Russia: Amazing UFO filmed near Moscow, video
allnewsweb ^ | 3 May 2009 | Michael Cohen

A UFO was allegedly seen by a number of witnesses hovering above a shopping mall in a satellite town of Moscow in Russia early last month. One lucky witness managed to film the craft with astonishing results. The footage below shows the very clear outline of a disc shaped craft that suddenly vanishes towards the end of the clip.

The sighting took place in the town of Kashira, on the outskirts of Russia's capital city Moscow. The UFO was spotted above the well-known Kisharsky Shopping Mall, leading some local UFO researchers to speculate that it may have been tapping into the Mall's substantial energy system.

UFO sightings and footage have never been more frequent in Russia and many local ufologists believe that aliens will soon be openly revealing their presence on our planet.

How far would an object in a vacuum fall in the first second based upon Earth gravitational acceleration? After two second of falling in that acceleration field, how far would the person have fallen?

Quilting can be relaxing. Just finished this one.

The rate of fall in the first many seconds is less affected by the lack of the vacuum...it is only after the column of air has built up under the descender at higher speeds where the rate of acceleration slows.

Can you discern a difference in the ‘sky background’ light level where the object is visible right and left of the building? Appears the background is much lighter around the ‘object’ on the left side framing.

I don't see that, but since I've got absolutely nothing else to do this evening, I made a single PNG file of the 10 frames of the high-resolution version of the video that document the sudden leftward acceleration of the object and its subsequent disappearance. Frame 0 is the last frame in which the object is not moving; Frame 1 documents its first movement leftward, and so on to Frame 9, which shows its momentary reappearance from behind the building before disappearing for good. No later frame of the video contains an image of the object. Since the image file is about 1.5 MB, I'll just post a link to it:

Thnx. It appears several are trying to download it presently. I’ll click on it later. Thanks again.

At 32 ft/sec2 at the end of the first second the object will have fallen 32 feet. Do you agree? ... And if not, why not?

I disagree. The rate of acceleration is 32’/sec/sec. or 32’/sec. squared. That works out to 16’ in the first second, 46’ in the second second, 76’ in the third second. As an expert rated skydiver I have studied the phenomenon.

Someone very close to me is a world-class expert in remote control aviation models. He just watched the video twice, and said it's not an RC model for sure.

This same someone, along with his son and several neighbors, in the summer of 1977 at dusk, near Castle AFB in California, saw a disc much like this one three houses away from where he and his son were moving from the car to the front door; it was slowly cruising over the rooftops of the neighborhood. It, also, zipped away like that, into the sky, where it seemed to take the same place as a star ... the folks in the 'hood who'd seen it watched the star for quite awhile as the evening grew darker ... and finally went inside and to bed because standing around outside watching a star wasn't cutting it.

Watching the video over my shoulder right now, he said "Yep, that's just the way it moved -- zip -- you turn your head and you miss it. It's like these things could go anywhere they want in plain daylight, and move so fast that people think they're crazy for seeing them. They turn their head and they miss it."

This someone is well educated, happens to have been tested to have an unusually high IQ, is technical, technological, and very close to aviation; he knows and knew very well that conventional expectations with regard to known physics would require a sonic boom. He also knows what he saw, and that no sonic boom occurred. After realizing that he either had a) to deny his own eyewitness or b) to accept that knowledge of science and physics is incomplete, he finally chose option B and went on to be insired by the fact that the truth is, we humans have very little idea of what is and isn't possible in the physical realm.

Let's do a little scratch math. Suppose the object traversed just 300 feet—the length of an American football field—from its stationary start on the right side of the building to its appearance on the left side of the building. That trip took about 10 frames of the video, or about four-tenths of a second since the video was shot at 25 frames per second. Let's call it half a second (that is, let's suppose the object is somewhat slower than that). To traverse 300 feet in half a second requires a speed of 600 feet per second, which is just over 400 miles per hour. But, remember, this has to be accomplished from a stationary start! And it's possible that the object was moving a bit faster than that and the distance it traversed was somewhat larger.

So here's a question for aviation buffs: Is there a man-made flying craft of decent size in existence today that can accelerate from zero mph to over 400 mph in half a second?

In a vacuum that is 16’ in the first second, 48” in the second second and 82’ in the third second.

The human organism cannot survive those kind of G forces. The starting, stopping, instant 90 degree turns?

An easier way to think about it...32’/sec/sec is the speed at the end of the first second...but at the start of the first second we were traveling 0’/sec...we average those out and end up 16’ below the starting point.

Have heard a couple things on that score:

1. the ‘envelope’ within the craft has a different contextual reality vis a vis inertial forces as seen from outside that envelope.

2. My relative asserted that we had craft that didn’t carry people that did the right angle at light speed stuff.

3. Some reports have talked of a kind of inertial damping mechanism. More have asserted that the envelope within the craft is just so different in terms of such inertial forces from the perspective of outside that envelope that it just is not a problem.
