For objects going extremely fast two observers at different vantage points can give different values for it's speed and both can be correct (gamma factor) -- you NEED to go read a textbook. The velocity observed will be the same for both?? WTF?? --

you don't UNDERSTAND special relativity at all. Calling me a fool privately -- sheesh. You don't understand the theory!!

the time observed between two events can be different depending on the relative speed of an observer and the lengths of objects can appear different, but all speeds are relative -- to say one measures one speed and one measures another is BS -- you don't understand the theory. Einstein's point was that relative velocity is the only thing that counts -- there aren't a multiplicity of velocities for just 2 observers. If you are teaching the subject, you shouldn't be!!
