Follow the lights in a surviving film print
A newly accessible archive print makes Newhouse’s small moving lights inspectable alongside the differing analyses of Baker, Hartmann and Gross.
What to keep in mind
The filmed points do not resolve the shapes recalled before filming. This digitization is a surviving print; unrelated sewing footage begins around 0:55 and is not part of the sighting.
Follow the group, not just the camera
Choose two bright points and compare their separation while the camera moves. Which changes can be described without a fixed horizon?
Separate brightness from structure
Find a change in brightness or visibility. Can the tiny image distinguish a surface feature from exposure, orientation or film-copy effects?
Where does the sighting end?
Identify the boundary before the unrelated footage around 0:55. How would counting the whole file as one event distort an account of duration?
