Kia ora koutou
I got my old drive content on disc last week - I was keen to have a closer look at some older images. I had a look through some albums and found a couple of interesting images with disc/orb objects and one of a bird in flight for comparison.
Bare with me dial-up viewers ...
This photo was taken in 5 May 2007 - facing west from lower Pelorus Valley.
... 2 August 2007 - facing NW from lower Pelorus Valley. The luminous trail intrigued me - I did not see the orb object until on PC and working the zoom.
Here's the bird .. doesn't have a regular shape, even with its wings tucked.
I have many more images to have a closer look at - when I do and if I find anything interesting I will update.
Those last two images look very much alike..... in the final one you can see a slight 'aura' around the object. Im not sure if those two are birds. The thing they both have in common however is a 'beak' or protrubence from one end. They look a bit chubby to be bird's, :) however it may pay to actively seek out and photograph birds in flight at various distances to get a 'feel' for what you are looking at in these shots.
There may be a slim possibility you are capturing things in the near infra red spectrum (invisible to us). Some digital cameras do not have a filter in them (called a 'hot mirror') which in turn allows this spectra of light through. The CCD will record this as a dark spot or suchlike.
You can check your camera's ability to image into this 'invisible realm' by simply pointing the buisness end of a TV/VCR remote control at the lens while watching through the LCD display. Press a button on the remote and you can see the light from the IR LED shine in the camera screen, even though it is invisible to the eye.
Trevor James Constable, an expat kiwi, perfected techniques in capturing UFO's in the infra-red spectrum in the 50's using IR film. His book 'The Cosmic Pulse of Life' is groundbreaking. A must read! lots of interesting pictures too. Weve got a copy here in the wellington library, its not too hard to track down, sometimes pops up on trademe.
The area you are photographing these 'objects' has a rich and compelling history re UFO's.
Awsome shots! thanks for sharing and keep at it!
This is some of the most important work done by people in AGES...
) Subject: Homeland Security Ban On Infrared Cameras.
Date: March 5, 2008

“Hi Linda,
I am a photography professor at a major college in the Midwest. Our department recently placed a purchase order for a infrared digital still camera. We were shipped the normal spectrum version of the camera with no explanation. When I called the NYC photo suppliers, I was informed that Homeland Security has placed a ban on the sale of ALL digital still and video cameras with infrared capability! Only law enforcement or other agencies can buy them with approval from the manufacturer. They cannot be shipped, but must be picked up in person. An end user license must be completed in the store.
I immediately recalled your recent talk on Coast to Coast AM about there being ‘something’ in the infrared spectrum our government does not want us to see. Our photo program merely wanted to buy the infrared camera for the interesting landscape photographs IR is capable of recording. You can verify my email by following this link to the Major Photo retailer.
Earlier this year, Eastman Kodak suddenly and without warning stopped making infrared film, which had been available for decades. No reason was given, but I now believe this ban came from Homeland Security. Clearly there is something in the infrared spectrum that the general public is not being permitted to see, or record.”
Editor's Note: I have not been able to verify a Homeland Security official, or unofficial, ban on the sale of infrared cameras. When I learn more, I'll report at Earthfiles. I welcome viewer comments and personal experiences: earthfiles@earthfiles.com.
Please note the editor has not been able to verify the above, was posted recently on earthfiles...
I luckily purchased the last roll of kodak infrared 35mm film last month from the phtotgraphic supplies shop here in wellington. The bloke there told me that Kodak are no longer manufacturing it. They said the demand was still there for it though. Google infrared phototgraphy for more info on the process..

yeah, secondfield, that was the article i saw
when i was looking into the option of buying rangefinder binocs, to measure the altitude of jets, there was an infrared version available, around $40,000, from memory
the guy i spoke to on the phone was in Canberra,( which, for those who haven't been there, is a purely public service town, with a certain totally selfcongratulatory atmosphere, though they give nothing and take a lot)
he asked me rudely who i was, saying they didn't deal with the public, only military and "quasi-government agencies" (who , we trust fully, have only our best interests at heart)
when i accepted this, he was willing to warm up and chat a bit
i feel it would be a shame to have to take this crap lying down.......infrared binocs, with a rangefinder, would make a very valuable improvement in safety levels, on a boat at night
this link may go some way to help understand the US armed forces' nervousness about infrared capable devices being readily available........not film though.....................
