When I saw the thread tittle I knew it was you. Hasn't this been done before countless of times only under different thread titles by you?
NOTHING conclusive will come out of this thread, only pure far fetched speculations. Like the numerous speculative threads that you started before this too will wither and die because the lack of any concrete evidence and proof to the existence of these 'monsters' which can be explained by humdrum, prosaic, mundane, no-nonsense irrefutable common sense and science. - camera lens, /digital imaging anomalies space debris, meteorites, ice crystals, discarded propellants, discarded foils, plastics, flotsam and whatnot from the space shuttle either accidentally or purposely. It has all been explained by NASA or other space agencies. It's been done to death and debunked all the time by NASA. Give it a rest.
There's nothing extraordinary or unexplained. If there was it would be all over the news. Media would love this stuff. Think of the ratings they would get. So this shows us this is nothing out of the extraordinary.
Oh and have a nice day.

What about this? It's a star - Rigel, at a large focal length. Why does it look like this? Unless you use a timer setting after you press the shutter, the resultant shots will always come out like this. If it is properly corrected for this by using a timer, focusing, and being absolutely sure that the mount is steady you'll always get this type of 'streaking'.
Where vids are concerned, this could be the result of having an unsteady hand. For objects (stars) with focal length at infinity, one needs to have a proper mount that is absolutely steady or else you may get this distortion or 'ghost' images.
So these may not be any kind of weirdo symbols by the aliens after all! But hey! What do I know? Them aliens could probably be signaling the end of the world!!
Cheers!

Good find oROSSTAo! If this is what you're talking about...
Sure looks strange! Especially the way it writhes as seen in the vid!
Cheers!
