Why is the lower right corner of the first original image blanked out? Did it have the date? Yes, key questions: where and when.

The question for "when" seems to be answered on the first post.

Dark shadow to the condensation trail seems anomalous for two reasons:
-small clouds shadows are usually light grey -seen from the ground, a dark object at high altitude appears blue like the surrounding sky, not black I deduce that this black "shadow" is an imaging artifact, not a real shadow. Thus the "shadows" on the main object are imaging artifacts too, for the same reason. Such imaging artifacts often happen in digital systems when ther is a bright spot which saturates the electronics, or make a low pass filter "bounce", or with jpeg compression (which seems the case here). So what remains is indiscernible from a very ordinary aircraft fuselage (the wings and fins being not visible, as it is often the case, as they are in the shadow, so they look dark and then they disappear in the blue. Maybe this aircraft has two engine attached to the back of the fuselage, like the old french Caravelles. Sorry Enrique! Doug, this is what I call ufology. Interesting things begin only when we CANNOT find such explanations. Am I wrong? |

I dont mind it being at UMSF, but it was in the wrong sub-forum. It wasnt manned spaceflight (i.e. Soyuz, Shuttle, Shenzou etc) - it was more the off-topic forum called EVA MMU

Thanks. -------------------- "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 |
