Earth orbit and they aren't moving. How can that be? Satellites are in Earth orbit and they zip across the sky.
But these things can't be seen from Earth. They can't be seen because there is nothing there. The images are from 1977 and the "objects" are not objects in space.
Neither SkyMap nor WWT presents a real time view of space. They use images from various sources,in particular, the Digital Sky Survey collection. The images are made by combining the original plates (one with a blue filter and one with red) to create a false color image. The flaws in these images appear only in the blue plates.
The Digitized Sky Survey comprises a set of all-sky photographic surveys in E, V, J, R, and N bands conducted with the Palomar and UK Schmidt telescopes. The Catalogs and Surveys Branch (CASB) is digitizing the photographic plates to support HST observing programs but also as a service to the astronomical community.
The 6.5-degree x 6.5-degree plates are scanned using a modified PDS microdensitometer to a pixel scale of about 1.7 arcseconds per pixel for the POSS, SERC, and Palomar Quick-V surveys, and to about 1.0 arcseconds per pixel for the POSS-II surveys.
Definitions of False-color image on the Web:
A false-color image is an image that depicts a subject in colors that differ from those a full-color photograph would show.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False-color_image
In remotely sensed image, electromagnetic radiation is expressed in either red, green or blue combination. They do not resemble to the original color of the earth surface. In FCC(False Color Composite), very-near infrared, red and green are represented in red, green and blue respectively.
glossary.mapsofworld.com/F.jsp
An image where normally invisible information is assigned certain colors to help enhance contrasts and make data easier to interpret with the human eye. X-ray images and weather maps are good examples of familiar false color images.

Or..
They are nothing but flecks of dust and scratches in the photographic plates.
Nah. Impossible.

I will be grateful if you will expand on the "spiritual energy masses" that are shown in these photos.
Many thanks

how in gods name does this thread have 67 flags?!?
am i missing something here? a credible source perhaps?
cheese and rice ATS...............seriously?
i want negative flags and negative star features instead of the massive onslaught of lame ads that i will never click on

In order to remain over a fixed terrestrial location a satellite must be in a geostationary orbit. A geosynchronous orbit is not the same as a geostationary orbit. A geostationary orbit must be over the equator. That means it has a declination of 0º. The "Objects" have a declination of around -89º. An object cannot be in a geostationary orbit at -89º declination. You need to brush up on your astronomy and orbital mechanics, spaceman.
No, not much digital photography in 1977. But pretty good scanners nowadays.

They are in Earth orbit. Hence, "not moving".
I'm sure you are aware of the satellites that are in geosyncronous orbit?

These are not objects "holding station" over the southern hemisphere in 1977 or now.
