Apparently, there has'nt been carbon-dating or ink analysis on this MS. Correct me if I'm wrong. Perhaps, someone at Yale can cast some light on this. Is it too expensive? Low on the Priority List? In any event, the accuracy and limitations of these analytical tools should, obviously, be explored on...

Year-end Summary
A Summary, as I see it, at this point, for what it's worth: (Ignore emoticons. They're appearing on the #7+1) 1) Possible legit photo 2) Possible hoax photo 3) Possible correct or nearly correct analysis of legit photo 4) Sincere people trying to analyze presented digital photos 5) Others 6) No inpu...

Need Therapy
What is APOD up to now? I think what we have here is a Cosmic Turkey. Note the similar features to our discussion photo: a streak, loops, a flash, and smoke-like stuff. Eerily similar and the image was captured by the orbiting Chandra Observatory(sort of like the Canon PowerShot). Take a look. http:...

Re: Listen, whoever hijacked my name is a petty child
Well no.. not at all. What I am saying is that this IS a factor that must be considered. And no, you cannot psychoanalyze me here... that would be as fruitless as your guesses about the "image in question". I will say that I am simply glad that the hoax possibility is being discussed. Tha...

Re: Hoax logic paradox
No wonder you can't see the logic... you don't have either the experience or the know how, and therefore, you are operating from a position of insufficient information. Ergo, your emotional state will prevent you from pursuing logic. In other words.. you will see what you want to see and no one, no...

Doc Bluto... signing off for the Holidays. Keep seaching for the truth folks!! This is a good exercise. "Doc Bluto... signing off for the Holidays." How convenient, I must say. Pity he is back though :( Oooops. Well, Doc Bluto, as has already been requested, hows about posting those "...

Re: Get a Grip, Doc Bluto
Well... it only took me five minutes to create multiple fakes of the same image, as well as other images... while retaining all digital information. And I am not a graphics artist. So what you are sayng is that the whole thing relies heavily upon your belief in the utter purity of heart of a person...

Re: Congratulations hazeii3
At least somone decided to finally go all out and follow the line of empirical science to it's end. It's unfortunate that everyone so caught up in explaining the phenomenon, can't come to grips with the simplest fact of experimentation and support for a working theory. I myself am as equally guilty...

Go to California
Interesting and fun experiments. But, we have to get a bug that's not Super Glued to a spoke. Try Southern California. I'm afraid some potential subjects met a disasterous fate on their way to pollen heaven. Las Vegas Firefighters Respond To "Save" Truckload Of Bees TIM SZYMANSKI Las Vegas...

And speaking of all the variables we'll never know, take a look at the tech info on the Canon PowerShot G3. I'm putting this URL up again:http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canong3/. The other thing is that I just wanted to be on page 100.

Here's the camera: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canong3/. It's time for a diagonal streak produced by a BUG. Go to it boys and girls. Don't forget to wear your bee suit. Do your best to duplicate the variables.

The BUG theory would seem to be winner by popular demand. I don't fall in love with my theories. Despite the variables problem, I sure would like to see a similar streak(diagonal) produced with that same camera type. Someone please go to a bee box and shoot away for possible flight streak on a digi.

I'm back as promised. The pixel detective work is very interesting. I'm not convinced about the pixel interpetation on the horizon as it relates to the streak. My contention is that all these events i.e. the streak, the flash, and the smoke or smoke-like phenomema seemingly in the area of the post, ...

Atmospheric conditions can create contrails that appear to have a constant width over distance. I'll be back with more examples.
