It looks like someone made a joke linking recent news about discontinue SETI program and that video with “space ship”.
Here’s more recent video:

According to our traffic jump, the news caused nation-wide paranoia. Wow, the power of mass media!

3 very large object flying to the Earth

The length of the “flying saucers” – tens of kilometers. We(SETI) just have to tell: three very large object flying towards our planet. Landing, according to calculations of scientists, held in mid-December 2012. Date coincides with the end of the Mayan calendar.

Concerned about the management of SETI (the project on Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) issued a statement whose meaning is placed in the name of the sci-fi thriller “Alien invasion”.

- A few very large objects rapidly approaching the Earth – says astrophysicist Craig Kasnov. – You can verify this!

He recommends to go to a map Space site sky-map.org and enter the coordinates of the giant UFO:
19 25 12 -89 46 03 – the first large object
16 19 35 -88 43 10 – a cylindrical object
02 26 39 -89 43 13 – the object as a circle
The project participants are assured that the facilities are absolutely real, and the American space agency NASA is trying to conceal important information.

Post scientists immediately divided the earthlings into two opposing camps. Some believe that these ships are flying save humanity from the terrible calamities that can happen on Earth in a short time, others are preparing to star wars.

- In any case, the only thing we can do now – wait for it – says Kasnov. – Soon celestial objects will be visible in a good telescope”

Here’s one of the article

I don’t know about SETI’s claim on space ships, but I can assure you that what you can find on DSS here is mostly telescopes, photographic plates and image processing defects.

DSS all sky survey is a digitized version of two half sky surveys that took place about 30 years ago. The original surveys were taken on photographic plates (there wasn’t digital photography back then, well, at least not in that massive form as we see it today). About 10 years ago the plates had been scanned and digitized. The process probably introduced artifacts like scratches and dust in addition to telescope reflection and photo plates defect artifacts.

What I want to say is anything suspicious you find here on DSS survey must have explanation without involving little green creatures.

The major addition is new SkyBrowser interface (still in beta). For now it is available as alternative view accessible from buttons row (see first button with white rectangle on it). But eventually it will replace front page’s sky browser.

Example of SkyWindow Ver.2 URL here

New sky browser also available as embedded window API, i.e.:
Select position: here
or in-page sky window: here

There two words often are the first words a newborn computer program speaks in hands of a newborn computer programmer. I still remember time when my “Hello World” program looked something like:

 10 PRINT "HELLO WORLD"
 20 END

Well, here I am again. Now in role of newbie blogger
