There was a surprising amount of buzz generated last week about pink UFOs showing up in Google Street View.

The first pink UFO was reported by Andrea Dove who contacted KLTV, the ABC affiliate in East Texas. She explained that, while using Google Maps to get directions to visit a relative in Jacksonville, Texas, she spotted a UFO while using the Street View option. The shape of this pink UFO resembles a classic flying saucer. ABC News reported a similar pink UFO visible on Google Street View, but approximately one-thousand miles away in Acoma Pueblo, New Mexico.

Do these incidents indicate a new variation on a classic UFO, or is there a simpler explanation for these pink flying saucers?

Photo-video analyst Marc D’Antonio told Huffington Post journalist Lee Speigel that he believes these pink UFOs are simply lens flare resulting from the camera’s location in relation to the sun’s position.

People all over the world have detected UFOs using Google Street View practically since the service was launched in 2007. One such example was reported by the Daily Telegraph and other Australian media outlets in 2008. A reader contacted the Daily Telegraph to report the discovery of a UFO over Sydney on Google Street View. Its appearance? A pink flying saucer strikingly similar to the ones reported last week.

Although strange in appearance, these pink UFOs are likely “simple, but classic, lens flare,” as D’Antonio explained to Speigel.

  • Some of those are more obviously lens flare than others.

    Of course,
    it would not be opitically hard to shield a craft to make it have that effect and not actually have invisibility.

    So also say some about the strange lenticular cloud activity often
    observed in the past few decades.

    As for craft or visitors,
    if they endorse this global regime,
    I don’t trust them.

    It should be obvious to any objective observer that those that rule this world
    do not care for nor in any way represent the masses of its population.

    Anything that perpetuates or enables the stagnant quo(or worse)
    is not helping.

    Tyranny is still tyranny even when the iron fist is veiled within
    the velvet glove…
