Wasn't trying to offend you, it just seemed to me that it would be understood that the angles of the light from the Sun have no effect, so I thought you included that to distract from proper analysis. If that was not the case then I apologize!

Let me try to explain again: Regardless of the fact that the light from the moon is coming from the Sun, the moon can and should still be treated as the 'point source' for this analysis. The position of the Sun or Saturn and the angles between them have absolutely no effect on the lens flare caused by the light being reflected from the moon, as the intensity of that reflected light does not change over the course of the analysis. Again, I know that the sun is producing the light (I was an astrophysicist at one time) but for the analysis of the flare on the lens, the moon itself can be treated as the 'point source'. In fact the moon does flare in the center of the frame, but we are not seeing the edge flare effect until, the edges. It would help to know the exact nature of the lens, that might clear up why light sources on the edge of the lens flare so much more than objects in the center. It is likely due to edge optics effects.

Also, I simply don't agree that we would see strictly a straight ray in a lens flare scenario. I have seen plenty of non-ray flares, various shapes, diffuse, non-diffuse. Even the 'entrance' flare on the animation I am referring to starts as a ray and diffuses slightly at the end (as it traverses from the edge towards the center of the frame,) just not as much as the exit flare. I already explained why the second flare would shift as much as it did and you understood what I meant (due to the fact that the moon was in orbit and about to change direction right off the camera frame.) The assumption that lens flare would only be in the form of a ray is wrong, in fact I think we are looking at clear evidence of a non-ray type caused by edge optics.

Again I mean no offense to anyone, but at times it just seems that the physics behind this is being tossed out in favor of assumptions that would shift the evidence towards the object being a UFO. But that is enough out of me, if people want to think this is a spacecraft, I don't really have a problem with that, because as I said before I believe in aliens and frankly I think people who don't have their heads where the sun don't shine (pun intended!)

Thanks for inspiring Mike though with the concept! It made a great thread!

I also have another web site I started in 1997 thecomingoftan.com... talking about Riley Martin and once the Voyager Spacecraft started sending these images back to Earth...

Aw shucks! These guys on the web are faster than light!! But at least they've shown an ATS link in the animation!
Cheers!

To respond to... WitnessFromAfar... the 1997 images were from Voyager I & Voyager II the Cassini images are from 2004 when the Cassini Spacecraft arrived in the orbit of Saturn.
To respond to... Mikesingh... I think he said the images of UFOs Riley took are proven fake. Really. Who proved the Polaroid pictures were fake? I have them and no one has asked to see them in their hands so don't say things that are not true. They were never proven to be fake. And I don't give a damn about what you think. Where is your thinking credibility anyway. I have a US Patent so that proves I can think. You can see most of it on helloearth.info... and go to aboutus it is linked from that page.
As for the lightbulb image from Cassini I had that on my web site just days after it was returned to Earth on 24 May 2004. Flip it upside down if youwant to laugh at what they are trying to say to us... they are trying to say hello and yes you have found us.
When you are putting puzzles together you can't focus on only one part of the puzzle... it is the combination of parts that fit together that make a picture and that is the picture I have been trying to present since November 1994 when I entered this subject... but at the time I knew nothing about the Voyager spacecraft images of the luminous object. Saturn is so huge they had to know where to look to find what they were looking for.
I was thrilled when I found the stars were the same stars showing the camera on Cassini did not move to take those images of 24 May 2004. What does the light bulb look like to you flipped over? And isn't it amazing they knew Cassini was about to take their picture so they tipped their hat or did something to make it look as it does. Got to go.
Holy alien spaceships batman!!!!
Umm...
If Im not mistaken,
Isn't this proof of ET's?
Obviously intelligently controlled(both objects).....
A super mighty flag, and the brightest blue star ever!
UNBELIEVABLE
On May 24, 2006, Martin called in to the Stern Show to demand more money for his radio show. He showed his angry side, swearing and raising his voice. He also used racial slurs. The deal Martin had agreed to, and then objected to, was $200 a show.
On July 25, 2006, Howard Stern revealed that Riley Martin had asked for a salary of $5 million a year, which took Howard 100 and Howard 101 program director Tim Sabean by surprise.
On July 31, 2006, Howard Stern increased the offer to $325 per show. Howard pointed out that, even with the $100 in expenses for travel to the Sirius studio weekly, Riley would still clear $225 a week. Riley did not accept the offer, calling it "field 'n-word' pay". Howard responded by reducing the offer to $250 per week. Riley called Howard's negotiations "typically Jewish".
On July 17, 2007, Martin made an in-studio appearance for the first time in years. Riley's salary was a major point of discussion. Martin also revealed that he spent two and a half years in prison for having 611 pounds of marijuana in his pickup truck, among other charges.
On September 10, 2007 the Howard 100 News reported that Martin had been arrested for violating a restraining order filed by his wife.
Martin claims that these aliens, flying aboard 'The Great Mother Ship' to which he is taken every time he is willingly "abducted," have given him this knowledge so that he can produce and sell hand-drawings of these symbols, which will allow passage aboard the Mother Ship when the Earth is 'transformed' in 2012.

Ok, Curtis, are we talking of the same ‘Martin’ here?
I would first like to stress that I am a firm believer in the possibility of the existence of alien craft within the Solar System. Having said that, I am also a hard core skeptic when it comes to claims by people that aliens have taken them for a cruise around the Solar System aboard their mighty spaceships.
I also need to know what is Riley Martin’s agenda? If he needs to spread the word about the reality of these aliens, then why is he charging money for this, fighting over the sum being paid to him?

And here’s something that’s beyond belief…
Martin claims that these aliens, flying aboard 'The Great Mother Ship' to which he is taken every time he is willingly "abducted," have given him this knowledge so that he can produce and sell hand-drawings of these symbols, which will allow passage aboard the Mother Ship when the Earth is 'transformed' in 2012.
Now why would he want to SELL these so called symbols? In other words, if we don’t buy these symbols from him for a hefty price, we’ll all be consigned to hell when the world ends in 2012!!
Now all this doesn’t inspire confidence, what?
So what is his credibility? Whenever people start selling their out-of-this-world stories only for monetary gain, they become suspect in the eyes of the public. Doesn’t it give one an impression that his only agenda is scrounging for green backs?
But I would love it if he has proof of his cruise with the ETs!
Cheers!
