This one’s for Adam Curry.
Alien conspiracy theorists are confident they’ve caught NASA in the act of covering up the fact we are not alone in the universe.
A video posted on YouTube yesterday showed how an image of Saturn’s moons Dione and Titan, taken by NASA’s Cassini orbiter, had been Photoshopped before being added to a Picture of the Day website. In the video, “DominatorPS3″ turned up the brightness levels on the photo to show that a “huge” object can be seen behind the smaller moon, Dione. Clearly visible are brush strokes that show how the rainbow aura of the object has been blacked out.
“More solid proof of NASA/ government coverups,” DominatorPS3 said. “… and this is recent. You can do this yourself!!”
[...]
The person responsible for the manipulation, Emily Lakdawalla, told a forum of excitable theorists that she made the changes because of the way Cassini takes photos.
[...]
She explained the process further at Planetary.org but it still wasn’t enough for the alien hunters, particularly DominatorPS3.
Here’s a new video made this afternoon by DominatorPS3 about the controversy. BTW, the original video that started this is no longer available because, he claims, he was forced to take it down, or something.
All will be revealed on October 13th. Or October 14th if you live in Alabama.
Three more days. Four in Mobile.

The amount of potential threats that we do know about is extensive: asteroids hitting us, large volcanoes erupting, nuclear meltdown, getting hit by a car, global epidemics of aids, swine flu, bird flu, drug resistant TB, MSRA not to mention all the possible harm that can be caused by the religious, the non-religious, liberals, conservatives, libertarians and people who like tea. We all manage to go about our daily lives with this threat. What is one more?
If a giant space ship flew over the planet at best the UN would pass some sort of non-binding agreement that in the event of a extra-terrestrial member nations may share intelligence.
Too much lens flare?
NASA regrets hiring J.J. Abrams to direct all its space-probe videos.
I don’t think NASA is trying to hide anything with this. To me, it looked like a really bad image correction done in Photoshop. Terrible, even, in the professional work force. I took a look at the three images put together to make the final picture, and I believe the image processor’s testimony. At the most, the person responsible for the image should be criticized and reprimanded badly. It’s incredible shitty work, especially with the artifacting.
Bigfoot kidnapped by baby and the aliens anal probed me while I was drunk…what a bunch of idiots! NASA can’t “hide” aliens you morons. They’re just a small government agency. If aliens exist they can just come down and land in Vancouver Canada, Paris France, Brazil, Italy, Norway, Chad, India, etc. We, and especially NASA can’t stop them. They don’t land and say “howdy” because they don’t exist. Life on other planets? Sure. Intelligent? Likely. Here in space ships? Nearly infinitely improbable. The odds of 2 intelligent lifeforms within a few thousands years of technology (ie. “space ships”) passing each other is silly. They’d likely be hundreds of millions or a billion years or so in front or behind us.
#3 Who you callin’ filthy? I bathed last week!
Exactly once for every revolution of the earth around the sun, an alien craft seems to come out of nowhere and streaks through the night sky at incredible speed, darting from house to house, evading all cameras that might record the photographic evidence that an alien being does exist. This life form is quite recognizable for its little round belly that shakes like a bowl full of jelly, plus it seems to always be clad in a red suit.
I believe!
When ET shows up and kicks the bob tailed moneys out of what is about to become ETs banana patch I think the bob tailed monkeys will notice the fact.
So, based upon the rub out, the UFO would be say, between 1000-5000 miles long, given that they rubbed out the size of a moon. Humm, could be…
