1. This just proves it.

The moon landing never happened.

[defendandprotect]

8. Glad you agree . . . !!!

[Deja Q]

2. Fred Pehlps behind that?

Link doesn't work; it comes up with a triangle with exclamation point inside...

[mainegreen]

3. Ooooh, a triangular patch of dirt not casting a shadow in an area of clear human habitation.

How mysterious!!!

[NightWatcher]

4. sorry, I dont trust pictures

[Cleita]

5. Google maps aren't always patched together from the same

date. It becomes pretty apparent when you google mountain ranges and get abrupt snow scapes suddenly appearing next to greenscapes with a sharp straight line.

Also, that triangle could be a landing field out there photographed at different times. You should check whats out there that could account for it before drawing conclusions.

[uppityperson]

7. I live in one of those fuzzy spots. For fun, look at coast of MS

somewhere near Pass Christian Katrina damage suddenly disappears. Odd.

[defendandprotect]

9. Well . . . did you read the explanation ... ?

A landing field, eh --- ???

What do you do with the information from films of sightings and eye witnesses to sightings ---
simply ignore it?

And that would include many professional people --- pilots, co-pilots, doctors, lawyers ---
witnesses who experienced sightings in large groups --- President Carter being one of those --
and in smaller groups -- President Ronald Reagan being one of those -- ???

And large crowds, such as in Mexico sightings -- ???

[Cleita]

14. So it's your opinion. I have an open mind and I do delve into

a lot of Ooga, booga, smooga stuff myself, but I have found out the hard way, it's best to go into these things with the idea of debunking them until you arrive at a point where there is no explanation.

[defendandprotect]

15. So what is your explanation here --- Google farce?

Or do you believe that fires burn in a perfect triangle --- with dots of flames at the precise
end of the triangles?

[Cleita]

17. Who knows what google does to put together those maps. You

should ask them and not me. I'm just saying you need to put together a better case for your assumption.

[defendandprotect]

20. Is anyone here joining in to say that Google is publishing false

photos --- ???

[Cleita]

21. Your argument is getting silly.

I'm outta here. Go pester someone else.

[defendandprotect]

25. Look --- I don't have a lot of experience with Google Earth . . .

I think it's fair to ask if anyone else here does ---

Is there confidence in what Google is issuing, or not --- ?

You might not like the question --- but I'm certainly not asking you to be here ---

If you're not interested in the subject, why are you here?

And, btw, the questions about these spaceships in the sky go back to the native America ---
it was one of the first questions they asked Columbus about ---
Evidently, he denied being aware of them ---

Rather, those not interested in this subject become a curiosity in themselves . . .

[Warren DeMontague]

29. "getting" silly?

No, it's been consistently silly.

[defendandprotect]

34. Personally, I think it is rather "silly" . . .

to have absolutely no curiosity about such things as UFO's . . .
from almost any standpoint --- national security or national hallucination.

From what I can see, those who rush to dismiss this issue -- and I guess "tin foil hat" is now so outdated that "silly" has been resurrected/??? --- are either
very shallow thinkers or are fearful of the subject.

What we too often see at DU is a strong urge by the few to make a few subjects "taboo" and DU is living out that reality which will leave many DUers
poorly informed on many important subjects.

[Warren DeMontague]

38. Thanks for the lecture. You should talk, about shallow, "poorly informed" thinking.

Anyone who doesn't immediately flip the fuck out over a triange- a triangle!- on a google Earth shot of Australia must be "fearful of the subject". :eyes:

I guess you missed the post downthread where this "phenomenon" of yours was easily explained, on the very same website that you linked to in the OP no less (whoops!):

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=2825748&mesg_id=2828502

There's a difference between rational inquiry on all manner of subjects that involves thinking---

and being a giant friggin' woo-woo flake.

[defendandprotect]

39. Thank you for bringing it to my attention ... but we are discussing an overall subject . . .

and the lack of curiosity overall is what I was commenting upon ---

As far as this explanation, I'm sure someone will follow up on it --
personally, I don't think fires burn in such precise lines, nor is land cleared that precisely ---
but I'm certainly willing to learn....


Mystery Behind Australia UFO Photos

Page Two

If you take a good look at this image of the supposed Australia UFO sighting you can clearly see a shadow near the center, which is marked so you can spot it. See how the shadow leans out to the left? That's because its a radio tower for the Emu Downs Wind Park near Badgingarra National Park.

Clive Marks, Director of the Nocturnal Wildlife Research Party Ltd from East Malvern, Victoria Australia wrote:
Hope this helps. You can request a range of satellite images and aerial photographs to confirm this - in case you think me a "gray" with too much time on his alien hands.]



MEANWHILE . . .
Perhaps you noticed that the article continues on ---

Another reader said this wasn't the only UFO spotted that fit the earlier description in last week's Australia UFO story saying:
No one could offer an earthly explanation. The EU promised to look into it and then? Then the press died down and everyone forgot about it.

But now with videocams there are more triangles being filmed..as well as discs.

Again, this is a subject which has been been strongly with us for more than 60 years now --
since Roswell and the first "flying saucer" sightings by Kenneth Arnold, followed by
UFO's over the Capitol.

They are huge --- they are now on tape -- see: Phoenix Sightings
and there are others as well recorded and as well-witnessed ---

No -- I don't think you need to "flip the fuck out" nor be a "giant woo-woo flake" ---
but I would like to see some signs of "THINKING" . . .

[Warren DeMontague]

40. Yeah, whatever.

If there were a shred of credible evidence pointing to extraterrestrial visitation on this planet, I would find that pretty damn interesting. The "Phoenix sightings" notwithstanding (Yes, I've seen the videotape- they were flares, just as the "official explanation" claimed.) there isn't anything that even remotely comes close.

But to each his or her own.
I'm done here. Knock yourself out.

[GaYellowDawg]

31. Ronald Reagan?

You're citing Ronald fucking Reagan?!? If there ever was someone who could fuck up an eyewitness account, it was Reagan. By the time he was president, I think he actually thought he was George Gipp. Tell me, did he see the UFO during the morning in America while he was visiting the welfare queen?

Ronald Reagan, eyewitness. Holy shit.

[defendandprotect]

35. You're first NOW hearing about Ronald Reagan and his "aliens" --- ??

Here you go ---

Ronald Reagan at United Nations ---
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag44dRO8LEA


Here's some more of his history with UFO's . . .

http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=Reagan+comments+to+UN+on+%22aliens%22+&fr=yfp-t-501&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8

Take your pick -- !!!

but here's some details on his UFO experiences . . .
You have to go down a little bit in the article to where the UFO details
begin ---

http://www.presidentialufo.com/reagan_ufo_story.htm


And, of course, there are details about the Nixon's "national security" interests in the "evil aliens" --- as was Ford's thinking ---

[DrDebug]

32. My fav google patch job

The best example of a patch job is on 5th avenue in New York City. They probably wanted perspective on those images so t uses aerial photography instead of satelite pictures. The problem is that the perspective differs a lot from street to street and on 5th avenue of all places, you'll see a church tower reaching out to a skyscraper and almost kissing the building on the other side of the street.

[defendandprotect]

36. Yes, but they got it all in --- and the reason for distortions are clear to you ---

however, are they presenting purposefully fraudlent photos?

[L. Coyote]

6. I called my travel agent. I have plane tickets. I'll go check it out.

ROFLMAO

[defendandprotect]

28. Yep... people bought plane tickets --- but they haven't gone anywhere

in near space or outer space since 1969 ---

[Adsos Letter]

10. Interesting...transparent UFOs...!!!!

...'cause you can see the surrounding surface details continue unbroken through the "ufo" image.... :wtf:

:rofl:

[L. Coyote]

11. You just have to slip this idea onto a crop circle forum! ROFLMAO

[defendandprotect]

16. Yeah, because we all know that "Doug & Dave" did all the crop circles --- !!!

[defendandprotect]

19. Or, it's the manner of imitating the background which makes objects

appear invisible ---

something that our military has imitated ---

You project what's behind you to the front --

[Adsos Letter]

24. Then why would you put such bright lights on the wingtips...?

...especially if you want to remain hidden via this "surface projection" you speculate about...? :shrug:

[defendandprotect]

26. Excellent question . . .

However, these are two different issues ---

WE have imitated the spaceships manner of making itself invisible by projecting what is behind
it to the front of it ---

As we've seen with some of the sightings --- the Phoenix Sightings, for one --- though most people are immediate aware that there is HUGE geometry connecting the "lights" . . .

that what is actually there is a tremendous triangle --- about a mile long and a half mile wide --
many people -- perhaps out of fear or disingenuousness --- will deny that there are anything
but disconnected "lights."

I would presume that those operating the spaceships find the "lights" necessary at times ---
and at other times, they might prefer not to be seen. Witnesses tell us that in some sightings
the "lights" come on a few at a time -- and sometimes go off the same way.

[Andrushka]

23. Yes

And interesting how that stock track (going to what appears to be a very dry water hole or well) at the bottom right corner avoids the shape.

[defendandprotect]

27. I might agree with you if your comment was a bit clearer . . . can you

try that again --- ?

In other words --- whaaaat?

[hatrack]

12. But are they . . . PINK triangles?!?

THAT would be the final proof needed to show that the Secret Gay Agenda is making its play for world domination!!!

[defendandprotect]

18. No -- there are enlargements, close ups -- more like a red/brown --

and there seems to be "lights" of the same/equal size in the corners, but somewhat smaller than the lights of the same/equal size and shape in the main area of the triangle ---

A light of different sorts in the center -- exact center ---

[Neshanic]

37. Shhhh...Our next diabolical plan is the new "Gay ray". Someone slipped up flying on this one.

We never allow one of our ships to be documented, well except for ships over West Hollywood.

[Done]

13. I like to look up and smile.

I hope to someday see myself on google.

[defendandprotect]

22. Google uses "superimposition" . . . .

Superimposition
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Look up Superimposition in
Wiktionary, the free dictionary.In graphics, superimposition is the placement of an image or video on top of an already-existing image or video, usually to add to the overall image effect, but also sometimes to conceal something (such as when a different face is superimposed over the original face in a photograph). This technique is used to produce photomaps by superimposing aerial photographs over grid lines, contours and other normal mapping features.

Superimposition of 2D images containing correlated periodic grid structures may produce moiré patterns. Superimposition of two correlated layers comprising parallel lines or curves may give rise line moiré patterns. The movement of one of the layers results in a faster movement of the line moiré superimposition image. Such optical acceleration is known as moiré speedup (check for the formulas of optical speedup for curved patterns). When superimposing two identical layers comprising randomly spaced parallel lines, at a small angle or with a small scaling difference random line moiré patterns, namely line Glass patterns (after Leon Glass, 1969) appear. Similarly, when superimposing two identical layers of randomly scattered dots at a small angle or with a small scaling difference random dot Glass patterns, namely random dot moiré, appears. When one of the layers embeds complex shapes, such as sequences of symbols forming a text, and another layer contains parallel lines or curves, the superimposition image may gives rise to magnified shapes, called shape moiré patterns.

30. It's a tower, supported by guy wires. You can see the shadow

Actually, theat site you linked to has another page about it:
