Weapons in Space?

Last edited by 91ken : 04-02-2008 at 04:08 AM. Reason: spelling
A guy named John Walson has been taking pictures of objects in space, presumably in earth orbit, using his backyard telescope.
Here is a pic of the International Space Station:




But what is this?



and this?


There are many others. Here is his 10-part series, Space Machines. I haven't looked at all ten parts, just the first couple. Walson says The Black Helicopters have been paying him visits ever since he started publicizing his pictures. He took pictures of the helicopters hovering over his backyard, as shown in part 1 of the series.
It's intriguing stuff. I think some of these might be satellites or various space junk, but they are very large objects and many of them have definite aerodynamic shapes.

Naw, looks more like a Klingon D7.

Re: Weapons in Space?

Gotta wave the on this guy Walson. I would say "good April Fool's joke", but apparently this guy has been at it awhile.
Check this image:



Damn, this looks a hell of a lot like a dead bug. Notice the legs folded up underneath it?
Plus, none of the images this guy has produced is clear. I wonder what other household objects he's taking pics of, and trying to sell to the public as "UFOs"?

How clear could they be, using a non-professional telescope? Come to think of it, how clear could they be using a professional telescope, considering the earth's atmosphere?
As a comparison, have you ever seen any pics of the ISS taken from earth, other than the one above?

I bet it's the UFO the Heaven's Gate cult beamed up to!
By the way, I heard that they found a couple of their corpses a few weeks ago (hard to believe after all this time, right?).
They were found in the bathroom, behind the Comet...

Nope. And I haven't bothered to look, either.

Maybe it is those folks from SPACE BALLS. Maybe that giant vacuum needs a new bag and just exploded.
