Mars Orbiter Photographs another Mars Orbiter
rde writes "We're all familiar with blurry photographs of UFOs, but NASA have gone one better; the Mars Global Surveyor has photographed fellow satellite Mars Odyssey as it whizzed past. This is the first instance of one extraterrestrial satellite photographing another."
Holy shit! How'd that swampgas get to Mars?!
We now have confirmed reports from an informed Orange County minister that Ethel is still an active communist.
They're one happy family, going on trips to exotic places and taking pictures of each other!
I guess that would a be near miss... no, a near hit... wait a minute... it's a near miss...
"Now, it's a piece of cake in Photoshop."
So you used Photoshop to replace the second instance of the girl with a piece of cake. But that wouldn't look like there were twins.
it is only after a long journey that you know the strength of the horse.
I think I can see the Virgin Mary in that blury photo. The scientologists are right, it really is true that we came from another planet!
Ok so the explanation is pretty clear to most everyone... if you believe that propaganda!!!
Clearly the larger so-called "satellite" is a Romulan Bird of Brey that has come to hunt down the Odyssey satellite before it either A) discovers the Romulans cloaked mission control base for Earth domination (by crashing into it) or B) becomes sentient like "V---ger" did.

Hang on... the Martians are intelligent, and yet they're watching our TV?
Real Daleks don't climb stairs - they level the building.
It starts with taking pictures...
Why didn't they just take the pictures before they sent them? That way they could get much closer than 90km.

Obviously Mars Odyssey was using the Picard maneuver.

Later that day, Mars Odyssey filed a restraining order against Mars Global Surveyor with claims of stalking.

Surely I'm not the only one who looked at that image and saw birds of prey.

:-D
Amazing...we send probes all the way to Mars to they can photograph...each other.
Kinda like when Americans visit other countries...all they want to do is talk to other/i> Americans.

That's a couple of the vipers launched from Battlestar Galactica. They think they've finally found Earth, and are quite confused as to why they've renamed it Barsoom. The damn cleric in the Tombs of Kobol was a bit drunk when he made the map to Earth.
I mean, we really are in stone age. That could be anything. That could be a blob, it could be a light bulb exploding in a dark room. I need concrete evidence that that was what NASA claims it was.

If I saw something like this

there would be no doubts in my mind.
But NASA? Pffffft.
