Does anyone have any personal photos of Satellites in orbit?

And...real pictures of Earth...not photoshop images. Not Apollo images. Where are the photos the supposed satellites take?

How do you think google earth works?

Ever seen a weather forecast?

What I think and what I'm trained to think may be two different perspectives. I guess I know what you think.

Mkay!

Dr Astro just shot video of the International Space Station with his telescope yesterday or the day before. You must have missed it.

Here it is:

Thread: ISS through my telescope this morning

I just checked out Astro's box kite photos...where's the rest of the box kite satellites? There should be THOUSANDS! It should be a litter box of flying turds out there!

I have experienced many satellites only with my

Eyes. They are like clockwork. However, I have

Not seen them.

Disturbing that now I see satellite -like objects.

Very dim. They move erratically. They cross the sky's

Slowly at first and turn unlike regular satellites

And stop as if searching for something and then

Proceeding forward at speeds that defy physics.

Maybe they are unmanned.

They are visible to anyone but very dim.

Seems like they are searching for something or perhaps

Picking something up or dropping something off.

Idk.

I can show you thousands of other satellites too. They're not kites, my pictures are real.

:Ohlook:

You can see them with your own eyes if you go out into the country on a clear night.

That would involve the OP leaving his mom's basement.

here is what they don't look like...

Quite right, they don't look like that. Nor do they look like this:

That is not ISS, that is not what ISS looks like from a ground based amateur telescope. Yet that was one of the first images of ISS JLW produced to try to prove that he can track satellites. It was his "positive control." This is what ISS actually looks like:

When confronted about his inability to provide recognizable images of known satellites like ISS, he produced this image:

Great image, just one problem. It's not his. He stole that picture from a real satellite tracker, Paul Rix.

My area has been refreshed on Google Earth many times in the last two years and there have been vehicle changes in my drive way that are shown in the sat view. Are you saying they keep track of every square foot of the earth then come back and change the CGI to match? How would they do that if they didn't have sat images because my driveway is obscured from the road and it's over a mile long?

Are you proposing they do fly overs by airplane over every square foot of the US?
