(Streetlight)
It's a streetlight. At Fark.com, my favorite website, the talkbacks can get legendary. There's nothing like getting the minds of thousands of snarky geeks involved on the same topic.
Yesterday, someone thought they had photographed a UFO. The talkback grew into a gigantic comedy festival...
(almost as legendary as the 'ballsack conundrum' of 04/17/06)
[update 02/19/07 05:41pm Wil Wheaton, t.v.'s Wesley Crusher and modern-day internet phenom, has added the talkback to his blog:
there are four lights (but we really only care about one)]
[update 02/20/07 8:41pm - Now there's a follow up thread:
It IS a streetlight. Surprising that NONE of you knew. I am an Idiot -- forked_at_fark

Looks like an aerostat.
Daylight photo.
Not only is it a streetlight, a couple Farkers think they've pinpointed the exact light in daylight pictures taken from the same location - dimly visible windows and tree branches in the original photo line up on the house.
I can't believe how stubborn she is.
I Want To Believe.
Can't you see, your claims of it being a streetlight are making the baby UFO cry! Those are tears of sadness for being accused of such a thing!
I think the whole photo was produced on a back stage lot because nobody really has the technology capability of actually photographing a dim street light.
