FLIR Footage

Started by Randy Yates October 7, 2007
I have an ex-special forces friend who is now a Haliburton security
guy in Iraq. I don't know where he got this from, but I thought it
might be of technical and political interest and a topic for
conversation for the group.

This portrays the destruction of four humans, so if you're averse to
this type of material, please refrain from viewing.

I got an error message "No permission to access page" when trying to watch. Apart from that, the ability to view from a distance is nothing to play with. two days ago I used my telescope to view a moose hunting party in action. The guys were hunting in a hillside forest and I viewed them from another hill across the fjord, some 1 km away. I could see two guys on post and one moose running out from the forest straight towards one of them. Unfortunately, this particular animal was not on their hunting quota, so they could not fire. Nevertheless, the episode got my adrenaline flowing. Anyway, it would be very interesting to have a thermal observation capacity, to try and see animals which are hidden in the shrubbery. Rune

I'm wondering if you didn't misinterpret my post, Rune, because your comments don't quite seem to be relevent to the video. Have a look at the video. -- % Randy Yates % "Watching all the days go by... %% Fuquay-Varina, NC % Who are you and who am I?" %%% 919-577-9882 % 'Mission (A World Record)', %%%% <yates@ieee.org> % *A New World Record*, ELO http://www.digitalsignallabs.com
If you type in 'Gunship' into the YouTube search bar you'll see loads if 
horrible stuff like this, what exactly IS your point? That people use 
infrared telescopic cameras? Or that 30mm ac-130 gunship rounds can kill 
buildings?

Pretty gruesome, Randy. Looks like a turkey shoot... and the people didn't seem to know they were in any danger. Ciao, Peter K. -- "And he sees the vision splendid of the sunlit plains extended And at night the wondrous glory of the everlasting stars."

I stated my intention in my initial post. If you want to pick a fight, come on over to NC!

Exactly: gruesome is the appropriate word. I question the action no matter who the targets were or what they were guilty of. I guess that's the bottom line of the military: it's a killing machine. I wonder how far off the pilot was from the targets. I suppose you could estimate if you knew the speed of the bullets, or whatever it was they were firing. It seemed like the people were just, um, powdered. Horrid. -- % Randy Yates % "Midnight, on the water... %% Fuquay-Varina, NC % I saw... the ocean's daughter." %%% 919-577-9882 % 'Can't Get It Out Of My Head' %%%% <yates@ieee.org> % *El Dorado*, Electric Light Orchestra http://www.digitalsignallabs.com

Well, I was glad to see that the dog got out of the way. Given that one is in a conflict, it's good to have an unfair advantage in weaponry. Whether to be in a conflict is completely different question, but given our guys are in a fight, I'm very happy to see them well equipped. And, yeah, there's been stuff like that all over the internet pretty much since posting video became common. If you care to look very far, there are propaganda videos by insurgents showing sniper attacks on western forces. Those can be quite disturbing.

Interesting. The engagement distance was probably around 3km judging from the shots to time of impact. -- Dirk http://www.transcendence.me.uk/ - Transcendence UK Remote Viewing classes in London
