Wow, just wow. Does not seem to have a orbit and is moving extremely fast... first interstellar comet detected.
Are there anymore "first" of something or events that we are not going to see lol? The gravitational waves from the first witness of two neutron stars colliding and now this. They think the gravitational waves created pure gold from the collision. Although I am not sure how they know that detail?
Things that makes you go hmmmmm

Suspicious Observations new video on YouTube just posted an awesome discovery about comets. What was thought to be ice creating the tails and light is now being shown as energy that comes from within the comet itself. The recent probe that landed on one shows that in the photographs it took. Can't wait to see what else comes if their analysis of the comet!

Very cool! Along the same lines as the subject of the thread, did anyone see this? Pretty crazy! Definitely a lot of strange things going on in the sky! |

Very cool! Along the same lines as the subject of the thread, did anyone see this? Pretty crazy! Definitely a lot of strange things going on in the sky! I watched the vid. It appears to be a military aircraft, very high altitude, moving very fast (SR71 blackbird?). The ripple before it crosses in front of Saturn looks like a shockwave caused by the air compressing as it is 'moved out of the way' of the aircraft, just before it slides over the fuselage. This air movement would appear as a distortion to a camera that has 'poor' resolution (due to the distance from the camera to the plane). The shockwave would be present because it is something occurring in the atmosphere. In outer space, there is no air, so no shockwave would distort Saturn. Still, its very cool. |

Can I just say thank you for a down to earth opinion about this lol!!! When I saw the video, I said the same thing. That is a very high altitude plane and the ripple is likely from the heat of the jets/air movement at such a high speed which causes... ripples!!! And the lights blinking were so distorted from being zoomed in so far. Cameras with the hyper zoom that the Nikon has, do not give a real clear picture when zoomed in so much. The slightest movement because the angle degree of view is so small, can distort the photograph/video. While it is super cool that the camera is telescopic enough to view Saturn, a telescope is so much better because it lets in much more light  |

Here are a couple examples of how the compression shockwave would work. Air is treated as if it were a fluid, because it expresses fluidic properties.
Saturn is back-lighting the aircraft, and that's why you see the compression shockwave. BTW, the aircraft could very well be a scramjet or ramjet, as I have heard that those technologies are being played around with. They require excessively high altitudes to work properly, due to air density/lift-drag requirements. Hope you find the above informative. |

Very interesting! That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for taking a look at it, yardstick and cwood85 ! |

This article has a photograph of it. Not a very good one though.
