UFO Fleet Formation Filmed with Nightvision Camera

Well, I think you'll have to get some old camera or another model then. I have the feeling that Sony removed those frequencies rather due to THAT reason than the 'x ray effect'.

How curious!

There is this German guy who could get access to the firmware of the HC1 and could do certain readouts and changes, however as every lens is differently balanced by its software configurations, messing around in those setting without having a dozen other reference cameras seems to be more destructive than anything else.

I'm a video maker and I think that you have to be very specific about the camera because there is so much modification going on in those prosumer and consumer cameras that you can't trust them on these accounts.

Can you guys fill me in on those two things:

1. I know that night goggles are a mixture of what I only know in German as 'rest light amplifier' and the infra red. Do they use a special filter to just view IR and combine the signal with the amplified light or do they add the ir spectrum above the normal one?

2. I have read some articles on an IR filter, so that your camera only receives the IR frequencies instead of the normal ones. This might be a way of getting the camera do to the real thing without using proprietary modes.

I think I have to read up on the IR thing. I don't quite get the difference between the 'warmth pictures' and this IR. I always though it was the same.
Anyway, even with the built in IR on my cam some colours are completely opposite, i.e. black turns to white/grey. I'm not sure what frequencies are observed here as it doesn't seem like colour temperature. Does anybody have a theory as to why these objects are visible with IR? Do they simply pulse at a higher than visible frequency?
