Distance of camera/observer from rocket can be determined by counting how many seconds after explosion one can hear it. Convert to Meters. Time (t) = to initial explosion = 6.96 (11.96s for later big one) Frames with 'UFO' in it: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
How many fractions of a second pass between frame 1 and frame 5?
Degrees of arc on screen between both points of where UFO is = approx' 25 degrees. Now you have two distances, degrees and the time factor - plug into a formula to get the speed. From this image:
You can see that the rocket is nearly perfectly half-way between the two images of the UFO. So we can use simple trigonometry to calculate the distance between the two points (2.4km converted to meters):
Distance traveled = 1.064134 km
Speed = Distance / time
= 1.064317 km / 0.133s (if rounded down to 1.06 km and 0.13s speed is 29,353.8461 km/h) So this was definitely a UFO as bugs, birds, aircraft, etc, don't fly that fast but UFO have been known to do so. |
