Zero Zero UFO

[LordFerret]

I've only seen them during launch (the puff balls), they appear for me right about the time the ship goes supersonic (>300m/s). Other than that, I've never seen them ... you guys must be trying to perpetrate a hoax. lol

I started this just for amusement, but it has become more interesting than I thought. I'll try to get some puffball pics. I literally have had them on every rocket launch from the first time I played KSP. The UFO's are new and one time only for me.

Red Shirt,

They're the same thing. Squad didn't put them there intentionally, they just show up at the same places. Notice when the "wake angel" appears in my shuttle launch; right at 6.8 km altitude and approaching Mach 1. I happened to catch that one as I was photographing the SRB sep.

Since (at least in my case) the light sources behave the same way as the puffballs and both are particle effects, I assume they're the result of the same mechanism.

Best,

A couple pics of a "wake angel" trapped in the runway:

I have seen these before but never what the op is describing.

Is it a forgotten emissive? Broken normal map? Graphical anomaly? Z-fighting with a foo fighter? Find out next time on Anchient Kaliens

KSP Aliens?

[MedwedianPresident]

THEY ARE HERE! THEY ARE GOING TO INVADE KERBIN! THEY ARE GOING TO POPULATE KERBIN WITH HYBRIDS! *gets pulled off by Kerbals in Black*

Have you tried poking it with a stick?

If that doesn't work, try turning it off and on again, that fixes most universe glitches.

I hate to say it, but I don't think I've experienced wake angels before. I know Ive seen the forward smoke puffs, but not the white ovals. Though I must say I am now inclined to Photoshop white ovals onto several of my KSP screenshots.

noname117,

I've never seen the white ovals either. That seems to be a different phenomenon than the "wake angels". Mine are disembodied light sources; glowing white transparent spheres.

My UFO's look like launch clamps.

[LitaAlto]

*edit* LitaAlto,

Mine look way different from that. Mine look like what Vaporo shows.

And mine look like Red Shirt's. Go figure.

(Seriously, though, hoping you figure it out!)
