I'm ex Army and I can say we used the 2nd gen AN-PVS 5 (the big bulky full face goggles) and I have seen some crazy shit with those. I just chalked it up to technology and glitches. But now that you have said something - things that make ya go hmmmmmm......

OP, if I remember correctly the old AN-PVS 5's had a screw on filter on each eye piece called an "essler filter". It was supposed to prevent damage to the goggles from laser range finding devices of the time (a GLDD for instance) that were not eye safe. It pevented burnout of the optical electronics.

You mean using night vision goggles to see things like this?


In ten years we'll look back on this moment, laugh nervously, and quickly change the subject.

Searching on this, Essilor glasses, which block blue-violet light:
Eyezen+ lenses block at least 20% of Harmful Blue Light, which is the high energy waves found between 415-455 nm (blue-violet light).
 Quoting: Essilor


Dicyanin lens are blue-violet.

From the other thread linked about those glasses,
A drawback to Kilner's method was the scarcity and toxicity of the chemicals he recommended. Later, the biologist Oscar Bagnall[5] recommended substituting the dye pinacyanol (dissolved in triethanolamine) but this dye is also not easy to obtain. Carl Edwin Lindgren has stated that cobalt blue and purple glass may be substituted for the dyes used by Kilner and Bagnall.[6]
 Quoting: [link to www.rexresearch.com]



So - We're looking for a shade that blocks a specific frequency of light?

You can easily, and cheaply, get a feel for what light wavelengths are being blocked by sending light through a sheet of cardboard:

It was something about night vision originally being red, but that frequency allowed for the visions to be seen. So, they made it green instead.

This.

They photomultiplier tubes originally displayed everything in red, as an aid to maintaining night vision, but soldiers using them began to report seeing horrible things in them. It reached a point where the devices were recalled and new tubes installed, these using a green instead of red internal phosphor coating.

Green is about the worst possible color to use for retaining night vision, as one is almost totally night-blind in the eye or eyes being used when the device(s) are removed, with recovery taking up to a minute or more.

Re: anyone hear about viet nam war night vision goggles picking up entities
This is just for free, but you’d be wise to take my advice: if you get hold of night-vision gear, it would be wise not to make a practice of going out with them and intentionally looking for “odd” stuff with them.

Remember that a great deal of what we call Fortean phenomenon is what is termed “reflexive”, and tends to respond, for better or worse, to intention.

After half a century of researching this stuff, my standard advice is that if you decide to go out looking for UFOs, Bigfoot, Mothman or such, you should start by wetting your pants... because if you go out looking for them, they might find you.

Not sure about entities, but there are some interesting rumors from U.S. Special Forces jungle patrols about cryptids floating around.

There are two kinds of angels, you know; how do you plan to tell one from another if you encounter them? It’s not as easy as you might think.

I would strongly suggest that if you really want to see God’s angels, and not the ones that belong to that other fellow, you should pray about it. Otherwise, you might get a whole lot more than you bargained for.

that sounds about right, the fucking ghouls wouldn't want them to see the souls of the people they were murdering, that's what they are really like, they KNOW the supernatural is real and they want to take your souls to hell and they are doing it, they have power in hell, and they want you there so they can have power over you
