Lol. Seriously though, that's exactly what it looks like. Awesome capture, probably one of the best I've ever seen.
Well it does look like some kind of ship. I am watching this thread since this is a topic that fascinates me but i can't really add anything intelligent to.
Yes, darn good telescope shot.....I have it on the 29th...on the sdcard and on my other laptop......right in Virgo....one can tell it's shape is a
match, but it's 2x and shaking except for one little part. I'll get another look with my tripod...usually the thermal doesn't see anything so
definite, except a bat within 200 meters
I'll post this video if I can't find that object again......shape is a match......in the constellation Virgo
It wasn't visible by eye.....I didn't bother with the gen 3 starlight PVS14 but I will next time...I see tr3 b's moving with it, I'll get serious about this since Virgo is all over YouTube these days

How far out is this thing? Has anyone done the math yet?
I certainly can't. My brain quit doing math like that, well, a long time ago. Though not in a galaxy far, far away.

''Twas big in my scope, I figure 65,000' MSL usually when they're moving, this one was coasting to a stop or stationary....I was thinking of the prophecy of the dragon waiting to devour the child that Virgo is travailing in Rev12, to tell the truth.

Yes, I just tried to upload and see my new screwed up avatar pic, the tail of some random 777

It's weird, but the lack of an explanation is making this a fascinating thread!
My object has the same shape as the op's next to the last shot.....next the last vid.....a reply to: carewemust

Zarniwoop has the night sky on his post page one.....my object was one inch or halfway up... from the S in Corvus....making a triangle with Jupiter
and Spica
Ya can't see stars with that thermal viewer.....but that's where I got the video on my mini DVR seeing through the Armasight, someone could stabilize I suppose....but it's not bad for handheld in that one stable moment.
It's actually watchable for thirty or more seconds in two places on the vid....I'll figure a way to upload it because ''tis a match

With cutting edge technology now in the hands of super-smart everyday citizens, the "powers" of the world will have to come clean with what they know. Sooner, rather than later.
It is indeed an occultation of the star Gamma Virginis (Porrima). How do I know? Stellarium will show you
exactly what you see in the sky, if you specify your location. I don't know exactly where you live, so I just picked somewhere in the middle of
USA.
Here's the resulting screenshot:
So yeah, defiinitely get Stellarium. It's free and very helpful.

That looks rather round to me.
On camera, zoomed-in out-of-focus objects can have strange shapes that don't have anything to do with their real shape.

I watched this in eager anticipation and wondered why someone mistakes a star for a UFO. The close ups look triangular due to minuscule movement that
is amplified the further away something is.
The reason I don't think it's a spaceship is that
a) it flickers
b) it is stationary
That it seemingly disappears can be due to clouds, happens all the time.
I want there to be a spaceship but before I go head first into 'peeing myself with excitement mode' I feel compelled to find more likely explanations first and if they make easy sense, I have to go with the likely explanation.
