UFO Ghost Rockets

[freespirit]

Shortly after I created my Youtube account back in 2007, I began collecting videos with these Ghost Rockets, also known as “Balls of fire”, and found they were still seen today all over the world. If some of them are actually airplanes, I don´t know, but there is indeed some weird trails here. I made a few examples on my blog alienspacecentereast where I compare the Ghost Rockets with ordinary contrails, and the weird difference is, that the Ghost Rocket trails have no visible airplanes in front of them, but the ordinary contrails have, read more here: The UFO Ghost Rocket Mystery

Hi freespirit, welcome to the forum.

Did you ever consider the possibility that these "Ball of Fire" are indeed Balls of Fire? As in, meteorites burning up in the atmosphere. There seem to be ever more of them lately, also see: Fire in the Sky on SOTT.net

Of course, we should consider that possibility, but if they are rocks falling through the atmosphere, I would think it´s quite big rocks, and they would crash somewhere, but they never find a piece of it. They seem to just pass through the atmosphere and disappear...

another possibility of why you can't see the planes before the contrails is the light reflection issue and your point of view while looking at it and how accurate the camera is capturing what it is you are seeing in the sky.

the UFO hypotheses (in the Alien sense) doesn't necessarily have to be the case here.
often things that are thought of as being UFO's (in the Alien sense) are nothing Alien at all and can be explained pretty good rationally.

Hi, freespirit. Welcome to the forum. :)

I noticed that you've not made an intro post. It's recommended and customary for new members to post an intro in the Newbies forum http://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/board,39.0.html telling us a little about how the found the forum and how much of the material they've read. This will help other members know where you're coming from and help interact.

If you want, you can take a look at how others have done it.

I agree with this assessment. Airplanes have a reflective surface and depending on the angles of your viewpoint and the sun you may not see them at all. For example, when the sun is somewhere behind the plane, relative to you, you would not see the shadowy bottom of the plane at all since the blue atmosphere makes it disappear. This is also why you cannot see the dark areas of the moon during daytime -- they just are blue. Notice also that the "ghost rockets" seem to only appear at sunset -- maybe only when the angle to the sun is correct? Plus, they always have two exhaust streaks, like airplanes do.

I would agree that the "modern" version of the ghost rockets are perhaps contrails from jets or meteor activity...but the original versions were reported in 1946 before the jet engine was in wide use (testing of jet / rocket technology captured from the Germans perhaps?)
The photos certainly look a lot like vapor trails I have seen back lit by rising / setting sun-and sometimes there are remnants of the trails and the plane is long gone by the time they are "noticed" -just a thought

That's not true at all.

You're right about one thing though; there appears to be a paranormal aspect to fireballs/meteors/comet fragments:
