That’s how I was only able to see neowise comet in 2020 or so, lol

Long open lens, wait 3-4 seconds. Play around with the settings, could easily figure out a way to see better. Camera lens distances would be easy.

Ah yes, I always make sure to carry my handy telescope and binoculars in case I see something interesting enough to record that day.

Yes, hobbyists who look at the sky regularly do own telescopes. That’s why they know these videos are a big nothingburger.

Any zoomed in footage would show an airplane, and thus not be sensational enough to share

Wouldn’t a helicopter make more sense since it’s not moving?

u/caughtinthought Dec 15 '24

The plane is flying directly at the camera making it look stationary

u/Stoop_Boots Dec 15 '24

Oh yeah that could be a thing too, forgot about that perspective ^ . ^

If someone took a clear video of these obvious planes and helicopters, it would never get posted here in the first place.

The videos need to be dogshit so that the fools in this sub have something to jerk off to.

Fuzzy lights = aliens, are you nuts to think otherwise?!

u/Ok-Broccoli-640 Dec 15 '24

I know, right?

The other day it was raining, and I saw these bolts of light come down from the sky. Im pretty sure Thor is mad at us.

Or use the flightaware app

u/[deleted] Dec 15 '24

Yes, but when they zoom in they just see planes, that's why no good shots are posted.

People owning telescopes can actually see what it is. Ain't nobody interested in seeing something completely mundane. If it's a wobbly light blob, there is some room for imagination, the video becomes more interesting.
