When you think of fog, you think of a blanket, but NOAA’s GOES-14 satellite saw a ring of fog over the southwestern U.S. on Oct. 4.

Fog is water that has condensed close to ground level, producing a cloud of very small droplets that reduces visibility to less than one kilometer (three thousand and three hundred feet), according to the National Weather Service.

The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES-14) captured an image of a giant circle of fog near the Texas Panhandle on Oct. 4 at 1430 UTC (9:30 a.m. CDT). “Morning fog surrounded the great mesa in northwestern Texas and eastern New Mexico known as the ‘ “Llano Estacado,” which is one of the largest mesas on the North American continent, and about the size of Indiana,” said Dennis Chesters of the Mesoscale Atmospheric Processes Laboratory at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md.

GOES is operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The image was created by NASA’s GOES Project, located at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md.

    Wow no bible thumping copy pasting religious psychos have attributed this to their imaginary friend yet that is amazing!! Surely it has to be predicted in the ‘bible’, a compilation of utter nonsense that has no literary value whatsoever. If it was written by a Man, it is flawed and prone to superstition. :evil: :evil: :evil:

    • So that would therefore also apply,of course,
      to all “scientific” writings,as well-
      since they too,were “written by a Man…flawed and prone to superstition.”

      As Sir Issac Newton might have said,
      “The difference is found in superior editing,
      concerning the Divine.”

  • Come on! This is news WHY? It’s FOG! Some of these articles need to be screened before display. Geesh.

  • Including your comment.

  • That is not the Texas panhandle! That sat view is on the Gulf of Mexico just west Matagorda Bay! The didn’t do much research on this one. Must be a slow news day. :cool:

  • Cheap swing man. Inappropriate.

  • Please note this is not fog but the residue of geo-engineering activity, the cloud formation clearly shows chemtrail lines and HAARP activity, in fact I would guess that a HAARP burst has been focused on this cloud mass and the residual you are seeing here is the “Sky Punch” hole from overheated cloud evaporating…dont be fooled Google Chemtrails – HAARP – Sky Punch NOAA are lying to you this is utter complete disinformation – WAKE UP!!!

  • Yes. San Diego County had the worst “fog” and chemtrail activity in the past five days than I ever remember. Creepy and very unreal “cloud” formations. Everyone kind of edgy too.
