- Select interesting frames from the UFO video.
- Extract (crop and interpolate) UFO closeups (enlargements) from the frames.
- Create an online slideshow of UFO closeups.
- Examine the UFO's features, including its components and activities.
At approximately 10:00 PM on October 1, 2015, in Ocean Beach, Alabama, a witness made a video recording of a UFO as it moved east to west slowly across the sky. The witness reported his UFO sighting to MUFON, which investigated the sighting and posted the video on YouTube.
Note: To view this video in slow motion or frame-by-frame, you can use either RowVid or Anilyzer. For more information, please see How to analyze UFO videos.
UFO closeups
Using procedures in Analyzing UFO videos through interpolated closeups, I've extracted interpolated closeups from various frames of the video in MUFON case 71086.
Each uninterpolated UFO closeup has relatively few pixels, typically between 200 and 2500. Therefore, we cannot see details as clearly as we prefer because each pixel appears as a relatively-large square. However, graphics software uses interpolation to calculate many new pixels among the uninterpolated pixels, which smooths out the squares. While not perfect, an interpolated closeup helps us see general shapes more clearly than would the patchwork of pixels in an uninterpolated closeup.
UFO slideshow
I've created an online slideshow, Closeups of the UFO in MUFON case 71086, which lets you see clear, large, sequential images. As you scroll through the slideshow, you can see how the object changes over time. I identify each closeup according to the time at which its frame had been recorded after the start of the video, at 00.00 seconds. This slideshow consists of closeups extracted from 27 frames, recorded at 0.04-second intervals, starting at time 48.14 and ending at time 49.18.
Note: My UFO slideshows are central to these analyses. I initiate each UFO-analysis project by creating a slideshow. Multiple, sequential images are more informative. No single image can show whether the object is making changes.
UFO features
I've examined this UFO's features (components and activities), after extracting its interpolated closeups and creating its slideshow. In my opinion, if the video is authentic (not a hoax), these closeups indicate that this UFO is probably an object of unknown origin.

UFO components - As shown in Figure 1, this UFO exhibits five major components: three circular components at the top and left, one circular component at the top right, and one compound component at the lower right. The middle component at the left seems to have a permanent extension. Circular components in the object usually seem to have dark centers and/or slots. The lower-right component seems to have three cylindrical subcomponents; the visible ends appear as three circles.

| Figure 1 - UFO at 48.14 seconds - This object seems to be made mostly of solid materials. |
UFO activities - Compare Figures 1 and 2 (both are also in the slideshow). The components of this UFO seem to make changes individually, but not as a grouping. Among the components, their relative positions remain static. Circular components in the object usually seem to have dark centers and/or slots. Components at the top and left make frequent shape and color changes. Components at the right make few changes, if any.
