Anyone know what this is? "UFO"

[Nethius]

Anyone know what this is?

Found off Kazaa, so sorry, no background info

link (http://www.scott.gidney.org/ufo/sts101.mpeg)

All I know is that it is labelled STS-101

[01101001]

Already been discussed.

Within topic: Unsolved Mysteries UFOS (http://www.bautforum.com/showthread.php?t=14340)

It's probably been covered in other topics, too, among them:

You'd be surprised how much space junk is out there. STS 101 was, I believe, the third shuttle trip to the International Space Station. So possibly it is a film from the station of the shuttle as it orbitted the earth on either its way to or from station (obviously not the docking orbit).

[N C More]

The best explanation I've heard was, "debris of unknown origin". There's just no way to tell exactly what it was, IMO.

[Halcyon Dayz]

It's a thingy. :neutral:

My "doohickey" theory beats your "thingy" theory.

[Fr. Wayne]

No way, it is without doubt a "watcha-ma-callit."

I split the video into individual frames and processed them each in PhotoShop. I decreased contrast and increased brightness and zoomed to 1000%. Then I applied the JPEG Artifact Removal Tool and I am now absolutely certain that is a widget.

After reviewing the play, the ruling in space stands, no good!

:lol:

[Fr. Wayne]

Wrong signal, pass interference is your call.

[sidmel]

Well, we can’t call it any of those at all, otherwise everyone would get the impression that you know what it is and we don't. We’ll want to rename it to something that you don't understand that says it ours, not yours. Something like, “Super Meteorological Visual Phenomenon,” or “Mega Luminal Aero Display Disturbance.”

No, Jack wouldnt have called it a widget, he would have claimed it was "Clear evidence of a conspiracy, reaching to the highest levels of....Fill in the rest.

Of course he would later claim he said no such thing, and had simply posted it as an anomally.. only, once everyone had stopped watching to revive his first claim, "Clear evidence of a yadda yadda yadda...

[Frantic Freddie]

Well,the perfect thread to put this in....

What is this?

Looks like a car driving at speed driving off a cliff.

[AGN Fuel]

Good life tip, son.... always check for birds before you point your camera up. :)

[Dragon Star]

Looks like a coffee stain or a dark spot on a picture of a hill?

[Huevos Grandes]

Well,the perfect thread to put this in....

What is this?



That's a picture of a photograph of a cliff, with a Quaalude capsule laying on top. I can't tell if it's the 300 mg or super-potent fun 450 mg version. The color is obscured by some unseen light source (should appear grey-green). ;)

[Frantic Freddie]

Nope,nope....


I've had fun with this pic before,been tempted to send it to the UFO woo-woo sites.

It's something very common,but most people never see it or know it's there.
:D

[Duane]

A bullet caught in mid flight?

[Musashi]

Looks like a ball, perhaps a football? Or a frisbee. Both midflight.

[Dragon Star]

One section of a bacteria? Or a cell of some sort?

[Frantic Freddie]

Good life tip, son.... always check for birds before you point your camera up. :) :lol: :lol: :lol:


A few more & I'll reveal the secret,but I will say it's no Photoshop & I took the picture.

I once posted it on a forum with rather gullible members & a coupla folks swore I'd taken a pic of a UFO :wall:

It's something most of us are within 2 feet of everyday.

I hate you....:think:

[GDwarf]

Would it be Gum? Or Sticky tac? Or something similar?

[Candy]

It's a bug on his lense. :shifty:

[chuckey_69]

Its a life raft dropped from a plane. Indiana Jones music plays in the background.

[mancur]

It's the cap that covers a tire valve stem.

Either that, or an alien spacecraft here to take over the world and enslave humanity.

I'm not sure which.

[Frantic Freddie]

Gettin' warm there mancur....:D

[Duane]

A thrown hubcap? (OBTW--if it is, I may have heard about this "hoax" somewhere before!)

[Fr. Wayne]

a gazinta

[Frantic Freddie]

Duane,you're warm too....

Fr. Wayne,I got no idea what a "gazinta" is,but I like the word :D

With which one? :razz:

Let's see, a tire weight would fit the shape...

[turbonium]

How about a siren light flashing on top of a vehicle, with the camera rotated at 40 degrees or so from level, down to the left?

[Candy]

Just so it is visible to us again. :think:

[turbonium]

Oops, I was looking at the video link in the first thread, and didn't see the other image posted later....

[turbonium]

It's a freakin' shoe!! (or a sandal)

[Duane]

Oh, I think I got it!!! This is the rising casket of the God Emporor Dweedle, rising into the belly of the transcendental Zhentarian Guard mothership, thus reveling the beginning of the NEW AGE of NancyBartDaveGordIgianite Pleasure and the Illumiti! Now the TRUE ToE will be known:: BEER ANSWERS ALL!!!

ALL HAIL LORD DWEEDLE!!!

Well, actually, I think its a tire thrown into the air. We're looking at it at an oblique angle so you can't quite make out the wheel hole.

[Candy]

I believe you are correct, Duane. :clap:

[Duane]

SO thou art BOWING to Lord Dweedle then :evil: ? Thou shalt open the Holy Beer and guzzle fitfully in tribute, or face his wraith (http://www.planetxvideo.com/nancyvideo.htm)! :evil:

(Heh, I orginally meant to say wrath, but typoed. Freudian slip??:p )

I bow down to Lord Dweedle.

A gazinta is strictly speaking that cardboard cylinder found inside of every roll of toilet paper. One of the most underused inventions of man. But in the world of bauterdash it is limited to any item that you can put your hand or foot into such as, (to avoid unnecessary flights of imagination,) a can, a glove, a shoe, a coffee cup, a cookie jar, a foot massager, a gazinta.

[Cl1mh4224rd]

I have to go with: a Twinkie.

[turbonium]

Mmmmm....gigantic Twinkie!

[NEOWatcher]

Well that does "fit" the "within 2 feet of us". :think:

[Evac]

I just enhanced the image with photoshop...... I...I think is Klingon !!

[Frantic Freddie]

No,actually it's Ford :D


It's the bracket that's glued on to the windshield to hold the rearview mirror.When I took the pic I didn't notice I'd gotten that in it 'til it was developed (the pic's about 15-16 years old).I was sitting in the passenger seat of my Ford E-150 takin' pics while the wife drove.

I've shown that pic to I don't know how many people,pre- & post-Internet & no one has ever been able to figure it out.

[Anla'Shok]

AAAARGH!!!

I saw your post and knew what it was but by time I scrolled through you answered it. I have to check this site more frequently. Good one though. My beater car has that same view except there is a crack running past it.

[Duane]

Excellent! Now that you've said it, I can clearly see what you mean. I guess Emperor Dweedle is still buried then... :(

[Fr. Wayne]

Excellent mystery. Truly evident by the slight reflection below right of object due to windshield. Sun reflected off either side mirror or hood?

[Fr. Wayne]

Here's a cool movie based on NASA stuff:

No stars or planets in the background. What could it be? :whistle:
I took the photo myself.

[Duane]

Forgot to take off the lenscap?

[Candy]

Nope. Hint: It's something visible from "space".

We have a lot of television distribution equipment in the lab at our office. When connecting cables between pieces of equipment, you should always connect a "gazinta" to a "gazouta".

Candy's pix? The Light at the end of the tunnel? Close! I'll give it to you anyway. :clap:
They are steetlights along the Elgin-O'Hare Expressway that neither go to the city of Elgin nor the O'Hare Airport. "They" ran out of money. It's my backyard.

This flew over my head while I was out for a smoke break. :eek:
What is it?
Photographed by me.

Here's another shot - same object. :eek:
I put the cigarette down to snap photos.

Military Triangle Aero-craft out of Scott's A.F.B. ?

[Candy]

That's really ugly smudge work, Fr. Wayne. :p

[Candy]

It's a 737, I think.

I only made a negative out of it to highlight the edges of wings?

US smokers in Chicago pay the taxes for the nation's defense. You'd think they would appreciate how much we watch the skies.

[Candy]

I smoke and I'm a watcher of the sky. I wish I had a telescope, though. I'm sure any watching is much appreciated. :)

[turbonium]

OK, that's all well and good, but where can I find one of those gigantic Twinkies?

[Fr. Wayne]

scroll down to left, lift and separate, voila!

[sts60]

It's a 737, I think.

A DC-9 or MD-80 or some such. Two rear-mounted engines.

One time, in a bookstore, I picked up a UFO mag. To my astonishment, they were passing off the Hubble Variable Nebula as a UFO.

A few years ago, someone once said ( about UFO's ) that you have to consider that there is a lot of money to be made here.

I think that the UFO Phenomena should, as all phenomena, be studied not in the light of possible extra-terrestrial visitation but as a real phenomena that effects people.

Some of the results might be very interesting and tell us a lot about humanity.

[Halcyon Dayz]

I'm pretty sure they are.
Sociologists, psychologists, the fringe is infinitely fascinating.

[MID1]

http://home.att.net/~candy.stair/UFO3.jpg


Definitely not a 737. A 737 is a tri-jet with two engines on its wings and one in the tail. That's probably a Super-80, MD-80, MD-88.

[PhantomWolf]

*sigh* Unfortunately Candy got herself banned, again. :( :( I was hoping she'd have learned, but I guess not.

[jt-3d]

Definitely not a 737. A 737 is a tri-jet with two engines on its wings and one in the tail. That's probably a Super-80, MD-80, MD-88.

A 727 has three engines, on the tail. (A DC10 has engines on the wings and one on the vertical stabilizer) Looks too short to be an MD-80 but it could be angled a bit and may only appear short. Without that, it seems the size of a DC9-30 but Focker 100s (though it doesn't really look like the Focker) look like that too as well as the new gizmo they were making that looked like a DC-9-30 but new and with the glass cockpit.

Anyway, my vote DC9 or the boeing knockoff but that is a lousy picture so there's no way for me to be sure.
