interesting images... perhaps you might want to resize them so that it doesn't take forever for those members who don't have access to a broadband connection.

They are huge, even for me and I am on a 512 connection (not the fastest I know).

i will do that i will crop the good pics

Those really look like space junk reentering our atmosphere.

I checked out www.reentrynews.com... and there is nothing listed for today. But they only cover objects that naturally fall back to earth, not anything purposely deorbited.

Maybe someone can find something on NASA's site?

the last few images appear to be on contrails...but they dont expand or disapate, what kind of timeframe was there between the first such photo and the last?

it was taken 30minutes after the first few pics , thats right the trail did not get longer while i was watching it,then dissapeared behind a cloud

Those are some interesting pics.

I have also cropped the ones I found particularly interesting.

no. 231


no. 232


no.237


no. 238


np. 239




In this enlargement of no. 237, it appears the contrails are kind of merging with the power lines. But this may be due to .JPG artifacts and/or the contrast (color leakage between the two)


But, as I always say, I'm no expert.

While I'm not doubting the authenticity of the photographs presented, I believe all such claims should be scrutinized.

My verdict - undecided. I don't really think that it is a UFO in the "Flying Saucer" sense, until it is positively identified, it is an Unidentified Flying Object.

Space Junk sounds good. Maybe even Kim Jong Il sent a dud this way. lol

thanks mechanic those are the contails i was talking about and ovwer a reported timeframe of 30 mins theybarly move at all, no im no expert on weather but those appear to be at hight altitude and it tend to be very windy up there so why wernt these blown away?

Hmmm. You bring up a good point. But if it is falling at a decent speed, the contrails would more or less remain intact, no? And they do go away, it's not like they are following the object forever. They do fade away.

Another thing could be jet exhaust contrails?

Maybe a failed launch of something? Does anyone here have any info on whether NASA had anything planned for today?

Any other Aeronautical news?

This might take a bit of research.

Hey CYRAX, your object has similarities to my thread
www.abovetopsecret.com...

Mine was taken in melbourne though.

Some interesting explanations were offered in the above thread. Almost hard to dismiss.

Well done on the pix.

When did the Discovery shuttle re-enter the atmosphere?

Could it be just the shuttle?

Great pics.

Actually they do in fact dissipate somewhat. I took several of the similar ones and layered them, using 50% transparency. I was trying to determine if it was the same exact image in all of the photographs. It did not appear to be a copy and paste job, there were similarities, as well as differences. When layered to give them the same exact size and orientated the exact same way, when put one on top ef the other, the differences are more apparent. Also I noticed that the larger the frame number, the shorter the contrail, even though the difference was very slight.

I am convinced it is an actual falling object of some kind, and not a hoax, anyway.

I'm just wondering if "space junk" falling through our atmosphere would produce such a contrail. I'm no rocket scientist (pun not intended), so I can't be sure. But that is the most likely cause, barring a jet of some sort coming in for a very bad landing.

Any reports of aircraft going down in your area, CYRAX??

If all else fails, blame it on the e.b.e.'s. lol

no aircrafts have come down recently

Digital camera's typicaly bleed light too. And they generaly store images in JPEG format so thats double whammy :p

just found this look carefully its leaving a trail this is really weird!!!

Hmmm.... looks like solarizing filtering was used here?

At any rate, the filtering may have introduced other artifacts, as well as more .JPG artifacts during conversion and filtering. It's better in my opinion, to analyze the original pictures.





Then I tried to duplicate the effect. Came fairly close with using 'glowing edges' filter in photoshop, then converting to negative. No other 'enhancements' were used.

This is the one I toyed with, to get similar results. I used the highest quality setting, resulting in fewer artifacts than what cleary shows in your pics. Not trying to debunk any theories you have CYRAX, just pointing out flaws with the .JPG format.



It is definitely a solid object. No doubts about that.

Well those are interesting and think they could be ufo's although I have a feeling that it's just a shuttle landing. Does anyone have any comparison photos of what that looks like?

Shuttle landing in Sydney?

I see two different phenomena, the first "orb" object and the second "contrail" thing.
Given the timeline (4:30/5pm) they can be the same, uncertain. The first object can't be space junk. Space junk or anything that falls from the sky and not being a bird or some self propelled machine would just crash on the floor, most likely just desintegrate.

The question is, if it isn't junk what is it? I'm no expert so I can't explain it as gas or light phenomenons. Maybe it's a real UFO in some high energy form... It's really unexplainable as far as I can acknowledge from the pictures. But given the fact that it cannot be space junk the remaining explanations are gas or light phenomenons, a self propelled machine or simply something unexplainable (whatever that is).

The second thing, the "contrail", was there for 2min as the author said. Space junk doesn't need 2min to descent some hundred feet. It's like it's stamped there on the sky. Light or gas phenomenon? You tell me.

Well it deffinatly leaves a smoke trail wich indicates that something must have been burning. Its probably an object that enters our atmosphere and burns up because of the friction.

I'd be willing to be it has something to do with Discovery coming back to earth the other day. Maybe even write an e-mail to nasa with these pictures it does look like debris to me
