To get visible blue shift, that something has to be moving a significant fraction of the speed of light. So, it means SOMETHING is moving towards us VERY FREAKING FAST unless these guys are just photoshopping artifacts into the picture. If it is aimed at us, we better hope it's a ship. Otherwise, it would crack the planet like an egg hit by a 9mm round...

I like to see more images. I think we are seeing artifacts from extreme magnification, giving the object straight lines where none may exist. Asteroid(s) is the ‘occam’ answer right now.

Tried to look at the individual shots, but the first one didn’t want to load. I’ll try again later.

If the object is traveling that fast then it must be propelled by some means.
And if that's the case it must have brakes /grin

“Uh oh...Doppler effect.

When the light source is moving toward the listener (v is negative), then fL is greater than fS. In the visible light spectrum, this causes a shift toward the high-frequency end of the light spectrum. For some reason, violet got the short end of the stick and such frequency shift is actually called a blue shift

Blue is not good, it means SOMETHING is moving towards us unless these guys are just photoshopping artifacts into the picture.”

Geeze, you guys are a real buzz-kill. ROFL about blue phallic symbol in space until I read your posts...Geeze. I’m just going to bed now. Harshed my buzz bigtime. ; )
