Well...just watched national discovery and there's alot of crap on it but this show i found interesting. It was about a team of researches, researching mystery lights on youtube, on their own video's, and encountered by themself.

They even had a video where blue light appeared on a infrared video(where everything shows up green on).
They tested all wavelengths on one of the best infrared goggles from the army but couldnt get the goggles video, see any blue.

Also some of these lights where moving 10 times the speed of sound.

Whats your take, believe and maybe a bit research on google ect?

As a laser user, light facinates me naturally:)

Ahh you must be talking about the program Paranaturals? If so that's the one where they went to Brown Mtn here in NC. That video caused quite a stir around here! They never could explain why this light, or energy appeared blue. The investigator Joshua Warren, believes that this mountain is like a giant capacitor. And at night when the ground cools, the quartz crystal, which runs all through this area. Contracts in it's cooling and a piezo electric effect, creates natural earth plasmas! Kind of hard to prove the theory, but this seems to be best explanation ive heard so far! :rolleyes:

An unfiltered 473nm dot fits that description pretty well.
They ran all the wavelenghts of light on the nightvision goggles...remained green. Nightvision goggles can only see green...
That makes it weird.

Yea, I guess you really had to have seen this episode to understand. This was one of the premier optical labs who tested the night vision setup that was used in this shoot! In fact, Joshua had explained on his radio show, that Nat Geo practically confiscated his camera setup on the spot. And sent it to the lab of there choice!

I actually watched it. Their acting is terrible. Even if it's not faked, It's not that exciting to see a color glitch in your gear.

color glitch != aliens

Actually it is that exiting?? Because the impossible happened?

I find wave particle duality interesting, although it frustrates me, I wonder if we'll ever come up with a unified theory that can explain the way it acts, rather than two theories botched together :p

Do you have a link to the video from the OP on youtube or something?

I watched about ten seconds of the video. It looks to me like some sort of reflection on the night vision equipment that the video camera picked up. Most likely some dude in the back with an LED flashlight.

I'd like to know how the transition from the NV system to the CCD sensor works. That might offer more insight into how this happened.

NV displays green, but a CCD will pick up more than just green.

Again, if anyone got to see the original documentary. You will see that the night vision goggles in question, had a special adapter on the right side eyepiece. A digital camera was then attached directly to the eyepiece. Further, this connection point had a tight light seal.

So there was no way this camera could have caught a stray reflection from anywhere! All the light we see in this video came only THROUGH the cameras lens. Plus, the intensifier tubes in these goggles can only produce GREEN images. That's why Nat Geo's crew took the camera right after this happened. they were actually there on site when this video was taken! And the independent lab of THERE choice could not explain this blue light. :confused:
