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!
to the ufo zealots..you guys want so bad for all this to be real you’ll continue to debate even whe the truth bashes you on your tin foil beanies. your fanaticism is akin to what i’ve seen in fundamentalist religions
Goom, I gotta tell you, you were axed by your IT dept. Look upthread. Highly recommend you not indulge in this at work, eh? I support you fully, of course, but THEY don’t.
Hi crazy horse, there are fanatics at both ends of the scale. I think the majority of people lay somewhere betwixt. I feel it is important to look at and question all aspects for and against such phenomena. Who knows, by doing so the truth may one day be revealed.

Azimuth.
The site was experiencing problems (a little rewiring perhaps) today for sure; I couldn’t get it to come up either and the admin said there was problems but still…
>>Could part of a watermark layer get copied and pasted along with the dot, and still only apply to one level of zoom in its new home?
Yeah, but it seems counterproductive. If the (piece of) watermark is separate, why apply it at the full zoom and call attention to it? And, if you have the original w/o watermark, why apply a part of a watermark at all?
“Who knows, by doing so the truth may one day be revealed.”
That’s what I’m saying.
If you keep calling everything a hoax or fake, then what good is there to try and reach such encounters or advance to other things besides being an office junkie who sits at the desk knowing that he is that, and that’s all he’s going to be and he came from an ape, he’ll die an ape believing what’s in front of his own two eyes and what makes the most sense because evidence proved it because there’s no other evidence yet that can disprove it because no one keeps seeking other explainations. Someone tells you the world is flat and some other person says it’s round so they mock it and laugh.
If -everyone- like certain-s, on this planet didn’t -want- it to be a UFO, then of course we probably won’t even have any chance of finding other life out there. Or prove where we really came from besides two rocks smashing together or evolving from a cell or being created by the “hands of God”. No one would seek it.
Well, too bad. They seek it. Seems we are on our way to having a maned Mars mission because people seek it.
And you have to consider the possiblities of facts and truths being hidden from the plublic.
There is most likely 100% evidence that alien crafts just sit there in the sky and watch us while we drive in our cars observing us like ants.
It’s most likely a real case scenario of the X-Files.
o/’ Everybody’s going to the party have a real goooood time.
Dancin’ in the desert blowin’ up the sunshine.
Blast off. It’s party time. And we don’t live in a fascist nation.
Blase off, it’s party time. And where the fuck are you.
Marching forward hypocritic
and hypnotic computers.
You depend on our protection,
Yet you feed us lies from the table cloth.

Um, this is a little weird! All sorts of interesting things here. I haven’t tried making my own link, but here goes. I was just cruising around over the LA area, as far as I know. Seems somebody has left lots of little goodies lying around!

Now that… is interesting.
Here is another blimp or something, not too far away.
Placemark: Google Maps / Google Earth
The blimp is not interesting.
But that target is.
See.

Now you could say that was the sphere, by a software or camera glitch.
You see how easy that is to say that?
The governments always say shit like that. And then they get proved wrong all the time, then they change their stories just like this:
http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index697.htm
That’s why I tend to disagree with it.
Yup. That there is a System Artifact.
How in the hell do you run into a target like that.
Because that seems like you are tied in with working with google, and you all just added that shit, you happen to run into it. O_o
Matter of fact, the fact of the messageboards acting up and the server being “slow”.
Because everyone was complaing about that 3 or so whatever hours ago.
Aw, I’m busted! Thassright, I’m a Man In Black. You win the all-expense paid weekend for two in Emmett, Kansas.
Actually, I did just happen onto it, while looking for more of those blue blobs. That whole area seems more colorful than most, too. Sure wish they had resolution like that for my ‘hood. I could tell if my dog was outside when they took the picture, unless of course my yard was hidden by a fuzzy spherical looking thing, maybe with Goog written on it.
For the record, I have no connection to Google or anything like that. I’m just a guy who has spent waaaaay too much time looking at this stuff in the past few days. I am thinking some kind of explanation from Google or someone is long overdue, too, unless they dreamed this up or they are just milking it.
“I haven’t tried making my own link, but here goes.”
“Aw, I’m busted! Thassright, I’m a Man In Black.”
“For the record, I have no connection to Google or anything like that.”
You sound so obvious too.
Whatever. You all want to play games, that’s fine and dandy.
So you captured some shit and now the CIA or some shit is telling you to play some mind games.
Whatever.
Go right ahead.
Chow.
G’night. I gotta git to bed. I thought I saw a car moving on one of them freeways just a minute ago!
The target appears to be in Compton. A rather obvious thing, isn’t it? I have to agree with you about all the games. Somebody havin’ a good laugh.
Damn Vogons, anyway!
here’s the real thing.

now, can someone point to me here in googlemaps the location of S4 (site 4) ? The thing is, They towed my spacecraft that was malfunctioning. My search point to S4 near area 51. I need to get it back.
wow, this thread is ADDICTIVE.. I just happened onto it while searching for something totally unrelated.. and that was 7 HOURS AGO! I, too, was trying to find another blue orb for you guys, but I couldn’t. HOWEVER, I did find some more targets.. these are in the Alaska area, and if you follow the resolution border both up and down, you will see some very strange things. hope this helps in narrowing down what they are, as what you’re about to see are DEF-initely NOT water drops.. my guess is they are markers added to the aerial photos for stitching.

I expanded Knostalgic’s blob to try to see the tree pattern he refers to, but I still can’t find it. Here’s what the expanded picture looks like.
http://home.supernet.com/~jacksmountain/images/142%20&%20736%20expanded.jpg
Examination of the expanded picture shows that the color resolution of the blob is much finer than that of the surrounding areas. This suggests that the blob has been pasted onto the background, because if it were a real object it would have a similar color resolution as the background.
ASMODEUS718>> wow, this thread is ADDICTIVE…
The first one is free!
mountain jack: can you expound on the color resolution thing? When I first looked at it, it looked as though the pixel (spatial) resolution was different but I think that’s an optical illusion.
Goomerator: I’m not sure you got my cryptic comment earlier… maybe you did but, if you didn’t, I think it’s pretty important that you do - more important than the topic of this board. I know why you couldn’t get on the site yesterday.
Azimuth:
I think the photo you took is more interesting, by far, than anything I’ve seen on Google maps.
The first time when I looked at mountain jack’s image, I thought the same thing. But when I took a closer look with more zoom in PSP, I saw the pixels have just the same size, the pixels of the ufo looks much finer because the colours if the ufo are like the same. The pixels of the background looks bigger because there are many different colours.
Just try a close up of 300 to 600% and see yourself.
Yes. At first, I thought it was a really interesting clue as to the origin. But, think about it, how could it be so? The picture was captured and resized. How could the capture have two different pixel resolutions? It couldn’t.
Hey, I found a new orb in the LA group. It’s faint, but it is in exactly the right place to line up with the 4 other orbs over San Bernadino.
http://home.supernet.com/~jacksmountain/images/San%20Bernardino.jpg
Placemark: Google Maps / Google Earth
These 5 orbs line up within 300 feet north-south, and are spaced between 2.65 and 2.73 miles apart.
Deepthroat Chakra, what I meant about the expanded orb was that the background has a coarser color resolution than the orb. For example, the background looks like 256-color resolution while the orb has 16-bit or 32-bit color resolution.
The pixel size is the same.
OK, that was the clarification I needed. You really did mean color when you said color… I’ll try not to misunderestimate (goofball word courtesy of GBush) you again.
Looking…
DC, I think I know what you mean. Everything else seemed to be working for me, even my hotmail account, which is usually the first thing to act up when things get flaky around here. Go figure. As far as my…associate up thread, I was not willing to watch my posts get quarantined while others were having no trouble, so I got some guy to post the basics. I see most of my messages have reappeared from digital obivion now, too. Hmmmm.
For those of you who are still open to the possibility of UFOs: In all the reports I’ve read, there is no mention of a UFO casting a shadow. True, the big triangles block out the sky at night, but the objects under discussion don’t fit that category.
On the other hand, there are lots of UFO reports describing saucer-shaped objects that spin and wobble, which could account for the motion-blur effect. Also, such UFOs are often described as generating some kind of luminous atmospheric disturbance most akin to a plasma cloud. In the daytime, the “mirage” effect of this atmospheric disturbance can also lend to the appearance of a silvery object.
Does this mean the objects are flying saucers? Of course not. They may well be, but we haven’t finished exhausting all other possibilities. I’m especially interested to hear replies from Google and the aerial photograph outfits.
The point is that you cannot rule out flying saucers based on the fact that they seem to defy ordinary physical laws. That, if anything, lends credence to the idea, because that’s a hallmark of UFOs.
Remember: These things ARE UFOs until someone identifies them.
mj, did you find this faint object by brute force or because the spacing of others implied it might be there?
I think possibly even the color resolution is alos illusion. Hardly definitive or scientific, but I sampled the colors in the object and a strip outside of it and got 3707 in the object and 15904 in the strip. The uniformity of the object’s color allows you to see the color gradations as being very fine, whereas the surrounding landscape is a mishmash and looks coarse. This test, even if done better, proves little one way or the other. But, if you look at the big picture, it definitely has greater color depth than 256. In fact, I just captured a small section of the Lytle Creek area image and it has 28844 colors.
Oh, OK, goom. I’m the clueless one. I’m quite relieved that someguy was a friend and not an IT manager that had nothing better to do than to sit around and see who’s screwing off online. The fact that you couldn’t post but obviously someone else at your same location WAS made me think you were busted. Never mind.
DC: Cool. Yeah, it’s the old hall of mirrors the disinfo people are famous for. Make that infamous. Once you enter, you quickly learn that logic is not always your friend, so who do you trust? Which is entirely the point of the demented game. What I dislike the most is the fatuous idea the practitioners have that they are smarter than everybody else because they manage to pull off the deception, when all they are really doing is a sophisticated form of vandalism. It is corrosive to civilization, and catastrophic for some individuals.
I found something new,
Look at this image again: http://home.supernet.com/~jacksmountain/images/San%20Bernardino.jpg
The distance between those ufo’s are the same. I’ll call this distance “X”.
I followed the ufo line to the West direction from this ufo (left ufo): Placemark: Google Maps / Google Earth and stopped untill I’ve reached the “X” distance.
I saw this white line (in the middle of the image, looks like a comma): Placemark: Google Maps / Google Earth
When I moved again to the west with the same distance again I found the same line: Placemark: Google Maps / Google Earth
And again, to the west direction and same distance: Placemark: Google Maps / Google Earth
Again same distance and direction, hard to see but it’s in the middle of the image on a roof: Placemark: Google Maps / Google Earth
So all these lines have the same form and size, and are located on the same line as the ufo’s with the same distance between each other (distance “X”). Excually, instead of an ufo u see a white line.
