September 03, 1993, Earth Orbit - METEOSAT photo In 1991, the
New York State Physics teacher Philip J. Imbrogno discovered
that meteorological satellites sometimes send strange images
down to Earth. He published several of these images, received
from the geosynchronous GOES-Satellites of NOAA, which show egg-
shaped objects in the Earth Orbit. Critics immediately came up
with an explanation: According to them, they were mere
"moonshadows". This explanation was maybe acceptable when the
first images showed no details. But after Chilean researchers
published photos of a structured saturn-shaped craft of 400-600
feet in diameter, it immediately collapsed. Meanwhile, Italian
researcher Adriano Forgione published this image, received by
the Italian radio amateur Vittorio Orlando on September 3, 1993
at 6.30 p.m. from the METEOSAT weather satellite, stationed in
an altitude of 95.000 feet. In the original as well as in the
enlargement, a dome and a surrounding ring are clearly visible.
Another moonshadow? Or indeed
