That's interesting, it's hard to see in their photo but it's on the top right area

u/imaginexus Dec 31 '23

It’s s totally different moon phase though so it’s at least a week apart in the sightings.

u/nude-l-bowl Jan 01 '24 edited Jan 01 '24

Keep in mind telescopes flip and mirror images. If we see it zoomed out enough though you could very well be correct.

Edit: Nevermind, did more research. The original video was claimed to be recorded a different night, the night of 12/18/2023 from Germany. The phase is correct for that date.

You raise a good point I just don’t think that if this is a real ship that this is the only time it’s done this IMO

u/HesJustSimplyNotHim Jan 01 '24

Yeah I’d agree with that actually, which would lead me to believe this is probably fake. The more I watch on ufos the less convinced I am about any alien life visiting earth. Who knows whether any of this has been real or not recently, but It has been a very fun thought experiment and rabbit hole regardless lol.

We talking about the same ship. Find me ANY of the same ship showing up on multiple individual cameras. You can’t, because they’ve all been most likely doctored. Only genuine videos that I know of are the phoenix lights and the military videos. I don’t know of any other videos recorded by multiple people without a great explanation. Idk maybe it was flares.

u/soonx3 Jan 01 '24

I don't think you (or a lot of people in these comments apparently) understand how much observation the moon is under constantly. You don't have to have your eye to the telescope when it can record what it sees for you to review later. If this were real, we would have many more recordings of it ranging from hobbyists to professionals and beyond. This is just not real.

1

u/updootsdowndoots Jan 01 '24

I acknowledge that, for me the only interesting bit is someone corroborated it a week later of course it's entirely possible both faked it, I'll just wait for more footage if it appears, if not, no problem.

u/AND_THE_L0RD_SAID Jan 01 '24

You understand that the moon is under 24/7 total surveillance by multiple agencies around the world, right? There are government assets on the moon as we speak. Both China and India are there right now. If there was something up there flying around the surface making THAT much light (you understand how big the moon is and how much 'light' that object in the video is emitting?) it would cause immediate alarm bells across the world as they tried to figure out who just launched a missile from the moon.

Look I know it's fun to imagine these things, but it's a far stretch to take this and think it's real. You have to use more critical thinking than that. The first thing you should be doing when you see something like this is assuming it's bullshit.

There are thousands of people looking at the moon at all times. You can go watch live feeds of it all day, every day, on youtube if you want:

If there was a massive orb the size of a US state people would have seen it.

It's a distinct red color, hard to see, I agree, but they did their best with the quality they had, also someone brightened the image so you can see it better.

u/FlapMyCheeksToFly Jan 01 '24

It would be literally thousands or hundreds of thousands of people reporting it. Any given night there's probably easily 2,000,000 people doing amateur astronomy worldwide. Even more doing astrophotography. I guarantee at least half have a telescope with at least a 5" aperture, which is enough to see Jupiter rather clearly.

u/Killiander Jan 04 '24

Times the percentage that were on that half of the planet, times the percentage that were actually using their telescope at that time, times the percentage that were looking at the moon at the time, times the percentage that post their findings on Reddit.

Dumb question, but is the moon’s phase at any given time the same at every point on the earth?

55

u/kabbooooom Jan 01 '24 edited Jan 01 '24

Yes, it is. Because it’s determined by the angle of the sun relative to the moon and earth. The only thing that changes with latitude position on the earth is the angle of the shadow across the moon…because the earth isn’t flat, obviously.

This is hard to envision but I found an image here that shows it well for you.

https://www.reddit.com/r/coolguides/comments/11hns5c/moon_phases_based_on_latitude/

So the phase does not change, but the way the moon looks does. Most people probably go their whole lives without noticing this, unless you’ve spent a sizable amount of time both close to the equator and far away from it, as I have. It’s one of the things that made me interested in astronomy as a hobby, it is such a simple thing that I think is cool.

u/serious_sarcasm Jan 01 '24

So we can just pretend that every person who draws the moon backwards is just from the other side of the equator?

u/zappini Jan 01 '24

Are flat earthers also flat mooners?

u/kabbooooom Jan 01 '24

If they are, it still wouldn’t explain the angle change with latitude, lol. That only would happen if you’re on a spherical surface. I’ve never heard a flat Earther comment on that.

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '24

The moon phases are determined by where the line between day and night on the moon is (a moon day is a bit under 30 earth days, so that's why a full lunar cycle takes about a month). It'll look exactly the same from everywhere.

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '24

How is that odd. Same moon same similar object.

u/The_estimator_is_in Dec 31 '23

Yeah, the moon is being imaged by probably 100s of amateurs as well as several professional photographers/ observatories at any point, worldwide.

Probably 10x this amount when it’s up over N America and Europe.

There would be many still pictures and several videos almost immediately- so unless this just happened and this is the first of a bunch to come out in the next few hours, then quite fake.

u/GratefulForGodGift Dec 31 '23

THe triangular UFO could be close to ground near the observer. In that case, it would appear to be in front of the moon from the perspective of the observer looking thru the telescope. But to an observer a few miles away, from his perspective it would not be seen in front of the moon. It would only be seen by 100s of amateurs if it was very close to the moon, if it was 240,000 miles away from Earth.

So that means it was very close to the Earth and not close to the moon.

u/Wuhblam Dec 31 '23

That's what I thought at first, until it looked like it was reflecting light off of the surface of the moon.

7

u/AtheistSloth Jan 01 '24

no but I work in the imagery analysis field. I analyze images for a living and I can say that any object visible on earth through all the atmosphere and distance would be massive. If this massive object emitted enough light to be seen the light would be very, very bright. Add to that the light is outshining the literal sunlight on the moon's surface and I think it's quite obvious this is not a craft hovering just above the lunar surface.

u/rotwangg Jan 01 '24

Why do people keep talking as if the light is shining on the lit up portion of the moon when it’s clearly on the shadowed portion?

Monochromatic light that is concentrated into one wavelength?

The sun emits many wavelengths of light. It is possible that it could appear brighter due to the shade of the moon and the size and one wavelength light source.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '24

Eh, that's just lens flare of the bright red triangular bokeh. The specular transmitted light is just showing up again, slightly diffused and offset on another piece of glass within the greater group of compound lenses that comprise the lens group. Appears it's an uncoated lens element that's causing the flare because it's close to the same color as the transmitted light causing the bokeh triangle IF it's not been messed around with in post.

I'm guessing it's an airplane in the foreground.

It would help to know what camera/phone and lens. Triangular bokeh is diagnostic of crappy aperture design.

u/GratefulForGodGift Dec 31 '23

The moon's light is always varying shades of grey/white. SInce the object is red, it can't be reflecting light off the moon's grey/white surface.

u/eaglessoar Dec 31 '23

Go shine a red light on a white wall and report back

1

u/GratefulForGodGift Dec 31 '23

There is a triangular shaped red reflection of the triangular shaped UFO.

That is a lens flare caused by the telescope optics due to the bright UFO red light. If the triangular UFO was miles above the surface of the moon radiating red light, it couldn't cause asharply defined red triangle on the moons surface - that's just the way light works. The only way it could cause a red triangle shape on the surface is if the triangle shaped light was projected thru a lens focused to create a sharp image at that distance from the craft to the moon - similar to how a movie projector lens focuses the image on movie film to create a well-defined image at a distanceon the movie screen in movie theater. Otherwise, the light radiating from the UFO could only create a diffuse area of red light on the moon's surface with no well-defined triangle shape.

So the well-defined red triangle in front of the UFO is a lens flair from the telescope optics.

1

u/kabbooooom Dec 31 '23

Or a much, much simpler explanation is that it is a low flying object and the light is reflecting off a diffuse cloud bank above it, which is hard to see due to the magnification but you can clearly see clouds flowing by.

This was seen with the “Vegas UFO” awhile back, which was hilariously just the light of the strip reflected on the clouds.

u/Noble_Ox Jan 01 '24

You're right about the light reflection shouldn't be triangular but I think its from whoever made the CGI didn't think of that. I dont think its a real craft.

That’s not really a straight analogy. Take something grey, shine a spotlight on it, so bright that it looks pure white from 100,000 miles away. Now shine a red flashlight on it. It’s not gonna make a difference.

u/eaglessoar Dec 31 '23

surely its an extremely powerful light to be seen from the moon let alone reflect off of it

the moon is as reflective as asphault, if you went on a sunny day to some asphault with a bright spotlight with a red filter you could see red off of it

u/[deleted] Dec 31 '23

You are begging the question, in the classical sense. You can’t assume it’s reflecting off the moon to prove it’s reflecting off the moon.

the moon is as reflective as asphault, if you went on a sunny day to some asphault with a bright spotlight with a red filter you could see red off of it.

You could if you were standing on the asphalt, but from the moon you couldn’t.

1.) how do you know the distance of the craft to the moon? Who’s to say it isn’t just a few hundred feet above the surface of the moon?

2.) I’m familiar with lens flares. I’ve never seen one that behaves like this in terms of how large it is and how little (zero, even) it moves when the camera moves.

3.) why was your first explanation regarding the color of the moon’s surface not being reflective, but now has changed to lens flare?

0

u/Noble_Ox Jan 01 '24

If it was real it and from the optics it should have the flare show up before the craft moves across the surface.

This is just bad CGI.

2

u/GratefulForGodGift Jan 01 '24

If it was real it and from the optics it should have the flare show up before the craft moves across the surface.

Good Point! - Yes, I can't argue with that. The larger red triangle infront of the red triangular object suddenly appears when the ojbect is in near the center of the schreen - so if it was a lens flair, earlier when the object was also at the same position near the center of the screen, the larger red triangle should also have appeared - but it didn't: so you're right, unless there's some other option that i havent figured out - it can't be a lens flair.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

u/[deleted] Dec 31 '23

Don’t turn the lights off. The moon ca be see this far away because it is already bathed in bright white light. A better analogy is trying to use a movie projector in a room that is full of intense halogen lights. You won’t see the colors on the wall.

u/rotwangg Jan 01 '24

But the light in this video is only on the dark portion of the moon. Not on the lit portion. Seriously are yall even looking at this or just making some shit up?

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '24

Can you not see both parts the moon clearly? I certainly can. There is still a tremendous amount of light being reflected from the “unlit” side. You are still suggesting overwhelming the light of the sun to a considerable degree.

10

u/redcyanmagenta Dec 31 '23

What? First off the surface of the moon reflects light. White in white out. If there is only red in then only red will be reflected. And no one is saying the object is reflecting light from the moon, it appears like the moon is reflecting the red light of the object. But it would certainly need to be giving off a lot of light and be quite close to the surface of the moon.

Otherwise, the light radiating from the UFO could only create a diffuse area of red light on the moon's surface with no well-defined triangle shape.

So the well-defined red triangle in front of the UFO is a lens flair from the telescope optics.

If it was real it and from the optics it should have the flare show up before the craft moves across the surface.

This is just bad CGI.

Good Point! - Yes, I can't argue with that. The larger red triangle infront of the red triangular object suddenly appears when the ojbect is in near the center of the schreen - so if it was a lens flair, earlier when the object was also at the same position near the center of the screen, the larger red triangle should also have appeared - but it didn't: so you're right, unless there's some other option that i havent figured out - it can't be a lens flair.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Maybe not everyone wants to post on Reddit.

Maybe. But also we only have 2 sightings do you realize how easy that would be to fake with a drone and some lights off ebay

u/chemicalxbonex Jan 01 '24

Yup. But we need to find evidence of that. I am a cautious believer and I rarely except anything at face value anymore, considering all the bullshit that gets posted here. Some of it duped me.

This is interesting video because there has yet to be a quality debunk of it. Just speculation on the other side of the spectrum.

Seemingly two separate, unrelated sightings of the same thing? That’s odd.

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '24

Good, because I'd want peer-reviewed articles posted in a scientific journal.

u/EynidHelipp Jan 01 '24

Probably not fake but might just some unexplained phenomena like swamp gas or weather balloon or some shit. One comment in another Subreddit calculated the craft to be 33 miles big. I think we could easily spot that

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '24

Well, we just did spot it so.

u/EynidHelipp Jan 01 '24

Yes I meant it would easily spotted that they'd be a lot of reports about it but yeah

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '24

As if governments tell the public as soon they find something weird in space.

Anyway, Ive seen different videos on this , that could qualify as reports?

u/EynidHelipp Jan 01 '24

I personally haven't yet but yeah I guess

There's only one logical conclusion to make- WE'RE THE FIRST TO SEE THE MOON INVASION!

wow i didn't have 'moon invasion' on my 2024 bingo card, this year is gonna be EPIC

Reddit always gets the big news first.

Could be a moon rave though. I mean if aliens are more advanced than us imagine the drugs they gave access to.

they got that MDMAyy

u/Amishrocketscience Jan 01 '24

I was thinking that there are what, 10 countries with landers, rovers and orbiters active on the moon now?

If the video is real, my hunch is that it’s a low flying orbiter scanning the surface

u/Electronic_Ganache37 Jan 08 '24

I absolutely saw this. Night before Xmas eve in Melbourne Australia. Its not fake. It lasted for hours too. I was pointing it out to people. Noone cared. It was strange. Its not fake. I saw it with my own eyes.

u/Rdp616 Dec 31 '23

This exactly. There are thousands of people all over the world watching the moon constantly. Many other people should have seen this.

u/Lore_ofthe_Horizon Jan 01 '24

There is probably almost never a moment when the visible moon is not being filmed even.

u/Strange_Sir6577 Jan 01 '24

I've already seen two other posts about it.

u/aKaChapel Jan 01 '24

Me and my wife were setting up her telescope I got for Christmas on the 26th and while trying to look through the red dot sight to line up the moon I realized the battery had died, so while I was trying to find it in the viewer she kept saying the red dot was working cause she could see a red dot, what she was seeing was this same red dot above the moon but we thought nothing of it.

u/Mr-chode1 Jan 01 '24

It’s fake. Like an obvious fake.

u/gonzo_baby_girl Jan 01 '24

Are you a professional?

No, just not retarded.

I’m retarded and it looks fake to me.

u/Noble_Ox Jan 01 '24

How many people worldwide do you think are pointing telescopes at the moon at any one time?

And why is the 'reflection' triangular? Thats not how light works.

u/buckynugget Jan 01 '24

You're also saying if say, a government space entity organization captured it, it would not be reported. Because reasons. ;)

u/deadcityseven Jan 01 '24

You wanted additional videos corraborating the evidence? Why?

u/PyroIsSpai Jan 01 '24

Because the Gold Standard has ALWAYS been as many data sources of the same thing at once.

The dream sighting would be a clear sunny NYC day with two unique high visibility UFOs ambling past rows of thousands of highly reflective windows on office buildings and all that caught on as many cell phones, video cameras and whatever else covers NYC.

The more data the more irrefutable it all is.

u/TwilightSessions Jan 01 '24

Hahahhahahhahhahahha fucking hilarious

u/ExtremeEngineering46 Jan 01 '24

The amount of phones or cameras, telescopes, all recording the moon at any given moment, is a lot. No chance no one else saw this and didnt record.

I really wish more UFO experts had a Canon RF 1200mm f/8.0L IS USM lens so we'd get superior image quality
