found a U.F.O

[glowingturnip]

so I was looking through the subs of my latest run, and found this on one frame, to the top-left of the brightest star, not present on any of the other frames (before and after shown).  Clearly a UFO.  Should I alert NASA ?

 

so what do we think it really is ?  A satellite rolling and catching sunlight off one panel I'd guess.

Cheers,

Yep, looks like a satellite flare to me

UFO got my attention

[Alien 13]

Looks like a tumbling satellite to me.

Here is one I made earlier...

I had a similar event right before New Year's eve - 30th of December, but I suspect that I caught something else, my guess is small air burst of meteor.

I base my assumption on couple of facts: high luminosity in single point (this is doggy one, since I would expect a streak of high luminosity), trail slightly diverging after, and trail only visible in red channel

Here is frame:

So what did NASA say? It's a well known fact that the aliens have taken to mimicing the light curve of tumbling satellites as a form of camouflage when visiting earth, now that so many pesky amateurs have CCDs scouring the sky.

Yep. A UFO for sure. Possibly, with a faulty cloaking device!?????

I believe that posting this image on certain "special interest" websites should get you some more technologically correct answers than we can manage on SGL.

Its cloudy. Give it a try. An editited highlights update should be fun/ food for thought.

Yep, that cloaking device is a real pig. It's not worked properly since Scotty passed - how do you replace an engineer of that calibre?

Job applications to:

The First Officer,
USS Enterprise,
Somewhere in Sol sector - note this is deliberately vague. If you can't find the ship then you are not good enough for the job

funnily enough, having 'UFO' in the thread title failed the profanity filter, so I had to type it as 'U.F.O'.

A conspiracy surely, they are amongst us.
