A solar flare-up passed over it and revealed it. But that does not explain the ship by Saturn.

Ah, the infamous Philadelphia Experiment. A hoax. The U.S. Navy did experiment with degaussing technology, to see if a ship's metal hull could be shielded from detection by magnetic mines, that's the most likely source of that story. As for the giant spaceships heading our way, they're almost certainly just image defects.

Ah Dex, there is nothing like a good debunking to take all the fun out of life. Party Pooper!
Some time ago I was building a three and a half inch refractor telescope for viewing, and to take pictures of, the planets. One of the telescope stores in Vancouver were selling the objective doublets for around a hundred dollars. I had a piece of Aluminium pipe that
would take the objective cell and a focuser I had lying around. To make a long story shorter there was a tiny flaw in one of the elements of the doublet that gave me headaches for quite a while. The flaw was small enough so I couldn't see it by just looking at the lense but
this was an f-14 telescope that was capable of fairly healthy magnification that brought out the error. One day I was looking at some sun spots and I found a tiny sun spot that moved with the telescope.
Digital photography give some weird effects sometimes...
Two photos taken seconds apart with just a change in the zoom.....
Then at the same geogaphic location ....a few days later with a digital video cam...
If you don't happen to like the music fast forward to 1:18 to 1:38 something I could see in the lcd screen but not between me and the stage....there was a second one right after the first that showed up on the lcd screen but not in the finished product...there has to be a good scientific explanation....?????????

Who in their right mind would fast forward through such virtuoso bluegrass pickin' and fiddlin' as that?
I would guess the oddities are just tiny fluffy seeds of some sort drifting by very close to the lens. Might not be seeds, might be a fragment of feather, a dust mote, a tiny insect, hard to say when they're so far from the camera's focal point, might even be something inside the camera drifting across the sensor. There are all kinds of possibilities that don't involve anything weird.I think it's more fun to know what's really going on.

I understand that there are lots of things that can cause that "phenomenon"....
The reason I say it's weird, is because in all my years of filming, it has happened to me with different digital cameras ...the first time with a Sony Mavica with floppy disks in '98, then with two other digital cameras over the years...but...always in the same geographic location..River Valley Ontario.
I (half) jokinly tell people that it's because the place is an old Indian burial ground:smile:

I saw a documentary a while back, sort of a "skeptics look at supernatural phenomenon" and they did a piece on these "dancing lights", turns out it was dust particles. Can't remember the exact explanation, something about the way the light hits it and the aperture of the lens, makes it enlarged in the photo. Don't know if this is the same thing, but it looks kind of similar. Can't remember the name of the documentary though.
Now that's interesting in itself, maybe there are a lot of plants in the area that release seeds or pollen or something at that time of year. Is it raining lightly in the first snapshot? I've seen similar effects from a flash in light rain that disappear when I zoom in on the scene.
Actually, after it had happened a couple of times, I started researching the subject, and came to similar conclusions...It has always happened around the long weekend at the beginning of August, when certain plants are pollinating, and there is a set of rapids or small falls about a hundred feet east of where that happens and the wind comes from that direction when it happens....
But I also like the idea of the Indian burial ground:lol:
United States Naval Research Laboratory (NRL).
Head NRL group scientist Russ Howard and lead ground systems engineer Nathan Rich say the mysterious object is in fact Mercury itself. And what we're seeing in the footage is the equivalent of Mercury's wake, "where the planet was on the previous day," as it travels through the solar system on its natural gravitational path:

And what we're seeing in the footage is the equivalent of Mercury's wake, "where the planet was on the previous day," as it travels through the solar system on its natural gravitational path:
To make the relatively faint glow of a coronal mass ejection stand out against the bright glare of space—caused by interplanetary dust and the stellar/galactic background—the NRL scientists must remove as much background light as possible. They explained that they determine what light is background light, and thus can be subtracted out, by calculating the average amount of light that entered each camera pixel on the day of the CME event and on the previous day. Light appearing in the pixels on both days is considered to be background light and is removed from the footage of the CME. The remaining light is then enhanced.
The analysts say the practice works even better when applied to far-off objects such as stars, which don't move much relative to the sun. But for moving objects, especially planets, the process is a little more complicated. And making matters even trickier is Mercury's staus as the closest planet to the sun.

Hay! Who is calling who a weirdo?
Did you ever see The Fisher King? Those are the little floating people.
Humans might not have cloaking technology but it doesn't mean that other advanced civilizations don't.
Looks to me like a Russian Heavy lift chopper
Video: UFO filmed hovering over Russian protesters
Some 25,000 pro-democracy protesters in Moscow's Bolotnaya Square had an unexpected participant in their demonstrations on Saturday when a UFO was spotted hovering above the crowd.
Here is a somewhat blurry video capture of the scene, taken by a person in the crowd:
Several demonstrators in the crowd espied the hovering object, with reflecting blue and red lights. Descriptions of the object--which observers say was definitely not a helicopter--included "five extended tendrils or pylons emanating from the body of the vehicle."
