From: web@ais.org (William Bulley) I was fascinated by the apparent stability of the platform (F-117?) which delivered the bombs to destroy Iraqi bridges shown on CNN last night. I could detect little or no relative ground motion. Clearly the weapons platform was travelling at a high rate of speed, but the bridge stayed in the center of the screen -- not at all like the gun sight videos which were shown during the very first day(s) causing near vertigo in some of the viewing audience. Am I overlooking something like parallax or direct movement toward or away from the target? I would expect some change in magnification with the latter explanations. Please post or mail ideas.
