I am not going to insult you. You as I, are allowed to use this board as you wish.

You know what I mean. Evidence is one thing, ridicule is another.

Well, YEAH! Google Earth/Moon/Mars/Sky/Omicron Persii 8 are entirely created using image manipulation. Photos that are taken at different times (in the case of Google Sky, decades apart) get stitched together to form an approximation of the scene.

It makes a useful tool, but you must recognize its limitations:

- It is not real-time. I was amused that you heard about about a moving object and went to a Google scene to see it. That's like hearing about a parade and going to Google Earth to see it. In at least one recent, similar thread, the sky view image was produced from a plate photographed in 1977.

- Image anomalies are unavoidable. Each of the above products are produced in similar ways - they take two-dimensional photos and stitch them together to show a spherical object. All kinds of errors creep in. Sometimes two adjacent images are taken at different times (example), sometimes they are taken from different angles (example), and sometimes you get a bug in the scanner (link). In the case of the OP, the coordinates are close to the south celestial pole. Anyone familiar with maps knows that on 2D maps of spherical objects, distortion gets heaviest at the poles. There are different ways of dealing with this, but they all have their ideosyncracies.

As such, they should be considered useful, but not necessarily "accurate".

After 5 posts ripping Alex apart for talking to aliens in his head, you obviously don't believe it's possible and what, it makes you angry?

A lot of things from the past were impossible, but are now common knowledge - no need to talk about taking this guy's kids away because he has a different understanding of life.

It's a ship full of Chupacabras, of course! See how clear the pictures are? With that level of detail, it couldn't possibly be pixelation of one or two stars, or a photographic artifact caused by zooming in too much!
