Olga of 67th Street
zhlédnutí 585Před 10 lety
For many years beginning in the 1940s, Olga Bogach was a model, muse, and secretary for many artists who lived in her building on the Upper West Side. I met her with my father-in-law in 2007 and rough cut the footage from our brief visit in 2009. In 2013, I pulled it off the hard drive in which it was trapped, so that it could be seen for even a few days during the Bloomberg administration.

Echo II Satelloon Inflation, 1964
zhlédnutí 12KPřed 14 lety
Called the most beautiful object ever launched into space, NASA deployed the Echo II satelloon in 1964. It was a 135-foot diameter inflatable sphere of aluminum-coated Mylar that functioned as a passive reflective communications satellite. Like its predecessor Echo I, it was visible to the naked eye. I am researching Project Echo in order to recreate one and exhibit it as an art object. The his...
The Restless Universe, by Max Born

The Restless Universe [1936, 2nd ed. 1951] is a general interest physics book by the Nobel Laureate Max Born. It includes flipbook-style animations of various physical phenomena in the margins. In his foreword, Born actually calls them films. They run from the middle of the book outwards, so I inadvertently filmed the first half running backwards. Starting at the front of the book, left page: I...

guys this comment section isn’t a support group for the mentally disabled, take that stuff somewhere else.
I had no idea about this thing until very recently, and I only just found out that there was footage of it! I never really considered that balloons could work in space, I guess I just figured they’d pop. I never really took the time to think about it but I guess it makes sense. In any case, it’s fantastic how alien this thing looks while it’s inflating.
So, where's our giant blow up telescope? Half sphere clear, half sphere reflective. I've only been waiting for 60 ish years.
too bad telescope mirrors AREN'T SPHERICAL lol
@@Muonium1 You saying a concave sphere has no focal point? Might ought to check. There is no issue making a balloon with parabolic surface either.

Excellent filming before camera descent. In other films they say these balloons became as big as a football stadium, at the maximum-inflation!!!!

I heard that it was going to be passing over MIlwaukee in 1964 after my dinner time. I'm a ham radio op so I thought I would give it a try to bounce a signal off of it and maybe make a contact. I used the 15 meter amateur phone band.Not CW.100 watts AM with a Johnson Viking 2. RX, BC312. The band was dead. No stations could be heard at all until I heard one calling me. That balloon was traveling so fast that the station contacted faded out within about one or two seconds and I never got his call sign but I do remember it was a 9 station as I am too. His signal was very strong for about one second, then gone. That would have been about the coolest qsl card ever if I had gotten his call sign.
I had the honor and privilege of interviewing Olga for my book series on American illustrator and portrait painter, Howard Chandler Christy, titled An Affair with Beauty -- The Mystique of Howard Chandler Christy. She provided great insight and clarity into the Christy studio in the late 1940s and very early 1950s and conferred valuable information about the artist's life and his captivating personality. I was very sorry to hear she had passed in April 2020.
Cool video, thank you for your efforts in helping to preserve and share this important communications milestone. One small correction to your description; referencing the now Declassified debriefing interview with Lt. Col. Harold E. Mitchell regarding Project CORONA, another similar NASA High Altitude Balloon/Satellite, the CORONA Satellite/Camera Gondola (their phrasing) did, in fact, drop parachute-suspended film Canisters, which were retrieved by a special trained USAF SAC team using a specially modified C-119 Cargo Plane. This methodology seems to have persisted until the Digital Imaging Satellites took over, which gave us, for example, the JPEG image compression scheme. Those images were relayed via RF to ground based NOCs, which Satellites like ECHO I & II would almost certainly have helped with. That debriefing interview used to be relatively easy to find on the NROA and CIA CORONA Archives sites, but the old links to it are now 404'd. I uploaded a copy of it to my Dropbox, feel free to PM me for the link. It's fascinating in its details, and makes it clear that most (if not all) Satellites were, and still are, balloon suspended. That was confirmed for me by more than one retired and active Intel/Communications Officers from various DoD organs, as well, but I don't have permission to cite them on that (understandably). Contrary to DoD Disinformation Campaigns, there is no Magic Distance from the Earth that negates gravity. Even NASA 's own illustrations and other descriptions make it clear that Gravity/Mass still bring objects quickly down to the Earth from those heights, as evidenced by their admission of just such facts in the CORONA documentation that's been Declassified. Never forget: it's not really the DoD's job to Always Tell The Truth, especially regarding sensitive proprietary technology (some SERIOUS understatement there, btw). Only children believe those kinds of Fairy Tales, where "the Government always tells it like it is!". This goes double for secretly developed (that's most of it, BTW) INFOSEC/COMINT related technologies. Again, the public owes you a debt of gratitude for helping to preserve this, because NASA sure didn't. I'm pretty convinced many IC Brass regret releasing a generally-unredacted version of Lt. Col. Mitchell's debriefing interview on CORONA, they insist on continuing to display the old (wildly misleading/inaccurate) "Cover Story" versions on their Archives sites, even though CORONA was Declassified back in 1995. I have family members who work/worked in those specific areas, one overhears things that most people wouldn't believe, even when you show them the proof, so it's all the more gratifying when some kind of documentation can be referenced to help communicate/demonstrate these things to the brainwashed and bamboozled skeptics who don't understand that Deception and Misdirection are part and parcel of Military/IC OPSEC/INFOSEC.
are you a flat earther or something?
The CORONA satellites weren't balloon satellites.
bro has no IDEA what an orbit is 😂
Great work by engineers of the 60s. This demonstrated a passive communications satellite which would allow you to bounce radio transmissions of it and thus transmit over the horizon. Presaged "active" communications satellites. The inflation system and the mylar material were new developments then. Most don't even know about this. There were a series of these diameter approx. same as 10 story building. They launched a video camera with it and transmitted the signal backdown to Earth I think on these. Otherwise they might have used the film capsules that reenter like they did on Apollo Saturn V stages where they were used to watch hydrogen and oxygen fuel settling (yes those film canisters popped of before the stages started to reenter and burn - the capsules where retrieved over the ocean on parachutes - a remarkable feat). Engineers in those days were incredibly smart, clever and capable - ditto those of the Soviet Union.
this may be video of the classified ones which had film canisters its prob not echo series which didnt have videos afaik
All these flattards here. You're all wasted space

were the hell was the camera man positioned in space to capture this footage ? looking at the Plankton & fish swimming past in the background and it being 1964 it 100% must of been filmed by the beatles from there yellow submarine
The only fish I see swimming past here are the little piranhas who think that this mission was fake
On a more serious note, they did have cameras on spacecraft back in 1964, the footage just needed to be recorded on film and retrieved (which is what happened). In fact cameras had been sent to space as early as the 40s on captured German V2 rockets.
Hahaha. Their special effects sure have gotten better.
I mean what can ya do when recovering something that went a few kilometres a second.

+Trevor Ryan thats a spinning piece of debris. jellyfish don't exist in space. i think you may need psychiatric help.
+Cyber u need an optometrist ..lol and to read the rest of the comments Cuz your the only one thinking this is actually filmed in space :/
+Trevor Ryan So you think I'm wrong because I'm the only one who *knows* that this was filmed in space? You're demonstrating a logical fallacy called "ad populum." And to think that I need my vision checked because I see a piece of spinning debris while you see a damn jellyfish moving incredibly fast is insane.
+Cyber ya look all dem stars or starfish? and the tentacle spinning debris 0:54 watch it..this isn't a conspiracy channel..troll
+Trevor Ryan What is wrong with you? There are no stars *or* sea creatures in this video. Just debris from stage separation.
Jellyfish in space, it's kind of like a sharknado!
I love the editorial cut from 5:01 to 5:02!!!
There is a thing called "limited film supply" yknow. Back in those days you had to recover film reels to play them back, hence the lack of footage due to huge mass constraints present on spacecraft.
If that's the most sophisticated camera they could find, then I know for certainty that it would be impossible to go to the moon.
Hmm, maybe recovering physical film and developing it is hard? Also, it would've been in storage for some 30 years before it could be digitized.
Not much more to say than what has already been said just now
That seems like several large leaps in logic
I feel so intense a feeling of excitement and joy. I have read some of the comments and clearly nobody has seen the ALIENS in this video! fish indeed ! That is total proof of alien technology at it's best. No wonder we had to go to the moon. Gee Wizz the international fake station is worth every penny. LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION yeyyyy I seen the first alien, lucky lil me.
Not an alien.
Ohhhh, space aliens can swim---in---space, cool. I didn't know that. Other than filmmaking, what else did they do with all our tax dollars?
Fun fact: investing in space projects ends up benefiting us on Earth. Things such as fuel cells and digital flight controls didnt really break through until the Apollo programme. Also, I dont recall aliens being shown in this video so you must be intoxicated or something...
The alien here is your brain
you do realize that this was a precursor to the communication satellites that you likely benefit from daily, right?
0:53 If this is "space", ummmm why is there a Jellyfish that swims by in the lower left corner? The fraudulence is real. You can't possibly believe this is real. Now I know....Jellyfish come from space. 😂
That "jellyfish" is a thing called space debris
the only thing thats fucking related to a jellyfish here is your ability to comprehend anything
thats fucking space debris dipshit
lots of angry nasa shills itt.
@@papalegba6759 drop your stupidity. the level of how stupid everything you say about how space is fake and shit is beyond my comprehension.
Well, the verdict is in: This is a balloon that, once inflated, is designed to look like the moon. It was inflated underwater and anchored in place to the bottom. Notice how the video is clearly edited and cuts to the next "scene" three times at 1:57 , at 3:59 , and 5:01.
Believe me if they could record it all then they would. However back then, you only had a limited film supply to record footage with and all film had to be physically recovered. As you can imagine, this meant that recorded footage from the early days of unmanned spaceflight was very limited. Therefore, saying that its "fake" because of footage cuts is a bit of a silly conclusion to make
what is the fish doing in space?
There's no fish
The "fish" are actually space debris from either the inflation or the separation
