Mr. Lenard,




Someone sent me similar images about 6 months ago, they're military classified human spaceflight.




Johnson Space Center require large elaborate spacecraft to get them where they need to go.

Hi J




my work address is perfectly safe, thanks.




I wouldn't worry too much about Nasa restricting you or your information.

They are a civilian agency, and astronomers work with them all the time.

Many of my colleagues are indeed nasa staff.




There is of course nothing like posting stuff on the internet if you do

feel restricted.

Hi John,




thank you for the moon images: once again they show that you are an

excellent photographer.




There are of course many satellites in orbit, only a few of which are

anything to do with JPL, but these are readily seen by

astro-photographers like yourself all over the world.




You should just enjoy the excellence of your images, and make them

available as widely as is possible, through the public web-sites,

magazines, etc, so you can get the credit you deserve for your skills.




best regards


How Many Known Satellites Are In Orbit? How Much 'Junk'?




Walson received the following comment about one of the videos. Does it answer all the questions? No, but perhaps some of them...

Hello again,




and again my congratulations on your superb astrophotography




You are clearly getting some images at almost the diffraction limit of

your telescope. In the very sharpest images there are hints of diffraction

rings visible on the edges of the satellites. That is of course the

absolute limit of optical performance, and is only rarely attained.

You might also be interested in a journal produced by the

MIT Lincoln Laboratory - which is the group which has built some of the

things you are seeing. Much of what they do is what used to be the

Star wars project, which no doubt involves some of your objects. They

don't talk about the military satellites,

of course, but there are many dicussions of earth surveillance, and

related issues. It is distributed only to academic organisations, so

you may need to get your local library to borrow it, but you

may be able to get this (for free) from

    No, it's great. It looks like you are getting "closer" to the craft. And I like the design of your water mark.

  • @romo502 debunk?

  • it looks to be some kind of propulsion-like flying object. I wouldn't be surprised if we humans are doing interstellar travel already.

  • Excellent! Do use a hc1 camcorder John? thanks.

  • i never seen anthing ike this, but it looks like some kind of water fish?

  • @JohnLenardWalson fantastic!  It must be huge!

  • @knetterfreak666

    I agree.

  • @romo502  ............dyslexia

  • i think they have mastered the art of magnetism and its ability to defy gravity

  • @JohnLenardWalson I was correcting his spelling ( romo 502) I think that`s what he ment to say .
