_Aramchek_ Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I saw something similar on the surface of kerbin while flying a plane.I think it's just a glitch in the lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy521 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 This is not the thread to ask about the 0.17 release date (or any thread for that matter). Also, if you're going to ask for UFO's in 0.17, go to the suggestions forum.I hate to ask but, what? He doesn't say anything you've claimed there and it has me very confused.

halocon720 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I just observed a pecular phenomena of similar appearance.In my case, I was orbiting Kerbin. Two identical craft within 1KM of each other, as I attempted to rendevous them and use a docking mod I picked up a little while ago.What I saw was a single pixel that went from just above the edge of kerbin across almost to the left edge of the screen, then doubled back before going upward and vanishing. I don't think KSP has provision for shooting stars or any of that- and even if it did I was in a stable 100km orbit, too high for such phenomena to be visible.Initially my thoughts on this thread were that the GPU memory had simply glitched a couple pixels, but seeing a similar blip that was actively moving I am not at all convinced that is the case anymore.Whatever it is though, it is probably a warning sign of a software issue that we have yet to identify the source of. That or it is the Kraken itself lurking in the darkness, waiting for a ship that flies too far away from Kerbin to prey on.That's interesting, Odin, but I have my own theory. Maybe it was one of the devs flying through someone's game and scouting around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziff Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Still a hoax, let it die...Of all the people to post a hoax, AncientAstronaut would be one of the last. Seriously. So I'm going to bring this topic back onto the rails with some observations of my own. It resembles Minmus, but obviously since you checked where Minmus was and then later it disappeared it could not be Minmus. Minmus doesn't exactly disappear. What do you mean by 'Minmus was on the other side of the Mun'? Do you mean that Minmus was behind the camera view? As far as it being a graphical glitch, is it possible that the game was somehow drawing Minmus where it shouldnt have been? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhnifong Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Could it have been a seam in the skybox? I see seams in the planet surface all the time. If the exact color of the pixel matches the ambient lighting color in KSP, it would be pretty strong evidence for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrench Head Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) Before we jump to the UFO conclusion. Have you done and Areal survey of the planet? Mods may have a area 51 base on your system. I saw a nice telescope .craft file we can use to check this better. Whats the coordinates?

zapy97 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 actually i think i have firgured it out,very recently one of my tardises dissapeared and didn't come, but in space where it disapeared there was a radar black spot, which i believe is a hole in the world but the tardis must have drifted through into your reality, well i guess i will need to send a trans-universal ship to retrieve it.

OdinYggd Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 That's interesting, Odin, but I have my own theory. Maybe it was one of the devs flying through someone's game and scouting around!When I was playing it without internet access? The machine I run it on is currently in quarantine due to a possible virus, so it has been completely cutoff from the outside world. Seam in the Skybox seems a likely theory though. I've seen that kind of phenomena on other games- patterns of dots and dashes on terrain features or in the sky where the scenery rendering glitched a seam and allowed the background color or ambient lighting color to show through.

jarratt51 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 It could be some alien artifact. My Minmus station 1 suddenly disappeared one day without a trace.I'm sending a mission to Mun to search for these "anomalies".*edit*With a telescoping hull cam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex_NL Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Darn. Nice necro! How on earth did you find this thread?Did you bother to look at the date before you posted? Last post September 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade Jenkens Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Sweet mother of necro!Edit: Last post was before I even joined the forums in Nov 2012!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specialist290 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I think we can safely say that the info in this thread doesn't really have any bearing on the current state of the game. Therefore, I'm going to close this.On a side note: I've said it before, and I'll say it again: If you see a thread that you suspect has been necro'ed without adding useful, relevant and timely content, use the Report Post function. Don't keep bumping it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
