    Waited for the spy satellite stuff, never came. Misleading title.

      Gadget Addict I'd say your comment would be a bit narrow minded... Don't get me wrong, I clicked the video in the interest of seeing these perverted pieces of space junk fall out of the sky, but the title of the video isn't wrong at all to the relation of the content. He hunts, one definition being "pursues, searches" satellites, but I do get what you mean.
      Then again, all media is misleading in one way or another.

      ***** Why's it shit? Because it isn't what you're used to? Its not the brain washing shit they feed to the public? They cover grounds no other journalist even fucking dares to think of. The only thing I know is fake about them, is that there is no way they can fit into an airplane with balls as big as theirs. Go back to watching Fox News.

      @@TenzaBurabura Yeah, I’ll take the first cab heading out of the solar system. Seriously have you ever spent any period of time in the desert country where the stars take over the night sky? The blanket of light pollution is changing cultures in a bad way. It’s cutting people off from the entire visible universe. That messes with the human psyche more than most people can imagine. People no longer see the wonders of the universe, and learn all that it teaches. Then you get whole cultures who think the night sky is just a few “lights” and that we live on a flat earth. It’s a bad thing.

      We have Nyepi once a year on this island (Bali). You're not allowed off your property (you're detained and probably in trouble if caught on the streets) so there's no cars on the roads/street lights, people are encouraged to only use lights at night that are not visible from outside. For this time the sky is insaaaaaaaaane, lack of light pollution - totally get what you mean :)

    Well. That kind of sucked. Why didn't your editor just spring for another night and you could go and get the shots that you wanted to. I think that kind of effort would have produced an award winning expose of "Satellites are Spying on Us", and here is the proof. Instead you give us what: A Frenchman in hisa backyard lamenting cloud cover. Cool.

    Dark Sky is a must have for both viewing and telephotography, other your eyes never get dark-adapted if there is too much ground light. I used to haul my telescope 18 miles south and set up on a high hill overlooking a river valley. Winter is best because nights are longer and skies are clearer

    If you want to find unknown satellites, get one of those sat tracking apps on your phone. Watch the sky and wait for objects to come overhead. Anything that comes over that isn't showing on the sat tracking app is likely to be a spy sat or unknown debris.

    @mandan7654 12 лет назад

    The "Russian Intelligence Satellite" (2:39) he is speaking of is in fact a USSR era spy satellite. Intelligence is often used in place of the slang term "spy" considering the shady tone of the word spy. So please, do some research before you make a stupid comment like that. High visibility posts can be detrimental to videos, and it is wrong, as in unethical, to make them when they are unwarranted.
