First, why are military "highly processed to enhance detail, then cropped and rescaled" pictures considered more reliable as a source? They even tell you, on the pic. It seems to me they are used in manipulating images for their own agenda.
------------
Second point is about this news that it's breaking up. If it is a spaceship, it may have parts detaching for different purposes, like exploration, setting up camp, mining, etc.
And it could be slow approaching so "they" have the time to assimilate the basics of our cultures and different languages before getting here. It could help in future relations... Of you course, you all understand I have no pics to support these ideas.

Actually, the slow approach is easily explained... Anyone who's ready any Arthur C Clarke or pretty much any book containing interstellar lightspeed travel would know that it takes an Incredible amount of distance to slow down from near lightspeed... If they were traveling 90% lightspeed and started slowing down when they got to the asteroid belt or mars orbit, they would end up probably at least halfway out the other side of our solar system if not all the way out.
Plus, they are supposedly trying to look like a comet remember? And I thought we had already established long ago that it was obviously having tons of fighters or scoutships or harvesters for collecting humans, and that's why it is "breaking up". This is for those of us who actually believe it could be a spaceship of course...
I'm not sure what I believe, but does it really matter? Whether or not I believe a comet could be a spaceship should have no bearing on my life here on earth at all. It doesn't make me a bad person to believe that something MAY be possible... Like someone else said, Columbus believed something crazy. So did Einstein and Galileo. The fact is, eventually one of these crazy ideas turns out to be right. So we should not ridicule these people. We should merely respect their right to have an opinion and if we disagree, do so respectfully, without sarcasm and stuff like that. Like another person said, its a good thing that we are all different. Imagine how many discoveries never would have been made if there wasn't that one crazy person who wouldn't give up until they found something. It may not even be what they were originally trying to prove, or invent, or discover. It could be something they discovered or invented by accident! It's happened so many times throughout history, but, accident or no accident, we still must be thankful for these so-called "crazy" people! And people with imaginations.
Something new cannot be brought into the world, purposely, until it has been imagined first!And you might have to imagine a whole bunch of crazy things before you can envision something truly astounding which will have enormous implications for mankind forever! So, I say dream on! Dream on, dreamers both young and old! And most importantly, share your dreams with others... For they may hold a vital piece to the puzzle you've been working at... In some cases your puzzle may become their's, and/or their's may become yours...
The single most important thing we can do with our dreams is to have the courage and integrity to share them with the world in the face of oppression, ridicule, and verbal, mental, spiritual, and sometimes even physical abuse. Even though some may try to force you to be silent with the volume of their laughter, they don't matter. They don't even exist... What matters so importantly, are the few people who Did listen and Did appreciate you and Will take something from what you shared and enrich their own experience with it and possibly others. Possibly many others.

Can someone please explain this????
So hard to say when the camera is in the hands of someone else. That is our total disadvantage, We need someone with a scope (NASA or amateur astronomers) and then someone else to tell us what the hell we're seeing.
