Subject: a couple more kepler movies

[uploaded 6 times; last 15/09/2024]

I've uploaded a couple more movies of the kepler telescope data.

Kepler was one of the early space telescopes that looked for the small
light deviations in stars that could signal the transit of planets.
It was put in solar obit, trailing the earth around the sun, and was
operational until late 2018.

The telescope pointed at only a fixed 15x15 area of the sky about 45
deg above the ecliptic. You might imagine that if you point a
telescope in some random direction (Kepler's targets were selected to
be out of the way and not likely to be affected by stray light from
the Earth, moon, sun or major planets) even if you leave it running
for 10 years is unlikely to see anything weird. Right?

On the latest data at Quant Central, with some 30 million star
measurements, the day by day co-ordinated dimming seen in 100s of
stars in Kepler's sights seem to be in sync with certain UFO reports a
week later. The stats tests dully say there's less than 1 chance in
1000 this could happen just by chance.  It's possible, maybe even
probable, that the dim shapes detected moving around in front of the
millions of dim stars imaged by the telescope are the same ones that
turn up over N America and are reported as "dark UFOs".  There are
also strong statistical links to object classified by the NUFORC as
"Fireball UFOs" and links even to our old pals Triangles and Spheres.

The movies are at <kym.massbus.org/KEPLER/movie30Jul2024.avi> and
<kym.massbus.org/KEPLER/movie.v4.avi>.

The first of these shows a series of flashes and shadows. These terms
are relative. Kepler images have a 32-b grey-scale. Because there are
so very many levels of brightness many image processing programs blow
their stack when it comes to analysing them. To enhance the dimmer
parts of the images, where things are more likely expected to be
visible, logs are taken of the raw "brightness" of each pixel and the
whole movie is normalised first. Each frame represents the average
(processed) brightness of the region over 24 hrs.  The movie shows
many "breaks" between telescope sessions. The Kepler data is broken up
into "quarters" and the time between is used to apparently re-tune the
instrument. Which is a problem for the stats programs.  It means some
of the big changes you see in the first movies simply represent more
or less software upgrades, and maybe not real changes in the
brightness of the stars the telescope sees.  This is quite amazing for
me given these data are supposed to be used to spot planets crossing
in front of the imaged stars. But, apparently, that kind of searching
is not put off by sudden changes in reported light levels from month
to month.

And so we come to version 4 of my image processing. The "v4" movie
handles any changes in the telescope tuning or software processing
that might happen from quarter to quarter. Basically, we do the stats
on an quarter-by-quarter basis rather then take the whole light curve
for each star over the 10+y operational life of the Kepler project.
This movie is then much less "flashy" but still shows many mysterious
co-ordinated darkenings in the telescope image from day to day (and
even more at the hour-to-hour level). No change depends on the output
of just one star. Groups of at least 10 are averaged together to get
each pixel in the movie plots. Most variations from "normal", shown as
black in the v4 images, are toward the dark side. Blue means something
in the darkest 15% of pixels, magenta is the darkest 3% and the odd
violet region is in the darkest 1%. There are also some flashes of red
meaning in the top 15% of brightest pixels, but nothing much brighter
seems to register on a region-wide level.

The size of dark areas predicts about 50% of sightings of "dark UFOs"
as reported to the NUFORC about a week after the telescope image was
taken.  We are, apparently, seeing dark UFO's -- or whatever causes
them -- about 1 week before they are spotted over N Am.

The Kepler data is fairly consistent on some points. E.g.  regions of
stars -- not just single stars -- seem to brighten and darken in
spooky parallel and days before certain types of objects are spotted
in the sky over N Am. Generally, when areas darken they are highly
correlated to "black" or "dark" UFO reports; areas that lighten are
highly correlated with "bright" or "Light" UFO reports.

As with other telescope data I've surveyed in the past few years it
seems this kind of activity is visible in all directions you look all
the time. While Kepler only looked in one 15x15 deg area of the sky it
was pretty much a "random selection". I.e. it should be pretty much
representative of any other "average" section of the sky.  The data
from WISE and TESS supports the same proposition because they
look/looked in most regions of the sky and found flashes and shadows
happening everywhere and on a day-to-day basis for the last 20y.

We seem to return to the idea our view of the universe has been
similar to our early view of the earth. We thought the earth was the
centre of creation. The establishment fought hard the idea the earth
was not the centre of the solar system.

If our scientific observations of the past centuries have taught us
anything, it's that life started early on earth -- it was off and
running practically on day 1 (day 7 according to some textbooks).  Life
exploded and went into every nook and cranny it could find.  And it
refused all attempts to kill it off. The experiment was replicated
several times that we know of. The same explosion and expansion of
life happened after each of several major extinction-level events.

The universe has been around 13+bn years. Our galaxy has been around
almost all that time. What has life been doing out there all that time?

[No Good Deed Goes Unpunished:]
Whether you work in the UFO warehouse at Area 52, are the surgeon who
handles the alien autopsies, or are the designer of the amazing
climate cleaning machine, if your work is classified, you can't blow
the whistle on it for the public good and expect the law to work in
your favor.

   Saucers and Their Alien Pilots". A letter from Clearance Jobs, an
   organization representing govt workers with high security clearances.

A vast array of our most sophisticated sensors, including space-based
platforms, have been utilized by different agencies, typically in
triplicate, to observe and accurately identify the out-of-this-world
nature, performance, and design of these anomalous machines, which are
then determined not to be of earthly origin.
