mystery ufo near ISS

a reply to: Cobaltic1978

Yes, interesting in that the object, if real, is of a fairly large size as it is, "supposedly," we should say, passing behind the solar panels. So it is either genuine or a CGI hoax 'cause that ain't no "ice crystal."

The only way I can explain that camera angle is either: 1) another orbiting satellite 2)..no that's about it I think.

Looks like a cloud.

"A UFO has been spotted near the International Space Station in footage broadcast after astronauts evacuated part of the orbiting craft.

Alien spotters noticed a strange object disappear behind the ISS, reigniting bizarre claims that the space station is actually a place for aliens to come out hang out with humans.

Footage of the UFO was shown on the news channel CBS, sparking furious debate among online conspiracy nuts. It is not clear whether the film was stock footage, or taken from NASA's live feed."

video at link. looks big. note use of the term 'conspiracy nuts'


www.mirror.co.uk...

The two dots or objects on the end make it look just like the orb in the video from this www.abovetopsecret.com...

They look the same to me.

What are those two round " balls " above the solar panels ?

In space? Okay.

Is there any possibility that it is a large high altitude cloud passing the space station is passing over?

Yes, good point.

Could be very well, as the 'UFO' seems to move at the exact same speed and towards the same direction as the ground landscape on Earth. There's a large river visible and the distance that separates this rivers from the 'UFO' seems to be the same in all frames.

I would like to know what could possibly be casting the purple shadow on the object's right side. It doesn't appear to change as the station passes over it.

They're part of the solar panels. They're on the bottom panels too.

I'm guessing it's the position of the sun?

That's what interested me. Clouds don't tend to create shadows on themselves do they?

a reply to: sg1642

Yes, they do and the shadow can be visible depends of the observer position, the sun position and of the altitude of the part the cloud where the shadow of its higher part is cast on:



Add to that the poor video resolution, no image reference, and voilà here's a UFO...

Okay, it's the position of the sun. I thought IAMTAT was joking initially, but seriously, it's where the sun is situated.

Clouds form shadows? It depends on the position of the sun, seriously.

Yes of course, I just edited my post while you were quoting it

I'm thinking that the density and hue of the object's shadow might indicate that it is less solid/dense and more translucent...indicative that it is possibly gaseous in nature.

Note the corresponding shadows on the ISS are darker grey...and reflect the station's greater density.

Please, your attempts to debunk this are amateurish at best, not taking into consideration that you need a source of light ( The Sun) to create a shadow. You are clutching at straws. It may well be explainable, it may well be something other than a UFO, but your attempts at debunking are laughable.

There are several satellites orbiting at a lower altitude than the ISS so it could be an out-of-focus image of a satellite.

Yeah, could be, please provide other instances of this.

The more that is revealed about our orbiting missions the more it seems that there is a ton of non-human traffic up there.

That bubble appears awfully small to contain anything human size or grey size. If it's got life inside of it it would have to be much smaller than us.




Looks though it could be a ball of plasma.

I don't think it s a cloud like you have shown in the picture because in that picture you see under the mushroom clouds a distinctive cloud blanket layer which of course one would expect to see if there are mushroom clouds sprouting from that layer, in the Nasa picture I see no evidence of that layer.
