These two videos were recorded at the Coleman Theatre on March 10th, 2007. On that particular investigation, we had this DVR camera placed on the stage, facing towards the audience (foreground) and the double audiotorium entry doors (Back-ground). During the time this clip was recorded, C.O.P.S. had divided in two and left Conrad to be our DVR and radio monitor. The two teams were dived as such: One team was positioned on the stage, directly to the left of the camera position; one team in the basement, completely out of eye sight of the camera; and our DVR monitor station was set up in the lobby of the Coleman.

We only had a small lamp on in the lobby of this theatre. The light from that lamp can be seen illuminating the north lobby behind the double entry doors in the back-ground of this video. Watch those double doors as the video plays. You will see the shillouette of a person move from left to right quickly across the windows.


In 2.5 feet (width of the door on the right), the figure moves in .066 seconds (two frames). Knowing the distance and the time C.O.P.S. is able to calculate, in miles per hour, that the figure traveled across the right door at 25.82mph. According to the Guiness Book of World Records, the fastest man alive is Michael Johnson, a United States Olmpyian from Atlanta, Georgia, who, in 1999 set the world record by completing a 200 meter race in 10.352m/s (23.15 mph). In short, the figure in the window is moving 2.67 miles per hour faster than the man who holds the record for being the "Fastest Man In The World."

Here is how we calculated the speed of the figure:
2.5ft = Width of Door
.066 seconds = (1 seconds/30 frames)(2) The rate of 2 frames of video
3600 seconds = 1 hour
1 mile = 5,280 feet
So:
(2.5ft/.066 seconds)(3600 seconds/ 1 hour)(1mile/5280ft)= 25.82 mph

An interesting point to note is that the team on stage saw this shadow as it moved across the doors while Conrad, who sat at our monitor station and also had a clear view of the front side of these doors, reported seeing no shadows nor no one move infront of them.

This movement happens one more time that same night, three minutes after the first video clip. Watch the video below to see the shadow move in the exact same fashion and speed of the first.
