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!
Is there any way to view Moing PIctures and/or higher resolution images? I’ve been examining images for about 16 years and love problem solving. [email protected]
I found more strange things like UFOs, in Europe, concretely in Bilbao. You can see the images here: http://www.bidaiak.info/blog/?p=20 Sorry, the text is in Spanish, but you can see the images and follow the link to the real google maps website.
How about a copyright mark installed by Google?
you know there are spy probes around the world that look nothing like airplanes?
ok,…Ive looked at all the photos…most of the LA ones …well…had nothing…dunno what we’re supposed to be looking at in those..anyhow I for one am sure of “visitors” from “somewhere” else have been and are here… check out the Brazilian Govt’s recent release of once top secret reports and photos…then tell me you still have a doubt. i’m also an amateur photographer and a “student of light” and it’s effects and unfortunately what i see is [and im 99.9% sure] condensation on the “window” of the plane that these were taken from…aerial /weather/research planes have windows on thier under bellies ..from which cameras shoot thru etc.
how i know this is a] ive been in one of these planes..[they are usually old military planes]…and b] the top or “crest of these UFO’s are all dark…while the rooftops etc below are very bright…probably a high sun around 12pm – 3pm even though the “sides” of these objects show the light source coming from the same direction as well as shadow…they arent as bright as they should be in that area of the spheres….and the tops being “shadowed” or darker than the illuminated side…this would be from the inside of the plane being dark..
not to burst bubbles… i wanted to see UFO’s as much as anyone…but in my opinion [which is all this is] condensation on the outer /belly “glass”
Ah, these UFO believes make me laugh. No we are not alone in the universe. But we are not being visited either. Not by humanoid creatures who appear all over the world all the time. Evolution makes it impossible for beings born in other planets to be so similar to us. They would have to evolve from extraterrestrial apes, which would have to evolve from some other kind of mammal, etc.
The size of the galaxy and the universe also makes rather impossible for us to be visited. What a huge coincidence that from billions of star systems in out galaxy, the aliens find us just 100 years after our first radio emissions (meaning they are not more than 100 light years away)! And what a coincidence that the universe is so big, but only one species (these stupid humanoids) found us, and that they look so similar to us.
No, its all nonsense. UFO belivers want to believe in alien UFOs, so anything they cant explain becomes an alien UFO sighting. And in fact, they cant explain anything. They dont know nothing about science.
There are hundreds of scientifically plausible explanations, but they think its the most improbable one. If you dont udnerstand something, it doesnt know specialists who studied YEARS dont know what it is.
Someone mentioned earlier that people who give other explanations rather than UFOs come and never return, and might be agents paid by the government to hide the truth. LOL, come on!!! Conspiracy theorists!
If you think I am a conspiracy agent, you can find me in the http://www.skyscrapercity.com forums. I use the same nickname there. I am from Novo Hamburgo, Brasil. Ok? I WISH the Illuminattis were paying me lol.
Simple reason for straight lines:
Whatever it is – probably weather balloon was photographed several times on different dates – so you’re just seeing the path of the object – i.e it’s the SAME object woving in a straight line, blown slowly by the wind.
So there you go.
Ian
I haven’t read all 657 comments, so I’m not sure how which parts of this have been discussed before, but here’s what I make of it.
We have to consider that some of those photos, especially the Los Angeles ones, were taken in broad daylight and cars can be seen on the roads underneath them. If the cameras taking the pictures could see the objects, then people on the ground could too, and there were plenty of people there. Yet they saw nothing. This pretty much rules out any large object, which leaves only two options: Small objects close to the camera and things that aren’t objects at all.
The first of those include water droplets on or near the camera lens and small UFOs, balloons and ballistic ping-pong balls. However, ping-pong balls would not follow the airplane to make those nice lines, and balloons would go too slowly to. That leaves water droplets and miniature UFOs.
The latter includes watermarks or masks placed there deliberately by Google, glare off objects on the surface, imaging artifacts (such as defects in the camera lens or software problems) and ghosts. However, glare wouldn’t form straight lines and probably wouldn’t look like what we see in the pictures, imaging artifacts would presumably either only happen once or go on happening for a lot longer than these things did and Google watermarks wouldn’t be specially gathered over certain cities.
That leaves water droplets, UFOs and ghosts. I think we can determine which one is most likely. Unfortunately, water droplets don’t do a very good job of explaining what is, to me, one of the strangest parts of the pictures: Florida image number four, which is partially obscured by a row of trees. Perhaps the picture just underneath it was taken at a different time and/or by a different plane, and then automatically blended with the upper picture by computer?
Conclusion: Water droplets.
Several people have come up with the correct answer but it’s still being treated like a mystery.
It appears to be moving with the aircraft that is taking the pictures but is not in all the frames in a line. It appears along with a ‘curved hook’ in some cases with the relative position being the same. The color changes from side to side and the illumination seems to be coming from several directions in different colors.
The correct answer is dust and hair on the slide scanner. Try it with a normal scanner and a slide adapter you will see exactly what I mean.
this is really good edvidence of what i have been seeing here in the skies of connecticut! those things are for real people! they can disappear and appear out of nowhere! im not gonna sit here and go on and on but, it is really something you just have to SEE IN PERSON to EVER beleive i guess.
More UFO’s in California
34 08 18.87N, 117 12 21.44W 34 08 31.54N, 117 35 24.26W 34 08 05.37N, 117 36 13.77W 34 08 12.24N, 117 39 07.39W 34 08 30.88N, 117 38 19.46W 34 08 24.80N, 117 23 37.85W 34 08 20.93N, 117 18 00.99W 34 08 20.06N, 117 15 09.54W 34 08 12.98N, 117 33 20.28W
More Google related speculation, check this one out. I’d say man made but it is wierd because of its location, on restricted ground At Pine Gap. No thats not a watertank in the middle of nowhere. I don’t think a thousand employees are going to rely on bore water from a tank like that, If your unfamiliar with Pine Gap and like a good conspiracy theory then look it up. Most Australians have no idea about the rumours surrounding the base except for the locals of course.

These are ALL ‘Black Ops’ Military aircraft out of area 51 and Dayton Ohio,.
I thought I’d throw in my 2 cents. I have not read all the comments but the ones I have read seem to try to rationalize these things into what we know from our everyday experience. I believe these are actual ufo’s from other civilizations, far more advanced than our mere 100-years of technology. Aftyer all most of us did not get our first desktop computer until 1990 and that was a piece of crap. For them to be floating over your head without being seen from the ground is probable child’s play. I hate to burst your bubble but “We are not alone.”
I dont´t know if these things are orbs, observation tower or something else… Any suggestion ?? Just found strange…

Whoa, Ethereal,,,are there 3 of them in that last link?
Yes. I search the web looking for any reference about them, but i didn´t find anything. It seems they are in ground level.
These orbs seem to be common. Remember the recent Zarqawi bombing video? an orb is dancing around in it. I wonder if certain camaras are picking it up.
The flat bottom orb is the best. See any sparks around the bottom. It might be a factor in its suspension. What you see is an aether effect. It may not be a complete sphere that perhaps Tesla may have levitated. A definite flat or pancake coil from Tesla on the floor giving off sparks.
Want to ride in one enveloped by electricity, didn’t think so. Making the aether, air if you will, solid is what Tesla called levitation when his experiment and demonstration separated two zinc plates. Guess he went on from there but will we ever know for sure.
Sorry just saw this; 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. Did not go over yet but it may be part of the pulse spark propulsion that is hot enough to boil vapor and cause the cloud. Remember it like digital propulsion of Tesla sparks driven around the orb mostly down to levitate. Then a simple put put sparking to move it along.
Sorry again: Sorry just saw this; 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. No. I was talking about this vapor trail: http://www.eyepod.org/TAC-google-spheres.html
hi listen up. i just found this site and seen the photo’s. i couldn’t believe it. you can call my nuts or whatever but i’ve personally seen one of these amazing….metalic, shiney, ball-bearing like spheres in person. (my boyfriend was with me at the time and he witnessed it also) it was the secound friday in july 2005 at 4:40 in the afternoon on a very clear day off the 91 fwy. where the big cross is on top of the hill, near riverside. anyway it was about 60 yards away and it was about as high as a 4 story building would be. we couldn’t believe what we were looking at. theres this silver, shiney chorme ball. i swear it looked like a ball bearing with a weird haze around the outside of it. i think in the photos thats why they look a little blurry.anyway it was as big as a house. it was just hanging there, there was no sound, it was silent. there was no smoke, there was no lights either. we looked at each other and didn’t know what to think. it stayed there for about 1 minute it was kind of bobbing a little. then it backed up about 20 feet stopped for about 10 seconds then it went straight up into the sky about 100 feet and stopped again, i mean when it stops it’s a dead stop. next, it started to go higher but swaying from back and forth like it was playing around. then it stopped again, went in the opposite direction a few yards, and then it went straight up so fast i can only compare to a jet and it was about 50x’s faster then a jet. we watched it intill it was a tiny dot in the sky and then it was gone. i’m telling you this was no man made thing or anything from this earth. it was far to advanced, you would have to see it yourself to understand.it definitely was not a weather balloon, or condensation, or a cloud. or a drop of water on the lens. the photos captured exactly what we saw. it was a ufo (unidentified flying object) i will never forget it. i swear to god this is the truth!!!
as much as i would love for those to be ufos, they just dont look like ufos to me. they look alot like sonic booms. there could be an invisble ufo somewhere making a sonic boom or something, but thats kinda unlikely. id say that that is a sonic boom from a military jet. still pretty cool though. nice find.
how can you see a sonic boom? hey i seen one of these round ufo’s in person…. it was very real. looks just like a shiney ballbearing. it wasn’t a photo.I watched it fool around in the sky like it was playing with the birds. stopping, then changing direction, swooping back and forth then shooting straight up faster then anything i’ve ever seen.there was no sound, no smoke, no lights. just a haze around the outer sphere. crazy but true.
Over the weekend a photographer posted some shots of day time stars. Also a dark cloudy sky with a so called black orb. Also a plane passing one orb or Haunebu type saucer. The site went down and now I see some of his pictures are missing. See if any are left at control-alt-delete.ca
No, the moon is red.
I HAVE SEEN ONE FROM THE GROUND. IT’S NOT A WEATHER BALLOON!!!
there not seperate objects they are the same object taken at different times i wont say how i know this but i do know it
One of the shots (https://www.googlesightseeing.com/wp-content/ufoupdate2.jpg) is the West Palm Beach Sikorsky helicopter test area west of West Palm Beach on Bee Line Highway. Each of the “UFO’s” seems to be the same size, probably 40 to 50 feet, if how sizes tell anything. Isn’t it possible that all of the “UFO’s” are actually the sun reflecting off rotating helicopter blades? Sikorsky “Heavy Lifters” have huge blade radius’. And several of the “UFO’s” are in Palm Beach County. Yes it is very likely.
Here’s one in Rome, Italy.

you suck
Untill I can see it with my own eyes I can’t say what it is. But I can tell you have seen 6 UFO’s in the last year. 4 of them off of the 210 Freeway near Realto, Ca. IN THE SAME AREA!!!! Our first and WILDEST was on July 9th 2005. Our UFO report as well as others is posted http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/ndxe200507.html
Just go to July 9th 2005 click on the blue date on the left of the page! Let me say Hallaluya!!!! Hallalu-YAHWEH! They are UFO’s! Crafts of the God’s! Angels Hevenly Transport! They came from the Heavens! I’m sure the Government is going to start following me again just for posting this! I don’t care. I don’t fear Satan! I’m with YAHWEH! I hope you all understand what I’m saying! God’s back and the end is near!
WHEN U R READING THIS DONT STOP OR SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN MY NAME IS SUMMER I AM 15 YEARS OLD i have BLONDE HAIR , SCARS no NOSE OR EARS I AM DEAD IF U DONT COPY THIS JUS LIKE FROM THE RING COPY N POST THIS ON 5 MORE SITES OR I WILL APPEAR ONE CREEPY NIGHT WEN UR NOT EXPECTING IT BY YOUR BED WITH A NIFE AND KILL U THIS IS NO JOKE SUMMET ING GOOD WILL HAPPEN TO U IF YOU POST THIS ON 5 MORE SITES
The image of the highway and the Google earth watermark above… I noticed that on the highway the illumination is coming from below (the shadow is at the top of the truck), but the “UFO” object seems to be very well illuminated – with a very white light – from the top side, exactly in the other direction. That would suggest the “UFO” image is an anomaly on the film or in the lens or equipment, not an object flying/suspended in mid-air below the mapping aircraft/satellite.
Or is someone going to tell me the object is being illiuminated by either the mothership or by “moonglow”??
I find it noteworthy that all these UFO are the same basic, fuzzy shape–when reported sightings vary quite a bit by shape/size of observed objects.
NO, No, No… you people have to think bigger! this is abviously a government conspiracy to try to keep us out of the way while they work their evil at Area 51!…either that or they’re aliens!
Most of the images seem to no longer exist on google maps.
I believe it is not a water droplet or anything on or near the lens. If you look at the location two L.A. link in google earth and then in the menu go to Add > Image Overlay, you can see that the images are outlined, the “droplet” crosses the line intact, indicating that it is not on or near the lens.
Also I am seeing one north east of this location that I dont believe had been mapped.
HI I think si a fake! One joke by google ehehehehehe 😀 Any think else?boooo bye http://www.dario-avellino.it

THEY ARE NOT UFOS! THEY ARE HELICOPTERS MAN YOU ARE SO MAASLKFJDAS
THIS IS SO AWESOME!!!!! it’s a REAL UFO! tha UFO it’s at least 5000feat of the ground. i can realize that the UFO uses solar energy to move, how? watch te color of the UFO in direction of the sun (grey) and the opposite part (blue)… it is just a theory. It may be that the UFO it is just a decoy or an explorer. I can also notice that the UFO uses stealth material to make it “invisible” to the human eye and/or our radar. HOW IT IS POSSIBLE the invisibility of the ufo to the human eye? it’s simple, their technology it’s whey much advanced than ours. and who knows, they may have access to our satellites, to our private lives… who knows 🙂
It looks to me in the different pics that it could be glare from the earth. notice the shadow of the trees in the left pic well geography speaking the glare (UFO) the sun is on and angle and so the brighter light on the glare is where the brighter light and no shadows are is on the land so my theory, glare from the sun and sky b/c the glear has a blue in it so the sky is blue… ring a bell?
The link below is from the Mars Rovers Spirit and Opportunity Raw Images Database.
http://marsrovers.nasa.gov/gallery/all/1/n/916/1N209497696EDN75GTP1585L0M1.HTML
This is an image of the Martian sky. The UFO appears to be cylindrical in shape. There also appears to be a heatwave trail, indicating that the object was moving (in a lateral direction). In the next frame taken about 30 seconds later the object is no longer visible (again evidence that it was a MOVING object). It also looks like the object might be glowing.
This is a UFO sighting on MARS folks!….so all bets are pretty much off for the ususal suggestions from people who do not believe in extraterrestrial activity.
“It’s an experiemental military aircraft” “It’s a water droplet on the lense” “It’s a weather balloon” “It’s space junk” “It’s a strange weather pattern” “It’s a hoax”, etc.
I have been doing extensive Mars, Moon (and now Titan) research for the last three years. There’s somthing up there. Something beautiful and not to be feared, IMHO. I believe this “something” could truly change the world for the better (on a more “permanent basis).
Peace (NOW!)
Dennis Kucinich for President 2008!
PS: The image that I’ve posted the link to above was the image that out of the blue popped up on my computer screen when I (very stupidly) tried to make the text bold on a custom signature for the very first post I was submitting in the Dennis Kucinich Forum. The Forum and my post disappeared and there was this image in its place. Now I do have this image saved in my personal files, but Control Bold should have not brought this image up. I believe this is a very good sign for Dennis.
They are not there now 🙂
Also could be a trick like this is http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/01/23/flying_car/
This google capture of ufos has been called a fake. One thing is now that I have it on my pc is its a collection of satellite photos and not real time satellite images. This means that the ufo was captured at the time of the image photo and noticed by the viewer. It will be there until the next update of the photo. Thats why people keep the picture and note the location and plot the points. Like this place: http://www.eyepod.org/TAC-google-spheres.html I am looking for real time but will keep on looking for the ufo capture.
They are not weather balloons, just balloons. you can see a string over ther free way. Its very clear. there are hundreds of them all over the stats. iv found god knows how many.
Its good
contact ufo public journal.
wouaww
Has anyone noticed that goggle has removed the spheres from google maps?
They are totally gone.
Conspiracy anyone?
