[Clodioz]

Ok these are some pictures I found in a chilean forum. They're from a nasa FTP webpage. They does not looks like fake :S

These are pictures from STS 088, and where removed from the NASA server after people have copied them.

I'm guessing space-junk.

(Although, "I want to believe")

[Liffey]

The first pic is pretty creepy though.

"UFO Pictures NASA Doesn't Want You To See !" doesn't really do much to bolster any inkling of belief I may have had though.

[Kangum]

The biggiest problem I have with this is it assumes Nasa didnt "notice" what they had. Like nobody looks at the pictures before they are uploaded to a public server. There is no way those pictures would have made it to thier server without them knowing. It just wouldnt happen.

my guess is its a PR stunt to promote a website.

There are more than a million images on that site, I don't think in none having the time to look at all of them :S, actually, the photos are from '97-'98

Us skeptics can no longer live in denial. Now I'm a true believer. I can't believe Nasa has denied the existence of satellites for so long.

[Meloncov]

While I don't doubt that it's a fairly typical satellite, I'm curious exactly what it is. It looks rather cool.

[HunterKiller_]

That last one looks rather.... 'structured'...
Hmmmmmm!

[kab]

The last one looks pretty "airplane"...

Looking over the pictures it seems to be something relatively flat and fairly bent up - I'm guessing space junk as well. If it's falling in to the atmosphere that would also explain the whitish 'jet' developing behind it.

[VulgarDragon]

I think it's a chunk of frozen blue water ejected from the shuttle. Their porta potty was getting full.

p.s. Don't blame Buzz...Neil got all the attention so what could he do?

Former astronaut speaks of aliens

There was a guy that posted some UFO pic here years ago. They were actually interesting but apparently there was concern with his photography method. Hell, I'm gonna have to dig that up now. Real or not they were neat looking.

EDIT: Found it. John Lenard Walson. When these came out he was real hush hush as to how he got the images, claiming only that through modifying some basic equipment was he able to get these shots of large ships orbiting earth along with normal things like the ISS. Seems he's been debunked since then, but I have to admit they look cool. Maybe he has a future in concept art

There's a lot of junk up there (or down there, depending on your perspective) - probably millions of individual pieces. When you consider that particular object could be only a few cm in size you realise that the odds against it being anything "unusual" are vast.

[lewisaurus]

Hmmmm

[guggemmaneuver]

don't they have a 16 bit camera? 8 bits doesn't really cut it, even hi-res, for telling what the heck is going on in these shots. maybe i'm missing something...

[CGMonkey]

Yes, yes.. This is clearly an UFO -- who can deny it? Unidentified Flying Object (however, it does NOT fly, technically it floats, Unidentified Floating Object in this case).

When seeing stuff like this I always tend to think in terms of 'what is the most simple and straightforward explanation?' and this one does not come into mind:

"The government instance NASA, which screens just about every photo it releases and even does photoshop work (colors etc), accidently releases photos of alien structures/crafts which seems to hover above earth's surface"

I'd trade that explanation for:

"Spacejunk"

WOA O_O

[Saturns Gate]

Pretty interesting, hoax or not.

I thought I would zoom up the images and brighten them a little while trying to figure a couple of them out some more. the bottom right image if you look hard enough kind of looks like it has a circular back end to it? Kinda hard to see due to the noise but it seems to have that pattern.

[egerie]

Dradis contact!

[squidmonk3j]

Yeah, you -know- it has to be truly alien if it looks like it could be man-made.

Anthropocentric "ufology" is such an awesome self-contradiction.

[ArtZealot]

I've seen so many damn blurred UFO and bigfoot pictures in my day, i've gone from wanting to believe to a pretty big sceptic. Until i see a picture like the one below, i am not believing a blurred photo where my imagination has to fill in the details for a second. (below picture from the upcoming movie District 9)

If someone told me that the high point of my carrear did not happen I'd punch him out too.

[Kvick]

when the sky is clear at night sometimes you can see satellites floating through the sky if you look for them

and on the topic of aliens, I believe there are aliens, I don't believe those are pics of aliens

I found this interesting, its true that you can see satellites in the night sky sometimes, but this has to be something else.
You can clearly see two of them "chasing" each other and moving in different directions. Also at that height is must be extremely fast.

NO, it's Bart Sibrel who is the coward, liar and a thief!

I think Raoul Douke was just being saracastic man...

Speaking of watching the skies, tonight is the second day of the perseids peak if you're looking to make a few wishes.
