If a strictly linguistic point of view, each strange object photographed in space is really a UFO (Unidentified Flying Object), often just a frame launched from the International Space Station (ISS) to unleash fantasy of ufologists and conspiracy theorists around the world.
It happens so that the American astronaut Scott Kelly elects to return one strange body , passed near the ISS November 13 last, to attend the usual tam tam media and its alleged evidence of the existence of an alien civilization , among other particularly advanced in the field of spacecraft and obviously devoted to equip its vehicles inevitable shape disc steering wheel.
The body photographed by Kelly who made the around the world thanks to Twitter and its immense evocative power, is actually a portion of the same Space Station wrapped in a special play of light and and shadows that makes up the frame, rather like those strange ships painted by a vast literature of science fiction mold.
The particular effect, called in jargon Topo Gigio , since the doll was moving also in a penumbra built to make it look real, has therefore meant that film flight System High-Definition Earth Viewing, installed on the Columbus module of the ISS was mistaken, by a public unaccustomed to the vagaries space, with a disc steering wheel and the poor Kelly , passed the initial euphoria socialite, was even charged with concealing some secret on behalf of NASA, the CIA and all those who keep for decades the “evidence” of the existence of a life beyond the planet Earth.
Just to give further explanations, the offending photo was taken at about 400 km above the Earth , over India, while the vehicle was passing a speed of 28,800 kilometers per hour, in the presence of conditions that make possi ble the creation of a genuine photographic masterpieces, easily exchangeable for UFOs, even if only from a point of view related to etymology and linguistic spheres.
