MH370x Quick FAQs: More damning evidence—the orbs do not interact with the smoke/contrails. When playing the footage side by side, you’ll see that not only are they not in sync, there is NO smoke interaction in the drone video in the corresponding frames! Why? 🤔 #MH370 #MH370x

Here's how difficult it is to match the shockwave from the MH370 video. Feel free to recreate it yourself in After Effects if you'd like.

I used Agisoft Metashape to reconstruct the 3D camera positions of 8 photos taken by Jonas on his 2012 Japan flight. By identifying visible ground landmarks (like Mt. Fuji), I placed the cameras in real-world space and showed their path on a 3D map. #MH370x

#MH370x Quick FAQs: The drone is 100% from Jetstrike—the hoaxer used a VERY SPECIFIC texture map ONLY IN JETSTRIKE in order to fake the thermal image. The “hotspot” is literally due to the stripes on the drone being brighter in that area. Try it yourself.

For any not up to speed, this “drone” has been identified as the 3D drone from the pack below which released prior to the hoax videos. It also works in reverse. If you apply colorama with a negative or gray ramp, you’ll start to see the specular map. web.archive.org/web/20131013…

Let me know if someone can figure out how to make the raw photos FROM the video, and not the other way around. xitter.cf/bakerstuts/status/1926…
Here's how difficult it is to match the Textures.com (previously cgtextures.com) and/or Jonas' raw camera photos to the background of the MH370 satellite video. Feel free to recreate it yourself in After Effects if you'd like.

#MH370x Quick FAQs: A reminder that the photos in the background of the MH370x satellite hoax video have been geolocated to just over Tako Bay in Shizuoka, Japan—NOT Diego Garcia. Who would try to fake this? You can barely even see it. 🤔

This is from a stream from last year, where we also showed a number of other landmarks visible in the photos proving without a doubt that they were taken over Japan. xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1BRKjPYmj…

Here is an example of how you can create realistic “volumetric” lighting using the luminance values of a 2D image. This is just one of the many ways the lighting behind the “zap” could have been created. #MH370 #MH370x

MH370x Quick FAQs: The clouds in the satellite video aren’t the only things that don’t move! Look closer at the background. The wave crests are NOT MOVING! This is how we know that it is a still photo, and not a feed from a “satellite”! #MH370 #MH370x

MH370x Quick FAQs: Let’s revisit this because it seems there has been some confusion lately. You CAN use 2D images in 3D scenes. It is done SO OFTEN in this industry, to say that it is impossible is so inaccurate! Here’s a really quick example! #MH370 #MH370x

#MH370x Quick FAQs: I hear often that these videos were suppressed, and that’s evidence of authenticity. Here’s proof that many DID see these videos that year. No one suppressed it. They fell out of the spotlight because they’re hoaxes. There was no conspiracy to keep them hidden. 1M views, 955 comments, with only 20 from the past 5 years. See for yourself. (Title basically translates to “airplane abduction by UFOs caught on video”) This SHOULD go without saying, but: do not harass this channel. youtu.be/69V5btijqJE

Here’s a screenshot of the description showing the uploaded date. It says: “A pair of videos are circulating on social media that show the abduction of a plane by three circular objects. It’s said to be the plane MH370 from Malaysia Airlines which disappeared this year.”

Super quick #mh370x FAQ: These videos did not take an insane “50-day” render time. The hoaxer saved time by using STOCK ASSETS instead of modeling, texturing, or simulating. 2D billboards/static photo background completely removes the need for volumetrics.
MH370x Quick FAQs: It is NOT necessary to create “volumetric simulations” to fake lighting in a composition. You also DO NOT NEED a fully 3D rendered scene to accomplish this. The MH370x videos are a HOAX, and made with VFX, full stop. Here’s proof. #MH370 #MH370x

I crawled all the Archive.org pre-2014 captures of cgtextures.com/news.php for photos that had been captured — 880 photos. Every one of them existed on Textures before 2014 and all have a photo createdAt date in October 2014. docs.google.com/spreadsheets…

24) No, “debunkers” didn’t manipulate the shockwave VFX Recently, some very confused #MH370x individuals tried to argue that we, ”the debunkers”, somehow were able to retroactively re-insert edited versions of the Pyromania VFX into various online sources in order to debunk the two hoax videos. It really doesn’t get more silly than this, so let’s see why this is bullshit. a) The argument is there is a match between the videos and the VFX (an astonishing admission, keep this in mind), but the match is forced through deceptive editing of the VFX by “us”. The VFX version available now is thus different from older versions which don’t match..... b) It is argued that for the satellite video zap frame, an “inserted shape” or “satellite shape” was deceptively edited in to force the match. The details in question are primarily dots at the 12 o’clock position above the zap, but also the features on the left and right of the flames. c) From the entire VFX it is beyond obvious that the so-called satellite shape is in fact small particles on the surface underneath the flames being illuminated by the flames, as well as what appears to be duct tape to the left and right likely hiding the ignition. d) In the frames used for the hoax videos, these particles are still poorly lit by the yet to completely combust flames. Later on when the flames are brighter, the same particles are much more visible, but they are clearly the same. It is obvious that in lowering the quality of the VFX, the less illuminated frames would lose these details first. e) To make the argument, the MH370x folks have compared many available versions of the VFX, arguing the “oRiGiNaL” version does not have these dots and other features. However these comparisons are made on often very low-quality versions of the VFX. They point to the dots missing in the first frames in these versions as evidence, when that is perfectly explained by d). f) However more importantly, even in lower quality versions, the dots of the satellite shape are visible, for example in a december 2014 YouTube upload (youtube.com/watch?v=kKXkIyhP…) and a 2007 GettysImages upload (gettyimages.co.uk/detail/vid…). g) Proponents argue, baselessly and without evidence, that dates, like the 2007 Getty upload, can be changed arbitrarily, whenever an upload date doesn’t suit them, displaying the dishonesty. h) The argument would also mean a debunker would have the capabilities to not only alter the VFX without even the creator being able to spot it, but also re-inserting the edited version on multiple different platforms, media and channels, many making it appear as if the upload preceded MH370. That is tinfoil conspiracy nonsense, not something approaching reality. i) Making things more confusing is the fact that some of these folks readily acknowledge the match between Shockwave VFX and the thermal video, which really begs the question why there is even a need for editing just the satellite zap frame? Make it make sense? j) Given that they acknowledged the match, and their argument is nonsense, I guess the only conclusion is that the videos are fake, amirite? 🤣 next

MH370x Quick FAQs: There are several inconsistencies in these VFX hoax videos. Here is a glaring example of one in the FLIR footage. This inconsistency would be statistically impossible to occur with genuine footage, and directly contradicts the current claim. #MH370 #MH370x
