UFO

#1

Post by Baurice »

On the evenings of January 19th/20th, I hunted in vain for meteors but I captured 5 UFOs, of which this was the brightest.

Geez, "they" must like hanging out in your neighborhood. :think:

I visually caught a pale yellow second mag point source near the bowl of the Big Dipper again the other morning. No motion, just slowly faded out like an orange one I saw awhile ago. I'm thinking it's some line of sight / projection effect with satellites or boosters.

No Zeta Reticulans? Let us know if you get to see a star map with the sun on it...

:popcorn:

Seriously though thanks for sharing but I am sure there is some more mundane explanation.

I had an alien abduction once.
After a few hours I let him go, he couldn't seem to help me with my goto mount.

One possible explanation someone has mentioned is cosmic rays. I thought they came in broken straight lines but I may be wrong.

I don't think they are LGM.
