It has been said that there is more to the truth than just the facts and you can't wake a person who is pretending to be asleep.

F.E.A.R...False Evidence Appearing Real.. Designed to keep you in place an thats exactly what it will do if you let it.

How about an apology to Boxer first. You called him a fraud due to your "lack of understanding". (I'm being nice)

You seem to just skip over all your mistakes as if nothing happened. Why is that?

Re: There REALLY IS something strange in western sky around sunset...!!!
Look forget the quotes...I want ANSWERS or LINKS.

You mentioned the "Google Sky De-bunk STUDY", but KEEP posting the link to SOME image of the "missing data".
 Quoting: 3rdEyeE

Not so "missing" is it? All that was required was to go straight to the primary source for the data. I gave that link as well:
[link to archive.stsci.edu]
And here is the result of grabbing the data from those coordinates:
[link to imageshack.us]
Here are the FACTS until YOU prove otherwise:

NASA Shill David Morrison DOES NOT mention your study. PERIOD.
 Quoting: 3rdeye

Of course he doesn't mention my processing of the sky survey data. Why would he? That is such an obvious red herring I can't even begin to imagine what kind of idiot would fall for it. What he does mention in the sky survey itself and the fact that google is using that, google is not producing live images themselves. Anyone can go straight to the sky survey and get the data for the "missing region" themselves.
You have provided ZERO photographic, video, or even "homemmade" text EVIDENCE that Mr. Morrison has even heard of your study.
 Quoting: 3rdeye

Again, another red herring. I never said a damn thing about Morrison hearing about "my study." What I said is that he didn't disagree with me. You claimed his answer disagreed with mine. It did not. It reaffirmed what I said, even if it didn't go into as much detail, even if he didn't go to the trouble of presenting the "missing region" himself.
So I win on THIS factual point until you PRODUCE.
 Quoting: 3rdeye

Your "factual point" is a red herring.
Got it BitchBoy--yeah, I can cuss too even when I'm WINNING.
 Quoting: 3rdeye

Danth's law. All you have done is throw out a red herring. I presented the "missing region" from Google sky. You claimed to be winning, but like most Danth's law violators, you have lost. Badly.
So for the LAST time, link to the study you gave multiple names/explanations to OR kindly SHUT THE FUCK UP.
 Quoting: 3rdeye

Holy shit, are you substituting the word "study" for "sky survey?" Are you that stupid? Morrison specifically mentioned the sky survey by name, the Palomar sky survey, aka POSS2/UKSTU! It's right here dumbass:

I didn't call anybody dumb. I said people can misuse these apps. His report confirms what I said.
 Quoting: Setheory 41894184


No, your buddies called him dumb, but you are lying right now...His reports does not CONFIRM that he is misusing the app. His report is the app is malfunctioning. Can you prove that the app is NOT malfunctioning? Only in shill world does "App isn't accurate" = "I don't know how to use my app"
 Quoting: 3rdEyeE


This actually demonstrates what several of us have said. If he has three sky apps and none of them agree, then it shows that people are indeed having difficulty using them for whatever reason. So if someone says that they pointed said app at said object and it didn't show up as Venus, then that doesn't necessarily mean it wasn't Venus.

This isn't that hard to understand.
 Quoting: Setheory 41894184


^^This.

I was not misusing the apps. I have geo location enabled on my iphone and it works perfect for navigation. Then I installed the 3 sky watch apps, did callibrate them and pointed them at the same star, each app giving me a "slightly" different position, "slightly" meaning it was basically facing the right and same direction, but it was still off by a few centimeters, which is then showing a totally different star/constellation. So if two of the three apps would have shown the same, I would trust them to work but since none of the three agreed, I don't know which one is working. I deleted them all.

 Quoting: SpellBinder


The plot thickens...wow
 Quoting: Bluepill


Yeah, wow, a bright star or planet. Gee, there aren't ANY bright stars or planets in the west right now, are there? Do tell me Blue, how does this "thicken" the plot at all? He doesn't show any wide views with other stars in the view which could be used to astrometrically solve it, so we're left to guess where exactly this is in the sky. "West" is awfully vague and leaves a number of likely candidates. And that's before we start making ridiculous assumptions that there is some bright naked eye star or planet visible in the west that amateur astronomers have not noticed, discovered, and screamed about. Yet somehow idiots on youtube with no idea how to properly measure the position of this thing, have in fact discovered something that EVERY competent amateur astronomer out there would instantly notice. To use a word you like to use, that would be "impossible."

Again, I invite you to join me at Chiefland astronomy village this year for the fall star party in two weeks. I'll be there Thursday through Sunday along with many other amateur astronomers, each one armed with extremely powerful equipment.

Re: There REALLY IS something strange in western sky around sunset...!!!
Let me make it clear for you:

Motherfucker, I went to your "link"...Astro Bullshit. We are discussing why the data was cropped out--That's it.

I want a link where ANYBODY states that the SURVEY/STUDY is the reason for the missing data. I've watched the Morrison video several times.
 Quoting: 3rdEyeE

You don't even get it. The reason for the missing data is NOT the "survey/study." And it's a SKY SURVEY. The data is NOT missing from the sky survey, THAT is the point! It's only missing from google's sky mosaic which they made by using the sky survey data. Google Sky is a secondary source and should NOT be used as a primary source. If you find something wrong or missing with the secondary source, you should check the primary source. If you had you would have seen there was nothing missing from it. I gave you links to both the primary source and an image of the "missing region" I made from the data downloaded direct from the primary source.
You know a NEWS link....Missing Data from S.O.P. Astro Study causes urban legend.
 Quoting: 3rdeyelie

That's not even what I said you fucking idiot liar. It's NOT missing from the goddamn sky survey!

Items in Question:

Picture 1--We agree it is an illustration (even though Sethy could only say "it appears to be an illustration"). Don't know about you all, but to me that suggests it could be an actual photography.

Does ANYONE agree with Sethy on this bullshit? If so, state your Name.

Picture 2--We agree, NOTHING but clear blue skies. No planes, contrails, chemtrails, lens flare, clouds, nothing (hint, hint this is OBVIOUSLY not the SW sky)

Picture 3--Waiting on "their" answer

Picture 4--We disagree. At least 5 - 10 said "lens flare" b/c of the wire, but actually the wire had nothing to do with it b/c there is some other UN-STATED proof in picture 3 that not 1, but 2 objects are flare or flare-related. What proof you ask, Astro said so and posted a finger test video. Astro has NOT responded to the black thread/sun simulation which is FAR more analogous and easier to produce than responding to my messages. He said the finger was a test, but the thread was a "game". Good thing he gets to play Dick Webster, right?

And to be clear, the object in pics 3, 4 and 5 (WERE NEVER VISIBLE THROUGH MY CAMERA VIEWER).

Picture 5--We disagree. At least 2 people said "lens flare"/"filter flare". There proof/evidence = they said so. Supporting evidence: Shill logic if there is a picture of the sun and ANYTHING else, ALL OTHER SAID things EXCEPT animals are "flares". Get it, right? Nevermind, the REAL flares in the pic (the reddish, circular, translucent flares at or around the bright object). Nope, the two flares that look like a planet AND a moon in photos and with my naked eyes, and the moon (less prominent) than the planet maintains the same DISTANCE and ORIENTATION to the planet...That's that new lens flare, right? How do they know it's a flare and not "the contrail" that everybody has been seeing? Funny, thing my pictures will take it from:

invisible to naked eye
Double lens flare on wire
Double lens flare off wire
Contrail
Venus
NEARLY identical to the DOCUMENTED --descriptions/illustrations of the "winged planet"

And then I am done, so consider us to be at stage 3 of 6.

AstroDog,

To be clear, I did not and am not saying the object is in front of the "object". Just the opposite, the wire is in front and the big object is behind, which is why you can CLEARLY SEE both

Re: There REALLY IS something strange in western sky around sunset...!!!

The plot thickens...wow
 Quoting: Bluepill


Yeah, wow, a bright star or planet. Gee, there aren't ANY bright stars or planets in the west right now, are there? Do tell me Blue, how does this "thicken" the plot at all? He doesn't show any wide views with other stars in the view which could be used to astrometrically solve it, so we're left to guess where exactly this is in the sky. "West" is awfully vague and leaves a number of likely candidates. And that's before we start making ridiculous assumptions that there is some bright naked eye star or planet visible in the west that amateur astronomers have not noticed, discovered, and screamed about. Yet somehow idiots on youtube with no idea how to properly measure the position of this thing, have in fact discovered something that EVERY competent amateur astronomer out there would instantly notice. To use a word you like to use, that would be "impossible."

Again, I invite you to join me at Chiefland astronomy village this year for the fall star party in two weeks. I'll be there Thursday through Sunday along with many other amateur astronomers, each one armed with extremely powerful equipment.

Hey, message me, I might actually be able to come. If that is November 1st I will again be in Orlando and would love to attend.

Went to the Miami museum of science this weekend and the local astronomy club was there. I asked about the "object" but none had seen it. One guy immediately said Ison though.

Thanks for the invite. Would really love to attend.

Really?

Who is frustrated? I see 3rdEye dropping F-bombs on almost every post now. Some of his sentences sentences have become unintelligible and he keeps mixing up terms. In fact, he becomes increasingly belligerent with every post.

Really..??

Well I suppose that shows that beginners, as well experienced observers attend the clubs there.

ISON is currently in Leo, and is a morning object.
No way it can be seen in the west, around sunset.
And a diffuse object like a comet, at around magnitude 10, isn't an easy visual target in a 8" - 10" telescope - not a hope of seeing it by naked-eye yet.

Re: There REALLY IS something strange in western sky around sunset...!!!
It is NOT venus(you can see that clearly to the left/higher)

It is NOT mercury(can hardly be seen @ all, certainly doesn't have disc like appendage)

You can not see anything unusual with eyes only, HOWEVER with a pair of binoculars you can see a round, reddish object as bright as Venus BUT with something CLEARLY protruding from it that is disc like but open ended.


A sort of "V" shape to it... The left side appears to be more prominent. I've checked it out last two nights and can hardly believe my eyes. All articles I read state you can NOT see the rings of Saturn with just binocs; its too far for that. Plus the "V" shape part is larger then the object; it is vice versa with Saturn. I've seen saturn through a proper telescope and it was tiny, its rings even more so.

Please if you are in usa/canada or other northern latitudes, check it out, near sunset WITH binocs @ least. I can't believe this but it looks just like the images of what niburu is supposed to look like, the winged disc!!!

Craziest thing I've ever seen, right up there with hale bopp or green lightning or intense aurora action.

I am sort of willing to believe it's Saturn due to local, appearance but doesn't seem possible @ all(way too much detail for such weak/generic binoculars! It doesn't even say the mag power on them.)!!!
AND
The rings are NOT open ended
The rings are NOT more prominent then the planet/object



Again it is NOT venus, observed it shorlty later/unmistakably.
Mercury might of been the winged messanger but does NOT actually have wing/disc like appearance to it ever.

Will attempt images tomorrow.
