    My low light Camera captured a ton of weird objects in space in full 4k...

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CLfu1hKK8o

    How, do you think, is that related to the theories of relativity, to justify your crosspost to sci.physics.relativity?

    Provided that the video is not fake, given how those "weird space objects"
    are moving, they are probably mostly orbiting operational terrestrial satellites or pieces of "space debris" (e.g. remains of launching rockets,
    and satellites no longer in operation) of which there are hundreds of
    thousands by now; whereas the space debris constitutes an increasing hazard
    for operating satellites and spaceflight:

    <https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Videos/2019/02/Distribution_of_space_debris_in_orbit_around_Earth>

    This was in 2019. There are many more objects now. If you just consider additional satellites, as of January 2026 SpaceX's Starlink constellation consists of 9422 small satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO, h =~ 800 km to
    2000 km) [0]

    See also:

    PBS NewsHour: Human-made debris left behind in outer space is a growing
    problem down on Earth
    <https://youtu.be/ZnP28QbZx_Y>

    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_debris>

    Also, in the video description you write:

    I cranked up my high-end low-light camera, which has a 35mm F0.95 lens,
    and pointed it at the night sky. The camera was set to record in 4K video mode, and it captured a ton of objects flying around. Among these was a
    good meteor.

    A *meteor* [from Anc. Grk.: μετέωρος (metéoros, lit. "beyond air"; from μετά
    metá "beyond" + *ἀορος *aoros "thing lifted up/in air"; meaning "related to
    celestial phenomena") [1]] is any apparition of light in an atmosphere, typically produced by a _meteoroid_ (lit. "like a thing from above" [2]) a celestial object smaller than an asteroid or comet; typically pieces that
    have broken off an asteroid/comet) that (temporarily) enters an atmosphere which causes it to heat up and thus emit light. When a meteoroid impacts
    the surface, what remains of it is called a *meteorite* (lit. "rock from above", from Lat. -ites from Anc. Grk. -ίτης -ítes "belonging to" [3]).

    So what do you mean by "good meteor"?

    Thank you for crossposting to, and thus reminding me of the existence of, sci.astro.* in addition to <news:alt.astronomy>.

    First of all, IMNSHO this has nothing to do with the theories of relativity.
    So please stop crossposting (without Followup-To) to
    sci.physics.relativity. F'up2 sci.astro set again; please observe this.

    Second, this man does NOT present a proof of alien life. He has observed
    some lights in the night sky that he cannot explain. But *no* explanation
    is just *no* explanation; it does NOT mean that the correct explanation is alien life.

    Moreover, he does not even bother to substantiate his claim; he does not
    show his analysis, no comparison with the tools he claims to use, and you believe him *blindly*? How can you be so naïve? Or are you just trolling?

    I recommend that you watch this to clarify your misconceptions:

    Those weird objects in space are actually monitoring systems from the
    other side of the universe and
    other dimensions. But they are not being monitored by aliens from other space...
    they are simple Nature's monitoring systems, (basic natural products) to
    keep the universe on track.

    Something has to keep an eye on things.


    You never know somebody might build an atomic bomb that can explode the
    whole earth.

    So, weird objects in space roam the universe and send back the
    information...


    they are mistaken for flying saucers, but are just Nature's monitoring
    systems.

    There are cloaked spaceships hiding in the night sky over our neighborhood...

    Those are satellites entering or leaving the shadow of the Earth,
    definitively NOT «cloaked» «spaceships».

    You are obviously part of the "NASA Kooky Konspiracy"!

    It is not necessarily so that the satellite seems to disappear when it
    enters the shadow of Terra, and appear when it leaves it, but also the angle
    of the solar panels, more generally the surface, of a satellite has to be
    right so that it reflects sunlight towards the observer.

    I noticed this with some Starlink satellites¹ in Stellarium ([home] planetarium software; can be used to track satellites, too: <https://stallarium.org/>) that seemed to appear out of nowhere above the horizon, and suddenly disappeared when still above the horizon; but, of
    course, they only became visible and invisible again when they began and stopped reflecting sunlight (towards the observer), respectively.

    ¹ There are more than 10'000 Starlink satellites in orbit now, so these
    days there is a high probability that if you observe any fast-moving
    object in the night sky with the naked eye or binoculars, it is a
    Starlink satellite reflecting sunlight. Alternatively, but more seldom,
    it is the International Space Station.
