Bruce - I would guess it's that thing at 96,213. It lasts for only a few bars before fading out in a sort of nebulous 'flare', starting surprisingly high and quickly disappearing before the bottom frames.
I've found this a current favourite type of fake track (probably all derived from a single candidate, re-scaled and re-oriented according to whichever team member's fancy and, as here, not always with adequate regard to the surrounding context).
There seems to be a problem with CM 1405626V1. The dust starts above the surface and extends throughout the entire movie changing slightly after the surface came into focus. I marked the spot and was scored as a hit. http://stardustathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ ... =1405626V1

I agree - that just has to be the most outrageously badly pasted track I've seen.
Bryan has in fact previously admitted that the CM tracks have been inserted by a computer program.
Nevertheless (indeed particularly so), one would have hoped that someone on the team had responsibility for evaluating them before adding to the VM, and should have taken at least the same sort of care expected of us.

'This track', i.e. 7589704V1, has been causing problems for some time.
I've found several postings about it such as these: 1, 2, 3,4. Personally I think it should be withdrawn.

Sorry for the late reply, but can you clarify what you mean. Did you click at 156,333 and get it wrong? If so, then you were close enough and shouldn't have received a score for an incorrect answer. However, sometimes (although rarely) "scoring" gets delayed and so what looks like a bad score is actually the system catching up with a previous incorrect answer (see FAQ here). If you don't think this is the case, we can double check the database, but only if you can provide the date and TIME that you clicked that particular movie. Hope this helps! Dan

I was just reporting that Movie 9709624V1 is a bad calibration movie and I believe that the coordinates are wrong. I based this on my missing it several times and reports from other dusters who have missed it also.
I posted it here instead of "I answered a calibration movie right but was scored wrong" because I do not care about the missed points but just wanted report that I believe the coordinates are off. I continue to keep trying to hit it but never have. It's bad. Coordinates probably off. See if anyone has ever hit it. If they have hit it then I am wrong.
