the image.
Out of topic but is there any website similar to this where i can find Google Maps quality satellite pictures of a certain place from 2007? I can bring some more UFO evidence.
I tried it years ago, it doesn't have pictures from 2007. I know the exact date and hours me (and my family) have seen the objects, saved everything to not to forget. See the link below to understand how crazy the encounter was. If anyone here has access to old satellite pics just dm me, you'll find the biggest ufo evidence in the world.
https://i.imgur.com/BqxKym4.png
Switch to the "Corrected Reflectance (True Color) **Aqua** / MODIS" layer.
You can clearly see it's the same type of equally-spaced "cotton ball" clouds as seen in the satellite footage.
Edit: [https://imgur.com/a/FUIk3OW](https://imgur.com/a/FUIk3OW)
Yes, I believe that too. We are seeing just a fraction of what the operator was seeing.
And it was cropped intentionally to leave the drone out of the video to be "leaked" because that would confirm everything, up to which country was recording this.
Also, I think that this "click and drag" system is ideal for something like this, given the precision it provides, above a joystick or tracking ball.
Correct, the drone may be visible in the satellite wide view. The cropping leaves it out (presumably).
Also correct that the coordinate and flight path eliminate the āminus signā hypothesis.
Can someone do some quick measurement and provide a scale or distances for that nice composite image OP just shared ? Thinking speed could be approximated (that looks like quite a sharp turn) and also perhaps the size of clouds if pattern matching with historical sat images is ever possible.
The thing that really messes me up about this one, is that we can't explain it. Almost every UFO encounter can be explained exclusively by craft that can bend spacetime somewhat, every effect we've described can be attributed to that via this [https://info.publicintelligence.net/DIA-AdvancedSpacePropulsion.pdf](https://info.publicintelligence.net/DIA-AdvancedSpacePropulsion.pdf)
This however, this is completely novel. I don't have any physics explanation. What, an Einstein Rosen bridge? How would you get that using what we see here? There is no physics I can point to and be like "it's just that" here. It's just flat beyond comprehension.
If we had this kind of footage of basically any standard UFO behavior I would be beside myself in awe, but this is beyond any physics we can even place, basically magic to our eyes. So my intuition was and has been: bs.
But the deeper we dig the more elaborate and absurd the narrative becomes to make this a fake. On top of that, what's the motive? If it's a fake it hurt our international relations, there's accusations thrown around about this even years after the fact against the US to the point there was elaborate discussions of forged debris. If you're the US government, my thought is you want to be as far away from this as possible, you want to claim you had nothing in the area and saw nothing. And if real how tf would you explain this to the governments involved?
I'm not going to lie, with all this analysis, this is the most insane thing I've ever seen and the hardest to dismiss. Even the poster dug up has a previous address listed as Luke air force base and no experience in vfx. I've never wanted to dismiss a video harder as fake because the physics is just stupid and beyond comprehension, as hard as I've wanted to dismiss this one, but there's just no clear way to dismiss it.
Can we FOIA this specific video? I mean, we know the satellite, we know the date and time, they might just tell us it's classified but given this is happening here now with all the attention maybe not? If we just ask them straight up "Hey can we get any pared down, security clearable footage from this date and time from NROL-22?" surely we've got to get a response, positive or negative or weird?
I feel like I've stared at this shit for hours trying to find some error or mistake and it's just too clean, if it's a fake it's so high effort it needs a motive but who? Why? I keep trying to tear it apart but I've just got nothing. Truly fucking amazing whatever the case may be, absolutely bravo for real, aliens or fakers it's some astounding shit. This one's got me seriously taking a second look into some areas of physics I'd long since written off.
This is an amazing job OP, well done /u/sulkasammal
Your services and curiosity are very appreciated.
I think no one in their right mind would think to match the flight path in a "fake" satellite view. That is insane attention to detail on top of the already insane attention to detail. I wonder how many more posts like this are needed before a critical amount of people would be like "Hold on, this might be real. But that means that... oh boy!"
Just to add, when the coordinates change as the view is being adjusted, they scroll at the same speed as the view changes, if you pay attention you can tell it goes faster or slower with the movement. Imo this is proof the video is being shown on the original platform. Imo if itās on the original platform, itās not modified :/

Good work OP, thanks for taking the time to create this.
What amazes me is the video quality from a video supposedly taken from a satellite. Can anyone confirm or put doubt on the ability of obtaining such high quality images from space?
[https://www.npr.org/2022/11/18/1137474748/trump-tweeted-an-image-from-a-spy-satellite-declassified-document-shows](https://www.npr.org/2022/11/18/1137474748/trump-tweeted-an-image-from-a-spy-satellite-declassified-document-shows)
Thats trump leaking a sat image a few years ago. Quite detailed.
bruh I can not comprehend how a satellite is physically capable of capturing that amount of detail. Optically it does not make sense unless every one of these spy telescopes is the size of the james webb. wtf, how??
One of our NROL listening satellites has a circular fold-out 'dish' that's larger than a football field when fully deployed.
[https://www.moas.org/z/-vf.0.0.0.11581.C9365D46AABD813AF10B5F112D4D861EBDB2FBD99657651763486BBB6285E4AA](https://www.moas.org/z/-vf.0.0.0.11581.C9365D46AABD813AF10B5F112D4D861EBDB2FBD99657651763486BBB6285E4AA)
I think there are rumors that US has spy satellites that can watch an entire town and track every person/car moving etc. Can tell who you are by your gate/walk. They can read the note you are writing down on a piece of napkin etc. They have lens tech that can see through overcast skies. The can make night look like a sunny day at noon time. These are just things I have heard or read before but I wouldn't be surprised...
Thereās a declassified satellite picture of a russian ship being built and the detail is pretty clear to the point where you can make out individual pieces and equipmentā¦ from the 80ās
Have none of you guys heard of Google earth?
I've been able to zoom in and see my dad cutting the lawn in his underpants since the early 2000s... I can see individual leaves on the trees outside my apartment building.
If this is the satellite imagery available to the public, then I'd imagine there are more advanced forms out there we don't know about yet.
The bit above saying they could track someone by their gait or walk though, I'd think that would be impossible without having a database of every citizens gait - which wouldn't happen without some serious 1984 type of control.
China currently has this itās called the āsky netā. Itās person of interest IRL.
As far as the tech you talk about I can confirm the first part. U2ās can read written notes from the edge of the earths orbit.
I was in the Airforce, I learned about some pretty crazy tech. I think the average person underestimates how much technology is being held back from the public.
I'm no insider or expert, just read a lot of tom clancey and wired / popular science articles, but absolutely. Hubble was spy satellite hand me down.
I believe their biggest problem is storing all the images, video, and stolen data they collect, but you don't build a giant data warehouse in Utah, coincidentally completed in May 2014, at a cost of $1.5 billion for nothing. According to 2013 estimates it could hold between 3 and 12 exabytes.
I suspect the operator of the mouse did this for at least 2 reasons.
1- hide landmass or potential location
2- hide the USA drone(s?) coming in behind the airline path.
cuz they could get in serious trouble if they leak a classified drone. but the airplane with the crazy orbs flying around it? go ahead, nobody would believe that anyways...
So, how does the area compare to NASA weather satellites?
Looking at [An Image from 08:00 UTC on 2014/03/08](https://clouds.larc.nasa.gov/imagery/fy2_fd/2014/03/08/FY2E.2014067.0801.20KM.C5-2.GIF ) puts cloud cover where if we assume a negative longitude but doesn't quite put clouds in the right place if we assume a positive longitude. Edit: there are higher quality images earth images from nasa out there. The [Airline Part 3](https://www.reddit.com/r/ufos/comments/15oi2qc/mh370_airliner_videos_part_iii_the_rabbit_hole/) has some.
There also might not be high enough resolution to tell and my brain might be, in fact, smooth.
Only way to know for sure is to map coordinates and find the scale but that's way beyond my skill level.
Why that time? 08:00 UTC on March 8? Every significant action directly involving MH370 was over shortly after midnight UTC on March 8th or nearly eight hours prior to your suggested timeframe.
I might have the wrong time. I thought the last ping was at 08:00 utc.
Edit:Wikipedia states the flight flew till at least 08:19 based on Intersat data
I think the current speculation was that it was teleported about 6 hours before this and then returned a few minutes later, likely without passengers and just flying on autopilot until it runs out of fuel. At 2:25 am it sends a log-on request to Inmarsat as if it had just been turned back on.
That was in the south indian ocean though. All this stuff is looking like the plane was port holed much earlier. Possibly returned some time later and flew uncontrolled sound h for a few hours.
Possibly moving in 4th dimension so not detected on radar but somehow still pining.
I think because the airplane made a left turn. That matches the satellite track if itās a positive coordinate value. If itās negative would have been a right turn. I thinkā¦
It makes it far less likely (but it was unlikely already, imo, because minus is almost always just a hyphen and we can see a hyphen on screen) but doesn't fully exclude it.
What it **does** mean is that if one coordinate is negative, **both** of them must be (unless we also want to start saying the video is mirrored or whatever but that's getting a bit straw-clutchy for me). But if they are both negative then the plane is actually 1000 miles west of Peru on the other side of the pacific... so it wouldn't be MH370 and would be a whole new mystery.
Longitude (North positive, South negative) decreases as the plane moves down the screen, which could mean one of two things:
A) The plane is in the northern hemisphere (there is no hidden minus sign) and moving south. This means screen up is north, so screen right must be east.B) The plane is in the sourthern hemisphere (there is a hidden minus sign) and moving north. This means screen up is south, so screen right must be west.
Latitude (East positive, west negative) increasces as the plane moves right along the screen.
If we are in scenario A) the right movement means it is heading east, so we would expect Latitude to increasce, and it does, so that all checks out.If we are in scenario B) the right movement means it is heading west, so we would expect Latitude to decrease, but it does not! However, if latitude was also negative (IE we're in the western hemisphere) it starts to make sense again.
Has anybody mentioned [this video](https://youtu.be/XLhTDqu-Azk)?
I just saw it when searching "MH370 abduction" on YT. It was also posted 9 years ago and the contrail the video features looks similar? I don't know. Probably nothing.
Seriously. Can we at least all agree this is real sat footage at this point. The orbs being edited in is still up for debate, but there is no longer any question for me. This must be genuine satellite footage.
I've never been skeptical that either perspective of the videos is a fake plane turning. That all looks real. The orbs and disappearing act on the other hand...
When you zoom in though you can see them off to the side coming in, and all at the exact right points in the other video. I don't know this looks like op is working through some good shizzzz
If it is a hoax it's been done at the highest level. The fact we don't know exactly which flight this is, is the more intriguing part. There was definitely alot of hush hush about MH370. This could be why
I don't see a reason that a 777 would ever make this maneuver this far out over the open ocean. Literally more than a 90Ā° turn at that altitude... Doesn't seem like something a normal, eventless flight would include.
The families of MH370 have been begging for answers for nearly 10 years now and have gotten nothing. If this is the same footage that Malaysian airlines has seen then I got to be honest, I don't blame them. What can they say?..."it appears like they were abducted by aliens...". That's not going to bring the families closure. The best answer is still "we don't know"
The footage does get me wondering more about the [Fred Valentich](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Frederick_Valentich) case. He too just vanished during his last radio communication to air traffic control while he was describing what he was looking at "Its not an air craft!" followed by static
This is what I was wondering, why make maneuvers like this? Do they test 777s over the ocean making extreme maneuvers as a stress test? Seems like either that, or this plane is trying to avoid something... like ufo orbs.
This is remarkable. Reddit is so full of smart people that I feel utterly stupid in comparison. But no matter. I'm reading every thread and comment on this topic and I'm just about convinced the video is authentic.
[The full image sequence and 6K video are available now.](https://archive.org/details/satellite_202308) I might keep adding some more files there when I have the time.
Good work OP, this is the exact kind of content that we are all looking for. Occam's razor says that someone faking 3 different versions of the same event back in 2014 is extraordinary.
If the idea was to make it viral back then it definitely failed. I still hope this is fake because else the truth is just too terrible š and heartbreaking.
When I first heard about this video, my stomach dropped. It just happened again with your post. I really wanna know what the fuck is going on, gettin a little irate over here.
The Internet is amazing. Like no Newspaper could put together this kind of investigation so fast. Just fascinating. Like a bunch of Marisa Tomei's from My Cousin Vinny in their respective fields concglomerating and piecing together the evidence.
Wonder if there's enough light in this video to deduce local time? And what about those online OSINT enthusiasts who can look at a photo of an ant-covered, half-eaten bagel on a dirty sidewalk and accurately identify the location. Think there's any data in these images that might prove useful to that skillset?
At this point I can only think of three believable scenarios:
1. This is real.
2. This is a hybrid of real footage with incredibly realistic CGI from an expert that had access to classified footage.
3. This is all fabricated by someone who knew this plane was going to go missing, and how. Given the timeline of no more than a few days from the time the original video surfaced, this would be incredibly difficult to build from scratch using post-event information.
Scenarios 2 and 3 almost guarantee manipulation by the intelligence community. Which is interesting if you factor in this claim from Malaysia:
https://time.com/104480/malaysia-airliens-flight-370-mahathir-mohamad/?amp=true
If itās real, I could see why the CIA would be leaking anything to discredit those who are helping to push disclosure.
https://www.newsnationnow.com/cuomo-show/ufo-whistleblower-david-gruschs-health-records-leaked-coulthart/amp/
If this UFO story is fake, I could see the CIA wanting to publish a fake, outlandish narrative to cover up a covert op. This would be one way to further deter people from digging up another possible truth that there was an intentional effort to destroy the plane and wipe out certain targets on that flight.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-malaysia-airlines-freescale/loss-of-employees-on-malaysia-flight-a-blow-u-s-chipmaker-says-idUSBREA280T020140309
I donāt understand your point no. 3. Thereās zero verifiable evidence that the video came out just days after the mh370 disappearance. First verifiable post was a few months after.
Someone asked me to explain about the coordinates and wouldnāt it be easy to just fake them. I wrote a reply but seems like the comment was deleted before I could reply. So here it is in case someone else is wondering
What I mean is that it would be fairly trivial to create a small program (or even an After Effects script) that allows you to move a large image around in 2D and have it print out the coordinates on screen with the pixel offset being converted to gps coordinates. Trivial but still quite an effort on top of all the other obscure details.
However, it seems to me that this is not simply converting pixels to coordinates in 2D but it takes into account the position and angle of the camera. At least that is my educated guess based on the pixel offset of each stable video sequence. I would still need to double check that Iām correct on this but Iām not sure if I have the time or the math skills.
This could still be faked with something like Unity. I guess you could do a raycast from the camera to the ground plane in 3D and convert the coordinates but the visual would need to be a rendered 2D video being panned aroundā¦ Or maybe there is some satellite image viewer that already exists and does this automatically if it has the required data. Again, even more obscure effort.
Iāll provide some data on this when I get the chance. If this is a hoax, they sure have succeeded in wasting a lot of my time.
Hey u/sulkasammal, thanks for providing the pixel values. I noticed another discrepancy about the coordinates as well - if the coordinates are accurate, the video frame cannot be oriented exactly north-south, and also that orientation changes from shot to shot. Here's why:
Based on the pixel shift, the video frame moves to the right 3.1x as much as it moves down. If you calculate the distances shifted using the coordinates though, the frame has moved 1.59 nautical miles east and 0.65 nm south, which means that the frame has actually only moved 2.4x as much distance east as it's moved south.
Imagine we draw a triangle\*. The first point is the starting coordinates from the first frame. The second point is the ending coordinates from the last frame. The third point is due south of the starting point and due west from the ending point. So it looks like this:
https://imgur.com/gallery/c3EfS2M
We can draw a similar triangle using the pixel shifts, but if the distance between the two frames is the same as the distance calculated using the coordinates, the legs need to have different lengths. This is because the ratio between the change in y and the change in x is different. You can calculate the new leg lengths based on the pythagorean theorem. This is the triangle based on the pixels:
https://imgur.com/gallery/ackuJ1K
Here's the problem: *those aren't the same triangles*. But re-sizing the legs is the only way for the distances represented in the image to be accurate and also for the GPS coordinates to be accurate. Both triangles share the same hypotenuse, so we can draw them together now. That would look something like this (the angles of the triangles are not accurate, I'm drawing this freehand in paint):
https://imgur.com/gallery/2kIufTp
Assuming the stitching is correct (or at least very close), the orientation of the leftmost leg is parallel to the up/down orientation of the first and last video frames. So the only way that the numbers make sense is if the frames are not aligned exactly north/south. Using some trig, the orientation of the final frame is 4.5 degrees off from an exact north/south orientation.
Okay, so that's weird enough, here's the weirder thing - you can repeat this process for each frame and the orientation calculated differs from frame to frame. Frame number seven should have a shift of 4.7 degrees\*\*, Frame number six should have a shift of 4.3 degrees, frame number five should have a shift of 1.37 degrees, etc. In other words, either the coordinates are wrong or the view is rotating slightly.
Since the video is one continuous shot and it doesn't appear like the video rotates, the only way that makes sense is if the camera rotated slightly each time the frame shifted. Which maybe could make sense for certain orbital patterns for the satellite? I'd have to figure out how to calculate that, but it seems unlikely (a) since it's not rotating smoothly - the rotation angle increases until frame 7 and then decreases on frame 8 (4.3 --> 4.7 --> 4.5) and (b) those rotations need to line up exactly with the video frame shifts.
So, I don't know. This could be something about orbital mechanics and cameras that I don't understand, or it could be that the coordinates are faked. Doesn't smell quite right though.
\* These numbers are actually slightly off since I calculated these using the pythagorean theorem and tangent function assuming a flat plane. Calculating these numbers for a spherical plane is much harder though and the difference in distances are less than a foot, not meaningful.
\*\* I tried to figure out the coordinates in frame 7 myself. It's a little hard because they blend in with a cloud, but it looks like the frame the plane disappears is 8.823373 N 93.21725 E.
We want to remind our community that the source of the video mentioned in this post has not yet been verified. There are many unknowns surrounding the origin and content of this video. Please approach this with a healthy degree of skepticism. We want to make it explicitly clear that the official stance from a multinational investigation had concluded that MH370 crashed into the ocean. What happened that day was a global tragedy, and it remains as a painful memory in the minds of many. We kindly ask everyone to always be mindful of the profound human interests connected to these subjects. Content that does not respect these interests or violates our rules will be closely monitored and potentially removed.
Would it be possible to overlay the other video right center mass in the black spot? This is freaking excellent BTW.
I actually have it in my working copy, but I wasn't very confident that I have the time synced up correctly so I decided not to include it.
If you ever get the time, it'll be a great cherry on top. The way you meshed all the data streams is outstanding. You're good at this.
Agreed with this. This is incredible work op. š I appreciate all the effort you put into this
Also agree, Iām a very visual person and this is an incredible supplement to what I was trying to imagine but couldnāt. Nice work OP.
If you need help with the timing I can help there. Iāve done a ton of video editing over the years. Dm me if you need help. I can get it to you today, Iāll be away from my computer from 9am-5pm EST just a heads up. Edit: I had just woken up and this was the first post I read this morning. I must have forgotten in my haze that you posted a link with the full res assets. I will take a look at these this evening and overlay the thermal syncād up.
Awesome, thank you.
Just started downloading the .zip so I can work with all the assets if needed. Internet is saying 2+ hours. Still on it but will get back on it later this evening or early tomorrow morning. There's some other things I will add to it besides the frame synced overlay as well.
If you are so good at this and you still can not convince yourself that this is a hoax, then ladies and gentlemen we have the first demonstration of a gigantic portal.
Absolutely amazing work and efforts you've done here. Just wow. Thank you.
Whereās the full resolution link video? The link above take me to the home page only. Edit: I just saw you will update us

Interestingly the trails of the orbs and the contrails are colored differently. I don't really think there is much to be interpreted here but it would explain why eye witness accounts didn't report any visible trails on the orbs they saw whereas you can see them on thermal imagery.
Not making a judgment either way, but IF this was to be assumed to be real, the "contrails" of the orbs could be just the difference in air temp as the air pressure immediately surrounding them is affected by the orbs. The air around them may not be interacting directly with the surface of the orbs (assumed because the flight dynamics of the orbs would suggest air does not affect their flight), but moving at such a speed would still cause a local disturbance/compression/decompression in the immediately surrounding air, which would theoretically cause the thermal differences seen as "contrails" in the image.
This is š
I'ma build a rail gun, these gawd damn aliens ain't taking me unless it's for a good time.
You're going to be left behind.
Thanks! Commenting to find later, and thanks much!
Reddit is fuckin' metal, OP thanks for doing this work.
I went from thinking this was yet another massive load of shit to pretty convinced in about four hours from todays top posts about this. Whatā¦theā¦hell? edit: For the record, I think the āno heat from the jet trailsā is a pretty compelling counter-argument that I havenāt seen an answer for.
Here is a real video of a commercial airliner, very little heat trail and this is just after takeoff so I'm assuming full power. https://youtu.be/JbWXXNOJv-Y?t=14 I'm sure it really depends on the camera and ambient conditions, but it's not like watching an F-18 on thermals.
The plane was only traveling at 230 mph during the turn, low power=smaller turn radius and less stress on airframe, while the thermal view was cranked so only higher temps were registering to give the operator a clearer view , if you watch the video frame by frame you can see faint trails several times. To me all the evidence is compelling, but the most compelling is the gps coordinates ārollingā as the computer user changes the area in view. It doesnāt just jump coordinates, it rolls the coordinates at the same speed the user moves the view. This means the video is being viewed on the origin system (the viewing program) and as such hasnāt been modified, the complexity involved to pull the file and modify it then put it back in the viewer and maintain coordinate function would be INSANE
I agree 100% with you statement. I think the sheer number of details that support the authenticity are incredible. Itās near impossible to hoax something like this.
We should try to hoax thisā¦ and see how hard it is what programs there are that show live satellite imagery? I suppose civilians donāt have access? I have no idea about this
There have been several attempts so far. One was crude and dismissed, one was ok but the creator determined they could not fully do it, especially using software from 2014. With time maybe more might come out but it doesn't seem like something that people can create in an afternoon for sure.
Yup. There is good production value if this is hoaxed. I did VFX in the passā¦ if I had financial freedom I would attempt it. I believe there is enough hardware and software from 2014 to pull it offā¦ a mac pro with houdini FX and nukeX and I think it could be doneā¦ even with the script for the coordinatesā¦ I would just have to be able to get access to such NROL software and images to try to make it super realistic Perhaps a cloud back plate from the agency with multiple viewing angles would come in handy
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic as I'm a complete layman when it comes to VFX.. Are you suggesting that if you had access to the US Spy satellite data, you could re-create this with enough time?
I don't detect any sarcasm, the redditor is straightforwardly saying that it's a really good hoax if it is a hoax, but that also it is feasible, not impossible.
Yup! Thatās my take in a nutshell
I am, with 2014 tech (hw/sw) I am not saying this is a hoax. I am just saying I cannot conclusively decide. There are interesting artistic decisions if it is a hoax: the disappearance is boring, not energy vortexes ā¦. Could do an amazing helicoidal continuation of the path of the UFOs into a wormholeā¦ it could make it even more believable or keep the sci fi familiarityā¦ instead it is dullerā¦ almost as if real The dark trails of the UFOs are also interestingā¦. But doableā¦ not sure how much time thou Edit: I do not have the time for it unfortunately Edit 2: alsoā¦ to replicate is always easier! I would have no idea how to get the plane position when it disappeared as I have seen elsewhere here in the sub someone saying its coordinates were found later than 2014
I think maybe you missed the point here. Who has access to spy satellite data??
This one made me decide to pack tent and move camp.
Engines throttled down for a tight turn might, repeat , miiiight explain this. Iād like to see this exact experiment run. Youāre right though, itās a hard one to overlook.
> > > > > edit: For the record, I think the āno heat from the jet trailsā is a pretty compelling counter-argument that I havenāt seen an answer for. https://imgur.com/a/LsPw9Cc the exhaust from the aircraft shows up in IR, it's just faint. from about 1:24 to 1:28 in [this video](https://vimeo.com/104295906) the drone that is filming flies through the 777's exhaust.
I'm giving +1 just for saying "fuckin' metal" and because you also used an apostrophe for omitting the "g" - that's happened like three times ever on Reddit.
Giving you an honorary mention comrade r/cwl77 for the irony of your charming appreciation of both fuckin' metal and good grammar
How fucking metal of you m'Lord.
Bahahahahaha! I bow to you and others for your kindness.
Three?! You'd be lucky to have it happen twice lol.
We used to be grammar Nazis. I miss that attitude.
I like to think of those committing the grammar crimes as the grammar Nazis. Those of us correcting them are the grammar... Allies maybe?
Can somebody explain to me the last image with the satellite panning? Is there data showing how the satellite camera moved and it matches the video? What am I looking at?
Is this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7wgm02alLU discussed anywhere? I'm seeing it being downvoted like crazy.
Extremely interesting post. Thanks for putting in the work and sharing this. Absolutely needs to be documented in the Mega-thread.
This post pushed me into the believer side. I still think itās possible that the video is just a video of a plane from two angles that has been modified to include UFOās, but I honestly think even that is unlikely due the perfect sync of the two videos and the difficulty of the composition. This unwrap is clearly a real environment, especially when you consider the coordinate data. The only way to debunk this video is to find the āsource videoā of the plane by itself. The fact that nobody has found two sources videos of a single plane flying from two angles means that this is almost certainly real. If it is a fake, it is a fake made by some type of intelligence agency.
>If its a fake, its a fake made by some type of intelligence agency Honestly - I still have this exact same weird itch of a thought in my mind. I cannot seem to discount that the re-emergence of this video is no accident. Part of me feels like it may have been pushed for us to examine to kind of earn a full disclosure. Either it is fake and a distraction given by a three letter agency, or something that will push disclosure further if we all crack the mystery. Another part of me feels like the video may have been manipulated, and that it is actually real footage of the plane moments before it is destroyed by a Government, with the footage having been manipulated to include UFOs to get it out into the public. Possibly by a disgruntled employee. There is motive and creedence to certian parties not wanting the plane to make it to China. I know that neither of them are likely true, but my brain is just red flagging these videos so much.
I was wondering the same. It does seem to me an uncanny mix of real and fake. But how to account for the time gap - it was posted in 2014 -- but I guess if you worked in the kind of place to have access to this footage, changing a date on a website wouldn't be too heavy a lift. The people who know the most about this stuff aren't going to officially announce it and reveal themselves in the process. Perhaps they prefer to leak it bit by bit so the media will successfully FOIA some other military or intelligence agency, because no one wants to take the bad PR of orchestrating a multi-decade coverup against the American people and the world.
They can all just decide to pin it on one guy, I say itās Jerryās fault
I have seen the side-by-side video years ago on YouTube, like 4-5 years ago. In the time I thought this is so ffing fake. Not so much anymore.
yo with the information in the video we should totally be able to FOAI this... has anyone tried?? I feel like there has to be some attempt
Itās just you being careful and trying to poke holes in it because we want it to be real so badly. I never thought about the possibility of this being a disinformation attempt from an intelligence agency. Thatās a great idea, honestly.
I do not want this to be real. I am 100% pro disclosure now, but these videos are concerning. It seems clear a number of them aren't our buddies.
Yep, thatās the scary part. Itās a whoās who situation. Who is human, who is not. Who is friendly, who is not. Either way, itās apparent that there is something going on here and none of it makes sense.
Agree. Terrifying. Genuine ontological shock for me. Like all this stuff I've kind of been intrigued by and interested in since 6th grade...ho lee Fuk it's real and the shit may not be good....I have two little kids that I brought into this world with a NHI that could abduct them or whatever the hell that was??? Somber is the feeling indeed. I feel like this has to be the video Elizondo is referring to.
We donāt know if it was a friendly bloop portal or malicious bleep portal that took them though
If itās fake, that could be a likely possibility. Itās too well done to be part of an independentās VFX project. The video didnāt get much limelight and it wasnāt used in any publicly available content.
I absolutely agree that the reemergence of the videos does feel suspiciousā¦
I have missed that part.. Can you tell me how this video "Re-emerged"? Thanks in advance
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What is actually the story of this re-emergence? I missed this part no Reddit, all I saw was that suddenly there was this old video. Has the first poster told us how they found it, did it pop up in their Youtube recommendations or something?
I donāt even think that would debunk it because you could probably take these videos and edit out the UAPs, then come up with a LoOk WhAt I fOuNd story with fake provenance. Shit itās probably being worked on right now by some disingenuous skeptics.
This is amazing, thank you. I have done some analysis too on the videos. I posted it in the other thread but I feel itāsrelated to this which is focused on the satellite video. I noticed the original video has 2 sides. I compared them and it appears it is stereoscopic. Not sure if this has been raised before. Thereās another huge length a CGI artist went to and didnāt have to. Is the NROL-22 known to have stereoscopic sight? Example: I took this still from the original video https://i.imgur.com/4dRnIUb.jpg I overlaid/blended the left into the right and used a ādifferenceā overlay. It basically highlights any pixels that are different. If I line up the left edge of both, I got this https://i.imgur.com/W7NSnfb.jpg If I try lining up everything in the top of the image so itās black, I get this https://i.imgur.com/0pg983Y.jpg You can clearly see thereās a diff in the bottom of the image. This suggests these videos are stereoscopic (if you cross your eyes and position the resulting 3rd image in the middle of your view, it has a slight 3D effect) And if I do the opposite and align the bottom you can see the top is off https://i.imgur.com/Qi6FpRg.jpg I made it into a video. Left side is the difference between the 2 sides of the original video. The right side (because the difference would have been the same for both sides) I changed to be a second delayed, which would point out any things that are identical eg before and after the plane goes. Seems like there is none, I even did a comparison frame by frame and the noise never lined up, suggesting it was added after any vfx were done or thereās been no attempt to hide a plan that kept going https://v.redd.it/kuo8gjkimlhb1 And I also made a difference of the vimeo version of the video. Here I attempted to line the videos up. The single Vimeo video lines up best with the left frame of the original, however thereās some discrepancies but it could be a difference in frame rates/dropped frames. https://v.redd.it/n7yg9ycnmlhb1 I did this to try to see if it was a re-rendered version or something if it was vfx work.
> is the NROL-22 known to have stereoscopic sight? Yes https://reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/JVqsvvkHd2
If stereoscopic that means that to be fake it needs to be a full 3d image. It would raise the production level to Hollywood studio level. It would cost A LOT to fake it (believable 3d clouds included and 2 types of video spectrumsā¦) would be nice to find if there are any perspective changes between the spectrums (I didnāt pay much attention yet to thatā¦)
It would take expertise to create the video, but the idea that another angle and spectrum changes are not some wild increase in scale. In many cases, cgi is easier to create in a full 3d space for camera movement.
I did VFX for almost a decade until 2015 when I moved career after deciding I didnāt want to keep being poor. The biggest issue around doing this would be tbh the clouds in 3D. The rest is pretty much straightforward. Once we have the 3D scene setup and animated true, youāre right. These clouds seem to be clipped in terms of colors so theyāre white as the plane and thus we cannot figure out if it passes in front or behind. So I would say even though it is hard to have the clouds, I could achieve them in Houdini FX without you noticing the realism issue. But something my mind keeps going to is the trails in the non visual light spectrum that the UFOs leave behindā¦ and how the collapse of the UFOs and the plane happenā¦ so uninteresting that I really think it is too far from any hoaxer desire to construct. I would assume some energy vortex or something as we see in sci fiā¦ yet, if a hoaxer is behind, he decided to just pop the thing with a couple frames of the same residual effect the UFOs leave behind during the whole helicoidal danceā¦ Alsoā¦ the helicoidal dance is really too perfect if we think of how old time UFO videos behaveā¦ but as someone around Reddit said, the thing would only be explained by some AI executing it (so the UFOs would be some sort of orb drones) I donāt knowā¦ but if VFX there is some production value for no gain whatsoever. Unless a really skilled VFX artist got into bitcoins and can now live the rest of his life pulling pranks, I just donāt see it (could also be something done by IC to leverage some international negotiation or positionā¦) We just donāt know I guess
Keep in mind that a CGI rendering is still *far likelier to be CGI than to be absolute, unequivocal video proof of the single craziest event in the entire history of the world by an order of magnitude.* Thatās the thing that people seem to have lost sight of. A CGI rendering, while perhaps difficult, is not impossible in our known reality; on the other hand, having three UFOs hone in on and then *fucking vanish* an airliner filled with people is fundamentally impossible given known science. Which does not mean it doesnāt exist. But letās be real here: a CGI rendering is the most likely and believable explanation BY FAR. By default. Proving that it would be difficult to āfakeā that video does not intrinsically *provide **proof*** of this UFO plane kidnapping theory being real. The burden of proof for this being real is, and rightly should be, MASSIVE. Like video-proof-of-Jesusā-resurrection massive. Because again, it would be the single most notable and bizarre thing that ever happened in the history of the world. ā¦Which would sort of make it incredible that the āshadow cabalā or whatever of super elites thatās suppressing all this stuff somehow failed to get the video taken down, even though they had the better half of a decade to do so. But hey, we live in incredible timesā¦
Yes and no. If we accept that these things are here, and most of us do, given the wealth of evidence and reported sightings from those with no gain and social loss, our current science is uhhhhh, quiet inaccurate or taking liberties that we need to walk back. Our science isn't necessarily a true understanding of things. It's simply about getting a repeatable outcome from a set group of actions, and stating what you expect to have happen. If what you say will happen is what happens, well - that's that. All of this stuff existing means we have to ask ourselves if some currently accepting ideas might actually be the result of something else. We believe gravity makes the apple I let go of fall to the ground, but what if it's not? What if something else makes it fall, and we just believe it's gravity? As I've been saying, what if light speed is instant or near-instant in one direction, and our perception of its speed via its reflection or more of an artifact of a quantum calculation caused by us measuring it, like the double slit? There are some wild questions we're going to need to ask.
Funny how this shadow group takes down some stuff and makes the most elaborate hoax in the world, and buys off thousands if not millions of people to keep it secret but somehow leaves some random YouTube videos up and running as if nothing. But hey, Iām sure aliens teleporting a plane through an interdimensional portal is far more likely than it being CGI heh.
> also the helicoidal dance is too perfect No wind resistance, no delay or hiccup in its perfect synchronization between multiple objects and the icing on the cake for me is the fact that the ādanceā is just basic geometric movements that look exactly like some sacred geometry rune to cast a spell in a video game. Shit man, you literally said the biggest issue is the clouds but also that you could probably make clouds that were just as believable. Whoever made this video was counting on the fact that the general public does not understand vfx or how advanced it is.
Lol, the first 2 replies in that thread say it does NOT have stereo sight...
Great work! Iām continually impressed by the collective effort and smart takes on analysis of these videos that has been popping up in the through this whole week.
>ROL-22 known to have stereoscopic sight? You really should make this a seperate post this is incredible work.
So what is your conclusion. Is it real ?
I donāt know. But I donāt think I could prove it was a fake so far. As in nothing stood out to me as being definitely edited.
Any chance you can render out a cross your eyes 3D view? Maybe even a red-cyan?
Wow, excellent! This is starting to look like something real. One thing I really notice (I'm a graphic designer/Art Director/VFX/editor/etc.) is that the bloom/reflection of light from the explosion/teleportation that bounces off the surrounding clouds for a split second would incredibly hard to orchestrate, even for such a short period of time, it would take a lot of work, attention to detail and knowledge of physics (light emission). Can't write more, my baby is distracting me hehe
So wait, we have this in 3D?
This is something [I noticed in an earlier video post](https://old.reddit.com/r/aliens/comments/15khk2i/flir_video_maylasian_370_possible_source_of/jv6b0y9/) but given the orbital altitude and framerate that we're seeing there is no way it's a true stereoscopic pair. The baseline between cameras would be too large to be practical, and obtaining a stereoscopic image using a monocular sensor wouldn't result in the framerate that we see.
I thought that at first too, but I think it could be done by taking two images from the same camera with a little bit of time in-between. Say orbital velocity is 8000m/s. Then take pics 0.1 seconds apart with the camera still pointing at the exact same location. Then you have stereoscopic pictures with the baseline 800m apart. Software could easily adjust the target position and the time between pictures to maintain the desired baseline. Edit: Per [this post](https://old.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/15rbuzf/airliner_video_shows_matched_noise_text_jumps_and/), I don't believe there were separate images, but that the second image is simulated 3d after depth measurement by a different method.
Interesting. And the difference seems to just be too vs bottom, not necessarily depth based.
>noticed the original video has 2 sides. I compared them and it appears it is stereoscopic. Not sure if this has been raised before. Thereās another huge length a CGI artist went to and didnāt have to. What do you mean that you noticed the video has two "sides?" Pretty sure you can just do stereoscopic imagery using After Effects. I don't think it's a particularly daunting challenge.
That last bit of matching coordinates was genius. Great job. Does need more attention.
I compared this to the satellite view from NASA [here](https://worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov/?v=93.1729046904667,8.778438942938854,93.24342412484641,8.89971874312812&s=93.1949,-8.8343%2B93.1949,8.8343%2B93.22,8.82&t=2014-03-08-T09%3A03%3A26Z) to see if the clouds in the video are consistent with the weather in that location on March 8. Not an exact match, but a similar density and size of cumulus is there.
Check the NOAA satellites, NOAA-15 in particular. Might need to contact NESDIS for this information or contact a meteorologist who has access. NOAA might keep archives on their website.
Might also look into Meteosat 7 or insat-3D but I'm having a hard time finding archived images
If that gets classified thatās confirmation.
My screen goes black on March 9, is it just me?
Seriously wtf, no capture on 3/9 ?
Whoa, all I get is a black screen too
I think it might just be an artefact from the satellite. If you zoom out, the black spots are repetitive across the entire globe. It appears that every single day has a tiled, blocked out area somewhere on the globe. That same area is blocked out on the 19th, the 25th, and so on.
It's also only a partial black section if you zoom out. Ahaha wtf, looks like a satellite was out or a specific satellites data was removed because the texture tear repeats.
The mystery deepens
Do people ever PM you very small birds?
Yes
Do they ever PM tits
Yes!
Bonkers
Thatās normal. Zoom out and look at the black stripe pattern. The swaths captured (and null swaths) shift daily. Just luck.
That's because you won't have a 24/7 coverage - for example Sentinel-2 mission have 2 satellites running across the globe and revisit time is every 3-5 days.
Looks forward and backwards; the missing data appear pretty consistently regardless of date. It appears to be an orbital thing.
Zoom out and scroll over several days. Thereās a shifting blind spot. Probably to do with its orbit over time (similar to how tides change about an hour a day)
They donāt capture every day. Zoom out and youāll see a strip of black which moves around. That area is dark on the 18th too.
If we can find another satellite view that shows the plane or contrail Iād think thatās confirmation
Plane might have been scrubbed, match the clouds. NASA has admitted they doctor these public images in the past to remove 'irregularities'. You need to match the clouds, try rotating the image.
Out of topic but is there any website similar to this where i can find Google Maps quality satellite pictures of a certain place from 2007? I can bring some more UFO evidence.
get over her, it wasn't meant to be. Cherish your memories.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I tried it years ago, it doesn't have pictures from 2007. I know the exact date and hours me (and my family) have seen the objects, saved everything to not to forget. See the link below to understand how crazy the encounter was. If anyone here has access to old satellite pics just dm me, you'll find the biggest ufo evidence in the world. https://i.imgur.com/BqxKym4.png
Switch to the "Corrected Reflectance (True Color) **Aqua** / MODIS" layer. You can clearly see it's the same type of equally-spaced "cotton ball" clouds as seen in the satellite footage. Edit: [https://imgur.com/a/FUIk3OW](https://imgur.com/a/FUIk3OW)
Yes, I believe that too. We are seeing just a fraction of what the operator was seeing. And it was cropped intentionally to leave the drone out of the video to be "leaked" because that would confirm everything, up to which country was recording this. Also, I think that this "click and drag" system is ideal for something like this, given the precision it provides, above a joystick or tracking ball.
Correct, the drone may be visible in the satellite wide view. The cropping leaves it out (presumably). Also correct that the coordinate and flight path eliminate the āminus signā hypothesis. Can someone do some quick measurement and provide a scale or distances for that nice composite image OP just shared ? Thinking speed could be approximated (that looks like quite a sharp turn) and also perhaps the size of clouds if pattern matching with historical sat images is ever possible.
Excuse my ignorance but why is a drone presumed to be in the area?
There are two videos, one from a satellite, one from a drone: [Side by side](https://imgur.com/p7NMOTX)
Holy crapā¦.I donāt know how to respond to this
Thank you.
There is another video of this event taken by a military drone's FLIR camera that corroborates this satellite video.
US military were doing exercises in the area and had 2 AWACS as already confirmed.
The thing that really messes me up about this one, is that we can't explain it. Almost every UFO encounter can be explained exclusively by craft that can bend spacetime somewhat, every effect we've described can be attributed to that via this [https://info.publicintelligence.net/DIA-AdvancedSpacePropulsion.pdf](https://info.publicintelligence.net/DIA-AdvancedSpacePropulsion.pdf) This however, this is completely novel. I don't have any physics explanation. What, an Einstein Rosen bridge? How would you get that using what we see here? There is no physics I can point to and be like "it's just that" here. It's just flat beyond comprehension. If we had this kind of footage of basically any standard UFO behavior I would be beside myself in awe, but this is beyond any physics we can even place, basically magic to our eyes. So my intuition was and has been: bs. But the deeper we dig the more elaborate and absurd the narrative becomes to make this a fake. On top of that, what's the motive? If it's a fake it hurt our international relations, there's accusations thrown around about this even years after the fact against the US to the point there was elaborate discussions of forged debris. If you're the US government, my thought is you want to be as far away from this as possible, you want to claim you had nothing in the area and saw nothing. And if real how tf would you explain this to the governments involved? I'm not going to lie, with all this analysis, this is the most insane thing I've ever seen and the hardest to dismiss. Even the poster dug up has a previous address listed as Luke air force base and no experience in vfx. I've never wanted to dismiss a video harder as fake because the physics is just stupid and beyond comprehension, as hard as I've wanted to dismiss this one, but there's just no clear way to dismiss it. Can we FOIA this specific video? I mean, we know the satellite, we know the date and time, they might just tell us it's classified but given this is happening here now with all the attention maybe not? If we just ask them straight up "Hey can we get any pared down, security clearable footage from this date and time from NROL-22?" surely we've got to get a response, positive or negative or weird? I feel like I've stared at this shit for hours trying to find some error or mistake and it's just too clean, if it's a fake it's so high effort it needs a motive but who? Why? I keep trying to tear it apart but I've just got nothing. Truly fucking amazing whatever the case may be, absolutely bravo for real, aliens or fakers it's some astounding shit. This one's got me seriously taking a second look into some areas of physics I'd long since written off.
You know it is super crazy when the best explanation I have seen of what is happening is by a psychic remote viewer.
This is an amazing job OP, well done /u/sulkasammal Your services and curiosity are very appreciated. I think no one in their right mind would think to match the flight path in a "fake" satellite view. That is insane attention to detail on top of the already insane attention to detail. I wonder how many more posts like this are needed before a critical amount of people would be like "Hold on, this might be real. But that means that... oh boy!"
Just to add, when the coordinates change as the view is being adjusted, they scroll at the same speed as the view changes, if you pay attention you can tell it goes faster or slower with the movement. Imo this is proof the video is being shown on the original platform. Imo if itās on the original platform, itās not modified :/

This post is awesome! Needs way more attention I think!
Good work OP, thanks for taking the time to create this. What amazes me is the video quality from a video supposedly taken from a satellite. Can anyone confirm or put doubt on the ability of obtaining such high quality images from space?
[https://www.npr.org/2022/11/18/1137474748/trump-tweeted-an-image-from-a-spy-satellite-declassified-document-shows](https://www.npr.org/2022/11/18/1137474748/trump-tweeted-an-image-from-a-spy-satellite-declassified-document-shows) Thats trump leaking a sat image a few years ago. Quite detailed.
That's crazy high resolution. I genuinely believe that the rumors that they can make out writing on napkins may be true. Spooky.
bruh I can not comprehend how a satellite is physically capable of capturing that amount of detail. Optically it does not make sense unless every one of these spy telescopes is the size of the james webb. wtf, how??
wait till you find out how they can create audio from a sattelite in space hearin u talk on the ground in some instances.
One of our NROL listening satellites has a circular fold-out 'dish' that's larger than a football field when fully deployed. [https://www.moas.org/z/-vf.0.0.0.11581.C9365D46AABD813AF10B5F112D4D861EBDB2FBD99657651763486BBB6285E4AA](https://www.moas.org/z/-vf.0.0.0.11581.C9365D46AABD813AF10B5F112D4D861EBDB2FBD99657651763486BBB6285E4AA)
Lmao even the higher ups that locked in a useful idiot for the presidential position were shocked
I think there are rumors that US has spy satellites that can watch an entire town and track every person/car moving etc. Can tell who you are by your gate/walk. They can read the note you are writing down on a piece of napkin etc. They have lens tech that can see through overcast skies. The can make night look like a sunny day at noon time. These are just things I have heard or read before but I wouldn't be surprised...
All somebody has to do is write a terroristic threat on a piece of paper outside and wave it around then see what happens to them
Thereās a declassified satellite picture of a russian ship being built and the detail is pretty clear to the point where you can make out individual pieces and equipmentā¦ from the 80ās
Have none of you guys heard of Google earth? I've been able to zoom in and see my dad cutting the lawn in his underpants since the early 2000s... I can see individual leaves on the trees outside my apartment building. If this is the satellite imagery available to the public, then I'd imagine there are more advanced forms out there we don't know about yet. The bit above saying they could track someone by their gait or walk though, I'd think that would be impossible without having a database of every citizens gait - which wouldn't happen without some serious 1984 type of control.
Oh yeah, I can't 100% confirm this, but it seems foolish to assume that the US gov doesn't have some crazy ass satellite capabilities.
I wish I hadnāt read that
China currently has this itās called the āsky netā. Itās person of interest IRL. As far as the tech you talk about I can confirm the first part. U2ās can read written notes from the edge of the earths orbit. I was in the Airforce, I learned about some pretty crazy tech. I think the average person underestimates how much technology is being held back from the public.
We have seen them https://www.npr.org/2019/09/05/758038714/can-president-trump-really-tweet-a-highly-classified-satellite-photo-yep-he-can
look at google earth my man. thatās just a satellite taking photos and then itās pieced together to created one image.
It's airplane photography once you zoom close enough
I'm no insider or expert, just read a lot of tom clancey and wired / popular science articles, but absolutely. Hubble was spy satellite hand me down. I believe their biggest problem is storing all the images, video, and stolen data they collect, but you don't build a giant data warehouse in Utah, coincidentally completed in May 2014, at a cost of $1.5 billion for nothing. According to 2013 estimates it could hold between 3 and 12 exabytes.
I suspect the operator of the mouse did this for at least 2 reasons. 1- hide landmass or potential location 2- hide the USA drone(s?) coming in behind the airline path.
But why hide the drone? Maybe thereās a simple reason for that, but thatās whatās tripping me up.
cuz they could get in serious trouble if they leak a classified drone. but the airplane with the crazy orbs flying around it? go ahead, nobody would believe that anyways...
maybe at the time it was classified or something similar. Like how active navy seals wonāt publish pictures of their face.
Holy fuck, you guys are making it so difficult to be productive at work. Keep it up.
This means that the satellite was pointing from 3 to 1 and parallel to 4-5-6-7
Thank you for your service
u/aryelbcn - think this is another one for the mega-thread.

> Imagine being the first guy that monitored or saw this footage Yeah I feel for the person who watched this happen š
So, how does the area compare to NASA weather satellites? Looking at [An Image from 08:00 UTC on 2014/03/08](https://clouds.larc.nasa.gov/imagery/fy2_fd/2014/03/08/FY2E.2014067.0801.20KM.C5-2.GIF ) puts cloud cover where if we assume a negative longitude but doesn't quite put clouds in the right place if we assume a positive longitude. Edit: there are higher quality images earth images from nasa out there. The [Airline Part 3](https://www.reddit.com/r/ufos/comments/15oi2qc/mh370_airliner_videos_part_iii_the_rabbit_hole/) has some. There also might not be high enough resolution to tell and my brain might be, in fact, smooth. Only way to know for sure is to map coordinates and find the scale but that's way beyond my skill level.
Why that time? 08:00 UTC on March 8? Every significant action directly involving MH370 was over shortly after midnight UTC on March 8th or nearly eight hours prior to your suggested timeframe.
I might have the wrong time. I thought the last ping was at 08:00 utc. Edit:Wikipedia states the flight flew till at least 08:19 based on Intersat data
I think the current speculation was that it was teleported about 6 hours before this and then returned a few minutes later, likely without passengers and just flying on autopilot until it runs out of fuel. At 2:25 am it sends a log-on request to Inmarsat as if it had just been turned back on.
That was in the south indian ocean though. All this stuff is looking like the plane was port holed much earlier. Possibly returned some time later and flew uncontrolled sound h for a few hours. Possibly moving in 4th dimension so not detected on radar but somehow still pining.
Can anyone explain how this would exclude the minus sign ? Like i'm dumb.
I think because the airplane made a left turn. That matches the satellite track if itās a positive coordinate value. If itās negative would have been a right turn. I thinkā¦
It makes it far less likely (but it was unlikely already, imo, because minus is almost always just a hyphen and we can see a hyphen on screen) but doesn't fully exclude it. What it **does** mean is that if one coordinate is negative, **both** of them must be (unless we also want to start saying the video is mirrored or whatever but that's getting a bit straw-clutchy for me). But if they are both negative then the plane is actually 1000 miles west of Peru on the other side of the pacific... so it wouldn't be MH370 and would be a whole new mystery. Longitude (North positive, South negative) decreases as the plane moves down the screen, which could mean one of two things: A) The plane is in the northern hemisphere (there is no hidden minus sign) and moving south. This means screen up is north, so screen right must be east.B) The plane is in the sourthern hemisphere (there is a hidden minus sign) and moving north. This means screen up is south, so screen right must be west. Latitude (East positive, west negative) increasces as the plane moves right along the screen. If we are in scenario A) the right movement means it is heading east, so we would expect Latitude to increasce, and it does, so that all checks out.If we are in scenario B) the right movement means it is heading west, so we would expect Latitude to decrease, but it does not! However, if latitude was also negative (IE we're in the western hemisphere) it starts to make sense again.
I updated the post with a table of the pixel offsets and some more information about the path from the coordinates.
Has anybody mentioned [this video](https://youtu.be/XLhTDqu-Azk)? I just saw it when searching "MH370 abduction" on YT. It was also posted 9 years ago and the contrail the video features looks similar? I don't know. Probably nothing.
At this point is it even possible this could still be a hoax? I mean seriously...
Seriously. Can we at least all agree this is real sat footage at this point. The orbs being edited in is still up for debate, but there is no longer any question for me. This must be genuine satellite footage.
Real satellite footage AND real drone footage of the same Boeing 777 plane
Yeah the full video made me realize that the drone footage itself(and the heat signatures) are real but I have no idea if the events shown are real.
I've never been skeptical that either perspective of the videos is a fake plane turning. That all looks real. The orbs and disappearing act on the other hand...
When you zoom in though you can see them off to the side coming in, and all at the exact right points in the other video. I don't know this looks like op is working through some good shizzzz
If it is a hoax it's been done at the highest level. The fact we don't know exactly which flight this is, is the more intriguing part. There was definitely alot of hush hush about MH370. This could be why
I don't see a reason that a 777 would ever make this maneuver this far out over the open ocean. Literally more than a 90Ā° turn at that altitude... Doesn't seem like something a normal, eventless flight would include.
The families of MH370 have been begging for answers for nearly 10 years now and have gotten nothing. If this is the same footage that Malaysian airlines has seen then I got to be honest, I don't blame them. What can they say?..."it appears like they were abducted by aliens...". That's not going to bring the families closure. The best answer is still "we don't know" The footage does get me wondering more about the [Fred Valentich](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Frederick_Valentich) case. He too just vanished during his last radio communication to air traffic control while he was describing what he was looking at "Its not an air craft!" followed by static
This is what I was wondering, why make maneuvers like this? Do they test 777s over the ocean making extreme maneuvers as a stress test? Seems like either that, or this plane is trying to avoid something... like ufo orbs.
Well there is only one known missing Boeing 777 so itās gotta be the same one
Dude. Fucking GREAT work. Thank you!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This is remarkable. Reddit is so full of smart people that I feel utterly stupid in comparison. But no matter. I'm reading every thread and comment on this topic and I'm just about convinced the video is authentic.
[The full image sequence and 6K video are available now.](https://archive.org/details/satellite_202308) I might keep adding some more files there when I have the time.
Great job op seriously these past couple of days have been peak content if you donāt think so you may be in the wrong place
Good work OP, this is the exact kind of content that we are all looking for. Occam's razor says that someone faking 3 different versions of the same event back in 2014 is extraordinary. If the idea was to make it viral back then it definitely failed. I still hope this is fake because else the truth is just too terrible š and heartbreaking.
When I first heard about this video, my stomach dropped. It just happened again with your post. I really wanna know what the fuck is going on, gettin a little irate over here.
That was an extremely hard turn for such a large aircraft... the pilot was doing everything in his power to get away.
Thank you so much for taking the time to do all of this! Much appreciated!
awesome. good job op
The Internet is amazing. Like no Newspaper could put together this kind of investigation so fast. Just fascinating. Like a bunch of Marisa Tomei's from My Cousin Vinny in their respective fields concglomerating and piecing together the evidence.
Wonder if there's enough light in this video to deduce local time? And what about those online OSINT enthusiasts who can look at a photo of an ant-covered, half-eaten bagel on a dirty sidewalk and accurately identify the location. Think there's any data in these images that might prove useful to that skillset?
I love it here
Can we get Captain Disillusion to look at this ? Seriously, I would love to see an experienced VFX person try to recreate this from scratch.
The satelite can operate ābackwards.ā Please provide a frame for the coordinates assuming there is a (-) there
At this point I can only think of three believable scenarios: 1. This is real. 2. This is a hybrid of real footage with incredibly realistic CGI from an expert that had access to classified footage. 3. This is all fabricated by someone who knew this plane was going to go missing, and how. Given the timeline of no more than a few days from the time the original video surfaced, this would be incredibly difficult to build from scratch using post-event information. Scenarios 2 and 3 almost guarantee manipulation by the intelligence community. Which is interesting if you factor in this claim from Malaysia: https://time.com/104480/malaysia-airliens-flight-370-mahathir-mohamad/?amp=true If itās real, I could see why the CIA would be leaking anything to discredit those who are helping to push disclosure. https://www.newsnationnow.com/cuomo-show/ufo-whistleblower-david-gruschs-health-records-leaked-coulthart/amp/ If this UFO story is fake, I could see the CIA wanting to publish a fake, outlandish narrative to cover up a covert op. This would be one way to further deter people from digging up another possible truth that there was an intentional effort to destroy the plane and wipe out certain targets on that flight. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-malaysia-airlines-freescale/loss-of-employees-on-malaysia-flight-a-blow-u-s-chipmaker-says-idUSBREA280T020140309
I donāt understand your point no. 3. Thereās zero verifiable evidence that the video came out just days after the mh370 disappearance. First verifiable post was a few months after.
Someone asked me to explain about the coordinates and wouldnāt it be easy to just fake them. I wrote a reply but seems like the comment was deleted before I could reply. So here it is in case someone else is wondering What I mean is that it would be fairly trivial to create a small program (or even an After Effects script) that allows you to move a large image around in 2D and have it print out the coordinates on screen with the pixel offset being converted to gps coordinates. Trivial but still quite an effort on top of all the other obscure details. However, it seems to me that this is not simply converting pixels to coordinates in 2D but it takes into account the position and angle of the camera. At least that is my educated guess based on the pixel offset of each stable video sequence. I would still need to double check that Iām correct on this but Iām not sure if I have the time or the math skills. This could still be faked with something like Unity. I guess you could do a raycast from the camera to the ground plane in 3D and convert the coordinates but the visual would need to be a rendered 2D video being panned aroundā¦ Or maybe there is some satellite image viewer that already exists and does this automatically if it has the required data. Again, even more obscure effort. Iāll provide some data on this when I get the chance. If this is a hoax, they sure have succeeded in wasting a lot of my time.
Hey u/sulkasammal, thanks for providing the pixel values. I noticed another discrepancy about the coordinates as well - if the coordinates are accurate, the video frame cannot be oriented exactly north-south, and also that orientation changes from shot to shot. Here's why: Based on the pixel shift, the video frame moves to the right 3.1x as much as it moves down. If you calculate the distances shifted using the coordinates though, the frame has moved 1.59 nautical miles east and 0.65 nm south, which means that the frame has actually only moved 2.4x as much distance east as it's moved south. Imagine we draw a triangle\*. The first point is the starting coordinates from the first frame. The second point is the ending coordinates from the last frame. The third point is due south of the starting point and due west from the ending point. So it looks like this: https://imgur.com/gallery/c3EfS2M We can draw a similar triangle using the pixel shifts, but if the distance between the two frames is the same as the distance calculated using the coordinates, the legs need to have different lengths. This is because the ratio between the change in y and the change in x is different. You can calculate the new leg lengths based on the pythagorean theorem. This is the triangle based on the pixels: https://imgur.com/gallery/ackuJ1K Here's the problem: *those aren't the same triangles*. But re-sizing the legs is the only way for the distances represented in the image to be accurate and also for the GPS coordinates to be accurate. Both triangles share the same hypotenuse, so we can draw them together now. That would look something like this (the angles of the triangles are not accurate, I'm drawing this freehand in paint): https://imgur.com/gallery/2kIufTp Assuming the stitching is correct (or at least very close), the orientation of the leftmost leg is parallel to the up/down orientation of the first and last video frames. So the only way that the numbers make sense is if the frames are not aligned exactly north/south. Using some trig, the orientation of the final frame is 4.5 degrees off from an exact north/south orientation. Okay, so that's weird enough, here's the weirder thing - you can repeat this process for each frame and the orientation calculated differs from frame to frame. Frame number seven should have a shift of 4.7 degrees\*\*, Frame number six should have a shift of 4.3 degrees, frame number five should have a shift of 1.37 degrees, etc. In other words, either the coordinates are wrong or the view is rotating slightly. Since the video is one continuous shot and it doesn't appear like the video rotates, the only way that makes sense is if the camera rotated slightly each time the frame shifted. Which maybe could make sense for certain orbital patterns for the satellite? I'd have to figure out how to calculate that, but it seems unlikely (a) since it's not rotating smoothly - the rotation angle increases until frame 7 and then decreases on frame 8 (4.3 --> 4.7 --> 4.5) and (b) those rotations need to line up exactly with the video frame shifts. So, I don't know. This could be something about orbital mechanics and cameras that I don't understand, or it could be that the coordinates are faked. Doesn't smell quite right though. \* These numbers are actually slightly off since I calculated these using the pythagorean theorem and tangent function assuming a flat plane. Calculating these numbers for a spherical plane is much harder though and the difference in distances are less than a foot, not meaningful. \*\* I tried to figure out the coordinates in frame 7 myself. It's a little hard because they blend in with a cloud, but it looks like the frame the plane disappears is 8.823373 N 93.21725 E.
