Starflint replied to the thread A cigar-shaped unidentified luminous object captured on a Xinjiang passenger aircraft [Likely Ski Area].May need to check the flight data for the altitude around 21:45 and then compare it with the marked points in the picture; I'm not sure if we can see behind the mountain peak, but if possible, it's quite likely to be an entire town -
ATFLIR works with IR wavelenghts of 3 to 5 microns. That's a window of transmission in the atmosphere, meaning that absorption/scatter are minimized. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_window -
Trailblazer replied to the thread A cigar-shaped unidentified luminous object captured on a Xinjiang passenger aircraft [Likely Ski Area].There are also some large industrial sites (coal mines and related plants, by the look of it) just beyond the mountain. It's hard to line up but is it possible that one of those might just be peeking out from behind the mountains? My Google Earth... -

Starflint replied to the thread A cigar-shaped unidentified luminous object captured on a Xinjiang passenger aircraft [Likely Ski Area].I found the location information on Gaode Map; it is a government unit: 柏杨河乡独山子村劳动就业社会保障服务站（Baiyang River Township Dushanzi Village Labor Employment Social Security Service Station ), and it has working hours: Monday to Friday, holidays: 10 AM to...

Starflint replied to the thread A cigar-shaped unidentified luminous object captured on a Xinjiang passenger aircraft [Likely Ski Area].I just used a very clumsy but straightforward method—using a ruler on the monitor screen to connect a point in the region you marked with different colors to that yellow point, thereby obtaining a path line with a certain degree of inclination...

Trailblazer replied to the thread A cigar-shaped unidentified luminous object captured on a Xinjiang passenger aircraft [Likely Ski Area].This feature seems to be in the right location in front of the mountain, possible. Looks like just housing, but could it appear bright enough? 43.9599°N, 87.9946ºE Green pin here:

Like.
Looking in the region of the bridge it is puzzling that we can't see more lights. Many of the buildings are actually down in the valley, though, and would be hidden from the POV of the plane. If it is not the bridge itself, could it be some of... -

Do I have the co-ordinates wrong? It doesn't look like a match to me. It's the purple pin here, and I think there is a corresponding bright area in the pics from the plane. The mystery light is some way further left (north) - close to the bridge...

JMartJr replied to the thread Origin of iconic alien face?.Yes, especially in more recent sightings. But don;t forget the "our space brothers come to share a message of intergalactic peace and like that" meme that was very popular before that, and still floats around the psychic channeling portion of...

@Trailblazer hmmm. Sitrec says yes you're right. Urgh this is melting my brain! o_O Aha - my error was that I didnt think the CBD & illuminated buildings were in the video. I thought the photos were after the video and therefore further along...

Is it possible we are seeing some sort of temporary lighting on the bridge? I am thinking possible construction/repairs being done at night. I am not sure what the practice is in China, in the US this (night construction/repair work) is pretty...
