So when we start going back through the footage, um, and this is anytime we like with this cow, we're going to go back and look at all the data that we have available to us leading up to this point and see if we can figure out and understand what stress that cow, if it's that a dog was out there chasing it, well, that explains it.
There's nothing strange about that.
So as we're looking at this footage, there's this object up in the sky.
Now, the reason why that object, I think, merits further investigation is for two things.
You could have a fly literally walking across the lens of your camera that could look identical to that.
We've seen it a million times before.
With our cameras, it's really hard to gauge depth perception.
How far away was that object?
This particular object, at one point during the video, it appears, and Eric's still doing further post-processing, but it appears to us that the object disappears behind the tree branch and then comes out the other side.
That's important because a fly would be in front of the tree branch, not behind it.
Well, why then that takes it to the next step.
And so and, you know, if we can prove absolutely that that's what happened is it went behind the tree.
That gives us an idea on distance.
For the object to look that big in the camera and at least be the distance of the trees, we now can start taking measurements that tell us the size of that craft.
And the size of that craft, if it's a fly flying one inch away from the screen, that explains why it looks like it's going 10,000 miles an hour.
In two frames, it's gone.
Well, it only went two inches.
It was nothing.
But if you're talking about a distance out there beyond the trees and it covered that amount of ground, now we can triangulate and we can see that for it to go that amount of ground, it'd be going like 1,000 miles an hour.
