    Thanks, George,
    both your objections may be true
    (I know you can view your own movies/videos in 3D with a dark grey glass
    in front of one eye - if you photographed right or left from a moving vehicle,
    or moved the camera or rotated the target object)
    
    But it is also not unreasonable that the effect was synodic, since the
    FltSatCom has a slow rotation, and was ascending towards culmination 
    all the time.
