This is my first post on this forum, so I thought I'd try and make it interesting
 I own a book entitled "The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Space Exploration" (Richard S Lewis, Salamander Books, 1983). It is a 'coffee table' history of space exploration up to that point. One picture on page 203 is . It is an image of the north temperate region of Jupiter allegedly taken by Pioneer 10. What the picture also shows is what appears to be a 'spacecraft' flying across the image from upper left to upper right leaving a bluish exhaust trail. I had planned to include a scan of the image, but my scanner is kaput, so the directions will have to suffice. First, has anyone else seen the picture in question? Second, does anyone have any idea what might have produced this picture (other than a 'spacecraft')? Is there a Pioneer Image archive? |

It's just a test by the Deep Black Deep Space section of the US military. I'm just waiting for the Mars Face crowd to take this image seriously as well. -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

I've always been surprised that this has, to my knowledge, never been promoted by any UFO/Aliens Are Among Us believer in any form. Not even by Hoagland... |
