“This film realized through a series of frames NASA/CASSINI, and shows an “appearing” Saturn moon (an very bright object), that it is, in reality, a “Spaceship”. This strange “moon” that after to have oscillated in the space near Saturn, it increases its brightness and it suddenly vanishes leaving only a light wake. An Iperspace jump? Warp Drive? Light Speed Jump in the deep space? Due to avoid that the sudden disappearance of the UFO can be chargeed to an abrupt movement of CASSINI probe, is evidenced, in yellow line, two Stars on the background. Well, as it is seen clearly, during and after the “Jump in Iperspace” the two stars they are still to their place and to vanish it has been indeed the “Light Sphere” that probably has distorted the Space-Time.”
I call this obvious bunk for two reasons: first, the bolded portion above. If the image was indeed a moon, and the streaking effect was in fact caused by the Cassini probe moving (as I believe was the case), the stars in the background would not have moved. The streaking effect can be caused by the camera moving even an absolutely tiny distance, but due to parallax, the background stars wouldn't move at all.

“The object in motion (in yellow) is not an image arifact since is coherent in the resumption and the movement, of constant Albedo and texture clearly not attributable to errors which “noise”, “dead pixel”, “missing pixel” and “cosmic rays”.
It is not neither a moon because, since of the time of resumption and the tipology, it moves too much fastly regarding the star field on the background and centred on “infinite”.
How determine its speed? Simple: observing the anomalous object in relation to other two fixed celestial bodys that finds on its direction of movement (triangolation).
If it was a moon, its movement regarding those celestial body would be null, insignificant.
The moons they move in imperceptible way for the human eye that it observes to direct fire. The Cassini probe, then, rotating on itself, would move the background that it observes in “coherent way” (therefore would move the hypothetical moon and stars on the background that it observes in “coherent way” making them to move all together).
All this does not happen!
The anomalous object does not change its single position regarding the CASSINI probe, BUT ALSO regarding the stars on the background.
Moreover the anomalous object moves on an anomalous and incongruous direction regarding that which one determining from the CASSINI spin.
Conclusion: it is tecnically an unidentified object, situated at a distance intermediate from the Cassini probe, reflective, than is moving to elevated speed and in erratic way, (intelligent movement).
And if some skeptic thought to a “dancing pixel” or “hot pixel”, we remember that in these images we are not observing from the Earth the Asteroid 2009 DD45 www.youtube.com..., but this time we are observing directly from the Deep Space.

Why is the image overexposed?
Cassini's cameras have 63 different exposure settings, from 5 milliseconds to 20 minutes. Scientists planning an observation must choose the exposure for each image taken. That can be tough if you're taking a picture of something you've never seen before. Thus, incomplete information on how bright something can be can lead to an underexposed or overexposed image.
Images can be overexposed on purpose too. If the scientist is looking for something dim next to something bright, the bright thing may be overexposed. Finally, Optical Navigation personnel use images to see where Cassini is relative to Saturn and its moons. Often they overexpose images because they need to see where these moons are in relation to the stars in the background sky.
What are those streaks I see in some images?
There are high-energy particles that fly though space called cosmic rays. When one of these particles hit the camera's sensor, it causes a bright spot. When one of the particles hit the camera's sensor edge-on, it can leave a trail across the image. Exposures shorter than a second will not have many of these spots or trails. However, long exposures, like those from a minute to 20 minutes will contain many of these trails.
