Hind UFO - Wagon Wheel Effect
|
What’s so interesting about a Hind flying in the sky? Well its because this one doesn’t have its rotors moving and still flies! This is called the Wagon-Wheel Effect where the eyes perceive a spoked wheel to rotate more slowly than the true rotation hence the optical illusion of the immobile rotors. If you think this is a toy Hind, the 2nd clip would prove this wrong. 2 video clips after the jump. |

This is an interesting article and given our perception of the Wagon-Wheel effect this may explain some incidents documented in the states last year of a similar nature..
