They got you Bob - it is an RC model in a "faked" video...

Which is why it's always good to have lots of eyes
looking at it. After the initial surprise and amazement,
a careful sifting of the simple-ideas can launch
a line of questions that ultimately expose underlying
simple-ideas.
I used to do forensic animations for a living. We
called the "Videmations - real time demonstrations
of facts in evidence." Obviously, one can animate
anything the imagination can conjure. When producing
an animation for the purpose of adding understanding,
it's important that everything shown has foundation
in physics and good data.
I crafted model motion systems to position vehicles
in accordance with data on frame-by-frame vehicle
positions provided to me by the analyst expert. The
analyst first testifies as to how the data was
generated. We would then offer a real-time illustration
of the expert's analysis. The video assists an expert
in guiding the viewers perceptions of his/her testimony
true-time.
The simple-ideas behind our efforts were subject to
discovery by all interested parties. Close inspection
of this video folks here on the List have demonstrated
the forensic weaknesses in its production. Good work
folks.
