UFO over Stockholm

Posted by Jason Kravitz (Brussels, Belgium) on 31 March 2008 in Cityscape & Urban.

Behrooz suggested a theme for today in honor of the passing of writer and great thinker Arthur C. Clarke.

I took a series of 4 photos in Stockholm Sweden last summer at around 1am. The first 3 had these strange green lights. Normally I would suspect it was caused by the street lamps at the bottom of the frame although oddly, each of the 4 photos, the green lights move from the center of the frame to the edges and my camera was relatively in the same place (I would think the light artifacts would be in roughly the same place too if that were the case).

In the last frame (not displayed), the green lights are gone. Here are two of the four shots of my unexplained green objects.

Creepy! Couldn't it be airplanes? I notice also a slight halo around the most right ufo on the top picture. Did you select the area around it to make it sharper by photoshop? Maybe you should remove it because it raises suspicion that you pasted it into the picture. The other two lights seem very original. Thanks for sharing!

Some may say it's not possible, but the truth is, we don't know. And our lack of knowledge cannot deny their existence. The fact is that based on current statistics of the number of stars and planets in the universe, there's a good probability of existence of 4 million planets just like the Earth.

To me, it defies the imagination to suggest that we are "alone" in the universe. Great shot of these unidentified objects!

Yeah, when I first saw this post, it was like Deja-vu. Then after I read the description, it became clear.

Whoo! Spoooky!

"Sometimes he would get seized with oddly distracted moods and stare into the sky as if hypnotized until someone asked him what he was doing. Then he would start guiltily for a moment, relax and grin.
'Oh, just looking for flying saucers,' he would joke, and everyone would laugh and ask him what sort of flying saucers he was looking for.
'Green ones!' he would reply with a wicked grin, laugh wildly for a moment and then suddenly lunge for the nearest bar and buy an enormous round of drinks."
(Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Ballantine Books, p. 11)
They could have been controlling if Earth is ready to face some yellow bulldozers. … Oh, wrong story.

Great! You "wed" Clarke and Adams. ;D

Those are really interesting light phenomenons. However, to be a total poop, it looks like the clock tower rotates... could it possibly be from that? Otherwise, I'm up for the unknown factor!

Very strange indeed. A very cool capture Jason.

Disc shape objects... 1 in the morning? It has to be an UFO, no doubt. Unless your 20d and the lens is busted, I don't think it is capable of an optical anomaly like this. Good capture.
