Huge Spacecraft Recorded near ISS?

reply to post by CastleMadeOfSand


to be honest, using levels in photoshop accomplishes nothing as well. It is as bad as filters. Sure on a good quality image you can up the exposure slightly to see extra detail, but really aside from that you cant slide it around and claim the resulting image is a ufo based on what you see. I work daily in photoshop. All it does is manipulate the picture

It's a reflection because I say so.

It could also be an odd view of the edge of one or two of the solar panels.

From the same uploader,

www.youtube.com... different field of view,

and here,

No lens flare.... the solid object exist.

You use the same filter technique on anything, including a reflection it will give the same results. I'm wondering if you understand the software you're using?

My first thought is why do you call it "huge" not knowing how far it is from the camera. Could be large, could be tiny, no way for you to tell from that image.

My guess would be a reflection due to angle of incidence and the false impression it's floating free because it's attachment to the ISS is hidden in shadow. Could be inside or outside the craft. From the shape I'd think the parabolic dish on an antenna? There seems to be a number of such antenna's on the ISS.

I wouldn't exactly call myself a "non UFOer", in fact I am one that strongly believes that alien life exists all throughout the universe, and earth has been visited in the past and most likely is currently being visited by some form of ET life. With that said, I think that is a lens flare. It doesn't move erratically, pulsate lights, or do anything that makes it out to be a UFO.

But with a little bit of imagination, and the preconceived notion that what we're looking at is potentially a "huge spacecraft", people may see that as a huge UFO. That's just some sort of camera artifact.

It looks like a space turd with lights on it.
Certainly doesn't look like lens flare to me, however I am not an expert.

what I find more interesting isn't the debate about whether something is actually there or not but if you look in the blown up image of it you can see another object to the upper right of it.

Doesn't that look similar to the shuttle or the x37b?

I could be wrong but it certainly resembles a shuttle to me and if it is but that other object ISN"T there then what is the shuttle doing there.

I agree there's no way of telling size Tupac, but I don't think it's a lens flare, the image doesn't suddenly appear and the camera is static, not to say that means it won't be affected by light changes and garner a flare from some angle, just that there is a change of lighting that only makes the 'object' more visible. It's either a reflection on a window from something inside, or something belonging to the ISS on the outside.

Chinese lantern.

How can anyone not know?

no. That just looks like a reflection.

It's pretty obvious when it's a reflection. It just sort of blurs into the background.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but to me it looks like the tip of one of the solar panels that's catching some light, with the rest of it in shadow. I'll have to investigate further when I have more time.

It's quite obviously a reflection, why even bother posting this garbage in the first place, anyone who thinks this is a UFO is either dillusional or just plain dumb. Nothing to see here, can't believe im even wasting my time posting on this.

Bet it's the blinking star that everyone has been seeing.

Damn, I must be at least one of those.

It is all so clear now.

I don't genuinely think you believe it's a "Huge Spacecraft Recorded near ISS?", however if you do it might be worthwhile putting the crack pipe down and going outside to get some fresh air.

To the people that say it moves exactly with the ISS.

Skip through the video, you can actually see the object change position ever so slightly.

Watch it propperly before you say stuff like that and dismiss it as a smudge or whatever...

It's a reflection from inside the SS, as the sun moves into view the objects stay the same brightness, even brighten up a little bit. If they were separate from the SS, and in space, then the sun would be behind them and they wouldn't be lit up like that.

Yes, I said that a few posts back, and there is some evidence for that from more video by the same uploader as the first video, it could even be two panel edges if you look at the two links I posted, nothing conclusive though. Give the first video 20 seconds or so in, and there are two similar 'dot's' noticeable on the edge of the solar panel just as there in the OP's video.

And, I just prompted you to waste your time posting again!

Seriously though, I posted with sarcasm but I am genuinely not sure if that is a reflection/lens flare or whatever... It seems like the easiest explanation but I don't know.
