You don't need to slam people in the future about the "Shuttle Sideways" issue, simply point them to my site:
www.gibsonridgesoftware.com/shuttle/shuttle.htm. I've updated it to include an image I produced tonight with my own camcorder. It verifies FreedomCalls' explanation of zoom, out of focus, and aperture combining to produce an image which can look like a rear view of the shuttle.
I wish I'd kept my original interpretation to myself. If I did, I wouldn't feel like such a fool and I'd have those 2GB's of data transfer back (I only have 3GB DT/month included in my hosting account!).
Great job! I'm impressed that you pursued forward by using your own video recorder in a great investigation. You may want to send the link to Whoraldo on FOX, I heard tonight he was making that mistake. BTW, it's only a mistake if a person stops trying to learn.
