After weeks of cloudiness finally a few clear nights ...a nice opportunity to see what is flying around in the night sky :) Camera Panasonic HC-V270 + Gen 3 PVS14
You can see a lot of activity with the naked eye some nights. I use binoculars and the number of objects moving in deep space are astonishing. We are definitely not alone.
Yessir. Lived in the middle of nowhere midwest several years back. Would see so many strange things move in the night sky very similar to these things in the video. They moved in all different directions. So they were not satellites. Plus i started going on websites to track satellites, and the nearest satellites were not flying near my area, nor at the time of the objects i saw. Some of the lights got dimmer and extremely brighter at different times. Almost appearing to ascend even higher/farther away.
Smoking my tobacco pipe on my back porch in the country in Louisiana. And i agree you can see with the naked eye. I just saw 2 different dots get brighter, fade back to a dot, then disappear. Or at least I perceived them as disappearing. Both in different parts of the sky, different times, going in different directions.
@@johneroyale yep. I see exactly what you described all the time. Only difference is i'm smoking a cigar. And i see these objects go in all different directions. So much for the "they're just satellites" excuse. Otherwise they should be crashing into each other regularly.
@@runnergo1398 I don’t know what bats you have near you, but I’ve never seen one follow a straight path at night then change course ~90° so smoothly, only to head off straight again. Not saying it’s a UFO, but also keeping an open mind to both expected and unexpected explanations.
Basically your rule of thumb is, if it moves in a straight line, it's a satellite or a meteor (if it moves fast and suddenly disappears). The change of intensity is just the amount of light the satellites are reflecting back towards you. The ones in formation are birds. But the one at 9:21, where it changes direction and speed, is definitely something I've never seen before. It could be an insect if it had the same intensity (heat) all the time. Hard to say, but interesting and nice footage! Fun to watch :D
Gediphoto Art , Thanks for the comment ...Yes the most objects are explainable and not to mention , birds bats and insects which also can be observed with night vision ....but sometimes you capture things that cannot be explained immediately ...Thanks for watching , cheers
@@GediAstro that's great ...There is a lot of different NV on the market..choose wisely because some NV is rubbish..you can find much info for comparising on RU-vid
I've seen something like at 9.21 with the naked eye in a crystal clear sky in Greece. It 100% felt like I'd seen something not from earth. It set me on a journey of discovery for years I am a believer. Don't forget that object it much higher up than planes are and look how fast a plane goes at that height it looks slow yet soemtning much much higher going so much quicker and moving a sixth pence like that is mind blowing
you'd have to take in some consideration for light pollution and possible reflections. High amount of satellite activity and them reflecting light, birds, human aircraft, and id say space debris or a few meteors/shooting stars, possible drone activity. Definitely interesting to see the amount of activity over head. With the human aircraft activity the night vision does provide slight views on its propulsion source along with a halo lighting effect from its lights which help in identifying and dismissing other possible aircraft
Every night I look into the skies, I can now see so much better than I used to be able to, but seriously I see them all over the skies around so many galaxies/stars
I have to admit the one with the quick direction change was interesting. The others can be explained as tumbling satellites. I have been observing from dark sky site used by astronomy club for decades, and seen these tumblers on many occasions. They typically occur right after sunset or right before sunrise by about 2 hours, and depending on the angle to sun, can produce reflections. That one that changed direction though? That has me stumped.
I love watching them do U-turns and chase eachother at super high speed. I thermal view when camping Away from all the city lights ect Really helps and zoom as far in as the quality will allow a good view
Good evening, great video. This time, when we have a lot of time, I do a lot of sky watching. I can confirm that activity goes creazy lately. This pair, oat the beginning and 3:05, I saw at least 5 times. Please notice that my main objects of interest are stars and other so called celestial bodies :) Once again, nice vid. All the best !
Thank you Jedzrej Zawadzki for the comment and for watching this video .The night sky is very interesting , and all we need is a clear sky 😀👍✨🛰🛸 Cheers mate
Back in the day NV was very costly and When the U.S.S.R. collapsed, Their lowest type of NV hit at first it was 350.00 bucks and I pounced on it, Then my dad wanted one and it was for 150.00 bucks and Then four months later I went to a gun and knife show it was 50.00 bucks (CRAP). Anyway I did aimed it at the sky and was blown away at all the stars I looked at, Seen the same thing shown here. GREAT VIDEO AND MUSIC!
The old NV's are indeed perfect for sky watching ...i started with the P8079HP tube ...works for many hours on a few AA batteries . Thanks for your comment and maybe you can make your own NV sky watch video's . Cheers
Are you familiar with the app "heavens above"? Shows you exactly when and what satellites are passing above you... Very Helpful to determine what exactly those objects are
Yes i have a satellite app , but sometimes i make recordings of 10 minutes and change every time the position of the NV and look at the results afterwards
So could you please elaborate: -As for the camera, one could basically use anything that can manually focus on the night vision monocular, right? -Are there cheaper, comparable night vision devices?
I have tried only one camcorder in combination with the NV , and the best results was with manual focus.There are a lot of different NV devices ...and you can find much info for comparing on RU-vid ...Maybe the P8079HP tube is an good option...i have one too... it works great for sky watching ...but it's bigger than a gen 3 and the frame rate is slower. Thank you for watching
I really like your videos. Personally i use Nikon Coolpix P900 for moon footages, but i can't capture videos like that. Can you tell me what gear you use. I really appreciate that!
Antonio Vitto , thank you very much...I use a Gen 3 night vision & Panasonic HC-V270 .At the end of the video in the link you can see the setup .ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jV3vYFBQGjk.html
Thanks Joe ...yes there was a lot of "traffic" in the air ...and that incoming line ..at first i also thought Wowww ...but after a second look , in slowmotion i believe it was only a meteor ..because i moved the camera it seemed like a line :-) ... cheers mate
I've pointed my green light at a few of these lights... Some of them go brighter or get real dim.. I had a flashing one change direction on me about 6 times then disappear. Was amazing to witness
i'm no photo expert but it's all recorded with a camcorder...and this device has different record modes ...while recording with NV I use the mode "fireworks"for the best result ...and fortunately there not much light pollution here.Thank you for watching
I wish I had more darker skies for night vision. Living in a gated community there are trees and street lights shining nearly 270 degrees, only the backyard is dark enough and only west , southwest is dark enough.
Derbezace Sanchez , light pollution and objects blocking your view is not ideal but maybe when you dim all lights if possible ..and sitting in your backyard .. you also can observe the sky straight up .....I have a limited view too from my backyard ...Thanks for watching 😀👍
Ive been watching the night sky for a while now and see a lot of moving objects eithout any nv but after seeing your videos i need to get some goggles! Gen3 looks the best for me is gen 4 any better? Im clueless with this as new to it all the talk seems to be for the pvs-14 or pvs-7! On what ive read so far i think the 7 but what would you recommend? Or anyone else reading this Thanks
Owen wadders , a PVS 7 or a PVS 14 is ideal for sky watching 😉👌 There are many different NV to compare ( on You tube ) and that's how I chose for the Gen 3. Thanks for watching . Cheers
can you tell me the purchase link of the night vision device to match the camera? I would also need to understand how you managed to combine both pieces to make the video.
i use a homemade attachment...made from parts of an other tripod ...with some extra holes in it so i also can assemble my P8079HP ...there is a photo at the end of my other video -ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yxOzsVsqp4c.html
@@dutchfly-61 can you link some night viewers to buy cheap? to be combined with my v-180 which is an older model of your panasonic. I would like to make something similar to your invention to film the night sky, something that you don't have to spend thousands of euros on other equipment, maybe you can put your equipment from more angles if you like.
@@abbapadrefiat on my other video you can see also a photo of the setup (this time with the P8079HP) ...- A good NV is not cheap but there are websites for hunting equipment and there you sometimes can buy second hand / used NV "s
great footage...i don't see anything but satellites except for one object moving retrograde....but even a few satellites supposedly orbit retro.....and the flash could be a iridium satellite.....great footage tho..keep it up
That is a great video. I'm thinking of attempting something like this again... Was back around the time you made this video that i was messing around with my night vision gear.. Could never get it good enough for my liking.... You did a great job though.
Thank you Scratch for watching ..I visited your channel and your Night vision footage quality is very good ( and i also noticed the dust particles ..but that little problem I had that too at first with my P8079HP tube , can be solved ) . As you probably know it sometimes takes many hours of recording and editing to get a 5 minute video with highlights ...Cheers mate
@@dutchfly-61 You're very welcome. And thank you for your comments about my videos. Yeah the dust is a pain. There are 7 faces to lenses and whatnot in my build, so it's hard to keep them all spotless for long enough to put them all back together lol.. I'm actually about to attempt that in a few minutes.. It's been a long time since i had this up up running. It's long overdue. I need some stars in my life again. Thanks again.
Thermal imaging (FLIR) detects heat (3-12μm). Night vision operates in the visible and near-infrared light range of 0.4-1.0μm and is captured in much better sharpness. FLIR used in this same application would look like a gravel road.
I have a monocular I get the same spectacular view . It looks like there’s a lot of activity. 🚀 It makes me think ever time I use to watch up in a dark pitch top of 753 feet elevation Cachuma lake ⛰ incredible view
@@WholesomeGuy69 It's a gen 3 from GSCI , but i purchased it from a webside for second hand (used)hunting gear..www.jachtadvertentie.nl/optiek/#topadvertise27/0/ . Thank you for watching
At 4:28 you see the bright object turn and go another direction. I saw two of these last night. You really have to pay attention because if you just look up quickly you won’t see these things. The two objects that I saw last night within 4-5 mins, stars are brighter than these, then I see them change direction but when they do they become insanely bright and then disappeared. I have seen these things for years. I thought they were satellites and I’m sure most are however I’ve seen them hundreds of times before and last night was weird. They got super bright as they turned and disappeared. Not satellites. I wonder what type of equipment I need to buy just to record the night sky like this video. Is there in-fared night vision simultaneously or do you have to use separate features at different times? Please don’t make fun of me for not knowing. I’m trying to learn and I’m a huge dumb ass. lol.
Bobby Castor thank you for watching ...to film the night sky I use a Gen 3 (PVS 14) ..and that's analogue night vision tube , so I need a camcorder/camera to record..and that NV tube can't withstand bright light , unlike digital night vision goggles , you can use it during the day too and often with a recording function .The cheapest digital NV only work well with extra IR light ...you can find many different NV gear on You Tube for comparison. Look for quality because there is a lot rubbish on the market Cheers mate
zou je mij een link of iets kunnen sturen met de gear die je hiervoor hebt gebruikt? of andere gear waarmee dit mogelijk is ik wil zelf ook beelden zoals dit maken
Hoi Allard, ik gebruik zelf een restlichtversterker van generatie 3 ,maar die zijn vrij prijzig...wat ook goed werkt is de P8079HP ...dit is een generatie 1 nachtkijker die vroeger oa in tanks werden gebruikt , en die kun je evt bij een legerdump vinden ...alleen die moet je dan zelf mbv oude camera lens in mekaar zetten (hier zijn veel voorbeelden van te vinden op youtube)...en je hebt een camera/camcorder nodig voor de opnames. Of je kunt kijken naar een digitale nachtkijker....die kunnen niet beschadigen door teveel licht en hebben vaak een ingebouwde opname mogelijkheid ...alleen zit er vaak wel veel verschil in kwaliteit....maar de Si Onyx Aurora is wel top
There is a constant highway of objects above us but most are moving too fast for ours eyes to see. Wanna get freaked out? Grab your cell phone (middle of the day) and put it into slow-mo video and aim to the sky and hold it steady for about 10-20 seconds. Review it and you will see small objects racing through it constantly. Birds, bugs and planes move very slow compared to these objects at 240 fps.
Chris Van , a gen 2+ or gen 3 night vision goggle is perfect for sky watching...for a digital NV like the Luna Optics LN-G3-B50 or a Sionyx pro you can find the prices on internet .Thank you for watching
Mitchell Sam thank you for watching 😀👍 I didn't use a telescope for this video , only a NV monocular + Camcorder.....but You can find a lot info about telescopes on You Tube
@@TexasCrackie357 My experience with night vision is limited however i've done some research so I may be able to help. Goggles generally have no zoom which make them super nice for walking around with, especially if you have a head or helmet mount. Monoculars however generally have zoom. If you are interested in simply scanning for animals or whatever in your backyard or outside then I'd recommend a monocular. Which generation you pick corresponds to how much money you want to spend. From what I've seen, gen 1 is basically never worth it unless you get a really nice one and even then they are mostly rifle scopes. They basically just amplify light to a crazy extent, which although cool, doesn't work during the day or you'll break it and even a car headlight can break the sensor. I personally would get a gen 3. Most offer great quality at of course, a large cost. It basically comes down to what's your budget, what do you want to be able to see, what do you want to be able to do. The set up in the video undoubtably cost well over 3 grand. I'll be doing a lot more research in the near future however so I'll update ya if I come across any good brands. There is a r/nightvision reddit where people would help you out.
Love that clarity, is that a gen3? or better? The one Joe mentioned, the line, I agree mostly with you with the slewing of the camera, but it still looked like it was rotating to me. In my opinion it should have been the same angle as the stars. But it was at a different one compared to. Dunno tricky. Overall though very interesting stuff in your sky. :o)
ABAB 86, Really? you might want to check for yourself one night, also factor in not everything on this video is a Satellite, you have Geese, Airplanes, Falling stars, he is using night vision so things are going to look a little weird from using naked eye.
Ive seen too many weird things just like in this video that arent supposed to exist just ordered a set of Gen 1 to try my hand with night vision, I hope they work like this
If you simply keep your eyes on the sky about 30 mins per day. You WILL see ships at least 9once per week. I live in LA a city with the MOST light pollution. I see a ship moving erratically across the sky once per week and I see other things every day
Chris Thomas if you would use a night vision monocular and there is a lot of light pollution then it is sometimes very annoying ...but yes , with the naked eye there is a lot to see in the sky...Thank you for watching .Cheers
Almost all of them were satellites of one sort or another EXCEPT for the one that started at about (;25 or so which showed that it would quickly change directions. (Which is impossible for a satellite). The ultimate question is, was that one of "ours" or one of "theirs"? (And because I too have some Gen-3 NV gear I acknowledge how difficult it is to be able to capture footage like this. So damn good job Dutchfly-61)!
SparkyMcBiff , thanks for the comment👍 .Yes the sky is full of satellites and space debris etc ...and with NV you can see them all the time ..but i always hope to capture something special 😀 . Have you already made some NV recordings too ? Cheers mate
Lol...almost all were satellites..... You are stupid mate....buy yourself a decent camera and a lens. We will talk again. We have been monitoring the night sky for a few years now. I got photos and videos no one should see. Good luck on your satellite beliefs.mate..hahaha
That's crazy...I've seen the same things many many times over the last 15 years ,when im watching the sky at night ...they fade out or burn bright then dim and disappear...I've seen the lots of small ones that spray out and fly like a v shape .... certainly not satilights or aircraft....the heavens are alive ....❤
@luisandresjaspersenrevilla6649 this was recorded in a place called Groenlo , in The Netherlands . I saw your video channel and it is quite interesting . Thanks for watching . Cheers
@@dutchfly-61 Thanks for the information and your quick response. A big hug to wherever you are. I live in the city of San Luis Potosí, in the Mexican Republic (Mexico). I have dual citizenship; Mexican and German. I have been alive for 76 years and of them I have dedicated 50 (since 1974) to the study, research and dissemination of the issue of UFOs. I have written 11 books on the subject, of which only 4 have been published between 1978 and 1983. I would like you to give me permission to share some of your videos on my FB and on my RU-vid channel. Can??
@@luisandresjaspersenrevilla6649 that's no problem to share my video's and if you give a link to my channel 😎👍 Wow 11 books that's great ..hopefully some of my footage can tribute to your research . Cheers bud
@@dutchfly-61 i was down on Jarbidge Peak Nev. a few days ago...saw these things.... nonstop. In additon to the movements shown in your video they will also explode into a ball of light and disappear or the opposite. Weird stuff
I see those fading lights all of time that are not satlights.I see one fly over my head 200 foot with a bright light I see coming tha field, than the light fade when it was shooting to the sky.I thought it was a huge drone but it wasn't.
@@dutchfly-61 It is very hard since they happen at random times.I seen a long thing that was not ours in space that is very long and the whole bottom of the ufo lit and flash a light blue.it was kinda long and round shape.it was not a satlight.
At 9:14 we see the bright flashing and something like a cone of light shined upon the firmament!! And the one right after changing direction is crazy!!
The only thing that interested me was the object that did a direction change. Although I remember in the news a meteor shower in the Arizona night sky and meteors were bouncing off the atmosphere and changing direction.
Waiting for a train bright sunny early 5.00am morning late May 2011 then all of a sudden I saw 4 object's rotating as they were moving about 50 feet above ground silver oval shape size of large balloons I did think they were balloons at first then I realised they are moving same direction together about 100 feet away from me.
Yes , for example the P8079HP tube works great for sky watching...see the link - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Rqrm8cGhH4M.html Thanks for watching .
U dont need telescope to see the moving stars at night. It happens everynight, if u have clear sky, like here in my village, everynight is moving stars
Ala Anak Kost , yes without a telescope you can see a lot in the night sky 🛰✨..i use a residual light amplifier to see also in the infrared spectrum without a telescope . thank you for watching
Mostly satellites. The orbit fits. Except the one that changed direction. But there are apps and programs to see known satellites and rocket bodys locations.
@@dutchfly-61 Thanks! I'm an astrophotographer and it seems to me that beautiful videos like this one attracts a lot of conspiracy folks. At this point I'm not sure when one just doesn't have any knowledge about astronomy and when they just fell for a conspiracy theory:/ It hurts and really makes me sad to see people fall for conmans, strawmans and red herings. Astronomy is a beautiful thing but people abuse it for their narrative. They take people away from the beauty of the universe and use it to spread fake news, conspiracys and just genreall bs...
@@meloney , there is a lot going on there in space and yes I love watching the stars and constellations too but I also believe that there is more than satellites , meteors or space debris ... 🛸 But to capture one...that' needs o lot of luck . Cheers
