The Kansas City Demon if i heard about it I have forgotten

[Sirius]

Heard one story that the Vietnam vets that got the early versions on night vision that was in the red zone saw a lot of these kind of beings. They are not as viable in the more common green zone of night vision these days.

Still getting a lot of weird stuff when night vision is pointed to the night sky.

I have been thinking about this again lately and wanted to look it up again.  Do you happen to know exactly what kind of "night vision" works for this?

Childhood’s End! Such an underrated and lesser known book! I can see actual contact coming out the way the books portrays it.

It has always made me wonder, with all the current theories of the Gods being aliens, could it not be that Demons are all aliens as well?

Im open to all possibilities 


Im gonna have to see if it's on Audible I enjoyed the miniseries at first then it seemed to go off the rails, perhaps I just need to watch it again or listen to the book...

I dove deep into this years ago. Besides the dicyanin (not sure of spelling) lenses, I came up with nothing.

There’s got to be something to it, however…

I’m a long-standing administrator on one of (if not the most) highest-traffic US veterans’ online forums. I knew I had seen these devices mentioned on there in the past so I spent quite a bit of time searching, only to come up with nothing.

So I posed the question to the membership and my post was deleted quickly thereafter. That had never happened in my entire lifetime of being on forums and even Usenet (yes, I’m old!). I asked other administrators what happened in the private admin-only forum. That post was removed and I received a stern private message to never mention the devices again on the forum. To me that screams that someone really doesn’t want the topic discussed.

It's my understanding that it was the older generation infrared night vision devices that were causing folks to "see things". They "see" in a slightly different spectrum of light (shifted to the infrared wavelengths) than the newer "Starlight Scopes" like the AN PVS-4 and subsequent. Those work only by amplifying ambient light (by up to 40,000X), with an image intensifyer tube - sort of like a laser in reverse. The infrared night vision requires a separate illumination module that projects an invisible (to the eye) intfrared beam like a flashlight bean to illuminate the scene invisibly.

With that said, I don't recall ever seeing anything odd in infrared myself. Some "night vision" cameras, Sony for example, still operate in infrared night vision, but have a special filter on the newer models, because the older ones were allowing for "x-ray vision", and letting folks "see" what was underneath some fabrics.

As a matter of fact, ALL imaging CCD's see into the infrared. They all have a small, apparently clear plastic filter over the CCD to block infrared light. Otherwise, your pictures look pretty funky with the introduction of infrared light into your images. If you have a steady hand and good nerves, you can remove that filter and you too can become an infrared photographer!

Regarding the "demon" image, it does look to me like it was taken in Kansas City, just south of where Bannister Mall used to be. There is a row of shops and restaurants in that area, which look an awful lot like the buildings in the background.

I used to live in Kansas City for a while, in 2012-2014 specifically. I worked for a while at a Burlington Coat Factory in what was left of the Bannister Mall after everything started shutting down due to rampant gang activity in the area.

One winter night about 10 PM, I was walking from work to the bus stop, which was about a half mile away at a McDonalds on Bannister, I usually wore a long black rain slicker with an elbow-length cape attached. On cold nights as this was, I wore a black insulated hoodie beneath it for extra warmth, which I was wearing that night.

Walking down the deserted sidewalks, coincidentally right about where the row of abandoned restaurants was, I saw a figure approaching me on the sidewalk in the light fog. Suddenly that figure darted across the street to continue up the opposite sidewalk, thus avoiding me. Right after we drew abreast and passed, I heard running feet, Thinking that they were trying to run up behind me, I turned to face them, only to see that they were running for all they were worth AWAY from me.

Given the way I was dressed, probably appearing like the Grim Reaper in the fog, this tale of a Kansas City Demon would certainly go a long way to explain an event that has puzzled me for years!

Most likely thats a dying windmill fan palm tree, yes there are palm trees in KC, they just need special care during the winter is all.

And keep in mind we have no evidence or proof that this pic was actually taken in KC anyways.

When i look at this pic, i try to picture that silhouette in 3D, so instead of 2 wingy bits i picture 4 or more, which makes me think even more its a dying palm tree.

It could be a different tree but the shape and thickness of the trunk makes me lean more towards a palm tree.
