possible ufo ??
I was on my roof on June 17th,2005 at 10:28 est observing the stars,moon &sky I sometimes do when I have extra time. I was using my new Meade CaptureView 8x42 Digital Camera Binocular. ((For full specs on this Camera got to: http://www.meade.com/manuals/TelescopeManuals/CaptureView/CV-5.pdf.))
The settings were as follows; mode=movie,size=2M(1600*1200), lighting=auto exposure.
As I was observing the stars through the Meade I noticed what appeared to be a star moving in the sky. I tried to focus and track this star or ufo?? (wasn't sure at this point). I was moving from east to west trajectory. I noticed that the object appeared to be speeding up then slightly slowing down.
Through the Binoculars the object appeared to have a yellowish tint to it. The object appeared to be disappearing and appearing agian then was gone. The entire time I was pressing the button on the Meade because I thought the camera was set in still-mode but apparently it was in movie mode (operator mistake). What I was actually doing was starting and stopping the movie mode lasting about 8 secs each time. I captured about 1 sec of what I believed to be the object on video.
I am a 4 yr military veteran and this was not a plane.You are welcome to have an image analysis to explain what the object is.
