11/6/2005: "Glowing water" in satellite image

Undertoad · 11-06-2005, 04:04 AM

Via Fark comes this NPR item which covers a really wild "earth at night" type image.

In this shot, which is pretty cool to start, you notice a bluish piece of snot at the lower right, off the coast of Africa. That goober is not a mistake by the photographer. It's glowing water. "...about the size of Connecticut, and researchers think billions of glowing bacteria are the source."

Whoa!

Nah.. some poor country dumping radioactive waste inte the sea.

And what have they poured into the nile...

Poor countries can't afford radioactive waste.

I'm guessing it's Academy Award Night in Atlantis.

My guess is.....

Aliens.

ET type aliens.

Slang - you beat me to it. I was going to say the same thing!

wolf · 11-06-2005, 01:56 PM

Nah. I think it's the Predator kind of aliens. The shiny, glowy thing is bait.

Trilby · 11-06-2005, 01:59 PM

It doesn't look like a goober to me. It looks like a completely different kind of stain.

Happy Monkey · 11-06-2005, 02:06 PM

I think Abyss aliens are the most likely culprits.

Its Saddam's uranium from Niger. The WMDs have finally been found ...... Quick. Someone tell George so he can announce it.

Are they sure it's not just a lens artifact?
