In the 1st photo of Foley Prom you may notice a faint streak
of light in the background, here circled in red.



In the high res image it looks like this.
This is in its standard format, unzoomed.



The pic below is cropped and zoomed



This is the same image as above with inverted colour



**If anyone would like the original high res image, send me a private message
with your email address and I will post it to you. It is a 5mb file.

Back onto the second pic, the obelisk in the background
circled here in blue is not on any of the other photos in the same run.
So it must only be a development process type of thing.
The other object circled in red is in the other photos but
looks more to be a strange terrain feature than anything else.

Here is something else I am kind of working on. Once again I am waiting
for high res photos to proove myself wrong
There is a series of photographs from Highjump on the database.
All of the photos of this particular run have the same object circled.
This is one of the photos in low res
I am not the one who circled this object, it is on the original photos
from 1947.




I cant help but notice that this looks like a pyramid, and so do the others
at this resolution anyway



Yeah, Yeah I know but look at the pic below. Notice how the shadow
stretches along one side, it looks the same to me.



Have a nice day

Here are the low res scans.
Notice how it keeps its shape at different angles.

We'll see what happens in a few weeks time when the high res scans come in
It could easily be a rocky outcrop or something like that as well.

Thanx for posting OP and well done for the way you went about it.

For now I'm just booking my seat, will come back and comment later.

Oh geez, silly me did I forget to mention that,

All photos in this thread makeing reference to original Operation Highjump are
used with acknowledgement that the Australian Antarctic Data Centre are the
lawful copyright owners and stuff

maybe not so crazy afterall

I was very interested in seeing the pics on this post, but for some reason they appear to be gone? I don't even get a link.. just blank space, in the very first post....

Oh crap I removed the pics from my profile page
I did'nt think they would go from here as well

I will have to go through and repost them, geez

Ok then, so I'll use this as a review post.
This is the first pic Foley Prom.
Full low res image


Cropped high res image

I looks like the beam of light is comming from this ground feature.

In the next image of the flight run the light beam is gone
but the ground feature is still there.



The only natural explanation I can find is these light pillars.
In really cold environments, ice particles in the air diffuse the light
creating a light pillar.

street lights


ice skate rink lights


Please note that light pillars normally appear above the light source
not projected from it as the black and white photos.

In the first pic you will see an area circled in red.
In the high res image this appears in the sky.

This is the second pic, when I first posted this thread
I only had this one photo, and as I stated there looks like and obelisk
on the horizon. And something else to the left of the pic.



Once I located other photos of the flight run, it became certain that the obelisk
was just a chemical burn or something similar that happened during the
development process. The object of interest to the left seems to be nothing but
an interesting land feature.

This is the 3rd pic. I found it interesting as they have circled an area of interest
and have written a referal to another photo. The photo that is refered to is missing from
the database and attempts to contact the AADC have gone unanswered at this time.

This brings us to this set of photos below. As I stated earlier it looks like
a pyramid. There are a few natural pyramidal mountains in Antarctica so this could
easily be so too. The structure was circled by whoever was connected to Highjump, not me.

Ok, now look at this photo below. Look at the general landscape and notice how the
roads and tracks criss cross around the place.
