I think that the lack of a shadow from a plume that bright AND the fact it looks nothing like a plume on the non-obfuskated image, just a near linear conspiracy of bright features.


This is a nightime IR image of a trough near the one we're talking about... in fact, it may be the same one, though not the same location. There could be some anomalous heat sources in the image. I can't tell. Can you?


I neither claim or have experience in analyzing THEMIS images/data. For all I know, a nuke went off over the bottom portion of the strip.

Your link was no good, this worked though.
