They are the digital-age equivalent of crop circles — mysterious patterns appearing on the Australian Bureau of Meteorology’s national radar system without any explanation. UFOs, perhaps?
And the random images, described as red stars, rings of fire and white doughnuts, are sending online conspiracy Web sites into meltdown. The anomalies first began on January 15 when an “iced doughnut” appeared over Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.
Satellite imagery showed there was no cloud over the area at the time to explain the unusual phenomenon, but farmers’ online comments claimed it was “unusually hot” all day. It was followed by a bizarre red star over Broome on January 22 and a sinister spiral burst over Melbourne described by amateur radar buffs as the Ring Of Fire Fault.
The Bureau, which did not respond to repeated requests for comment, has acknowledged the anomalies on its popular Web site. It has posted a disclaimer above the national loop feed putting the images down to “occasional interference to the radar data.”
“If you notice any circular patterns or straight lines originating from the center of the radar location, this is due to occasional interference to the radar data. The Bureau is currently investigating ways to reduce these interferences.” the disclaimer said.
Looks like their radar needs calibration. ;-)
No brainer! These are the mother ships returning to pick up Obama, Pelosi and Reid. Their job on earth is done.
Don’t Panic!

You noticed that also? I worked with mobile USAF radars for 17 years, and we could do that with the old TPS-43E back in '84 just to drive the 'scope dopes' nuts trying to figure it out.

Can they take Farrakhan too?

"`You know,' said Arthur, `it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die from asphyxiation in deep space that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young.'
`Why, what did she tell you?'
`I don't know, I didn't listen.'"
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I remember as a kid seeing some made-for-TV movie of a guy who took pictures of the ground from way up in his plane, and started getting these red lines show up on the picture. Then shortly after there would be an earthquake at that location....
I would guess it is some kind of RFI (radio interference). Perhaps purposeful but who knows.
