Car of The Day
Cadillac XP-840 Eldorado Fastback, 1965. A V16 two-seater coupe designed under Chuck Jordan which was the culmination of Cadillac’s experiments with multi-cylinder concepts (12 and V16). There was no back window, instead a reversing camera replaced the interior rear-view mirror, 60 years later this is now used by Polestar and others.

Elon Musk
New York Moves to Shutter Tesla Dealerships in Blow to Musk
Lawmakers in New York state are moving to shut down Elon Musk’s Tesla dealerships in yet another blow to the billionaire CEO.
New York State Sen. Patricia Fahy and other lawmakers are fighting to remove a waiver that allows Tesla to operate five in-person dealerships in New York, instead forcing the company to sell their vehicles through dealer franchises, The New York Times reported Sunday.
- Why do they need a waiver to open a dealership?bainbridge
- some places (like New York, evidently), have laws that forbid automakers from also owning dealerships to prevent competing with independent dealers/franchisors.monNom
- I think dealers originally came about to prevent consumers from suing manufacturers directly (no contract with manufacturer, the contract is with the dealer)monNom
- But laws changed over time to give consumers some recourse against manufacturers, so the dealer concept is a bit of an anachronism now.monNom

Russia-Ukraine Invasion
“You've no clue what you're on about. Post proof of those imaginary North Koreans in Ukraine”.
—MilanAside from all of the photographic and video evidence, which you'd no doubt smear as synthesised propaganda, about straight from the horse's mouth?
http://kcna.kp/en/article/q/7f7e…
Or are you going to err on a technicality with them having fought in the Kursk region?
- Kursk is not in Ukraine, idiot.Milan
- Yes, hence erring on technicalities, idiot.Nairn
- Shift the goalposts, go on.Nairn
- What's your point? North Korean boys got some training in modern warfare while helping completely cleanse Kursk. Again, they never entered Ukraine, retard.Milan
- The point is to highlight how fork-tongued an utterly unreliable you are. They're 'involved in the conflict', you implied they weren't. You are deceitful.Nairn
- Or, perhaps, just utterly credulous and a bit stupid.Nairn
- https://en.wikipedia…Nairn
- You said they were fighting in Ukraine, reliable one.Milan
- Where did I? I specifically allowed for your interpretation. I just wonder how you'd howl if there were EU/US boots on the ground, near the front lines.Nairn
- You are a regurgitating shill with questionable mores and a proclivity for targetted bullshit. Transparent as all your kind.Nairn
- Sorry - "EU/US boots on the ground, near the front lines. IN UKRAINE herself". I double-dare you to suggest you'd not consider them part of the conflict.Nairn
- Let's ignore the fact that NATO countries sent most of their military equipment and ammo to Ukraine along with intel officers, trainers, mercenaries...Milan
- Using the U.S. satellites for all targeting and Starlink for communications.Milan
- And they still lost.Milan

UFO of the day
Another recent animated sequence. This one has an interesting horseshoe shape. Like I mentioned previously, there seems to be many different types of UAP in the sky at any given time. I can photograph numerous airliners coming in for landing and get a mix of different UAP. Helicopters get buzzed by these things too, but airliners can get buzzed/tagged multiple times at once.
- Could it be of interdimensional origin?utopian
- That is one of the current theories. The way they move and the speed? It wouldn't surprise me.futurefood
- They seem to travel thousands of ft through the air in fractions of a second.futurefood

I've had a ridiculous day booting today, up early I hit a new boot in Arbroath next to the football ground at 7.15am, late I know TELL ME ABOUT IT. So I left home picked up a black McD coffee en-route and sauntered into the field to have a wander. The fruit & veg man was there, always a good sign, and I got about 3/4 the way along a row and there's a bloke kneeling down in the familiar digging pose. I stood behind him to see what he was looking at as he flipped by original Mothers of Invention, Kevin Ayres, John Martyn albums, picking out the Genesis, Tull, Hendrix and Floyd, all originals in super clean nick (as far as I could tell by the sleeves). He got up asked how much they were, the woman said her husband, who was standing next to her, wanted a pound each, but I'll let you have them for 50p each (!!) Jeez, god knows what he got tbh as I got down and pulled 25 in under 25 seconds including pink Island John Martyn, Andwella, unboxed Harvest albums by Kevin Ayres, BJH and others. But best of all the Omega Red Star album, I never even checked condition of any of them but when I got back to the car most look hardly played, just incredible for a collection like this to come out so cheap. I paid £15 for the lot as I was hardly going to give her £12.50 and she even gave me a canvas bag to put them in, crackers.
So happy as a clam but with a tinge of what I must have missed by minutes, curse you McD and your reasonably priced coffee! I headed home for breakfast and after porridge (I have a very Scottish wife) I headed out to the lunchtime boot that kicks off on a village green about 20 miles from me at 1pm. Arriving early so I could wander about and see what was out as they do like to tell the sellers here that there is NO SELLING BEFORE 1pm. So strict, but for me it means I can see where the records are and hit those stalls first. One bloke had an incredible amount of 70's African & Indian albums and singles, I spent £60 with him, another lady had obscure labelled 7" from the 80's at 50p each so I basically spend all the money I had on me except for a fiver. As I was leaving a woman came up to me asking if I was still looking for records to which I replied erm, yes, "well go to the charity shop on the village high street it's open today and they have loads of records." So I did and they did indeed have more bleeding records albeit weird folk stuff, I spent £6 as I found a pound in the car and I came home and played many of them, cleaned some and watched my team win 5:1 and The Championship. So it has been a tiring but rewarding day but unfortunately this doesn't happen every weekend.

UFO of the day
Recently had a spare camera converted to Full Spectrum+IR. Best decision I've made. While photographing UAP with a stock camera tuned to visible light is possible, soon after I converted the camera,
imaging these objects became super consistent. Like a night and day difference.There seems to be so many different objects hidden in the IR spectrum. Below are only a couple examples of objects I have photographed. I am shooting stills in continuous mode @ 5 fps. This enables me to get the highest possible quality out of the image rather than shooting 4k video. But I also have really interesting 4K Infrared video.
You guys are going to trip out when you see the other images I've been taking with this camera. Can't wait to share the rest.
I've started to notice these streaks in many images. I originally thought they were meteors flying through the atmosphere, but they were happening a little too often and funny enough, capturing a meteor under these circumstances is more rare than a UAP. I got lucky with this one as I captured enough frames to create an animated sequence. Details in the .gif
This one below was my first attempt at creating an animated sequence. This is a typical capture of the objects the UAP researcher and I have been studying. I do believe I have captured a clearer image of these objects. They are roughly the size of a basketball, maybe a little larger.
- Forgot to add, these airliners are on a landing approach. They are at around 3,150 ft altitude.futurefood
- There’s dudes out there capturing ultra fast, almost invisible b/c so small and fast uaps zipping aroundprophetone
- Found him, southern ca mostly, near coast and military base nearby? he posts lots of stuff https://youtu.be/Oca…prophetone

- These aren’t just bugs?monospaced
- ^Hey Mono, wait to check out the other images I’m working on. There is no way to confuse these with bugs.futurefood
- @Prophet, nice! I’ve actually been working with him for past year. I create almost all of the interpolated images for his yt videos.futurefood
- coolprophetone
- You can’t see them with the naked eye and they’re tiny things zooming by. Sounds like tiny bugs.monospaced
- My infrared security cam captures them all the time. Go figure.monospaced
- Ok I’ll bite could be bugsprophetone
- Buttttt also could be uap. Have a look at these images, distant scale (large object) and speed around aircraft. Also usually like a single one visible at a timeprophetone
- If bugs how is it almost always one single one in focus and not 2 or three or twenty, if focus is close and bug scale hereprophetone
- Just look at futurefood’s gif below, it’s a single sphere dot clocking the plane, not two, not many in different sizes etcprophetone
- So could be bugs in some case of course... but these examples and others out there present things logically, properly, same depth of field etcprophetone
- I mean forget bugs I could photoshop a cabbage patch kid flying as a gif by if i wanted lolprophetone
- There’s just so many reports of these things zipping around, and some clips up close zipping by as people filming out a passenger airline window etcprophetone
- 4.21 i the above link. SURELY that is a bug? has bug wings flappin'microkorg
- OK, hear me out ... FPV drones hired to check everyone has their window blinds up for landing.microkorg
- "FPV drones... to check everyone" honestly this wouldn't surprise me soon, imagine this but facial recognition, tracking id/movement of all of us 'bugs'prophetone
- This stuff is all very interesting at very leastprophetone
- All feedback/ideas are greatly welcomed. I am trying to present these images entirely as the camera sees it.futurefood
- Right now, I'm currently working on converting my cinema camera to Full Spectrum+IR as well as a dual visible/IR camera set up.futurefood
- When shooting with a stock sensor, I have observed these objects as more blurry/distorted.futurefood
- Shooting IR (760nm and longer) objects are more clearer and more consistently present in the still images.futurefood
- So, lately my focus has been creating IR images.futurefood
- I also plan on creating an email for this project for anyone interested in receiving my raw files. Anyone can inspect the images. More to come soonfuturefood

- I don't think that an insect, I have been seeing other amateur and professional skywatchers pick up similar UAPs and orbs with FLIR and infrared cameras.utopian

Ugh..cheapest decent FLIR cam is like $8k
damn lolfuturefood - If it’s a bug it’s not anywhere near a plane and it’s not in focus. My night camera shows this shit all the time.monospaced
