UFO cloud wakes seen by NASA satellite

(Washington, D.C.) In a startling image collected by a NASA environmental satellite over two years ago, evidence of huge objects flying through the atmosphere can been seen in the wakes they produced in a low cloud layer.

The image shows evidence of several unidentified objects of varying sizes, all flying in formation, at a very low altitude over the Indian Ocean. The area is too remote to be covered by radar.

ecoEnquirer asked famed image analysis expert William B. Davis his opinion of the image. "This is truly amazing", said Mr. Davis, between long drags on his trademark cigarette. "I've drawn these black lines (see image, above) where I think the UFO's are located, based upon the cloud wakes they produced. It looks like several smaller craft and one large lead craft are all escorting a huge Mother ship of some sort. The Mother ship looks to be at least several miles in diameter."

Based upon the wakes produced in the clouds, Mr. Davis said the flying objects were travelling at a very great speed -- about 4,000 to 6,000 miles per hour. Their great size is sure to challenge generally accepted size ranges for UFOs, which are usually approximately the size of human-piloted aircraft.

"Spaceships of this size would be difficult to hide from humans, which is likely the reason why they are flying in such a remote region", explained Davis. "Kind of reminds you of that movie, 'Independence Day', doesn't it?"

ecoEnquirer contacted NASA for comment, but a public affairs officer cited a policy that NASA does not comment on either UFOs, or on theories that the Moon landings were a hoax.

LMAO, if the pic is even real. it'a of an object breaking a 2 dimensional plan, not UFO's ripping through our atmosphere!

I think that I have seen this picture before. The Last time I saw it they described it as islands with mountains on them breaking the cloud cover that was passing by.

My kid made a salt-dough sculpture that looks just like that...Maybe she's an alien plant. 0.0

Scale indicator? How about this with a bit more weight and a leader?

Did you mention the Starship Enterprise?

The Big Splash: A Scientific Discovery That Revolutionizes the Way We View the Origin of Life, the Water We Drink, the Death of the Dinosaurs, the Creation of the Oceans, the Nature of the Cosmos, and the Very Future of the Earth Itself by Louis A. Frank with Patrick Huyghe

Sigwarth and I analyzed over 10,000 images and learned a good deal about the black spots in the process. Our interpretation of the events continued to involve meteor impacts into Earth's upper atmosphere.By counting the spots in our images we were able to estimate the rate at which these objects appeared. This was the simplest measurement to do. We saw ten holes per minute on the daylight side of Earth. So we doubled that figure to obtain the rate of these objects over the entire face of Earth. There had to be about twenty such objects entering the atmosphere every minute. That was an alarming number of objects.

not UFOs, IMHO.

LOL...

those are von Karman waves, caused by various land masses interacting with cloud cover during earth rotation.

Note: this topic is from 3/22/2007. Looks like incoming space debris. Thanks djf.

Thanks for finally identifying what this was. Obvious cloud/surface interaction much like mountain waves.

From the NASA page:

“In the wake of the Crozet Islands in the southern Indian Ocean, disrupted air masses have formed patterns in the clouds. This pattern is similar to that seen when eddies form in water running over a pebble on an otherwise smooth surface for much the same reason. In this case, air that had been flowing smoothly over the ocean’s surface is disrupted by the islands, and the clouds, controlled by air currents, have assumed the shape of the disrupted air. Two distinct patterns have formed in the clouds. In the west, left, the clouds have taken a “V”-shaped pattern called ship-wave-shaped wave clouds. To the east, center and right, cloud vortices swirl delicately behind the last of the islands.”

Google map Crozet Islands and see the last two islands in the chain to the east.

Well. IBD.
