BellaOnline Forums Education Astronomy Fox News finds UFO over New York (It's Jupiter)

A news reporter is standing on a street in New York City, because people had been seeing strange things in the sky (bunches of those silvery balloons). There's still something in the sky. She asks, excitedly, "Do you see the white thing? To me that looks like a star." Yeah, kinda.

She continues, " Looks like nothing to report. You're probably saying at home, 'Fool, that IS nothing.'" I didn't think it was nothing. It looked a whole lot like Jupiter, especially when they turned the camera on it and you could also see the four Galilean moons.

If you can access YouTube, you can see the planet and four moons at about time 0:30 and again about 1:00 at UFO over Manhatten?

Astronomer Phil Plait used a planetarium program to show how Jupiter would have looked at the time of the "news" report:

Thanks for the info - interesting indeed
