   EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:   
   - The data from (so far) 3000 stars being monitored for planetary   
   transits by the TESS space telescope have been stitched together to   
   form a movie of the whole sky.   
   - The sky is divided into 10x10 grid squares and several TESS stars   
   assigned to each square. The central flux is normalised to av=0 and   
   sd=0 and averaged for each square. The squares are assigned a color   
   value depending on "average anomaly" for each 2.4 hr period between   
   2018 and 2022 and the resulting 13k frames plotted, along with letters   
   for the positions of key planets.   
   - The resulting plot shows unusual large-area coordinated variations   
   in light intensity from the stars under observation. In particular   
   large regions with linear or line-like shapes appear from time to   
   time. It's calculated even 5 dark squares from the characteristics of   
   the data should only show up around 20 times in 1 mn frames. But   
   they show up dozens of times here in ~13k frames.   
   - Other patterns include regions of coordinated brightening of dozens   
   of stars under observation by TESS. Since the stars are very distance   
   from each other we are forced to conclude such brightening may   
   represent bright objects that have briefly (or longer) passed between   
   the remove stars and the TESS telescope.   
   - Further rough calculations show some of the phenomena seen may   
   represent objects between the earth and moon travelling laterally   
   around 100 km/sec. Objects much further away than the moon might be   
   travelling slower. Objects closer to earth -- e.g. the 1000 km   
   observed by a group of Ukrainian astronomers in Kiev -- would indicate   
   a much higher speed 10x higher i.e. 1000 km/sec, a value comparable to   
   one they calculated for an object seen moving against the background   
   sky around 1000 km above the earth.

   ... We present a broad range of UAPs. We see them everywhere. We observe a   
   significant number of objects whose nature is not clear. Flights of single,   
   group and squadrons of the ships were detected, moving at speeds from 3 to   
   15 degrees per second. Some bright objects exhibit regular brightness   
   variability in the range of 10 - 20 Hz. Two-site observations of UAPs at a   
   base of 120 km with 2 synchronised cameras allowed the detection of   
   a variable object, at an altitude of 1170 km. It flashes for one hundredth   
   of a second at an average of 20 Hz.   
   [Astronomers in Ukraine have undertaken their own independent survey   
   of objects they see flying over the Kyiv region at speeds around 15 km/sec.   
   They are watching the daytime sky.   
   They see many objects --, some bright and some dark, different sizes.   
   They travel often singly but sometimes in large groups.   
   They are not likely to be anything sent by Russia, the US, or any other   
   country].
