Object in ISS: Sunlight to Shadow (28 Feb 2008) BSoD

In addition to the aircraft in this picture, there is another object moving in the sky - starts in lower middle and moves down off the bottom of the clip. Doesn't look like a plane?

BSoD: Did it happened to you?

Post by Run Duke » Thu Feb 28, 2008 5:29 pm

Hi, when I clicked on the black arrow on February 28 pic. (ISS: Sunlight To Shadow) my computer gave me the BDS ( Blue Death Screen) it happened using Firefox and Windows Explorer. It seems that my graphic card driver was involve but my computer is working fine except this event. So did this happened to others ? I'd like to know.
Thanks.

My OS doesn't have a BSoD 'feature', but I don't think I've encountered such a large frame size MPEG-1 file before (1280x864 px). It played fine, though, both in a web browser window and in media player applications.

I think I see it. Just left of the tree? Disappears before the aircraft gets there?

I actually see 4-the one at the bottom, one on the left at the end, one on the right at the beginning, one in the middle next to the tree going down at the beginning.

Perhaps a polar orbit satellite?

Yes, I see five objects total. In addition to the ISS and the airplane, there seem to be three other satellites. It's a busy sky. 30 years ago it was a treat to see any at all. Now they're everywhere! :shock:
