Ghost Car Police Chase

dammit, that interrputed Pressure Drop. That's my favorite song.

It'd been cooler if it suddenly dissappeared. *poof*
 
:eek:

Edit: After another watch, the only conclusion I can make is that he went under the fence as it looks like it's only attached at the top and you can see it bend. Similar to walking under a curtain.
 
I've been watching police chase videos all day on tv, this one is freaking strange.
 
Looks to me as though it crossed the fence at an earlier point than where the police stopped.

They could/should have doubled back to look for a gate.

I'd like to see a daytime video of that whole area :|
 
he either bent the fence, went through at a different spot, or knows some trick way to get around the fence.
 
Wow, you guys are just NOW seeing this? I thought I was slow!

:P

Anyway, yeah, it's freaking strange..the first time he disappeared, then the 2nd...he's got skill.

/takes notes.
 
Someone moved/closed the fence for the car. :p


More possible: I have studied magic before, and I know some of these tricks. So, will it be possible that the car behind the frence was not actually that white car? It was possible that the white car called his friend to set up this trick. The other car, not the one which was being chased by police, was phoned by the white car and it parked right behind the frence. The white car turned around the very first corner and led the police towards where the trap were. When the police came to a certain point, the other car started its engine, turned on the taillight and drove off, creating an illusion that the white car had gone through the frence. In fact, that was another car. While at the same moment, the white car, which was initially being chased by the police, did a U-turn/brake drift/power drift, perhaps with the aid off shutting down of all the lights, and it escaped alone the way it came to here. At the same moment, the police's attention was drawn by the taillight of the other car, and thought it was the white car. Since then, the white car had taken the chance, which the police was confused awhile, and escaped.
 
Pulling off something like that - impromptu - while being chased by the police is more mind-blowing (and dare I say perhaps even less likely?) than a ghost car.
 
This trick is usually pre-set near the car-racing lane, and the gangs have already prepared for it (As I can see, the police has been chasing the car for quite a while). Even a phone is not so necessary, all is in expectation.
 
I expected a friendly white being to be at the wheel.

Did anybody else?

Well even though the camera doesn't catch this gangs trick.. you'd think the driver with a kneck that turns would notice along with his better field of view.

I think really your just trying to rationalise something that 'normally' doesn't make sense.

It's dark. :(

And the police driver was focusing on the front, driving.

It was a ghost is never the most rational nor logical option to conclude with.

I've gotta wonder what that chase was all about to make an elaborate trick like that so important...

But yeah, O_O.
 
Actually, no, that wouldn't work. The cops turned too fast to look at the fence, and there's no way a car could start and re-gain speed that fast.

Your question is sensible. The time interval was so short and it took a great skill to U-turn the car and reaccelerate. I guess it is still possible. Do you know power drift, a racer cars' skill? You don't actually need to stop the car to do the turn. This driving skill can actually help you, taking the front wheels as the rotation axis, spin your car 180 degree without a notable reduction of the wheels' rpm. Thus, your car can accelerate back to normal speed within two seconds, or even one. And this skill takes less space to turn the car as well. Also, the white car there could turn off the lights to avoid drawing much of the police's attention, while the third car's taillight had drawn the sight of the police.

You only lose sight of the tail-light for a split second, if that.

I just can't imagine someone going "hey, we're going to go get chased by cops, let's have some pals buy a car just like ours and make a set location just in case we get caught to get away!" Plus, where'd the original car go?.

Watch the digital clock on the top-left corner, from the moment the taillight went off until the ray of police car's headlight met the fence perpendicularly, it took totally two and a half seconds, which was much more than enough. (I have tried with my fingers, in comparison with normal car races)

I believe people keeps trying to challenge the laws and the police. People are really bored.

And where did the white car went? U-turn, by its sharp, it went away from where the police and itself come from, just the direction is different.



Like this: Of course the distance between the blue police and the red white car in reality was much further than that in the drawing.

p.s. Oops, it touches the fence, it didn't in reality. Also, the spin circle was much small. I made the turn that big is just to be clear. The spin in reality should almost take the front wheel as the axis.



p.p.s. Actually, it was quantum tunneling effect. :p
 
Damn the government
 
Maybe it wasn't the same car, but the idea it could of been another after a U turn is an idea that facilitates the hood cameras view of events alone, it seems more likely that the driver would of seen the car turn off screen.. and followed it before realising that he had to stop before hitting a fence.

It would be highly unlikely that the driver didn't coroberate with his version of events, Hence the reason why the PD finally called it the ghost car.
 
Difficult to make a conclusion without seeing the fence and area in more detail, but my guess is the fence is rigged. No bottom wire keeping things from going under, that sort of thing.

So you think it was a ghost?
 
Perhaps, it's not like there isn't a palethora of sightings and you can rule it out completely, unless it's the most insane case of mass hysteria it's only a matter of time before video cameras start capturing things.

edit: besides why should people believe it if it was anyway? present scientific models don't predict it, so its hard to comprehend so there is no reason to believe anything out of the ordinary, but then again the present models don't unify either :P. So even if the phenomena is naturally quite regular in the universe the majority of scientists wouldn't know where to start, thats without something like string theory.
 
Is this video in any other format? I dont have a program that plays asx and allows me to go frame by frame.
 
You don't have Windows Media Player?

Can it go frame by frame? I dont think I ever used media player in the past 4 years hah.


EDIT: Oh well. I just played it in slow speed and got a couple screen caps. It looks to me like the fence had some opening on the left side of the fence. Its really difficult to tell with the awful video quality combined with the dark though. But if you look closely, you cant really see any of the fence's mesh on the left, plus there is a larger pole sticking out of the ground, like there usually is by a gate. Plus if you notice how the car makes the turn much earlier than the officer, you no doubt can see how he would be able to get through the opening with ease, whereas the cop turned late, and thus missed the opening. I think the police just didnt want this being bad publicity so they are saying "hmm nobody can see what happened in the video, lets tell people the fence was intact, when in reality, the officer just messed up." :thumbs:

Thats my opinion though... The video isnt clear enough to prove anything.

EDIT2: Oh durrr. I forgot the images Ihave to go with what I am saying.

EDIT3: OK, since bbson_john made a picture explaination, so will I.
