UFO Orb Fleet on Google Earth
- An Investigation -
2006.
This investigation is about the UFO Orb fleet discovered on Google Earth in 2005. When I noticed in 2006 that the data has been removed from Google Earth. I tried to document something at least of it (already too late) and did an internet research to find other sources. Thus this is all that remains of this UFO phenomenon.
You can download the original Google Earth kmz files here to see the exact positions: » UfoOrbs1 and » UfoOrbs2 . The numbers I use for UFO Orb ID are according to the first Unidentified_orbs_and_more.kmz file .
There were two seperate UFO Orb fleets noticed - Group 1 in Florida and Group 2 in California. You can watch the California group on this video:

The Florida UFO Orb Fleet consisted of 6 or 8 orbs flying in rectangular formation, presumably following each other just like the military jets flying in this formation.

The California UFO Orb Fleet consisted of 15 orbs flying in two spread out lines following each other, presumably following each other just like the military jets flying in similar formation.

The most interesting feature about UFO Orb 1-6 is that it is "cut in half". This is rather peculiar and most important because it defies the "drop of water or speck on the lens" theory.

The most interesting feature about UFO Orb 2-1 is the "tail" or "scratch" on the left.
It is quite a puzzle, because the scratch appears in the exact same size and position on four sequential Orbs - UFO Orb 2-1 to 2-5, but not the others.
This would support the theory that the scratch is on the camera lens as well as the speck... |

This would support the theory that the scratch is on the camera lens as well as the speck. But if it is so, why is it not on all the other Orb pictures?

Orb (dark) |
» place on map |
The most interesting feature about Orb 2-4 is that it is "transparent". It clearly reflects the blue water beneath it.
It seems as if the UFO would use some kind of "transparency cloacking device" and would disguise itself with the colors beneath. This could also explain what we see in the case of UFO Orb 1-6.

» place on map |
|
The most interesting feature about UFO Orb 3-2 is the "probe" heading away from the UFO orb on the right leaving a "trail".
It seems as if a probe was launched from the Orb as a kind of scout heading towards the human habitats to the right...
Or what a heck is it???

Another source I found about possible classification of the California Ufo Orb Fleet is somewhat different. I could not identify all orbs, but it clearly lists much of the same phenomena.
# mountain jack Says (May 22nd, 2005 at 3:59 am):
To summarize the California data found to date, there are 21 aparently related artifacts in an East-West line stretching about 0.65 degrees of longitude, or 35.5 miles, from Glendora to San Bernardino. The maximum North-South displacement from the East-West line is 0.08 degrees of latitude, or about 1500 ft. There are three types of objects, a blurry blue orb and two curved lines, called commas and pigtails. The curved lines are clearly due to dust or scratches on the scanner or camera lens, whereas the orbs appear to be digitally added to the pictures. The artifacts repeat every 2.75 miles, indicating that the scanner/camera took pictures about that wide which were digitally stitched together to make a world-wide composite.
I don't think the orbs are a digital adition for composite, since the Florida Orb Fleet has the same orbs, but in a different formation.
The 21 artifacts can be divided into 3 groups as follows:

Average spacing between objects: 2.73 miles. The spacing between the first two objects is 3 times the average spacing, and between the second and third objects is twice the average. No artifacts were found at the intermediate locations, probably due to the difficulty of picking out the commas from the background. |

Group B is offset from Group A to the West by about 1100 feet, and group C is offset from Group B by another 2500 feet to the West.
The commas and pigtails are clearly extraneous, and the orbs are not part of the real pictures because of their regular spacing, the fact that their shading in many cases is opposite to that of objects on the ground, and because their fuzziness is not duplicated in any of the objects seen on the ground. I suspect that the orbs are digitally added markers related to the stitching or to mark areas that need cleanup. Hopefully, Google or the company that prepared the images will let us know why the orbs are in the pictures.
Some final conclusions still to come...
