HUNTSVILLE, Alabama – Whatever Tuesday’s Redstone radar blob was, it was unlike anything most professional radar watchers have ever seen. Speculation has centered on secret defense testing at Redstone Arsenal, and the University of Alabama in Huntsville has said it has found feathery pieces of fiberglass near the area. All this has led Huntsville scientists to be discreet in their public speculation so far in deference to national security. But they are shedding more light on an event that exploded on radar like a thunderstorm, spread nearly 10 miles wide and a mile high, and lasted for nine hours – all while being virtually invisible to the naked eye.

How odd!

Conspiracy nuts will love that, something for everyone. But it would be nice to find out what was going on.

you could introduce metal filings into water and then spray it

if you detonated the metallic water mix or maybe carbon fibre dust high in the atmosphere it would possibly create a blob on radar

well…… I guess theres only one way of finding out

you could probably use an artillery shell to do this?

the shell just trails out the mix as it flies through the air

No, not for a radar return about 15 km wide.

Was it just one radar? Machine error. Or maybe the Chinese are hacking in and introducing false images.

I’ll be going with,,,,,, “Newman!!!!!”

Well to be fair, it would depend on how big the shell & gun is.
If the barrel of the gun was 15 km, then the mystery may well be solved. It would, however, be very difficult to hide such a weapon.

Interesting time lapse 3-D. It seems to come up from ground level

Could something like this be described as an anomalous mass concentration?

Okay that’s fairly damming evidence against it being a gun with a 15 km diameter barrel.

pfft, an obvious cover story. Why don’t they tell us what is REALLLY going on!!!!!

Would this scale be functional for an incendiary based projectile?

That was over 4 hours of radar in those 16 seconds. I could throw a brick faster.

maybe you’d have more than one shell or missile?

ECM is about it pointing at a radar and make it think there at lots of objects

maybe they are trying something out before they attack iran or Syria?

and once then attack them they can find someone else to attack?

It was a flying swarm of goats wearing alfoil hats.

(Thought compelled to offer a sensible alternative to the Wookster report)

This appears to be … the work .. of……..

that’s big.

I’d have thought that wookiemeister would be frothing on about PRISM by now.

old news friend

And then we have the Newcastle radar string…

http://www.oscilmet.com.au/?page=loops.main&radar=042&numberofImages=30&dateStart=1370914200&dateFinish=1370921400

So what do we reckon caused that? Same “chaff” stuff, thrown out of a plane?

it could be a rocket trail of something that didn’t quite go well

Dunno, it’s an odd one but most likely just a quirk of the interpretation software.

Or aliens.
