| Name | Robert P |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I have two videos. The one facing east is a Reolink RLC823A 16x, which shows the two flashes with audio, along with moving shadows. The second video is from my backyard Reolink RLC823A camera facing north. Both camera/videos are time synced through an NTP server. The backyard camera shows crisp moving shadow from the flashes, which I can use along with the east facing camera to triangulate altitude, velocity, etc. I have well over 32 years of experience in Research and Development with a major company. I am a retired scientist/engineer and would love an opportunity to get involved in several areas of this phenomenon as well as UAP study and research, so this is right up my alley. I am quite proficient with AutoCAD, so I can reconstruct this event in 3D modeling and render a fly-through and try to match the shadows and trajectory. Please contact me so I can get these videos to you. I tried uploading, but it didn't work. If you have a drobox or equivalent I can deposit them there. |
