A thermal magnifies a spinning polar synchronous NOAA weather satellite lit by sunlight at dusk over the USA, and a tired technician in New Zealand fires the first flame bait on a blog.

I can see some shadows…
Can anyone view with higher contrast and gamma..I think you will see a few things.

Father says:

I agree with #1.

It is several satellites, one spinning, and the others moving due to thermal distortion of the light. I would have guessed Geo satellites parked in various slots, or maybe the Grace satellite pair.

Walked out of the local city admin. building late one night and saw a clear rectangular plastic bag with a flashing light inside floating along just above the top of the power lines. The light source could not have weighed much because the bag wasn’t all that big. Four feet?

I didn’t report it and it never made the local news.

Chill out froods! Anyone with half a brain in their heads would know that it’s just two Greys drag racing out on the hyperspace bypass with a Nordic Patrol Car in hot pursuit.

Gowannn… a bunch of satellites glowing and flashing out in synchronous orbit? 24K miles away?

(maybe the flashing one is the crippled “zombie-sat” and some of its neighbors are glowing white hot in sympathy).

Why are they doing that? What does it mean? Don’t ask…the Great Minds from The Galaxy Morbulus work in strange ways.

(and in their Wisdom they always know to appear _only_ before amateurs with low-grade recording equipment.)
