- Sunday October 26, a dutch couple went for a walk in
Westerbork. They also walked on the so-called Milky Way path along the
Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT). Around 2:45pm the man took
several pictures of the Radio Telescopes, with an interval of approx. 5
min. He didn't see anything unusual untill he looked back at the pictures
the next day. On one picture of the first Radio Telescope he noticed a
strange object.
-
- "It can be correlated to the fact, that i was determined
to get a good image of the Radio Telescope, while my camera has some problems
with focussing," he said. "Only when i looked at the pictures
yesterday, i noticed that there was 'something strange' on it."
-
- A digital camera, Medion SX 410z, was used with 4,1 megapixel.
He used the highest resolution 2272x1704. We verified, that the picture
came directly out of the camera. When you zoom in on the picture, you can
see that the object has a clear structure. I think we can easily rule out
the possibilities, that this object is a bird, plane, satellite or what
so ever.

- The WSRT (Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope) is an
aperture synthesis interferometer that consists of a linear array of 14
antennas arranged on a 2.7 km East-West line. The WSRT has contributed
considerably to radio astronomical research during its nearly 30 years
of existence. As one of the earliest array antennas, the WSRT helped to
map neutral hydrogen in nearby galaxies, to study the neutral hydrogen
distribution in our Galaxy, to find and study giant radio galaxies, and
more recently to help identify gamma-ray sources.
-
- The WSRT consists of 14 dish-shaped antennas, each with
a diameter of 25 m. These antennas can be individually directed at any
point on the sky. Ten of the dishes have a fixed location, while two at
the eastern end of the array can be moved on rails. 1.4 km to the east
is a second pair of movable dishes on rails.
-
-
- The WSRT is situated in a park near the village of Westerbork
and near the area that was a transportation camp during World War II. The
array can be visited and can be reached by a path from approx. 2 km that
starts from the parking place of the Visitor Center of the camp The Milky
Way path leads to the beginning of the array (and not too far from the
Camp's Memorial). Along the path, a scaled-down version of the solar system
can be seen with and a number of signs with descriptions of the planets.

- The ASTRON Radio Telescope in Westerbork is, after an
upgrade that took 12 years and was recently completed, one of the best
of the world. It has the most sensitive receivers in the world, together
with an extraordinary advanced data processing system, according to a dutch
website. The NASA requested Westerbork some time ago to search for the
missing Mars Polar Lander.
-
- I've read some articles about UFO's seen at military
installations, radar stations etc. Maybe the ET's are also interested in
Radio Telescopes... well we can only speculate... for now.
