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!
Too bad they didn’t tear those houses down before building the big fuzzy dome on top of them. It would have been a much neater job, and it might not be defunct now.
Please!
I’m sure it’s water. I’ve done work with imaging from inside a vehicle, and a water droplet on the windshield will make a similar mark. I imagine that with aerial photography, the camera is placed inside some sort of protective housing, and I doubt it would be too difficult to get condensation inside it. As for the grid and line patterns, my guess is that this has more to do with the fact that photographs are generally rectangular than it does with anything else: all of the droplets you can find in a given area are most likely the same droplet in reality. The spots may not appear in the same position in each image because aerial photos are cropped and sometimes warped a bit in order to make a smooth set of orthophotos.
Here’s a clarification on Trish MacGregor’s comments about the auditorium at the site. The hovering object is actually about a quarter of a mile from the former Mangonia Park jai alai fronton. (Jai alai is a sport imported from Spain that’s played in South Florida.) The fronton has been torn down so this is definitely not a picture of it.
However, this area has been in the South Florida news recently because boxing promoter Don King would like to renovate the 55-acre jai alai fronton property, which can be seen from the same photo if you back off slightly and look north, or put1415 45th St., Mangonia Park, FL into the into googlemap box.
Late last year, King was attempting to gain interest in building a new domed stadium at the site for the Florida Marlins. So, I’m wondering if the fuzzy hovering dome on the map could be a digital image of a domed stadium that someone shifted slightly from the original designated location? Just a thought.
It seems sort of suspicious that the UFO looks like a domed stadium and one recently was planned very close by. I’m not a UFO debunker or skeptic, but I always look for logical explanations for unusual phenomenon before I buy it.
I know of an interesting case involving 3 black helicopters that repeatedly hover above the home of an abductee who lives in St. Augustine, Florida. Many people have seen the unmarked helicopters, and she even claims to know when they’re coming. If anyone has any information about these black helicopters, or black helicopters in general, let me know. Rob MacGregor [email protected].
Hey Rob,
Thank you for the information. My apologies to Trish. There has been so much bs on here (much of which, thankfully, has been deleted) that I have taken to assuming too much. For example, “Zya” posted a link above, with the words, “Check this out… what do you think that is?” It is a link to a dot on a photo of LA, number seven at the top of this page. Not only that, it is the precise link from the top of the page. I made three tries at acquiring the dot indepenently, and centering it as well as I could, and I got three different links. Hmmm. A “troll,” methinks.
Don King? Eeek! I think I’d rather have the three helicopters for “neighbors.”
Real names! I’m not brave enough to do that here!
Cheers
This is clearly a marketing thing by google as is many things they do just so people like us post it all round the web lol.
Now we all know that google has a new map feature.
dont u think?
All the signs are here for you to interpret.
UFOS Abductions Crop Circles ORBS
WE COME IN PEACE… OPEN YOUR MINDS…
BLIND FOOLS
Im always ready to believe anything said by an alien calling me a fool. So those are your ships then?
These are not UFOs. They don’t appear to be “flying.”
Sure look like lens diffractions to me:

Interesting tidbit:
Prophet Yahweh” agreed to meet with a reporter and camera crew of KTNV at a location of their choice and time. What they witnessed, and captured on camera, stunned the reporter and crew.

Its smoke.
First: That “globe” or “UFO” can be a satellite. Click on my name (Emilio) to see the article about it. Second: But if it isn’t a satellite or an UFO or a globe, so it is an… Third: …EXPLOSION!!!
Been there, seen the “Statellite.”
One more time: These photos were taken from an altitude of 17,500 feet. From an airplane. That’s approximately half as high up as a typical cruising airliner. That’s why the detail is so good. A friend of mine is pretty sure he saw his bright red car in front of his workplace near Chicago!
look like a UFO!
While one or two of these could be glories, most of the dots lack the yellow and red tints that glories commonly have. I favor the condensation theory, and the relative changes in the shading from clear-to-blue or blue-to-clear from top to bottom is probably because the plane was making passes in two directions.
More interesting to me are the “tails” that appear in the first several LA photos. (See tensuns’s collection at http://www.flickr.com/photos/48556057@N00/14843322/in/photostream/). Is this condensation getting stuck at shat seems to be a scratch, or was there a foreign object inside the camera gate? I’m sure it’s not a hair, because that would be an awfully thin hair and one very moist and bulbous follicle.
As to “why don’t they happen in every shot,” is it so incomprehensible that a surveillance/surveying plane would have an array of cameras aboard? Especially if they were using digital cameras that needed time to save to their media? If these are the best of the photos they took out of the array, I’d hate to see how much distortion was in the others.
I saw it with my own eyes last May 20, 2005 5pm CST for about 2 mins.
Same object of what I saw appeared on video below
http://wm-ondemand.abacast.com/prophet_yahweh/ABCnews1.wmv
http://www.filecabi.net/v.php?file=ufoondemand.wmv server 2
On memorial day. Look up. You might witness it for yourself.
Ninja, Its definatley a ninja.
Stardust – I have seen them too 🙂 not on memorial day. When we pulled over to get a better look, it vanished.
Glories?
morning glories ? 🙂
Its a burning house.
It’s a drawing pin (thumb tack) stuck in the picture.
It’s a Rorschach test. There are no wrong answers, just a lot of crazy ones.
Um, what if the object is moving in the same direction as the plane taking the pictures? That would cause it to show up in the mutiple pictures. The entire state of florida is not taken in one giant picture.
Don’t you see that the object always appear in the exact center of the image, never in a more random position? I’m sure this is an artifact of the camera or the assembling algorithm
If you want those blobs to disappear, call this guy:

Uh-oh! This one’s gettin’ away!

I think it is a software artifact. Notice on the final approach to the Las Vegas airport (from the east) there is a very-low-res tile in the image that fades into the hi-res map. Such fadepoints may be left behind when hi-res tiles are stiched back into the database.

Two words…Sun Dog…A Sun Dog is a reflection of the sun off water vapor below an aircraft, or even a Satellite Notice in the Glendora Ca. (LA Photos) that the “orb” is following the track that sun takes durning certain times of the year. The streets run north and south east and west for the most part, in this area. Seeing as there is always a nice marine layer here in Southern California putting water vapor above these areas, and the fact that the shadows of the buildings and trees show the sun to be pretty close to behind the picture taker, I say Sun Dog The Orb/Sun Dog changes position with time as the photograph taking divice changes position. Funny thing is that most people want to see a space ship. that is my theory. thanks junkero
Follow me
did it ever occur to anyone that this is a huge marketing scheme made by the makers of the upcoming movie “war of the worlds” years ago the infamous radio broadcast spooked the world that there was an alien invasion. now the internet is being used.
Things the UFOs are definitely not…
…
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.
So, just because Shi Ju says so, it is fact? Besides, Shi Ju said they are not marks FOR picture stitching, not produce BY the stitching software.
Can anyone explain what this is? It looks like an explosion:

Its ignition of atomic test in Las Vegas.
It appears to be a small lake in Idaho, about 30 miles due South of Boise and 5 miles NW of the Snake River. It is inside the Ada County National Guard Firing and Maneuver Area. It’s also inside the Snake River Birds of Prey Wildlife area. Not sure what the box around it is, but the topo map says it’s a lake. Here is a satellite picture of it. http://home.supernet.com/~jacksmountain/images/Lake%20in%20Idaho.jpg
Sorry, I meant to say 5 miles NE of the Snake River. Zoom out the google image and you can see the river to the SW.
Hopfully this will post, for some reason , my other post vanished.
Under the Freedom of Information Act the Echo has received details of all official UFO sightings reported to the military over the past five years

The “sun dog” theory makes the most sense to me. I live within a couple of miles of the Florida spots, and the areas with the spots are extremely humid and swampy. Those areas are right on the edge of the Everglades and there’s so much humidity that we need gills, not lungs.
izzy has a point. i did mention that they are not marks FOR picture stitching, but I never said that they were produced BY the stitching software.
still i really doubt that such an artifact had been caused by some stitching soft. in that case it wouldn’t be THAT rear only to appear in FL and LA.
after reading hundreds of posts discussing that thing i say let it be whatever it is.
I agree with Zertus, these things have something to do with what Prophet Yahweh is summoning up!! See his videos, these are the same orbs
Steve – i will have to round up the links i posted yesterday –
You ever read up on ENOCH ?
Hi Xertus, I have so far escaped reading The Keys buy I intend to do this someday. I am currently hoping that something will come of all this exponentially increasing buzz, here and elsewhere. I’ll keep in touch tomorrow, time to pick up the kids now!
The orbs you see in googlemaps were recently captured on video. it’s not an artifact, condensation, sun dogs, sun spots, software anomaly, dust, hair, bugs, and morning glories. It is a UFO.

this one seems to be very blury and not mentioned anywhere else

Lonny, I noted that one in my May 22 post, above. Search this page for “faint orb”
The blurry white dot in the sky “summoned” by Yahweh is quite different from the Google orbs in Florida and California. The Google orbs are lit from two directions, the top and bottom. The Yahweh dot is lit only from one direction. See this comparison:
http://home.supernet.com/~jacksmountain/images/yaweh%20vs%20orbs.jpg
Furthermore, the Yahwet dot jumps all over the sky, whereas the Google dots are arraged in a fixed-spacing grid. See

I live right below those photo anomalies. There has been no unusual U.F.O. activity here lately. 🙂 Thank you UFO conspiracy folks for giving my Mythbuster high school class a myth to crack. This is great stuff and right over my neighborhood.
Its the Tesla Globe. That things dont have a mass. They consist of concentrated Electromagnetic Energy and Plasma. Read about what the Government dont want you to know http://www.cheniere.org/books/ferdelance/s55.htm
or use the search button and search for “tesla globe” http://www.cheniere.org/search.html
It IS SHOCKING
Stardust, thank you for the news video link. It’s enjoyable to see those smug, smirking, “news” personalities obviously embarassed by the reality of what their own cameraman is recording and their own smart-ass cub reporter is witnessing. Of course, this doesn’t mean that the “Google spheres” and that phenomenon are related, but at the very least it should serve as a reminder that our comfortable notions of physical lawfulness do not always apply on this strange planet.
Regards, Squiggy
That’s right Squiggy!, start looking into it deeper… there’s a whole world out there, many, if fact.
best regards to all of you Steve
