Odd Object Caused a Warp Distortion in Front of Saturn's View

Based on what I see, i don't think it's a plane.

What is it you see that makes you think it's not a plane?

a reply to: grey580

Maybe that's what the Russians witnessed ?

Exhaust gasses from a factory, chimney, or a jet nearby? There are weird distorting anomalies in the atmosphere floating around often, some sort of plasma gas pools or something. You see them over swamps once in a while, they make things blurry. I don't know what they really called, I don't even notice them anymore. They distort the view when you look at the stars some nights, they are usually not that High I think because they seem to move with the ground airflow. The clouds move in a different direction than them sometimes, but I do not know how high they are. They could even be pollen clouds or something.

plane



red flashes then white flash, same with planes i see at night

Well, it's a plane... but it does at least appear to be "transparent" or maybe "cloaked" as Saturn is visible throughout its transit.

Either wonder woman is out and about or it's maybe a cloaked military plane... OR an optical illusion making Saturn seem visible through the transit due to disturbed atmosphere, but I can at least see why she thought it weird.

My bet is it isn't unusual, but I'm no expert.

It's moving really fast no matter how close it is to Earth. Also the lights in question are too big to be lights on a plane.

Alien spacecraft use navigation lights?

And exhaust?

Who Said anything about that...
Clearly its a plane

made me think of the cloaked plane in SPIDERMAN:HOMECOMING.

Spoiler alert

I'm not going to say airplane, but I will say possibly ball lightning, or something other natural electrical phenomena... the two distinct flashes make me immediately think of "sprites."

Plane. The first is probably the red power light and the second the strobe under the tail. Probably a 737 with that tail strobe location, but there are a few others that have one there as well. The 737 is by far the most common.

When it does the slow mo, you can clearly see the planes wing and fuselage.

wait what? no!

a reply to: humanoidlord

Why not, they could be lying about being a missile? You know the Russians if they can use it for letting us know that they are testing pretty mysterious tech for their own good they would do it?

a reply to: 0bserver1

Missiles don't have nav/power lights and strobes.

Since Saturn was not far off the horizon of Earth, the "fast mover" was evidently not too far removed from Earth. Basically, I surmise that it was a UFO-type of vehicle (ours or theirs) and as it sped away from Earth it prospectively crossed near Saturn and the field of the mass drive effectively distorted the image of Saturn at the camera's position.

Many has been the reports of massive black triangles slowly moving across the night sky and distorting the images of stars that are behind and around it. Same deal except caught by a telescope and camera off from a side angle.

ETA: 'Very unlikely that a typical US aircraft could move that fast/distance in a second. The flashes can be a cause to wonder if weapons were fired either at it or from it.

a reply to: Zaphod58

I was referring to another picture in another thread to try and link this thread with a previous thread.

It's a military aircraft. Likely an offshoot of the Marines Osprey. You can see a round configuration then X pattern which a camera would catch of a rotor blade spinning as it's too fast for the FPS to fully render.

It's flying with Night Vision. It's not transparent. It passes right under Saturn in view but to the left. The rotor blades are clearly visible.

Warp drive engine wash.

Nuff said

...in all seriousness... if it was exhaust, or perhaps the shock front from a high mach aircraft(?) Do the you think it would have to be moving even faster than it looks? Moving almost directly away but slightly left? Who knows.

I too think this looks very much like a passenger plane.

I don't know how big the lens is, but to get that amount of detail of Saturn you need a decent lens or reflector.

I think the "cloaked" effect is caused by the refractor / reflector.
