UFO Updates
Thanks to everyone who commented on the original UFO find, although we’re still not sure what they are, there’s been some interesting developments.
Ian Pottinger and jher were the first to find that there are in fact eight of these UFOs over Florida, at the following points
One - Two - Three - Four - Five - Six - Seven - Eight
and Tensus used keyhole to map the points showing that they make a very neat grid.
Yoshino and jher later noticed that the UFOs are not limited to Florida but can also be found over L.A.
One - Two - Three - Four - Five - Six - Seven - Eight - Nine - Ten - Eleven - Twelve - Thirteen
and Tensus again mapped the points, which appear in an almost straight line.
Things the UFOs are definitely not…
Space debris or another satellite?
Derek & Tensus discovered that the close-up images of Florida are taken by AerialsExpress.com at an altitude of 17,500 feet so are aerial photos and not satellite images.
Marks added to obscure famous peoples homes?
While there’s no doubt the whitehouse photos were processed for security it is very unlikely these UFOs are intentional ‘cover-ups’ due to the neat grid layout.
Water towers?
The UFOs are just too big to be water towers (and there’s no shadow).
Anomaly produced by the stitching software?
Shi Ju says
Definitely they’re NOT marks for picture stitching. In most stitching software (like for making panoramas) the algorithm comes down to finding sharp and contrasting details and aligning those spots with each other.
Things the UFOs still could be…
An alien spacecraft?
It’s still possible!
A weather balloon?
Tm says
The “Grid” is centered around an airfield, common launch points for weather balloons.
Although Klem says
All currently used radiosonde devices (weather balloons) are latex, yellowish beige to transluscent
and Jello adds
The object in question here does not cast a ground effect, therefore does not exist in the air.
A ‘lenticular’ cloud?
Patrick was the first to float this idea and the images he posted do look similar to the UFOs, although it is unlikely clouds would form in neat grids.
Condensation on the lens?
Possibly the current forerunner for most likely explanation, Stuart said…
Condensation inside some sort of housing would be my guess. If the drop were directly on the lens it would be effectively invisible. Put it a few inches/feet away and have the camera shooting with a very deep depth of field (as you would with a small aperture) and it would look just like that anomaly.
Something else?
Possibly one of: Peppermint, baseball, Vogon ship, crop circle, planet, thumbtack, ballbearings, smoke, pond, swamp gas, golf ball, satellite, flying ninja, space junk or contact lens as others have suggested!
I live smack dab in the middle of the FLA orbs, and I can tell you what they AIN’T.
They are not balloons.
They are not purposely obscuring anything. They are not towers.
Point 1 is in a water catchment area. It is swampland.
Point 2 is in Mangonia Park, a depressed inner suburb. Nothing to see here. Not even Don King’s stadium or Jehovah’s dome (local joke)
Point 3 is just off the FL turnpike over the backyard of a house on the edge of the Steeplechase subdivision (gated entry)
PS4 and PS5 are located off a private road behind the big Pratt_Whitney / United Technologies complex. This point 5 is west of the factory area.
The item marked as PS4 This point is inside the United Technologies plant fenced area. They build secret stuff here for military and defense depts. Only a coincidence? I couldn’t really say.
The point farthest east is near the beach in a residential area called Juno Beach. (NOTE _ It is not linked at the top of this page) (PS2)
Points 2,3,4,5 are generally in a straight line approximately parallel to Donald Ross Rd. Everything between points 2 and 3 is very upscale residential suburbia.
The small general airport in the middle of the area is “general aviation” and not for commercial or military use.
What else? Just below and between FS3 & FS4 is the site of the future Scripps Bio Research East Coast facility. Jeb Bush was “very instrumental” in insisting Scripps must use this location and no other. It’s out in the middle of nowhere. If you’ve heard of La Jolla Scripps, this is their newest. If this gets built as planned, this satellite view will look very different in 10 years due to many new roads, about 10,000 new homes, and all the companies building a factory near Scripps.
Any local FLA questions, ask away.
Ummmm. WTF is this!!??!!

That’s creepy.. I got chills. Distinctly a face. Why don’t you skeptics explain this one with ’scanner dust’ or ‘algorithm anomaly’.
And for the record, why don’t these get posted as seperate threads.. they are way OT and the length of these threads is far from lacking.
Jose Antonio Paredes Estrada
dime entonces que demonios es esto
no scanner dust or algorithm anomaly, just the ever-popular paredolia.
Could it be a helocopter? With the blades spinning so fast, maybe it would cause that sort of radial blur…just a guess. i don’t think the jets are blurry.
Hello,
please, give us the link !

Are you stupid or what? They are just parts that for one reason or another cannot be shown. In Madrid, Spain, the house of the king is covered by your “strange flying pansâ€?… Imagine why?”
Increasingly stranger…
Nazca again : beautiful blue one.
Can someone give us an explanation ? Could someone analyze the photos of Nazca and compare them with United-States ones ?

WHY ALL “UFOS” HAVE THE SAME SIZE????????
Maybe it was coming in and out of cloaking device, when it was “caught� on camera
This Hurricane Dennis has a tremendous footprint, throwing off strong storms 900 miles to the north and east of the eye.
Just wanted to point out that Dennis is about 300 or so miles due west at present. A strong squall has come up. 11:30p Sat
The squall line formed along the path of the Palm Beach County FL orbs.
Some strange storm, this one.
It’s funny how some people who can’t comprehend the situation fully and scientifically always turn to UFOs or the supernatural to explain the phenomenon.
Es un reflejo de la lente del satelite lo e visto antes refleja la luz azul de la tierra es algo asi como un doble reflejo nada mas por cierto hola Tony jaja.
I was thinking, mabye there was a leak near the camera, and the ufo if they are “droplets” as some of yall say, could just be water leaking from a coolent system near the camera or front of the plane. It’s like when your car’s air conditioner is leaking water and it leaves a trail behind your car. Just with a camera thats behind the leak so it captures an image of the droplet right when it leaves the plane. And if the plane is high enough, the droplets could freeze, resulting in a round or slightly oval shape. Also, if i am correct, not all leaks are consistent, meaning that some times they drip and some times they dont. That would explain the ufos that are in a straight line, and if the plane takes more than one run of a spot, city, or whatever it maybe, could be the cause for the spots appearing in other areas. Planes have to follow certian flight paths, and it could be the cause of the grid-like apperence.
It’s funny how some people who can’t comprehend the esoteric ‘try’ to use scientific reasoning. Maybe a quick read through some Hyper dimensional Physics would help?? I think it would be naive to think we are “alone�.
UFO/water drops/weather balloons (or whatever you want to call them) have been around for thousands of years in ancient artwork. http://www.ufoartwork.com/ have a look for yourself.
I belive, I was just making a point for what it “could” be. Theres no telling what exactly it is. Excuse me, they are.
(edit to prev. post)
I belive in ufos, I belive in the paranormal. I was just trying to clarafiy on what was posted before me on the water droplet theory. Some one had brought up that the lense of the camera, then other brought up how this is unlikely that this is the case because that the person in the plane taking the pictures take multiable ones of each area and then the pictures are stiched together. And they also stated that this being the case, if it where condensation or water on the lens, then it would be in EVERY picture. So to help the little man, I thought of what MAY be the case. But its just as likly that it is water then it is that the object is gianormose bloated cows floating thru out the sky.

Found that, near Sines (Portugal). Doesn’t look like the others ones found before. There is a shadow of the ‘object’ on the water.
I don’t know if it is a construction, and found no information about this. Maybe I’ll go to Sines this summer (I am portuguese) and look.

looks like a structure to me
Has it occurred to anyone that this could simply be either a blindspot in the lens and/or camera which my or may not be affected by light, temperature, etc; or possibly even something as simple as a minor blemish in the lens?
Wow, THAT is what I call a homerun!
The main problem I see is that they seem to reflect light coming from the north and/or south. Um, wouldn’t the sun be more toward the east or west? Okay, a tad southerly at noon, not to get too technical, but you get the idea. Of course the shooting angle is not straight down (off-nadir camera position), as you can see vividly when you look at the Empire State Building or Tokyo Tower. But all in all, for that to be reflected lighting doesn’t seem to stand up at a glance, at least, in that context.
Otherwise, they look pretty much like what one might expect real UFOs to look like, since exotic propulsion (Alcubierre Drive in Hover mode or whatever) could make any such craft look out of focus even to the naked eye. In that case, they would be smaller and higher than one might perceive from just seeing these photos, perhaps too high and quiet to be noticed from the ground, especially if they visually blended in well with the sky (and were likely pretty close to the plane from which the pictures were taken).
And, of course, when you zoom out and still see the object, what you are getting is a patchwork of the same images scaled down by software, like thumbnails, with fewer and fewer pixels per line and fewer and fewer lines per inch taken from the full-sized originals for each step of zooming out until a limit is reached and the display is switched over to satellite pictures. A large flaw, for example, would scale down and seem real, because human nature might lead one to think a camera is zooming out.
So even a major beer spill at a backyard barbeque doesn’t explain even one of them, because the light source would likely be wrong. Real UFOs? Well-hidden software glitch? Hm.

This might be dead - I’m just browsing through archives, sorry if I bump anything. I’m with Grassy on this one - they’re there for concealment of whatever - think of the agre we’re in. With all the threats of terrorism (bullshit or otherwise) there’s no end to the levels of secrecy people see, to want. They’re presumably hiding things the government had long kept secret, and want to remain so.
As for the insignificant ones - they could possibly be aircraft being tested, or just to throw off people trying to figure this out - such as us. They’re made, probably by someone just with Photoshop, looking to make it look like clouds, or a lense drop, and probably without special training on what that would look like, so it’s faked. Hence why it doesn’t always line up, hence why they don’t get larger as you zoom out. They’re supposed to look like water droplets/lenticular clouds, but whoever made them didn’t do his research. Chalk it up to human error, get on with your day.
That’s why I think, anyhoo.
I’ve seen spheres like that in movies shot from nasa and shuttle missions . found some clips of them.
Havent head of any explanation for these objects. in some clips they move in multiple directions. Perhaps the invention of the ball will surpass the importance of the wheel. hehe.

think its the 8th and 9 ones down on the page
man, that is very clear steve. nice find. that could possibly be what we are looking at here.
although it does look like a weather balloon
As to why the orbs are centered in the pictures: nothing mysterious. It’s because the people posting the links to these pictures, centered the picture in their web browser’s window, then copied the resulting URL (web address) from their browser’s address field, and pasted that address into their post.
What I find most creepy is how so many people could considerate “google pictures” as the truth !
It’s the same that people who say “i don’t find it in google, so it doesn’t exist”…
a lens reflect ? condensation ? clouds ? ufo ? nobody’s thinking that it could just be a picture trick, a “photoshop-like” effect, just to increase google’s new hype stuff’s popularity ?
it seems sometime we only see what we desesperatly want to see
-Yo se lo que son, son fenomenos metereologicos que afectan eventualmente a la toma del satelite, no os habeis fijado que nunca salen nubes (burros) buscad la manera de comprender que estas fotos han sido tomadas en meses, y si por alguna razon ha salido es por el hecho que no se han dado cuenta los bobos del google, no me preocupeis mas y no perdais el tiempo en esta mierda pagina, hay cosas mejeres que hacer.
