My name is Mark Mann and on June
19th 2004 in Northern British Columbia, Canada, I videotaped many
of the objects shown in the
air
show tape. I was wondering if they would appear somewhere else
as there was so many of them in the sky that day. I even managed
to get one frame showing them in almost focus. Attached are a
couple of stills from the video I shot. Compare them to the air
show footage and I know they are the same objects.
Here is the video you requested, or at least part of it. The
objects from the still are at time index 28:13. It is important to
note that ALL of the other things zipping by are also these
objects. I recorded almost 45 minutes of these things but only
managed to save a little over 2 minutes on disk before the video
was recorded over. In that 2+ minutes there are around 200 of
these objects flying around. Over the whole time in that little
patch of sky, who knows how many there were, or for how long they
had been passing by. So here's the history of this video.
On June 19th, 2004 I was over at a friends house helping to
finish a deck that we rebuilt the day before. At around 2-2:30 I
was just sitting around so I grabbed his camcorder to see if I
could film some "Rods" by placing the camcorder on a tripod and
tilting it up at around 60 degrees or so, in such a manner that
the sun was just blocked by the roof edge. I then zoomed out to
40x digital zoom. I had not used his camcorder before so I did not
properly set the focus. The sky was a nice deep blue with not a
cloud in sight. Blocking the sun with the roof did not show any
tree fluff or anything like that flying around. With just your
eyes one could see nothing, the sky was empty.
Around 35-40x these things started to show up zipping by at a
high rate of speed. I knew they were not bugs or that white fluff
that is around in the summer and was at a loss for what I was
filming. After 45 minutes I shut it off and went inside to the
computer. Using his wife's computer I downloaded about 20 minutes
of footage when he got a call from work and we had to go. A couple
of days later I was back over there looking at the footage frame
by frame trying to figure out what I had got. At that time it had
skipped over the frame with the two objects almost in focus so I
continued to go frame by frame for awhile then again had to leave.
A day later my friend took his camcorder to a family reunion and
taped over my footage.
Luckily I managed to save 2+ minutes onto a disk before he
left. When they got back his wife did a reboot of her computer
wiping out all the footage an it. It was almost a month later when
I was going over the disk that I saw the frame with the 2 objects.
It was then that I started to understand what I had on tape. How
many others did I get in focus on the rest of the video? What else
had the camcorder caught that day? I'll never know cause the
footage is gone, made me sick to even think about it.
The only way to understand this footage is to go over it frame
by frame. I've also included a few out of many other objects I've
seen and filmed over the last couple of years for your enjoyment.
A big thanks to Mr. Mann for sending in his photos and video.
