Now that's an interesting one.

Can someone do the math on that and figure out how fast that thing is going?

Did you slow that down any? The video is choppy.

in about 2 to 3 seconds it covered quite a bit of ground.

6 secs to 9 seconds in the video.

Pretty sure I see bird feet in the 4th frame it appears in

EDIT

I didnt watch it on 720p the first time, now watching it on 720p I can see that it comes from behind the house....any chance at uploading the original somewhere so one of the local gurus can do some freezeframe and zoom analysis?

You can't do the math without knowing how far it is. If it's a bug two feet from the lens it's not so fast. If it really goes behind that palm tree then it's really moving, and I didn't hear any sonic boom.

Don't know why it's choppy but I would suspect it's due to Youtube compression and there's nothing I can do about it.

Can you upload the video to bittorrent?
And share the torrent link with everyone?

I said I looked really hard in the palm tree for the UFO but I want to give everyone a chance to do the same. Here is the palm tree from two frames. The first one is from the frame the UFO first appears in. The second one is the frame the UFO disappeared in the palm tree. I upped the brightness and contrast a little to help me look:

This is probably going to be my last post on this. I was going to upload the whole video but now it looks like there's no point. Someone said,"the UFO came from behind the house", and I thought, "Did it?". I went back to the video and looked at the frame before the UFO appears in the sky and found this:



It's hard to tell with the image reduced to fit on ATS but there is something the right size in front of the roof near the peak. It's not there in the frame before and the frame after is the first showing the UFO in the sky. In front of the roof means it's much closer and definitely passed in front of the tree. It must be blending perfectly with the tree at the limited resolution available from the video. I'm pretty sure now this is a bug. This has been fun and educational for me and I hope for those who showed an interest in it. Thanks for looking in.
