http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ground-near-secret-Area-51-military-base.html However, it's just the Cresent Dunes Solar Energy Project, and some lens flare and reflection from the dual pane aircraft window (which you can tell by the doubling of the lights). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crescent_Dunes_Solar_Energy_Project Those are all mirrors which focus the sunlight on a collecting tower. This frequently shows up as a bright light that can be seen by planes flying near Las Vegas.
I feel like this was one of those that you can just LOOK at and instantly know its fake from the second you see it.
Yes, this was pretty obvious. I seen solar sites like that before when flying to Vegas. Seems like the Daily Mail will print just about anything.
The comments in the article debunked the snot out of the "UFO" sighting as well. All the up votes are for the reasonable explanation and anything claiming UFOs or Govt Cover Up are getting down voted hard. +1 to Humanity on this one.
Nah, they just know their audience. I can't be the only one to notice that those who hate the MSM seem to be the biggest consumers of it.
So many things fall into that category as far as I am concerned. There are way too many credulous, gullible people in the world IMO.
The solar project appears to be under construction in the Google Earth view, with only some of the solar panels in place, but I've approximated the viewpoint here. You can see that the road and the three dark areas (storage tanks?) match up, as do the sand dunes in the foreground.
Apple Maps is sometimes more up to date, but in this case less so, looking like it's some secret excavation of a flying saucer
We all know that they just put the solar collector there to cover up the alien crash site.. its obvious to anyone that just looks at it.
Here's another video, this time of the Ivanpah facility, just South of Las Vegas. Ivanpah has three collector fields, so is a little more distinctive. Looks like this might be an occasional thing for the foreseeable future. It's the type of bunk that's self correcting, as the location is known, and the solar plants are easy to track down, so people will do so in the comments. Occasionally though it's going to get promoted by people like Scott Waring, and picked up by the click-hungry "Weird News" segments of the tabloid media. Hopefully a useful illustration of how odd looking things can have perfectly reasonable explanations
Apparently the Tonopah solar farm has been accused of cooking birds that get too close... ... so you could say it is an identified frying object.
The Ivanpah plant is also a visual problem for pilots - sometimes "blinding" them with the bright light. There were a few stories about this last year, but not much this year. You have to be pretty close to it. http://docketpublic.energy.ca.gov/P...T153414_Heliostat_Positioning_Plan_Report.pdf
Perhaps this was too silly even for the Daily Mail, they have done a hurried update to the story: But show a photo of the wrong facility, which will keep the speculation going:
I wonder if the multi-million dollar businesses that run Crescent Dunes and Ivanpah subscribe to Harry Rhodes' et al views on SRM etc and that these asshole planes are flying too close and blocking their solar plants with contrails, potentially loosing millions of dollars in electrical power generation. But seriously, surely the owners have conducted cost-benefit analysis studies for these type of "problems" which may be available someplace?
The dutch (lemme call it weirdo site) www.niburu.co also has an article about it. And they claim it furthermore that the taker of that shot had three shots left on his phone and claimed that the battery was full?! http://niburu.co/index.php?option=c...eming-vanuit-vliegtuig&catid=34:ufo&Itemid=47
Thank you, Whitebeard. Ofcourse the little ufos can also be easily explained: reflection of the solar array on the window of the plane.
i'm confused. what's MUFON? when i went to a site called MUFON with ufo pics this story doesnt show anywhere. a sight called "ufo daily sighting" has it posted as "mufon case #72656 (Nov 23 2015)..is this site part of the MUFON network? and "openmindstv" has "mufon case#72636" as happening on October 8 2015. <i only add this because if the photo snapper didnt report his UFO until almost 4 weeks later his memory could be sketchy about his battery. anyway, wheres the original story? on that ufo daily site?
MUFON = Mutual UFO Network https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_UFO_Network To be fair, there is no reference on their website to 'case #72636', and even the internal search threw up no responses. So I suspect it was reported, given a case number, then when it became pretty obvious what it was not followed up on or reported.
It's the policy obviously of Niburu.co that they often put in fantasized paragrahs in their articles. To fill up the gaps I guess. The site is run by some guys who are... how shall I put it politely... has a tiny screw loose. They also mostly post stories that are COMPLETELY untrue, and completely made-up. And as far as I can see @ Google, there is no case #72636 whatsoever. (or the people of Niburu have lied... again.)
I thought they might be referring to NUFORC but they have no case numbers, and the recent Nevada entries are just a huge list of people who saw the Trident test. http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/ndxlNV.html
Would you really recognise one when you see something like this? https://lessthanamateur.wordpress.c...t-we-saw-from-the-salton-sea-on-bombay-beach/
