Check out the flying saucers I caught with my digital camera. heh

This photo was taken in either Utah or Nevada from a train in the morning at sunrise. The 'discs' are the reflections of the train car's interior ceiling lights against the window.

The lighting conditions must be rather precise in order to produce this effect. Had it been several minutes later, or earlier, the lighting conditions would have been too bright or too dark to produce such a 'seemless' imposition of the reflection in the photo.

I seen UFOs! Now if I could only get them to stop abducting and probing me.... :confused:

Wow! Very interesting! The lights mesh with the clouds very well and look very integrated... Heh!

Stop having such a cute little ass.

Of course, if those were real you'd still call them reflected lights. Remember, you see only what you believe. Only he who is without faith perceives that small spectrum that's open to our senses.
