UFO Updates
Wednesday, 18th May 2005 by James Turnbull
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!
The more I read this thead, the more I think it’s a UFO. The reason is simple : 1) This is an Object. 2) This object is Flying. 3) No one knows what is is, so it’s Unidentified.
Clear : UFO 😉
for the french people:
je pense que la goutte d’eau est en apesanteur devant l’objectif ce qui explique la forme spherique sur les photos
pourquoi les gouttes apparaissent par paires? parceque le sattelite prend deux photos avec deux angles differents
la couleur bleu vient de la reflection de la mer, le blanc du soleil
the translation:
i think the droplet is weightless in front of the lens that’s the explanation of the spherical shape on pictures
why do they appear by pair? because the satellite takes two shots with two different angles
the blue color is due to the sea reflexion, the white color is due to the sun
Essa merda é falsa ! Meu amigo do serviço disse que a equipe Google colocou essas imagens para enganar os perobentos de plantão ! Que piadinha mais sem graça !
Aeeee !!! Vagabounds !!!!
Eu acho que é verdade e que os ETs são malvados.
Chabiscrou & Felipeta are a pair of dumbasses!
What’s going on in Paris at the moment? o_0
I see all these white dots.
If you look at reference number 34.138770,-117.252660 using Google Earth, the 3D sat. system and rotating and adjusting the tilt, I think you will find as I have that there is no “depth” to this UFO. There is plenty of depth to all the surrounding buildings etc., but not to it.
Ergo, I can only conclude that it is a either a trick of light, or a sun spot on the photographing satellite lens, or some other explainable anomaly.
Believe me, I would LOVE it to be something extraterrestrial, but I am pretty sure this one isn’t! However, I CAN say with a certainty, that my wife who is a TOTAL disbeliever, DID see a real UFO many years ago in Toronto, ON. She has convinced herself that she really didn’t see it after all, but I know she did!
E.T. – come home!
Anyone know exactly what this is?? some oil refining site or something?
Google Earth: 34°37’57.23″N 103°44’8.76″W
If you mean this, it looks like center-pivot irrigation in the New Mexico desert.
Sorry, the URL didn’t take. View Placemark
oh.. thx
I found a new sphere situated in Peru, Nazca. Look at this reference point : 14°42′25.69″S 75°13′13.85″W
Seems very similar to the other ones found in florida.
I found an other serie of “orbs” just NE of the ones over LA.
Added some others too 😉
Also found scrathes where the “grid” theory should display “orbs”…
I put all of them in a KMZ file for Google Earth wich can be found here : http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showthreaded.php/Cat/0/Number/62197/page/0/vc/1
Has anyone considered that it could be a marker used by google to line up the images for their scrolling code? I know there are a lot of UFO heads around here, but it seems plausible it’s something google added either as a) a technical aid or b) an easter egg/joke of some kind. I just think it would suck if you were looking for your house and it ends up being under one of those.
oh my god i think aliens are taking over what are we going to do, i cant come to terms with it. i need to go home to the moon. please nasa take me home, i beg you one style. pleeeeeease with cherrys on top and banana, dannyboy go home please, i beg! i beg!
Chris said..
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
And it’s obvious that many out there don’t want to “see” the possibility that we are under a microscope.
I think Alex is right about the rounds shapes (I’m intentionally not calling them moving object, because that would be just an assumption)
To Black Domina I would like to say. Check out View Placemark In this images you see the reflection of the sun in the mirror/window of a house. Because of the movement of satellite and/or rotation of eart and/or opening of window during the shutter time of the photo, the reflection is altered causing a white stroke instead of a spot.
Your image shows light reflected by airplane (which is a more complex shape then a spot already) that is multiplied a couple of times because of the same movements (satellite, rotation, flying of airplain) during the shutter time of the lens causing a couple of similarly shaped reflections being realy closed together and causing a strange shape.
Sorry, Black Domina, I neglected to see the dark blue copy of the artifact top left of the white reflection.
http://joebardi.blogspot.com/2005/04/pappy-always-said-to-stay-out-of-river.html
It must be something due to the physics of lenses that allows for different wavelengths to focus at different focusdistances.
However strangely enough the left side of the white spot (airplane?) appears to have to wings whereas the blue airplane only has one wing. The extra white wing might be caused by reflection of an additional object. But I don’t understand how it would not be subject of the same physical laws and thus causing an extra left wing on the blue airplane?…..
It could by also due to the process of stitching satellite images. During that proces blurring and shifting of images occurs that explains the same shape (without the second left wing though) being a bit shifted in a different color (super imposing the water colour on white plain)
Had anybody seen this? It looks like the “original” of all the ufo’s… Somewhere in or near Tokyo: View Placemark

look at this….the golden spot. what could that be

Thanks for all the interesting posts on this subject. I’ve looked through most of the comments, so if I’ve missed a post on this, apologies. I’m curious what people think of the line going from one of the “Spheres” (for lack of a better term) here,
View Placemark
It appears to be shooting some sort of energy beam into a Semi-Trailor truck driving on the Hwy. If it was the Google ppl making fun of everyone, you’d think they’d put one near or at their headquarters…
Perhaps It’s Stephen S and his Alien buddies stealing movie scripts from Universal???

Looks like a small plane that reflects itselfe in the water?
philipp u have found something really weird in that picture. I think u people need to take a look:
View Placemark
to Holgi: building. to philipp and Spotter: reflection of sun or bright fire/light
:O
to Black Domina: Thanks to Jahwe who brought me on the idea. The blue plain could very well be the shadow of it (not the reflection of itself). Look at the engle between the white en blue plain. The angle is the same as the shadow of the crains. Which makes sense, because the sun makes for the shadow to be.
Cmon guys It’s just a rocket. the way this is proven is if you look at some rocket lauch footage and look at this it’s realitivly the same. Besides all het the zigzaging tail should be a BIG tip off.
the golden spot’s the rocket I mean!
Just strange places in Nevada.

What do you think ??
Wow….. That’s Very STrange Indeed. I would think the runway would be a private one. Alot of people Live in nevada Desert. The Pyrinid is harder to explain though. I would think It would be used to shield equipment from the wind (Mostly sandblasting). Also These area’s have been used for Scientific Expirements and Are privately owned. My Assumption is that these people have ALOT of time on their hands.
The pyramid is actually a triangular hole in the ground. Look at the shadows of other objects.
You’re looking at the Nevada Test Site. Lots of strange things happened there.
What about this “thing” ?
View Placemark
Not sure what that is but it’s part of the Deseret Chemical Depot. Can’t be too important because there is no fence around it. See http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/facility/deseret-gallery.htm You’re not picking these sites at random, are you Ethereal?
Sure not, Jack…
Strange sign… maybe a target…?? Satellite Calibration…? Number seven… where are the others…? Any idea…?
View Placemark
What about this… ?? A missile silo ?? Take a look at the symbol in the middle of it.
View Placemark
Your latest pictures are on the Tonopah Test Range, see http://www.dreamlandresort.com/info/tonopah.htm Terraserver’s topo maps call these objects “targets,” but there isn’t much evidence of bomb or missile craters around them, see http://terraserver.microsoft.com/image.aspx?T=2&S=12&Z=11&X=655&Y=5235&W=2
The symbol in the middle of the second picture is not a radiation symbol, that has three lobes. What is strange to me is that they permit Google maps to show these high-definition aerial photos covering much (but not all) of the Nellis complex. Area 51, for example, is a lower-definition satellite photo. Found any flying saucers at Nellis yet?
Not yet, Jack…. If you have Google Earth and try to view Area 51, you will have a nice surprise…
Would you mind posting a picture location of Area 51 on the google map there? I’m curious to see the area 51 view. I looked around the area of your last post Etheral and I found two giant black circles . Seeing as my geography is utter crap and I have no idea where that is… was that Area 51?
I’m sorry, I feel really stupid lol. I did my own research and that IS area 51… ai yai yai. Some cool pics i found while browsing the internet though. That area of land is HUUUUUGE beyond belief. Makes me wonder how large the underground parts are that we can’t see
As Jack said, my last post refers to Tonopah Test Range. Here is yhe low resolution image of Area 51:

Found the target number 3…

I’ve been using Google Earth to view these pictures. MUCH better resolution. Anyhow, there appears to be a baseball diamond at Area 51 there near Groom Lake. I guess nothing beats a hard day at the dissection table then a good game of basebal ; ) You know what would be worth checking out, however, is those pictures of animal line drawings that you can only see from an arieal point of view… The ones the Aztecs left behind or whomever. I think i’ll go looking for those now

Hi, Jack. I know about the targets. Do you have any information about that giant gate whith a yellow and black circle that i posted later ?? I didn’t find anything about it…
Ethereal, All I know is what I see on the web and on google maps and on the terraserver topo, which calls it a “target.” There are 2 other “targets” in the dry lake bed to the north, one circular and one square or diamond shaped. To the east of the lake (called “main lake” on the topo), there are installations called “master launcher 5351” and “9A gunsite 5345.”
This location is about 3 miles from the edge of the Nellis Range and about 20 miles South of US highway 6. I suspect that a conventional rocket launch would be very obvious to anyone on highway 6, so if your “target” is a missile silo, it probably isn’t used much.
The stealth fighter was tested at the TTR and flown from the airstrip about 5 miles away, so maybe this stuff is there to test the stealthiness of the F-117. Or maybe not.
You might want to check out the 2003 TTR Environmental Site Report to find out more about the area.

Found this one… Don’t know if it’s a target too… it’s huge.

Where’s the HALO base up in Alaska? I bet we could get some interesting pics
I’m producing a new reality show called “X-testers” on TLC where two hollywood SFX artists try to recreate mysterious phenomena (kind of an X-files meets Mythbusters). We’ll be heading out to Tempe, AZ on Sept. 17th to “X-test” the Google orbs that appeared over LA and Florida. I am looking for three sightseeing “witnesses” to feature on camera who believe that it could be a UFO. These people will be featured to set-up the mystery and will remain on camera during the segment and interact with the “X-testers” as they fashion their effects. In the end, the witnesses will be shown the results and the conclusion will be examined. The tone of the show is fun and positive. This is not a situation where anyone is discredited or made to look foolish. Currently scheduled for Sat, Sept 17th, it will require your time most of the day.
If you’re interested, please send an email with a photo to [email protected]. Thank you.
There really are some numbskulls out there aren’t there? I really think you should find out more about imaging technology (and a basic grasp of physics) before you start claiming ufo invasion! As space boy points out you arent actually controlling the zoom function from your silly little computer. You are just enlarging an image on a hard drive somewhere! And, as i understand it, the satellites and / or planes dont take single ‘snap shots’ but a continuously rolling feed on a very complex set of lens. This would go someway to explaining the ‘scrolling’ water droplet – image a scratch on record as it revolves. As the plane or satellite does a sweep it will appear again and again until it evaporates or blows off.
