For example, there was an explosion on Jupiter as picked up by amateur astronomers. Oh and for the record I am not sure how “amateur” they are given what they observed and knew enough about it to realize it was something to share. Tariq Malik at Space.com published an article in September of last year (2012). In it he published the following picture:
That photo was taken by Astronomer George Hall (way to go man!!) of Dallas, Texas (I loved Texas by the way!!). It is a picture from a video he was taking of Jupiter on 10 Sept 2012. What I find interesting is that another Astronomer from the UK (the country, they are not referencing one of my favorite colleges) J , Pete Lawrence produced the following graphic of Jupiter to show the area of the Jupiter impact from 12 Sept 12. But for some reason (I am sure Professional Astronomers all over the planet know why but not me) inverted the planet graphics. This is an interesting point that will be brought up later in my discussion here. Anyhow this picture is also from Space.com and credit goes to (Pete Lawrence/DigitalSky.org UK).
They go on further in the article from Space.com that the fireball on Jupiter was so large and bright that amateur astronomers all over the planet (Earth not Jupiter - J ) spotted the flash. It seems Dan Peterson of Racine Wisc was the first to report it. This as reported by Spaceweather.com. They say that Peterson said the flash lasted about 1.5 to 2 seconds. When you think of flashes of light, explosions, etc, 2 seconds seems like a long time. I am not saying this to say I don’t believe the duration, as to simply make an observation that this seems like a long time and maybe something is going on with it. He goes on to say that his best guess is that it was simply an undetected comet….one that left an impact that large on a planet that size. But no one seen it…before now. He goes on to compare the impact with the Shoemaker-Levy 9 impacts which left marks in the Jovian clouds. However, this one didn’t appear to do so. At least from what I have read so far.
What is cool too in this whole story line is that George hall didn’t even realized he had recorded it until he read Peterson’s report. Imagine his surprise and delight when he saw what he had recorded! But back to the black box and how this is linked to that thought process. The article goes on to say that there three previous objects reported striking Jupiter since July 2009. The first one was reported only from the leftover, a bruise on the surface the size of the Pacific Ocean (that is HUGE!!). But no one saw it hit. The other two happened in 2010, the first of which was almost a year later after the one in 2009. It was reported in June 2010 (this comes up again later).
Take a close look at this video…

Or…maybe it is a ship that went into Jupiter’s environment…and the video feed only caught the point of entry because of optics and video quality….or is it simply CGI?? We know that it wasn’t CGI based on the involvement of the person taking the video in their field. This is because to generate a CGI that couldn’t be confirmed by other sources could be devastating to someone of this character if someone found out or could prove it, so let‘s safely assume that it can not be CGI. So…can it be a space craft using Jupiter as some type of energy dampening in order to slow something down? With one being in 2010, and another in 2011, roughly a year later, could those have been test probes? Could the ones in 2010 been the first of probes and the ones in 2011 be the ships? I know, I am thinking, anyone reading this is thinking…QUACK!! But bear with me and let’s have some fun with this. J
Look at 2010 explosion on Jupiter…take a close look at the explosion in both videos when comparing the two…could this really be a copy paste CGI?? Or is the same object shapes hitting Jupiter causing very similar explosion patterns??

www.space.com
Photo from 2012 Video
And when we rotate the picture (as did the Astronomer from UK for some reason)…the explosion doesn’t match up…but notice..
The similarities…the spray may not show up in the other photos dues to optics…could the 2012 explosion be a second ship…or could this newer one be CGI using the 2010 video as a reference?? Again, I think we can safely remove the CGI aspect because of the previous argument against such. But could something striking Jupiter at different times and different objects produce such similar characteristics?
I believe both are amazing and it is even more amazing that someone did this with a telescope you can put in your own backyard. I love the kinds of telescopes they used. I remember one of our neighbors had one when I was very little. It look like it was 3 feet across. LOL But I never got the chance to look through it. So we have our own telescope now. Not as big at the one used here…I am going to have to look into getting a bigger one! lol.
But again back to the black box. What if something was using Jupiter like a ballistics’ jell type of deceleration, only they are using the atmosphere in slowing down a spacecraft? I was really hoping to run some numbers using some theories behind atmospheric entry dynamics but in seeing the asteroid comments at that time it made me realize that I really should post something up before the 15th of December when a very large near orbital passed by the earth, which I did at the time. So bare with me as I continue. I may add something later regarding theory behind planet braking. But for now I want to continue to a photo I saw.
Notice how this looks like a spaceship. Notice too the date, January 2010. It looks like something with a specific balanced shape passing through something at high speed. It almost looks as if it is drifting back…waiting for something.
Check out NASA’s video of the object:
http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/2010/34/video/c/
According to NASA there were no more images of the object…after May 2010.

An object is seen hitting Jupiter in June…2010.
Now fast forward all of this to December 2012 and asteroid 4179 Toutatis that was following us, figuratively along in space. According to Mike Wall’s article published 11 December 2012 on Space.com the asteroid is 3 miles wide and it “buzzed” the planet Earth over a period of a few days. It’s closest approach was Wednesday morning, 12-Dec-2012, strange numerical sequence too, coincidence? J It was within 5 million miles of the Earth at that time. According to Space.com Slooh Space Camera and Virtual Telescope Project was to be showing free video of it starting at 3 PM EST yesterday, but when I went to the link it crashed on me. And when I got to the Italian telescope it gave an error as well. Neither event great things to see when you are typing at midnight and developing a scary little black box about alien space craft when they are suppose to be approaching.
But back to the fun stuff. J And in case you don’t believe I actually got those errors…check out my screen shot…not photoshopped.
But again back to the black box before an alien taps on my window saying, “take me to your leader”. J And for the article check out:

But back again to the black box. Here is an interesting video provided by Space.com.
http://www.space.com/18828-3-mile-long-asteroid-to-fly-by-earth-see-the-orbit.html
Notice specific locations at certain dates:
06 DEC 12 Toutatis is coming closer:

11 Dec 12 Toutatis is where we can see a little behind the asteroid along the path.
(Credit goes to Space.com and from NASA.)
12DEC12 Toutatis is coming toward us at the closest point..
(Credit goes to Space.com and from NASA.)
21 Dec 12 the day of significance in the Mayan Calendar…the Dooms day prediction day…We can see clearly now behind the asteroid along the path of the asteroid. Anything behind it will be in full view now.
(Credit goes to Space.com and from NASA.)
If something was riding behind to hide because they know we have the ability to observe space around us….this would be nearing the last window of opportunity to move toward Earth from the Asteroid’s “shadow”. A three mile wide asteroid could hide a lot of things behind it.
And some food for thought as the 21st of December 2012 approached, some interpreted the Mayan calendar events for that day as the end of the old and a beginning of the new. A date in which Earth will change and move into a new time, a new world. Maybe the Mayan’s predicted this all along….
Obviously nothing really came of this...that we know of (key mysterious science fiction music here). :) This was a fun little thought process experiment. I am sure I should probably write a short story around it and I might just do that some day. :) There are lots of little objects that fly in similar paths toward and past the earth. Any one of which could be that piggy back approach that is used to hide behind. Maybe that is why we see so many rises in UFO sightings just after one of the larger ones comes close by. Maybe too, like someone once said, when you have events in the sky like this, people tend to look up more. Could they be looking for something and want so much to see it that they think they see something...or could it simply be more eyes are looking up and so we see more? :)
Just another note...I had published this posting under a different blog sometime back but have been slowly closing that site...it just didn't reach the need I intended. Thanks to all my friends for reading my little blog. :) More to come....Oh and don't forget...20th of July...aniversary :)
As I have done with some of my other postings if you want to read more on the original article: http://www.foxnews.com/science/2012/09/12/explosion-on-jupiter-spotted-by-amateur-astronomers/#ixzz26GzsRQwy. Well, the original Fox News article.
And from what I gather He used this telescope according to the source:
