UFOs aren't necessarily alien spacecraft. And some purported UFOs aren't UFOs at all. Take the example from Apollo 16.

Beginning their return from the moon to an April 27, 1972, splashdown, Astronauts John Young, Thomas Mattingly and Charles Duke captured about four seconds of video footage of an object that seemed to look a lot like Hollywood's version of a spacecraft from another world.

The thing was described as "a saucer-shaped object with a dome on top." The images were captured with a 16mm motion picture camera shooting at 12 frames per second from a command/service module window. The object appears momentarily near the moon. As the camera pans, it moves out of the field of view. It reappears as the camera pans back. It appeared in about 50 frames.

Some very bright people recently worked hard to analyze that footage. Their conclusion was that the object wasn't at all what some observers thought it seemed to be. There is no indication the Apollo 16 crew ever thought the film showed anything special.

A group headed by Gregory Byrne of Johnson Space Center's Image Science and Analysis Group completed a report on its investigation earlier this year. They used a video copy of the film initially, then did a high-resolution digital scan of the original film for detailed analysis.

They stabilized images to correct for camera movement, and then aligned multiple frames in a sequence. One thing that showed them was that the object appeared to move slightly with respect to the moon, because of parallax brought about by slight camera motions and the nearness of the object to the camera.

The investigators also combined several frames in a sequence, to give them higher resolution and greater contrast than individual frames. The combinations showed them more clearly a "linear feature" attached to one side of the object. They also looked at archived images from other Apollo missions.

Bottom line: "All of the evidence in this analysis is consistent with the conclusion that the object in the Apollo 16 film was the EVA [spacewalk] floodlight/boom. There is no evidence in the photographic record to suggest otherwise."

不明飞行物不一定是外星人飞船。 还有一些声称不明飞行物不明飞行物都没有。 从阿波罗16号的例子。

开始他们从月球返回到4月27日,1972年,溅落,宇航员约翰杨,托马斯马丁利和查尔斯杜克抓获大约四的视频对象,似乎看起来很像好莱坞的一个来自另一个世界的航天器的版本很多镜头秒。

这件事被描述为“一位对圆顶飞碟形物体。” 被抓获的图像与16mm电影摄影机拍摄每秒12帧从一个指令/服务舱的窗口。 瞬间的对象出现在月球附近。 随着照相机平底锅,它移出视野。 它再现作为摄像机锅回来。 它出现在大约50帧。

最近,一些非常聪明的人努力分析这些录像。 他们的结论是,所有的对象是在与一些观察家认为这似乎是没有。 没有迹象表明在阿波罗16名机组人员没有想过的影片展示了什么特别。

由格雷戈里约翰逊航天中心的图像科学与分析小组伯恩率领的小组完成了调查报告今年早些时候。 他们用视频拷贝的电影开始,然后做了高清晰度数字扫描原片进行详细分析。

稳定的图像,以纠正他们对相机运动,然后排列在一个序列多帧。 这表明他们有一件事情是,目的似乎就移动到月球咯,因为视差带来轻微的相机运动和亲近的对象到相机有关。

研究人员还结合在一个序列数帧,给他们更高的分辨率和对比度大于单个帧。 他们的组合更清楚地表明了“线性特征”附加到对象的一个侧面。 他们还研究了其他阿波罗任务的存档图像。

底线:“在这所有的证据分析与结论相一致,即在阿波罗16膜对象是长荣[太空行走]泛光灯/激增有照片记录中没有证据表明并非如此。”。
