" Yes, BUT remember the videographer also mentioned he didn't notice the object until he was screening the video."

Good point. I remember that, too.

Sheesh...I think I'll sit back and read the thread.

G'nite, y'all!

If it is only a bug, why is the FBI involved now?

Illegal wiretap?

[seeker41]

HA HA, funny.

[spycatcher]

there is a website that shows you how to make these. you need video, not film. I think its a bug.

Far as rods go, I'll keep an open mind and allow for the possibility that they are some atmospheric equivalent of a jellyfish composed primarily of electromagnetic energy and differential amounts of trace gasses...

That was the first thing I thought of when I viewed the tape.

ALBANY -- FOX TV News reported on October 21, 2002, that a spear shaped object was caught on film passing above Albany International Airport during daylight hours as a commercial aircraft landed at the airport. The spear shaped object was moving at high speed and could be mistaken for a missile, but none was known to have crashed. The FBI is attempting to determine the cause of the video sighting. http://www.fox23news.com

It's just a rod. No need to be frightened. Think I'll turn in for the night.

[seeker41]

Not frightened, just curious. I never heard of these rods before today.

" Yes, BUT remember the videographer also mentioned he didn't notice the object until he was screening the video."

I was bothered by this...
He wouldn't see it if it was moving at a high rate of speed, was at a high altitude, and if his focus was elsewhere.

Check out the link in post 64. Seems the distance and size of the things can be very deceptive. No doubt they can move extremely fast though

[dixiechick2000]

What's a rod?

BTW, I emailed the link and should hear sometime in the morning.

NOW, I'm off...;o)

[Enough is ENOUGH]

Just kidding. Never heard of a rod before I read this. Is it the PC term for a N. Korean WMD?

Fox videographer accidentally shoots image of what he believes may be a UFO. The mysterious image now has the FBI involved.

Who wrote this moronic headline? If they don't know what it is, it's by DEFINITION a "UFO".

"UFO" does not mean "flying saucer from outer space", it means "Unidentified Flying Object".

So a "mysterious" flying thing on film isn't something that "may be a UFO", it bloody well *IS* a "UFO".

Sheesh.

I forgot something else. I'd really like to know what kind of camera the videographer was using, whether or not there was moving traffic close by, and if he was panning.

Rule OUT the ISS. Here's a picture through a telephoto lens or telescope at high magnification.

It would not appear as it does in the video, especially during daylight. And while I can't confirm (I can't find the tracking site I used to use for iridiums and ISS) I don't think the ISS was anywhere near Albany at the time.

So, as far as I can see it's either a bug or other object very close to the camera OR possibly a reflection and distortion of a passing vehicle with daytime running lights on.

One thing I know for sure, it's NOT a missle fired at the plane. Maybe it's Calypso Louie's Mothership.

Not sure what these rods are, thanks for your help.

[seeker41]

Will do, going to bed now. Thanks

[chuckles]

Looks like a missle to me, but where's the smoke trail? When it runs out of steam it comes back to earth so there should be wreckage or explosion.

[KneelBeforeZod]

they sent the tape to the FBI. I dont know if that counts as them being involved. Maybe they were working on tapes like this while our borders were being invaded by islamists.

[prisoner6]

Oh, and then there's this from a few days ago...
