"Photos show odd images near shuttle David Perlman, Chronicle Science Editor Sunday, February 2, 2003 A San Francisco amateur astronomer who photographs the space shuttles whenever their orbits carry them over the Bay Area has captured five strange and provocative images of the shuttle Columbia just as it was re-entering the Earth's atmosphere before dawn Saturday. The pictures, taken with a Nikon-880 digital camera on a tripod, reveal what appear to be bright electrical phenomena flashing around the track of the shuttle's passage, but the photographer, who asked not to be identified, will not make them public immediately. "They clearly record an electrical discharge like a lightning bolt flashing past, and I was snapping the pictures almost exactly . . . when the Columbia may have begun breaking up during re-entry," he said. The photographer invited The Chronicle to view the photos on his computer screen Saturday night, and they are indeed puzzling. They show a bright scraggly flash of orange light, tinged with pale purple, and shaped somewhat like a deformed L. The flash appears to cross the Columbia's dim contrail, and at that precise point, the contrail abruptly brightens and appears thicker and somewhat twisted as if it were wobbling. "I couldn't see the discharge with own eyes, but it showed up clear and bright on the film when I developed it," the photographer said. "But I'm not going to speculate about what it might be." Only image I could find: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2003/02/02/MN221641.DTL Another article about it: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2003/02/05/MN192153.DTL And this is a video from Fox News clearly showing what really looks like a UFO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2n_NBSaItc&watch_response Unrelated video and you can see at about 2 minutes a street light so there's background confirmation and whatever it is it has the same shape as the object in the Fox News video I attached above: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVCzZm1Kn70
@xmichelly But I just found all this yesterday.. I'm into this stuff but I'm not a hardcore researcher that's at all updated but than again I don't really feel like I need to cause I don't need any convincing that these unidentified crafts that defy the known laws of physics exist. Seeing is believing. @Dohh_boy Me too.. Those people at Fox news really have a sense of humor.. And the British government, if I recall correctly, recently decided to declassify 50 years worth of UFO documents. Silly british government. And I heard they didn't even black out any of the information unlike the US governments Project Blue Book declassification. Funny US government, huh? Why would they have to black out a large amount of the data pertaining to UFO cases if it's all fake UFO stuff? And the object recorded hoverning near a Concord aircraft in this video is so fake. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGH6q9x8078&feature=related Silly people, huh? Noway could life exist in the universe aside from earth. Even though as technology gets more and more advanced and we find more and more earth like planets in just our own galaxy alone doesn't mean there's a chance life could exist anywhere else. And even if life existed elsewhere they absolutely cannot be intelligent enough to space travel. But even if they are they wouldn't come to earth because....um.... Anyway, so what if historical art works shows paintings of objects in the sky that look like UFO's reported today? It's just silly because we know everything about everything...
