I'll save the OP some trouble.
This is Melbourne and Sydney, AU.
Check for yourselves using the coordinates in the images if you want.
Hey res, yeah I'm in Port. Looks like a few should be around our skies if they are more than image faults.

So many off the coast of california, between hawaii and the ca. coast.
Could this have to do with Redoubt about to go?

Interesting though.
Logic tells me they are simply image defects, however, they are all over cloud cover for starters (as Worldwatcher said).
Also, they all seem to be near fairly large population centres.
I just checked and found large groups near Beijing, Moscow, London and New York. Sounds like a B-grade sci-fi movie plot.

- Look closer, you'll see that those things have 3 dimensional shapes. There's a high chance of not being errors. I've compared the location of the dots to see if they would match cities, no. If it was an error how come you don't see those "errors" outside of clouds?
