    In addition to camera motion though, the IIS moves in it's orbit and can rotate in relation to the Earth and the suggestion is that the object itself would be orbiting the IIS (in addition to it's relative motion to the Earth). The bottom line is that there is a complex set of relative motions involved which aren't necessary clear or apparent from the footage and are not routine or instinctive to us. You can't simply declare that the apparent motion of the object on screen isn't accounted for all of that relative motion without a decent analysis of what that motion actually was at the time.

    You can't know that either. It seems to me that it'd be perfectly possible for humans to make something that actually replicated what was on the video with currently known technology.

    The video you started the thread with brought up the conspiracy theories. It was he who jumped from "We don't know what this is" to "If it is a government spacecraft, it must have operated out of Area 51". "We don't know" isn't going to make for click-grabbing videos which is why this kind of thing is always about spinning up speculative theories and wild accusations (which is what the comments were inevitably full off too).

    This isn't really about debunking anything other than the unsupported speculation being unsupported. From our point of view as laymen looking at YouTube videos, this kind of thing will always be unexplained. There is no valid reason to leap from that to unexplainable within the context of currently understood phenomena and technology.

    Thank you. I try my best. I have had ball lightning explode right in front of me, after floating thru my glass window, and striking television. That I guarantee was real.

    Not sure what that is but the fact he won’t play it in motion makes me wonder if it’s speed is not impressive
