Mods, bear with me, as I'm aware there have been threads on this topic in the past. However, I feel they weren't started correctly and focused on Jose Escamilla's controversial and undependable distribution methods rather than on the actual subject matter itself. I feel this thread should stand alone. I ask responders to focus on the subject, rather than on their anger for not receiving proper service from Mr. Escamilla after paying for the online download of "Interstellar", which uses Microsoft DRM and has caused some issues. I understand that Mr. Escamilla should be accountable and timely in issuing refunds, however this is not what I'm focusing on, so I politely ask that you remain on subject. I do not have first hand experience with the broken downloads or refunds; I am merely addressing the people that have posted about it to get it out of the way. I also understand that there were some copyright issues with the YouTube videos below. I don't want that to be the focus of this either. I believe this topic deserves a more focused beginning, (which the other's lacked) in order to pick up some steam; hence the reason I've started this one. I hope it doesn't get locked. Here goes:

Amateur astronomer John Lenard Walson claims to have devised an "apparatus" composed of a common CCD camcorder and a commercial grade telescope that is capable of zooming and focusing in on deep space objects (which appear to the naked eye as regular stars) in such a way, that their shape and structure becomes clearly visible.

In the latest release from independent UFO documentary filmmaker Jose Escamilla, titled simply, "Interstellar", Mr. Escamilla claims to provide half an hour of "live" footage recorded directly through Mr. Walson's contraption. The images are incredible and shocking, to say the least. If the footage is real, this could be the biggest discovery in history. The images show intricate and structured objects of vast proportions, clearly not of naturally occurring origin. Jose and John have taken to calling them "starships". They claim these starships are orbiting earth at varying distances; some in very deep space and others closer than I dare to imagine! I will admit that some of the objects appear to be nebulas or gas formations, but others appear more "intentional" or anomalous to be natural, at least in my opinion. Mr. Walson claims to have received attention from NASA astronomers as well as prestigious universities for his discovery and has stated that he will disclose his technique to the world at large at some point in the near future. The images below are only a tease. Watch the videos!

There's a thread here which contains more images and some discussion as to what they may be. I haven't seen the movie "Interstellar", just the pictures that Mr Lenard had posted to Space.com, and a couple of other sites. Some certainly look as though they may be the ISS, other perhaps satellites? I don't know, I find it hard to believe that these things are out there, and with the vast number of eyes trained to the heavens Mr Lenard seems to be the only person who has spotted them. Perhaps there is a culture of secrecy at work, but then there are many amateur stargazers in the world. Surely more than one would come forward.

I'm interested in this "contraption" and would like to know more about how it's supposed to work, I mean, is it really capable of "zooming and focusing in on deep space objects (which appear to the naked eye as regular stars) in such a way, that their shape and structure becomes clearly visible" or is it just giving the appearance of structure? For instance, I'm short sighted, without my glasses on what are pinpoints of light to a normal eye appear to me as being veined structured orbs. Is this not a similar phenomena?

I also find it interesting that it's brought to us by Jose "Rods" Escamilla, via, as you elude to, an unhappy medium which has left at least some feeling hard done by.

I don't know, what we have are interesting images that raise more questions than they answer. The bottom line is I don't know what the hell they are, and I am yet to see someone who says they do, and can explain what they are in a convincing fashion.

I didn't realize you had such a large thread going on this! I missed it entirely, I apologize. I had seen a few small ones. I'm happy to at least shine some light your way. )

This subject matter you are mentioning has been discussed extensively
before here under several titles. Your thread is not providing anything
new or relevant to this story MetisElara, in fact it's just a new promo
attempt for the Interstellar movie providing the same repeated links
we all know already. Therefore what's your connection with Escamilla
or JLW ?

Let me ask you. If you are so interested in promoting this movie that
must mean you have seen it already by paying the price. Then why
don't you talk about the content of the film, your comments and
opinions. Why don't you describe the important issues for example
was John Lenard interviewed by Escamilla ? Did John Lenard appear
on camera ? Was there any other important interview ? Was there
any actual location shown in the film ?

Was there any demonstration of the mentioned telescope and camera
in the film ? Were the images analyzed by actual image experts ?
Were the astronomers and NASA people mentioned by Escamilla
interviewed talking about those images and their opinion ?

Finally, was there an actual investigation on this story presented in
the film ? If there was an investigation can you tell me what kind of
investigation was made and where are the evidences besides
the images we all know ? Are the images authenticated by CGI
experts as not artificially created ? These are basic steps in any
professional investigation.

In my opinion this story is far away to be conclusive, in fact there are
still a whole bunch of questions regarding the images shown and the
information provided by Escamilla. I'm still skeptic about this film and
as long as I don't get the answers to all the questions I asked I don't
see any future in this case at all.

I will wait for Jose Escamilla to come clean showing all the elements
of his story, not only a bunch of rather questionable images that don't
have any references but also to show on camera who, where and
how were these images created. Until a convincing revelation is provided
for me the Interstellar story is just fiction.

I feel just a little bit attacked by you. Firstly, I am now aware that there has been an extensive discussion on the subject. I was not aware before, and have apologized. If you had scrolled just a little bit before quoting me and attacking me, you'd have noticed it. I did run a search, and I missed the thread entirely. Implosion's title for his thread did not sound off in my head as anything related to the topic. You use harsh words when you say I have not provided anything new or relevant. Well, excuse me Mr. High and Mighty! I was only trying to create a succinct beginning to the topic for people to discuss. As I mentioned I didn't know that "you all knew" already.

Secondly, I have no affiliation with the film or John or Jose whatsoever. As a matter of fact, I had never heard of any of this until yesterday. From which I'm sure you can gather that no, I have not seen the film. Only what you see above and now the images on Space.com. However, I have now read Implosion's thread as well as others, and I can surmise from other's that have had the privilege to see it, that no, Mr. Lenard does not appear, is not interviewed, and does not demonstrate his technique. The film strictly shows half an hour of footage captured through the alleged device.

Are you a policeman or something? Where did you get that interrogative nature of yours!?
