Great pic. Now we can all sit back and listen to the media, “explain,” this to us.

This pictures in the op are not a comet, no way ....no how. There simply is no way this is a comet. Even if it was (and it is NOT) it wouldn't look anything like that.....unless this comet started from the surface of the earth, lol.

Yup
It's a comet

Not so I'm afraid. A comet that bright would have been visible months ago as it approached and would have had telescopes all over the northern hemisphere looking at it. Also because of their distance, comets appear to us to be moving very slowly, so if it were a comet it would still be there and would be visible for months to come as it continues its journey.

To me, the evidence seems to point towards a missile launch.

Insomniac, this is exactly what I am talking about. The discussion of this can't ever go anywhere when there is so much rampant ignorance around that you have people declaring it a comet or a supernova.

There is no excuse why an adult who is smart enough to use the internet has no simple knowledge about a subject they choose to discuss. I makes no sense to me. And trying to explain how it CAN'T be a comet or a supernova (or whatever they throw out there) is like bashing your head against a wall. If they are calling it a comet, then more than likely they will not understand the grade school level knowledge that explains how it can't be a comet.

Now, it is different if they are simply asking if it could be a comet. That type of member is seeking knowledge. But to have folks come on here and say "yup, it's a comet"...well, what can you do with that?

And to those of you that want to think that my ramblings have nothing to do with the thread subject matter, think again. It sure does. Simply pointing out that many members trying to discuss this don't have a grasp on grade school level science does deal with the subject matter. If one or two of them drop thier ignorance shields and use a little google in the future it will all be worth it I guess.

I am not sure what those flying objects are, but of more interest is the air around those objects and its trials.

The object seems to 'react' with the surrounding air, to give out those intense particles of glowing light, as if the object is electro-magnatizing its environment. Something inside that is turned on? To evade interferences from other emf sources?

I agree, plus if this were a comet, it's more spectacular than any I've seen, and they were hyped like crazy in the media long before their arrivals. Imagine how this one would have been portrayed. This one is definitely no comet. Funny side note: I remember learning about Comet Halley in the 5th grade in the 60's. We were told that it would light up the sky as if it were noon.

You hardly ever see stars show up like that in photographs unless the camera is specifically set up to do so. It COULD be a fake, although I doubt it in this case, but can anyone recognize any constellations in the stars?

That's a signature rock falling into the atmosphere from space. Either that or a very very very very very precise sun spot from far away.

Yes sir!
Your analysis is spot on.

I thought it was the Aurora Borealis for a while, until I saw the last picture.
Which kind of looks like a flying sperm...To be completely honest.

Um, anyway, the images remind me of the events described in the links below. It's definitely a missile launch.

I think I have found the answer for our mystery "UFO" sighting:

A quick succession of international space supply trucks will arrive on the International Space Station's loading docks early in 2011, dropping off more than 11 tons (10,000 kilograms) of food, computers, medical equipment and supplies, spare parts and experiment gear - not to mention the necessities of everyday human life in orbit.

Resupply from four corners of the Globe

Looked like the burners of a rocket to me when I seen the pics in the OP.. Turns out we are resupplying the ISS with a multitude of harbingers from all over the world.

Thanks for the beautiful pic's Human, very cool indeed, night time or early AM launch..

Well I'm not even going to pretend I know what that is.The colors coming from it looks beautiful,though.
Definitely looks like something flying.Saw people saying it's a missile.

I was reading "Not by Fire but by Ice" last night and got to the part about "earthquake lights". Apparently they are a geomagnetic phenomenon that occurs due to seismic activity. From the description, they reminded me of these lights.

Folks, You guys would go for catfish bait if I throw it out.
I guess I can present my BS case with pictures if that helps:

But if you do your own research, you might see something like this :www.airspacemag.com...

Why can't we just go through a simple process of analysis?
One where we don't jump to conclusions for no reason.
One where opinion means nothing, and facts mean everything.

Couldn't have been that strange. Nobody got abducted, attacked or killed.

Sorry to fill you in on your hypothesis, but your picture and the white bar that expands almost to the ground in siberia look nothing similiar, i am no expert, but yet again, it does not take a rocket scientist to see that this phenomenon in Siberia cannot be easily explained by a shuttle spaced mission of particle ice
Thanks op, crazy times we live in is it not

I'm sorry but why is it that when somebody sees a light in the sky it's immediately a flying creature from another reality/dimension/area of space? Is it better to throw rocks at the moon or to think that the moon is made from cheese? Or maybe its a "GOD" thing that is just beyond human understanding?
Please think about what things are around you and think about real world silly things like physics, aerodynamics, or for that matter common sense.
Here's a link from English Russia that has the same pictures. englishrussia.com... I know, maybe that sight is propagated by superior beings. Get a grip people.

Conicidental,dod fires massive rocket into space whithin a quick notification window,and with the eastern continent...well,no need to tell anybody ,just send it up,or am I imaginative or ignorant,or confused?

reply to post by Pauligirl


I agree its probably a rocket, but not the one you listed. These pics are taken at night. Your rocket was sent up in the early afternoon.

Ice crystals are playing a part in making the tail luminescent.

Verry interresting pictures indeed..

I don't think that this is a comet and it also don't looks like a missile launch..

Interestingly enough, in the 8-pages thus far, no one has used the word flying-creature 'cept you.

We are living in a time where strange things are occurring all around us and many, right in front of our eyes.
We've grown very suspicious, doubting, cynical and curious these days and have learned to question EVERYTHING.

I think most are agreeing this was probably a missile of some sort but the signature it left behind calls for further consideration.

Hey, if we didn't think like this once in a while, ATS would be out of business and have to file Chapter 11

Is your avatar Carl Sagan? If so, I get so creeped out looking at dead-people who still look alive. No offense to you of course
