Considering your quote actually answered your own question I fail to see your point in actually asking it. But even though im obviously repeating
myself...
The zoom in the clip is extremely smooth and fast. considering we are supposedly looking an object flying high and far in the sky there is no way it
can be that fast and that smooth if it was an actual zooming action of a camera filming an object high and far in the sky. The effect you see on the
clip happens quite nicely when you are filming a tv-monitor from a very close distance.
There are also cuts between the bowl objects and streaking object that have been masked with taking the shot way out of focus. If they only had kept
their hands off the zoom button and claim it was filmed from a properly set up camera stand it just might have looked remotely real. As I also point
out theres one second of the clip where the slideshow "effect" seems to fail for some reason and you can see something snaking smoothly at the
bottom of the view.
I hope this helps to clear out more disaprovements of my views about the footage in question.
