Israeli Satellite Photos of Columbia Breakup

Good evening. My father in law has an e-mail (that I have not seen yet) that has images from an Israeli satellite. These images are a six image collection of the Columbia breakup. He is very technical and analytical in nature and has studied these and thinks these are legitimate. I followed the CAIB investigation and read parts of its findings document; but have not heard about these images before. I did a quick search on ATS but found nothing. I have not searched Google yet but I am curious what anyone else knows about these images. If anyone is interested in them I can e-mail them or post them on my website this week when I receive them. I won't have them until he e-mails them from his work account.

hopefully he emails them soon. i'm interested in this one.

I can't wait till you post the pictures, so we can get the reactions from other members.

I am going to be soooo pissed if it has a War of the Worlds saucer Photoshopped in

Sorry to say but you may be disappointed. Space.com reports that the photos are fake.

Damn, afraid of that. When I heard the descriptions ("windows blown out", "engines exploding") I thought it was a photoshop fraud. But I don't dismiss until I see. Besides, I doubt such high-quality images would be released as they reveal the power of the satellite.

Yeah, I’m still interested in the photos. I would like to see them out of curiosity. Are you still going to post them?

Or maybe thats what they want you to believe.

yeah, i still want to see those pictures!

I actually had the photos a while back - a friend e-mailed them to me - but have since deleted them because they where obviously fake, and it was sick that anyone made something like that up.

For those that have seen them, considering the shuttle is moving at such a phenomenal speed, it is rather unusual that it does not really change it's relative position to the Earth in the sequence - also I doubt any satellite could move to track an object travelling that fast.. - but I am not an expert so I could be wrong!!
Also the altitude of the shuttle appears to be so high, that together with the distribution of the wreckage caused by the large explosion in the images, that I would not have thought we would have seen the pattern of debris that occured.

Just my opinion anyway!!

Oh, now I remember those pics. If they're what I remember, they are actually scenes from the movie "Armageddon"

...helps to undermine the serious work of investigators, and fuels "the conspiracy nuts out there."

So, like... that's us, right?

Here are the pictures...

Yeah right, that's it!! I knew they looked familiar when I first saw them!!
That explains the 'streaks' in the photos going behind and infront of the shuttle!!

OMG, That is so bad!!!

They are definately not real. Totaly looks like something from some Hollywood movie. Just look at the size of tha fireball. Only in Hollywood do you have giant fiery explosions in space

Plus there is no way a satillite could take a pic like that. I'm sure that email was started by some kid wanting to play a sick joke.

If I saw those photos I would have known it was from the movie armaggedeon, I thought it was going to be low-def pictures.

that's exactly what i was expecting to... whoever made this email up should be from life.

Surely not, I wouldn't have expected space.com to call that 'photoshop slop'?

Those went around the week after the Shuttle died, even then I don't think anyone fell for them. (Or rather, anyone who did, deserved to )

Thanks for posting the link. I just looked at them and can not believe Fred (father in law) fell for these. I already sent two links debunking these and I plan to give him more hell.

Thanks guys/gals.
