Also, just think if you saw that flashing UFO from your backyard -- you'd think it was an airplane. You'd never think it was a satellite because that's really not what they look like. It's what airplanes look like.
as has been mention numerous times
Yes a satellite can look exactly liked that when rotating and catching light of reflective surfaces.
You say I have no point,
I keep posting based on things you say that just aren't reality.
The dot is the moon,
The camera as you can see is has a pretty close focus.
someone said take a pic of the moon with your phone, it will just be a dot.

I don't think I misquoted anything; my links that I mentioned are from 63 million kilometers, is accurate (I just double-checked)...

Yes, it's the Moon - it is not moving, the car is rotating giving the illusion that it is moving. Or, it's an alien mothership. I wish it was, but sadly it isn't.

Plus, the flashing UFO doesn't appear to be orbiting Earth, either. The flashing UFO seems to be flying through the darkness of space.
The video does show Earth at times, as a very bright blue image filling the screen. So if there were satellites, they would be expected to be visible around the image of Earth. Not floating through black space.

It's not our moon. It's the wrong size (too small), and wrong shape (too angular), not to mention it seems to have a glowing light or engine.

I also acknowledged that a spinning object can create a flashing effect. Of course.
The pattern of flashing is very extreme and seemingly artificial, with multiple flashes followed by a pause, then multiple flashes again. It's a very extreme pattern of flashing light, very regular / rhythmic.

How about you guys insist it's a rock, instead of insisting it's the moon, which it's clearly not. Just call it a rock or asteroid or whatever. It's MUCH more possible and believable that it's just a very strange, shiny rock / asteroid etc.

That's easy to explain. You didn't bother to use 'tineye' to find the original source.
And you still seem proud of being defiantly clueless about perspective.
Perspective: We all know what perspective is, and how it works. Come on man.
The fact is that perspective is just irrelevant to the conversation.
There are zero examples of the moon becoming so shrunken and distorted as that UFO that you guys keep accusing of being the moon.
Rather, all NASA photos, of the Earth and moon in space, show the moon keeping its roundness and general size properly.

Your link to a provincial newspaper in southern India was YOUR ORIGINAL SOURCE?
The 63 million km figure was for the two tiny dots image in the article, then obviously some local caption writer also added it to the caption of the much higher resolution image at the top of the article. And you believed it because.... ?
Please consider this a learning experience.
We've ALL followed this same route....

Darkness of space? "Black" space? It's in full sunlight. Don't you see it?
You're thousands of miles from Earth. Under what laws of optics would ANYONE 'expect' to see meter-scale objects on a TV image?

I think that this has all been explained to you multiple times. incidentally, what do you mean when you say "UFO"?

How angular WAS the moon -- that is, what was its phase? Crescent, maybe? Waning gibbous? Did you check?
