I saw the Stars moving in formation again! This Time PICS

Rek, you should believe the liquor store guy, at least on this account.
That planet is indeed Jupiter.

But, the interesting thing is... that it has been there for at least three weeks. I don't remember a planet being stationary and viewable for such a long period of time.

Is this the start of the planets lining up for 2012? /shrug

Your pictures are quite interesting, in regards to the three objects. But, its hard for me to conclude what they are. Do you have any other pictures that show these, in possibly another formation? Another picture of these objects would help to prove they aren't something like bugs, or a balloon.

Were you impressed by the sight of it, when you first saw it?

Well, actually, not really. At first I thought it was my imagination, when I established that it wasn't, it was just pretty strange. The snake wasn't as clear as in the picture that was posted here. Also, at some point I fell asleep, so I guess it wasn't that impressive at that moment.

I just randomly told my friends during the next day and didn't think about it again, at all, until I saw the title of this thread. I wasn't even looking for info on this phenomenon.

Enigmania, your pictures look like points of light taken with a shaky hand, as one of the last posters point out. Were you using a tripod?

I didn't take any pictures, I think you got me mixed up with another poster. Also the pictures I was reffering to, is actually only one picture, the one with the "snake" like line of light.

edit: I'm reffering to the first picture "crawgator406" posted.

The picture might be the result of a shaky hand, but all I know is that it looks like the thing I saw, and that wasn't the result of "shaky eyeball".

Just to keep things from getting confused:
THIS shot was taken by "The_Glen"
and posted on 8/7/2008 @ 09:11 PM.
He started this thread. I merely enhanced his photos.




And THESE shots were posted by "Crawgator406"
on 8/8/2008 @ 02:13 AM. These were also enhanced by me.

You can go back through the pages to see the "original unenhanced photos".

Thought you said you were looking at 1 very interesting. Those don't look interesting. What a sham. This dude just trying to annoy people. Ignore much?

I saw this triangle formation from my home in Bourbonnais, Illinois. I remember looking at it and thinking -- wow -- if that was a triangular shaped UFO it would be humongous. However, I saw it about 09:15 p.m. last night due north of me, which would have put it exactly where the poster said it was. However -- at the time I saw it it seemed stationary. When I finished at the track at 11 however, I do not remember seeing this triangular formation at that point. It may have been because there were other stars present -- or it could have been it did move and I was too busy yacking with my jogging-mate to see it.

tbh i find the first photo of the 3 strange disc looking objects very interesting becuase if they were said planets, wouldnt they have the light reflecting off them on the same side becuase they would be far out enough to have got the light from the sun. so if they have light on opposite sides they are much closer to earth and must be getting it reflected artificially, can anyone please prove me wrong before someone yells spaceshi.

Ah, shouldn't have saved that as a jpg because the text got distorted. But in case you can't read, here are the two points:

1. There appears to be another object in the photo moving closer to the object in question.

2. The object in question's movement can be attributed to a shaky camera as the cloud is also blurred.

Very interesting posts. I also live in this area.

Yes dust ...

What a waste..
You need a pro camera on tripod with a looong exposure just to see a 1 pixel white dot or a line. Stars are not easy to photograph.

And the other pic by the other poster is not a "sky snake" .......
Its a point light taken with a shaky hand. Go and shoot any pic of a point light and compare.
Well but I dont know what that light is...

reply to post by rocksolidbrain


The pics that you are refering to are the ones i took last night. the camera was on a tripod on my rear deck of my house also keep in mind that it was hard fog we had last night in the bottom corner of the pic is a bush thats in my back yard next to a security lamp. i have a 7.1 pixal nikon L16 with a 10 ft finger triger to snap the shot. so the camera could not be touched or moved. so what look's like a shacky hand is not. hope this answers any questions

reply to post by lexiconave


the blur that you see is all the fog we had here at my house. i live right on a river. the object in the second pic would get dimmer then it would get really bright. it would get closer than farther. when i thought it got closer i snapped the 1st pic than i snapped again for the 2nd pic. so if you notice the bush in the pic it never moves out of frame. the whole point of the pics was to show The_Glen what had saw last night, when i let my dogs out.

Does anyone else notice the spiral in the original orb pics? I find that to be interesting compared with some of those STS ufo's that also have the spiral in them. That really caught my attention.

reply to post by Myendica


Can you please read the whole thread before you post I said it looked interesting from the camera screen, but now that Rek brightened them up this was clearly what I was trying to take a picture of, even if it's dust or not.

If the star like lights you are talking about are three pin points of light travelling in a V formation they are more than likely going to be the NOSS satellites.

Do they have 12 NOSS satelites then?

No! One of the posters said that he had seen three points of light travelling across the sky. They could be the NOSS satellites...

"The 3rd generation NOSS are the first to employ only two satellites. They made their debut in September 2001, followed by launches in December 2003, February 2005, and June 2007. "

So....the latest NOSS's have 2 satelites very close next to each other. You need 3 points to make a triangle.

reply to post by The_Glen


Don't know much about the recent satellites but the original NOSS (Naval Ocean Surveillance System) where in three's. They orbit the Earth at a height of 1100km and form a triangle roughly 100km across. As far as I know they are still in existence and may account for this sighting...
