Where did you get that information?

for the ship to go out of focus at the exact time and to the exact degree of blur, it would have to be part of the video there is no faking this effect, no re-creating it.

Vue 5 Infinite - Animation
Animation
Objects, materials, atmospheres, clouds, waves, trees... everything springs to life, instantly achieving realistic motion thanks to e-on's unique Dynamic Motion Reaction™ technology.
Creating convincing fly-throughs of your architectural projects is as easy as plotting a path and selecting a type of motion (e.g. "airplane" to make the objects bank as they turn)! You can even add automatic spin and vibration effects for added realism!
Of course, you have full control over the animation process. Copy, adjust and delete keyframes, precisely control time splines, apply variable motion blurring, create simple forward dynamic linking, handle field interlacing, non square pixels, flicker reduction...and preview your animations at any time using the fast preview renderer.
[...]
Animation rendering
Significant effort has gone into providing flexible and powerful options that let you optimize the quality of your animations versus render time in the way that best fits your needs (and schedule).
E-on’s Hybrid 2.5D technology ensures fast and accurate rendering of motion blur and depth of field.

Will I get matching motion blur between native elements and Vue environments?
Motion blur settings in Max/Maya/LightWave/Cinema 4D will also affect Vue elements. Motion blur is equally applied to all the elements in the scene. You can disable motion blur for the Vue scene, as you would for any native object. Post-processed motion blur effects and Vue 2.5 motion blur cannot be used with xStream.

Rendering And Animation
Blurry effects (soft shadows, blurred reflections/refractions, depth of field)
These effects will greatly improve the realism of your renders, but will also make them considerably longer. While Bryce render times become ridiculously long as soon as you start using these effects, Vue seems to manage to keep render times reasonable. Also, one important thing is that Vue lets you adjust blurred reflections and refractions for each material independently.

If the pictures are not online you have to put them online first.

I'm sorry to say this, but if anyone believes the footage is from 1979 is incredibly gullible.
This vid comes with this caption
In 1979, some friends and I were messing around with a video camera in a slum area of town that had largely burned down and never been rebuilt.
The video camera was old, with a heavy, over the shouder separate deck, obsolete even then. We saw some stuff flying around the buildings. At first we thought they were kites or maybe some radio controlled toy planes. We never did figure out what they were, but we got some of the stuff on video. It appeared as if there were two things, one smaller than the other. They moved pretty fast, so we guessed they were light, like balloons. They would fly away, then come back, for about a half hour.
The tapes and camera ended up forgotten in a pile of junk in the basement.
I just dug out the tapes, which are disintegrating. Unfortunately, I can't get the audio to work, so the weird noise can't be heard. The old deck functions just well enough to watch a few inches at a time of the tape. After playing a few seconds, the heads have to be cleaned, and the tape has snapped in a few places. I'm transferring what survives to digital format, and posting it here for anyone who's interested in this sort of thing.
