have we done this one yet? Nasa picture-something moving in the cloud

I did a little seearch,and couldn't find this posted already,sorry it if has been....

www.ecoenquirer.com...
on that page there,is a picture taken by a nasa satellite. It seems to show something moving through the clouds,leaving a pattern behind it. Looks like a circular object at the end of it.

anyone seen this before?

Couple of similar cloud formations I found. I have no idea how these form but it is possible that this is a naturally occuring phenomona. Interesting.

That second one,is it me or is there like,a massive disc there aswell?

I believe the disc shapes in both are actually islands.

Could be,but then I'd presume that there're lots of pictures like this around? I suppose knowing the name of the anomoly would help search for pictures.

Mikesingh (who else?) covered this one one on 2007

in that thread greatlakes pointed out that the disclaimer of that site reads:

We have some experts in meteorology/clodwatchers so i guess that soon we'll get a trained opinion about this odd phenomenon.
These are all amazing images, thanks for sharing

didn't see that disclaimer

maybe it's a spoof site deliberatly tring to discredit the pics (the plot thickens )

But the phenomenon is genuine, and actually amazing
I've sent a u2u to one of our experts: he's online now.
I hope to hear his opinion ASAP.

Personally i wouldnt trust that site. Here it tells and shows a sat pictures of USAF flying around Katrina to whip it into a frenzy and therefore blaming bush for the devastation caused by Katrina

Bush i blame for a lot of things but playing god is not one of them although he may believe he is

Why on earth would they fly jets around Katrina.. lol.. they just need to fire up their HAARP and their TESLA things and woooopa there is a nice earthquake, Tornado, storm you name it they make it...

Exactly!!

Its not just the story gits the picture attached that is laughable. There are some "Way out there" pictures and stories on that site

A true conspiracy theorist can see a CT in anything


(I was joking,I see that it's a parody site,and this seems to be one of them funky natural things)

I post some enhancements: the first one is an enlargement of the image in the OP, the second one is a detail of the image from WikiPedia, which caption reads:

NASA satellite image (MODIS imager on board the Terra satellite) of a wave cloud forming off of Amsterdam Island in the far southern Indian Ocean. Image taken on December 19, 2005.

that picture looks fake. the ufo looks like an island or a coffee bean.

Yes they are. What the picture shows is a fairly rare phenomena known as a cloud wake.

Good explanation here:

earthobservatory.nasa.gov...


I can understand why someone might thing it's caused by an object moving through the cloud, rather than the cloud moving against a fixed object, though

Yeah,easy mistake-a to make-a


it's why i don't feel like a plank

so it seems so a natural phenomena
always go to the root to understand not just memorize
