Spotted a UFO in my GTI

Yea...nope. A mothership materializing out of nowhere with no sound? I'm sorry, but there's no way to violate the laws of thermodynamics. A vast amount of energy MUST be spent to do something like that.

Laws of thermodynamics cannot be broken but yet the laws of physics are already being broken outside in space...

Tell me more about this, I am curious.

Singularity?

[deucestudios]

Sweet Anim8or
How much of that was CGI?

[feels_road]

Singularity?

OT: Singularities are certainly awkward, yet protect physics as-we-know-it in accessible space-time.

Are you trolling?

[Anim8or]

I love how nerdy the trolling is on this thread.

[Porridgehead]

I love how nerdy the trolling is on this thread.

So what program(s) did your students use to create this sequence?

[feels_road]

I love how nerdy the trolling is on this thread.

On that note, if there is more to an event horizon than Hawking radiation, MFactor actually has a point.

Hey man, don't call us nerds. You're the one that created the UFO video.

[MFactor]

Are you trolling?

I'm trolling how? The brilliant C4 A6 once again makes a masterful post, this time by making a statement of how the laws of thermodynamics cannot be broken on a short sci-fi CGI film. I make a point that our scientific laws are not perfect as there are far too many things outside of our world that we do not yet understand. As I pointed out, an example would be singularity. If something like this truly does exist, what would make you believe in absolute certainty that the object would have to make a lot of sound for it to disappear?

[Porridgehead]

If something like this truly does exist, what would make you believe in absolute certainty that the object would have to make a lot of sound for it to disappear?

A sound is transmitted by the vibration of the molecules of air. If no molecules were vibrated during the apparition or dissolution of the object, then no sound would occur. One way to achieve this would be to have the molecules of the object occupy the space between the existing air molecules, thereby creating minimal disturbance when appearing or disappearing. A molecule of oxygen has the size of approximately 292 picometers (using the covalent radii equal to 1/2 the distance between the covalent bonding nuclei, natch). The space between air molecules, at STP, is about 3.3 nanometers, so there's quite a bit of wiggle room for a motivated molecule to sneak in.
Nevertheless, given the number of molecules occupying that space, it would be a considerable feat indeed. Thus, the ability to beam a troller into a wall is not going to come anytime soon. Sadly.

[Air and water do mix]

Yea...nope. A mothership materializing out of nowhere with no sound? I'm sorry, but there's no way to violate the laws of thermodynamics. A vast amount of energy MUST be spent to do something like that.

I would say that if they can materialize their own ship they can probably dematerialize the atmosphere in the location they want to put their ship and simply send it away in a wide pattern, dissipating the effect of materialization, but not negating it.

yes, I'm sure it would take a tremendous amount of energy. Something on the order of 1.21 gigawatts.

Well done, Anim8or.

[Porridgehead]

I like the identical trees.

Other than that, well done. Vue?

Get the **** out.

[C4 A6]

Get the **** out.

Assuming something like that was true, do you think such an advanced species would fall under the constrains of our limited understanding of physics?

[FiveAinOne]

Lol Ani8or, that's some nice ani8ing, but the reaction sounds were far less convicing. And camera work way too good.. but nice cgi work.

[hipster.]

Needs more texture work. And you should look into making small animated details even if they're barely visible. That's what makes a good cg artist closer to being a great cg artist. just take a look at the ships from id4. And that was HOW many years ago?

PS: there is a videography forum for this sort of thing.

They must've visited to abduct the GTI and discover the wonder of German Engineering.

It would work out like all the other movies, something that us natives have grown use to inevitably kills the visitors for us. In this case german engineering makes all their ships throw Codes and go into Limp mode.

[Beltfed]

The ones I was lucky to spot, were just round gray discs in the sky (no blinking beacons)....one up front and two following at a distance behind.

Earlier, there were others that cruised with Orange lights on (solid, not blinking)...then would disappear.

My guess is they cruise with the lights shut down, when they want to see something or whatever they light up. Were like glowing orange objects that moved up and down.

They weren't planes, weather balloons, helicopters, Chinese lanterns, etc.



Interesting night, others saw them as well. Very surreal, big skeptic here before that.

GLI Dan, that's pretty damn funny!

haha

Cool stuff

Hope they took extra coilpacks with them.

Agreed. Maybe if the reactions were more crazier and the video quality was ****ier.

Santa Clarita... Cal Arts student?

Its too bad, one friend went home early that night....very much missed out.

So, not a skeptic on UFOs anymore.

Next up is to see a ghost, until then still a skeptic.

[RobMarkToo]

Cool. Didn't look real exactly, but definitely movie quality FX
