Acting for ArtistsUFO Case 765 – Speed
One of the biggest challenges with investigating unknown objects in the sky is the difficulty in judging size and speed with out the ability to clearly judge distance like you can on the ground.

Plus, things look larger when nearer the horizon, e.g. the Moon.
A little trick used by astronomers is that the span of your hand at arms’ length covers the roughly same amount of your vision no matter who you are. Which makes things a lot easier if you use polar coordinates in your observations.
That’s good for measuring angular sizes in astronomy (measured in degrees), but it won’t give you absolute size or speed. For example, the moon is .5 degrees yet Jupiter looks a lot smaller because it’s further away. Speeds the same way, high altitude jets look like they’re going slower than lower flying craft even though they’re obviously going faster.
