ecoli Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 sounds like light is be refracted by dust particles, and being picked up by camera's as images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokele Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 They're just insects. Because they're moving so much faster than the frame-rate of the camera, you get those images. Each of the "wings" is a wingbeat of the insect. In fact, if you note that most have 4 "wings", and most home video cameras have a rate of 30 frames/second. This gives us 120 wingbeats/sec, which is about average for most fast-flying insects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang292 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Mokele is right, I watched a documentary that proved they were just ordinary flying insects stretched out by the camera's rate of frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
