SOHO Strikes Back
Nick Lightfoot writes "As seen on /. several days ago, Euroseti is holding a conference to show off it's collection of pictures of 'UFOs' taken by SOHO cameras. SOHO has released a response
page to show how a cosmic ray or other similar ccd artifact could be mistaken for a UFO, especially after the image has been enhanced. After watching Euroseti's video featuring some of the images, I was able to identify one of the 'UFO' images as a comet, and several others looked like they were just planets. Hopefully they will release some images on the web soon so I taking take a closer look at them without having to buy their £15 cd."
A Small Office/Home Office satelite would do something the big commercial, governmental and scientific satelites couldn't! Amazing!
It is because they want to keep all those alien gadgets to themselves. And think of all those nice spacebabes on Venus they would have to share with the rest of the world.

This is a brilliant scam, and I am quite impressed. Someone has finally figured out how to capitalize on the gullability of certain extremist UFO groups.
I've got proof that Elvis exists! I've got hundreds of photographs taken by an outside agency. I've scanned them all, and for the low-low price of $25 (USD), you can own a copy of the proof on CD. I'll let you see a few really low quality internet videos of them before you pay, but I promise you that blur in the corner is The King!

hehe or an area in New York. Actually, There is a pretty good definition of this particular SOHO here.
<:
as an alien i find your comments offensive!
Take a look at this SOHO image! Not only is the Solar system crawling with UFOs, but they've also been concealing the fact that the Sun is mounted on a giant stick! Sure, they say the stick is just a shadow from a pylon in front of the camera, but we know the truth, don't we?
Now the real question is: whose stick is it? And are they likely to come back and probe us?
Silly Rabbit,
Spacebabes aren't for geeks.
Gentlemen, it's safe to take off your tin foil hats now.
HAHAH ... SOHO's "how to" on making UFO's kind of takes the doubt out about whether or not UFO-ish artifacts can be created ...
.. if you still don't believe it, perhaps you can explain away similar bad pixels that show up in particle-detector data at Fermilab or CERN as itty-bitty UFO's haunting the collider? Or maybe they're little angels taking the dead particles away to heaven?
...
I mean, if you really think a second independent group needs to "prove" that you can use photoshop to interpolate a bad pixel, then gimme some money and you've got yourself an article!
Hmm
Now I'd like to see *that* headline in UFO magazine
-=[You cannot consistently judge this statement to be true.]=-
The original picture before the "enhancement" looks more like a spacecraft to me. It looks like the original, constitution class, Enterprise, in orbit! The enhanced picture is obviously fake...it looks like flying saucers seen in TV shows.
Is this an undocumented time travel occurance where Kirk and crew visits 2001??

Geez! These guys clearly don't have any clue, they don't even know that UFOs don't exhaust anything!
Because we humans are near the verge of destroying ourselves, the aliens have upped the pace of abductions. The problem is that they don't have enough "regular" saucers for the job, so they had to pull some of their older chemical-based-propulsion saucers out of mothball and get them working again. Thus, exhaust fumes.
Even aliens are not immune from boom and bust cycles. Hmmm. Maybe there is a market for abduction tracking software.

So you think Euroseti's claims are a bit far-fetched? Perhaps just an attempt to cash in? Well, in a long ranging scientific analysis of the images obtained by euroseti, we at bobjonesuniversityseti have revealed the TRUE nature of the "UFO's" in the SOHO images. Here is the proof!
