Title: Unknown Objects over Plant 42 Palmdale
Post by: SDAztec25 on June 24, 2010, 07:30:04 PM
I was out in Palmdale on Saturday the 5th of June and noticed strange objects floating and tumbling in the sky. There were about 8 of them total. First one comes into the frame at about 55 seconds.

Looks like trash caught up in a thermal. :)

Agree, it's trash. For those not in the AV, during the hot months, we have dust devils all the time...and usually they've got pretty intense tornado-like vortices. Way cool to watch them snake into the sky, but they do pick up an awful lot of trash. It's just life in the well-littered desert....
