...Bessent finally agreed to submit his original video and camera for testing at Village Labs in north Phoenix. Owner Jim Dilettoso has more than 25 years' experience dissecting unexplained videos and photographs.
Running the video through a vectorscope and waveform monitor reveals unusual characteristics in a number of technical indicators. The black level, white level, “pedestal”, “back porch” and “blanking pulse” are markers that can read quality of a video as well as help determine whether a clip has been altered from the original.
Liljegren finds inconsistent black levels throughout the video. “When that happens, it raises more questions. I wish I could have the original tape front to back.”
[...]
Dilettoso then began looking at the images on the video itself. “First of all, if it's in auto focus [as Bessent told us several times], why is there no continual adjustment that's going on even when the camera is moving?”
Then there's the noise. Grainy video in most, but not all of the picture. Dilettoso increases the contrast on the tape and a couple of things become apparent. “Out here where these little bushes and things are, it's very grainy. It's everywhere in the entire picture except one place.” He points at the area where the light pattern is. “Right there.”
Dilettoso finds that the area of the sky where the lights appear is much more uniformly black than the rest of the image. “The center object is very different from the outer objects,” he says. “I've never had the opportunity to hold a camera in my hands where we could get a distinct white ball here, particularly one that would fly through and land there, where the outer objects aren't going to bloom and bleed over into the others.”
Dilettoso gives us one final video indicator of a hoax: the date and Web site characters Bessent added to the tape. The color and shadowing are remarkably similar to several of the mystery lights.
