Cliff Barackman has posted some early photos from the weekend conference. He mentioned the screening of the North Carolina video, which is apparently infra-red video, not “thermal,” according to a few. However, Barackman is certain it is “thermal, not IR.” He emails me: “There might be confusion because thermals see in IR (which is basically heat). Still, the vid is absolutely thermal video, and there was no illumination of any sort, which is what IR implies.”

The weekend was sensational – an incredible number of researchers (close to 200) and a great vibe. The location was fantastic, food incredible and the general standard of conference talks very high. For me it was a great chance to catch up with some old friends and others I’d heard of but never met. Got a chance to talk with Bob Gimlin again, Henry May, Matt Moneymaker, Danny Perez, Craig Woolheater, Henry Franzoni, Thom Powell, Scott Mclean, Jeff Meldrum, Dave Hancock, John Kirk, Ron Morehead and many others. Thanks to Tom Yamarone for a really great conference. Photos attached – feel free to use them on Cryptomundo.
