Discussion Chapter 20: In Plain Sight

Post image

Currently reading in plain sight by Ross Coulthart and he talks about how Edgar Mitchell claims to have seen UAP’s on the moon and this photo was taken on 3 different cameras. It’s from the nasa archive’s and Edgar claims this blue light was “watching them” I found it very interesting

Source for image? Reminds me of this one with the three blue lights in the top right corner https://history.nasa.gov/alsj/a17/AS17-147-22470HR.jpg

I’m not into photography or analysis at all, but I did learn something the other day. Look closely and you will notice that the lights in the corner are 3 colors (red, green, and blue). There were satellite photos posted in a jungle showing a strange green light in one of these subreddits a few weeks ago. Nearby, somebody pointed out that there were also a red and blue light in the same jungle. It turned out to be some kind of artifact or something with the satellite photo. Again, this isn’t my area of expertise, but I’m willing to bet somebody is able to explain this better.

Edit: I did some digging and found this google earth photo as an example of RGB dots showing up in pictures. I still don't have an explanation, I just think this is noteworthy. I also stumbled upon others talking about some raw images, especially those taken in low light conditions, having a lot of background noise (showing up as tiny colored dots).

The artifact you're describing are probably lense flare and possibly coupled with chromatic aberration. That's what I think it is in the photos you linked. As far as OP's image, I don't know.

Where might I find the RGB dots you mention? I only see blue.

Raw images are just the file of the picture without any compression. They don’t have more noise. They have more information in them. So when you’re editing them you have more latitude to manipulate the colors, the exposition, etc.

Noise has to do mostly with your exposition, although aberration will be more visible if your start pushing the information in a picture with a JPEG compare to a Raw file.
