In this short 2part Tic Tac vid I recreate the reported distances from Cdr. David Fravor's jet to the ocean disturbance and the object. Then I created a sim of a descending clockwise turn down to about 8K This should approximate what it looked like. @DietrichVFA41#ufotwitter
@dave_beaty@DietrichVFA41 Good job sir! It's as close as we're going to get for now although Lue alluded to the possibility of other tictac footage/data in his interview with Terry Virts a while back imo with one of his 'I gotta be careful what I say here' moments. 44 mins in. Worth a listen.
@jamescfox Dynamite interview! Some details I've not heard before such as the entities buzzing like bees when captured. Assuming this happened, you have to feel for those poor creatures.
@dave_beaty@vfxfisher @chrisotis78 Elements like water, fire, smoke dust etc are always a dead giveaway for cg. Even the top animation studios have trouble with those things. Your film stands up really well Dave.
This one's for Chris Lehto. I've updated the image following your comments so hopefully it looks more like Alex Dietrich's jet is now at 20,000 ft. #ufotwitter#Nimitzincident#tictac
@vfxfisher @chrisotis78 @dave_beaty Thanks. It's all 2d. Just a wacom screen and photoshop brushes. I do it like a traditional painting by hand. The sea in this one is a photo but the jets are drawn - painted. It takes a while!
@BrentlyLee Thank you. That was my thinking going in to this. Description is one thing but seeing can perhaps help in understanding these events better, especially when the quality of visual evidence is so lacking.
@MickWest That's a fair comment Mick but I should point out I didn't use a 3d program to make this. It was rendered by hand in photoshop (apart from the sea which is a photograph) so I'm trying to judge the distance by eye.
I did this for fun years ago and it's taken on a life of it's own. Last year the History channel used it in a documentary about Wild West mysteries and A&E productions are about to use it in one of theirs. I love a good mystery! #tombstonethunderbird#cryptozoology
