Strange Photograph Released In Danish Department Of Defense Report!

Here’s an intriguing photograph included on page 316 of the latest Danish UFO files released on Jan 28th, for the years 1978-2002. The report is 329-pages and previously classified. In this report, Captain Pedersen claims the Danish Air Force never tried to shoot at UFOs, saying that it would be a foolish thing to do so, considering their technology could be far in advance of ours.

This object looks like a jelly fish. What is interesting is that though this seems to be a lenticular cloud, it has a prominent brown ring. Lenticular Clouds, ( technically known as altocumulus standing lenticularus), are weird looking cloud formations that form as strong winds blow over rough terrain, which have been mistaken for UFOs due to their smooth saucer like shape.

Here’s the photograph included in the report:

Here are some photographs of what lenticular clouds look like:

No linticular cloud formations that resemble UFOs have been included in the Department of Defense report except the first one. So, is there more than meets the eye here? What do you think it could be - A UFO or a lenticular cloud?

Cheers!

Holy crap! Flying jellyfish! We're all doomed!

Flee their stingers dangle on the ground!

Well, it's jelly fish hunting season. Let's do it right.

Cool thread topic as always mike! I think it's deffinatly an anoymolous "solid" object, is dosen't resemble any of the lenticular clouds pictured below. Was there a more detailed discription given of the object or witness testimony?

It makes me think of that UFO that in Kootnz's story "The Taken".

It would even explain the dangling tentacles.

No one complained of a funny smelling rain did they?

Neat find, Mike; great picture even if it's "natural!"

2 questions:

Where do I get the Danish report? (the Brits' can be downloaded)
Was there a report from the photographer about movement, noise, et c.?

may be a steam cloud.

Vapour trail of a UFO?If the photo was taken more father away and as grainy as the documented pic maybe.

I saw this image last year and it really catches the attention. Much diferent to any other UFO shots. If you enlarge the image, you'll notice that it isn't a 'jelly fish' sky creature or whatever There seems to be a craft inside that is condensating the air. I read an interesting interpretation of what could cause the air to behave like that. I don't know enough to offer a suggestion, I'll read up on it later.

I'm flagging this and waiting for an Internos or Phage reply. I'll try and find the article that referenced the image and the explanation. It'll be interesting to see other people's conclusions on this one. Just hope it isn't as mundane as 'photoshop' because it's one that I'd much rather be real. Nice one

Well my excitement was short lived....

n 1993, artist Ned Kahn, who has among his interactive creations a three meter high mini-tornado in the World Financial Center in New York, created “Cloud Rings”, which you can see at right. A strange fog cloud is expelled from the central hole of a drum. A quick look at it may cause an instant dejá vù. Kahn’s cloud ring is a stable toroidal vortex. They are better known as “smoke rings” created by smokers throughout history. Both in its discoidal, seemingly solid upper form, as in its more loose lower appearance, Kahn’s vortex is an exact reproduction of the UFO photographed on that cold morning in 1974. The only difference is the scale, which suggests that the danish UFO was created by a very big sort of “drum”. Ole Henningsen, of SUFOI (Scandinavian UFO Information), actually investigated this case, interviewing the main witness, and locating the exact place and direction in which the photo was taken. And he discovered that the photo almost captured the Houlkærvænget heating center, which is directly below the UFO-cloud photographed. The sight of these curious smoke clouds were not very uncommon when the boilers were being cleaned. The Viborg UFO photo is therefore explained, and has little to do with NATO installations or alien spaceships camouflaging themselves as clouds. This UFO didn’t turn into vapor. It already was.

Sorry Mike!

The report is >20 MB in Danish!! No other details are available except that the Air Force couldn't figure it out. But check out Pauligirls post above where an explanation has been given in the link. (Thanks for the find Pauligirl! )

Here's an extract:

In the Viborg case it is believed that the origin of the ringed cloud cannot be attributed to an explosion. In situ inquiries by HENNINGSEN learned that the military in Karup were probably right when they assumed that the cloud had been the by-product of a steam release from one of city's three heating centres in the area (while the cloud itself consisted mainly of steam, the dark ring may have been formed by soot particles).

But then again, no one's quite sure!

Cheers!

Mike interesting post.
But the problem is, there is no standard definition of how a lenticular cloud should look.
Its just a basic formation pattern derived from visualization.
It could be any color and shape within the basic formation.
There could be smoke, smog, anything, that could change the color and make it look different.
I agree it looks odd though.
But I have seen some crazy odd looking clouds.I should get a camera and carry it around with me.

The whole problem with the cloud ring theory is that steam releases produce rings. The object in question doesn't look like a ring - it seems opaque. But it's funny how a secret classified report should include a steam 'ring'!! (If that's the simple explanation!)

Cheers!

Hmm, has any UFO information been released from the Soviet archives?

I mean the Soviet archives might actually be the most interesting information, Soviet Union being ahead of the space race with USA for some years and so on. With a huge land mass for the UFOs to land in. And with the Tunguska event, which is usually explained as an asteroid... But might be a giant Venusian UFO exploding as well.

You cannot expect small Nordic countries with no space program and very small Air forces to know that much... Denmark is a small area for the UFO to crash in, even if they attempt to crash land...

The only part of the UFO that doesn't look like a cloud is the dark ring. It is claimed by some ufologists that a natural occuring cloud can't display such a ring. This is true, and it shoots down the lenticular cloud theory. However smoke rings are not a completely natural occurrence, someone has to start them with a puff of smoke or vapor, or an explosion, and they do look weird.

I was thinking of some kind of explosion (mushroom shape).

Yes, it looks like a steam cloud, with some differences, but cannot rule out the steam cloud i think.


Later edit:WOW: 8 posts in the time i wrote this one!
