Hmmm, I kept waiting for it to take a wicked left or go vertical in a split second .... but it seemed on a path like a meteor would ... (like the music though :P)

Probably not a meteor--moving too slowly. Whatever it was was burning up pretty good though. It looked like it lost a chunk of mass in the middle of the video. I'd guess some sort of rocket debris.

Yeah, heard about that. Hangzhou's about 1.5 hours away from here by train (depending on which train you take). Some of the pictures are pretty interesting:

I seem to recall hearing that it had something to do with military exercises. (Read: It was a weather balloon). My inner X-Files geek will always hope that these things are more than they are....

I've never seen a meteor moving that slow or moving along without losing altitude! What looked like a loss of mass to you looked like a stage rocket or a "ship" dropping off a probe to me!

That picture is very clearly a long exposure of an airplane moving right to left. I've taken similar pictures.

The continuous white streak is the landing lights, which are visibly reflected ahead by the haze. The red streak is the port side navigation light. The dots are strobes that are only lit for very brief instants during the exposure.

I'm pretty sure that picture is not of the same aircraft as the video, however. Actually, it looks very much like a rocket launch. I've watched a few, including under similar lighting. The plume expands very rapidly once the atmosphere thins out (the exhaust can move over a mile per second). The recently set sun doesn't light the ground, but it easily catches the high altitude rocket exhaust and makes it look pretty impressive.

Plus, looking on a map, the main Chinese launch center is due west of that airport, although I would have thought the Chinese learned their lesson about launching rockets over populated areas after the IntelSat 708 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelsat_708) launcher crashed and killed 57 people.

Somebody editing wikipedia seems to agree:

I've taken similar pictures.If that was the case, the windows would also be smeared lines like the light at the bottom of the plane. They would not be distinct pinpoint circles. Unless the windows were stationary and the bottom was moving...

Nah, it's the aliens picking up their new iPhone 4s directly from the manufacturer.

Some more close-ups in this video. Definitely looks like they're beaming something up or down...

I'm not sure what you mean by windows? The pinpricks of light are strobes on the wings.

That slideshow has a lot of different pictures that don't appear to be off the same object. I think most of them are long exposures of helicopters pointing searchlights at the ground.

Although aliens coming for an iPhone sounds pretty plausible. Was there an increase in UFO sightings after the iPad debut, too?

(sorry...I'm not very good at playing along)

Here's one of my UFO pictures. I don't remember if it was a 737 or an MD-80, so I'll have to classify it as an unidentified flying object.

Looks like a multi-stage rocket launch at dusk. The sky is dark, the sun is not visible, but the rocket is high enough that it's getting lit up by the sun along with it's exhaust trail. Happens all the time when they launch rockets out of Vandenberg AFB here in California. They always seem to launch them at the perfect time to freak people out. I actually got to see one afew years ago when I was coming out of the mall in the evening and happened to glance up and catch the rocket streaking by overhead.

Well it's all very clear to me. It's the Argo. But the Argo didn't "beam" stuff up. That's all sci-fi make-believe.:rolleyes: They used rocket propelled anchors.

They used an engine capable of riding tachyon waves. (I haven't seen that show since I was 5 years old, but for some reason that always blew my little mind.)

Great image, that is very, very, cool. Thanks for sharing it with us.

On a side note: So are you an alien? How do you like the iphone we gave to you to keep you from destroying our planet?

Thanks for the comment.

No I'm not an alien, but I have some friends who work at a Dell tech support center who are. They think a couple of applications are pretty cool, but their skin mucous leaves a film on the touch screen. On the plus side, the mucous actually helps with the reception problems earthlings are having. You can't complain about getting 4 bars on Mars.
