   After downloading about 40% of available images from the TESS   
   telescope that's been orbiting between E and M since 2018 I've started   
   to stitch them together for form a so-far-very-crude motion picture of   
   the sky over the period.   
      
   While the statistical stuff says many coordinated anomalous variations in   
   brightness of groups of stars highly relate to various types of UFO   
   activity seen across N Am, the final movie will hopefully show   
   visible-to-the-human-eye interesting patterns that might suggest   
   objects coming and going from fixed parts of the sky as well as the   
   harder-to-find-by-s/w movement of objects between different parts of   
   the sky.   
      
   The movie I've put up at   
      
      
      
   is a low-precision display of the avg brightness of a 10 deg wide band   
   at Declination +65 deg across the whole sky from RA 0 to RA 360   
   between 2018 and 2022 with a time-step of 2.5 hrs.   
      
   At different points you can see strange variations in brightness of   
   certain parts of the sky. These are not likely planetary transits   
   because we are averaging over parts of the sky 10x10 degrees.  Whole   
   groups of stars are brightening and dimming on average together over   
   large parts of the sky as seen from TESS.   
      
   As I say, these variations seem to highly correlate with the rise and   
   fall of certain UFO activity (mostly objects described by Americans   
   and Canadians as "pale" and oftentimes seen at dawn and dusk).  The   
   stats says the correlations are highest several days before and   
   several days after the reported UFO activity peaks -- as if objects   
   moved across certain groups of stars at some point, were seen on Earth   
   several days later, and then returned to wherever via the same part of   
   the sky several days after that.   
      
   There are also "unexplained" large jumps between various sections of   
   the movie. It seems each TESS "sector" of images (so far from 1 to 53)   
   generated by TESS has slightly different parameters. Each "sector"   
   likely correspond with successive orbits of the telescope that's in an   
   orbit locked 2:1 with the lunar month. It's possible the moon or earth   
   are supplying some of the anomalous light being seen in the movie and   
   can be at some point be filtered out if the position of the telescope   
   in the E-M system over time can be calculated from the published info   
   or possibly via JPL's "Horizons" system from the relevant orbital parameters.   
      
   The current movie is a test run for the software using about 1%   
   of the so far 39 mn 30 MB images uploaded.  Using some tuned   
   smoothing and interpolation a false-color density plot of the whole   
   sky will hopefully show an even more interesting sequence of activity.

   ... 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 Ukraine at speeds up to 15 km/sec.   
   They are watching the daytime sky.   
   They see many of them, some bright and some dark.   
   They travel singly and sometimes in large groups.   
   They are not likely to be anything sent by Russia, the US, or any other
