Maximum speed sight

Does anyone know what maximum speed that we can see before we cannot see it?

Re: Maximum speed sight

That would depend on the size of the object and its distance away. It would hard to see a bullet passing by, but one can often see the faster space shuttle on a clear night (when it is in orbit). The best way to see fast objects is from the side of the eye and notice an after image. The front of the eye narrows distance and the side has a wider field of view.
