Another ISS (STS-133) picture anomaly...

Hey fellow investigators!

Just thought I would post this pic (from STS-133, 26 feb 2011), and see what you all think about it. For me, i'm not quite sure, could be an artefact, but a strange one at that. Take a peek, click image to enlarge. (it's green and at 9 o'clock btw)





Thoughts?

Could be a reflection or something like that?!

First I wasn't sure where to look,but I found it. Dunno... Looks like a reflection of something. Doesn't look solid.

If the camera is behind glass then I'd call it a reflection off something inside.

Nice photo!

But there's no UFO, just a reflection/blur.

Yeah you are probably right, has some real definition to it though, so thought it odd.

Here's an enhanced picture of it:

Yeah, that's pretty interesting to say the least. I do see other "blurs" in the picture, so I'm wondering if some of the distortion/blurriness in the object is due to the picture being taken with motion. I wonder what the object looked like in focus?

TWBU

It's the inanimate carbon rod!



I actually don't know. I'd say reflection since it doesn't really look like a solid object.

I didn't see anything, but then again maybe I was distracted by the profusion of CANADA graffiti all over the place.
Insecure much?

Interesting article in a Russian newspaper today on UFOs near the ISS -- seems like a general discussion and recap, I'll look at it more closely this evening.

kp.ru...

It references the work of ‘virtual archeologist’ Joseph P. Skipper who has found artifacts in photos from other planets. One ISS UFO is supposedly from Sep 10, 2000, just before the Atlantis docking. Seems there’s a repeated field of stars that he interprets as a forgery to hide the existence of something else – I can’t figure it out.

Beautiful picture

The camera is inside the shuttle. It's a reflection on the window from inside. Not uncommon.

So where is the Aliens at?

It almost looks like some kind of logo, perhaps from a piece of equipment aboard the station.
