Space Shuttle Atlantis Storm

[Harry Deano]

During a recent lecture, my professor discussed the incident during which the astronauts aboard the Atlantis space shuttle reported seeing strange symbols in the haze and storm clouds that prevented them from landing for nearly three days. After the lecture, I took copies of the images, reversed the colors & discovered something amazing! The shapes of the images nearly precisely resemble shapes found in Baphomet lore.

looks like a logarithmic spiral to me, considering that alot of storms follow such a pattern its not surprising that the lightning also occured in such a pattern.

 

also it should be known that the name baphomat is supposed to be a corruption of one of several islamic words, most notably that of the name muhammed. The first recorded use of the word was during the inquisition of the knights templar, where a number of knights were tortured into confessing worship of some figure, although the figure varied wildly between descriptions. From that of a severed head to three heads to a goat etc.

Wow, I totally remember hearing about this in a lecture too..the astronauts were asked to draw these symbols they saw & the astronauts drew rudimentary shapes... are there any more links on this?

[insane_alien]

i can find no mention of this anywhere either from the official NASA site, various news sites(even ones with particularly dubious accuracy ratings) and various shuttle conspiracy sites known to link every mission with the occult.

 

the closest thing i could find was a photograph of the vapourtrail sometime after the launch that looked really cool. http://stormvideographer.com/blog/2007/06/10/strange-sts-117-atlantis-cloud-smoke-left-overs/

 

provide some substantiation that i may have missed from a reliable source and then we'll discuss this more.

 

otherwise its just two unsourced(probably drawn by you) images that may or may not have anything to do with a shuttle mission.

 

and anyway, people see stuff in the clouds all the time. ever lay down on the ground as a kid looking at the sky and spotting clouds that looked like objects or people?

[CPL.Luke]

eddyjones seems to be quoting from the op's website.... probably a second account

[insane_alien]

that was my first thought as well but i decided to ignore it

[Sisyphus]

Shouldn't this be moved to pseudoscience? Shouldn't the sock puppeteer be banned?

[insane_alien]

or just deleted as it has less factual accuracy than a creationist on LSD.

If you search 'Atlantis + Baphomet' in Google you just come up with a bunch of forum threads that always start with 'in a recent lecture, a professor said...'

 

This is probably some crude tactic to make us believe there is some legitimacy to the claim...but this guy obviously came to the wrong forum to say this. LOL.

[insane_alien]

of course he did. someone will always try to find the source. if even the more crackpot sites aren't sowing something like this up then the chances are its a load of bs. so much so the idiots don't even believe it.

[Sayonara]

...and as we all know, natural phenomena mimic human representations, and not the other way around.

[rfergeson]

still an interesting site, nonetheless, baphomet posts pretty interesting inofthemselves.

[Sisyphus]

Haha. Please nobody go to this site and give this guy traffic.

[CPL.Luke]

alright the sockpuppets really need to be stopped, they are getting to be very annoying

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

And the guy's not even bothering to us different IPs for each account.

 

Well, I suppose it just makes it easier.

[Pen]

I agree with your conclusions about the veracity of the OP. As to this part:

the closest thing i could find was a photograph of the vapourtrail sometime after the launch that looked really cool. http://stormvideographer.com/blog/20...ke-left-overs/

I live close enough to Vandenberg AFB in California, and when there is a launch near dusk, it is common to see similar patterns as the exhaust trail is bent around by winds at different altitudes and velocities.

[insane_alien]

yeah i know what cause it. just remarking on the coolness.
