Filmed by an amateur astronomer,he was attempting to use different filters and attachments for these daylight conditions without much success as achieving good focus on the Moon with the rapidly deteriorating conditions were making it impossible.That's why the Moon is out of focus.But that put the object a little more in focus.He was recording 30 second clips of the Moon passing through my fov in an 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain when at 18 seconds,an object streaks by.(He wasn't looking at the video screen at that time and started slewing the scope down after it passed)

    that can be really anything-also u.f.o. but really anything hm thanx for explanation ;)

  • okay,i found this one to be really interesting bescause you can clearly see the distorted air around the object,and this was filmed with a telescope and the object was at a high altitude,i could give you more information,because it is well documented and researched.

  • well i m not so much clever to understand what i see i can t recognize what is on the backround

  • The Moon,it was filmed by an amateur astronomer,he was attempting to use different filters and attachments for these daylight conditions without much success as achieving good focus on the Moon with the rapidly deteriorating conditions were making it impossible.That's why the Moon is out of focus

  • its one of the NASA tether space craft, note the hole in the center. it is alien

  • thats a frizbe or a really fast ballon.

  • a soccer ball?

  • thats were my frisbe went then

  • The illumination angle looks the same as the moon... my first thought is perhaps an aircraft in transit. Its tough to tell definitively, because of the quality of the vid.

  • That was very interesting indeed.

    Good posting 5 stars

  • it looks like a frisbe

  • Me And My Brother Loves Alien Stuff Like This. We Were Never Lucky Enough To Actually See One In Person :(
