Rocket and UFO sighting during San Diego concert

Wow, this is truly a bizarre find… We were just sent a link to a story about a rocket launch that took place during last night’s Radiohead show in San Diego. Apparently a photographer who was shooting the concert also spotted a UFO, which he took a photo of. Perhaps the UFO was hoping that Radiohead would play “Subterranean Homesick Alien”?

I am the House Photographer for Viejas Entertainment. Viejas Entertainment was putting on the big sold out Radiohead concert (6/27/06) when just at dusk the rocket launch from Vandenberg (Air Force Base) occurred. All eyes went off the stage and to the sky. While I was watching the rocket I saw a shiny object moving above and apparently way beyond the roof top of the stage. It was not a camera glitch or dirt on the sensor (just had the sensor cleaned a week ago) and you can see that the object was moving and not on the same spot on the photo as the previous shot.
It was not a bird either….it’s hard to tell distances but it seemed to be further and higher then a bird would have been visible. And as I watched it move….it moved not like a bird. Kind of sauntering or floating. Then in an instant….poof….it disappeared! I even have shots of the same scene seconds later and….rocket trail still there but no UFO.
On the close ups it’s clear to see that a flying saucer was watching the launch 😉 And I will say this….that rocket had a top secret payload and spy satellite on it and was the largest rocket ever launched on the West Coast 😉 They’re watching us :-)) Below are 6 photos, including the close ups. Oh I’ve sent along a few shots from the Radiohead concert as well. After watching these guys I can understand why a UFO might be hanging around !! Radiohead is like from another planet !!!

To see the photos, head on over to this site.

So you may have heard the rumors that Radiohead will be playing Chicago again on October 25. We would like to officially squash those rumors and let you know that it is not happening. Yes, there are two sites selling tickets to this “show” but we can assure you that there will be no concert. If you bought tickets, please go back and demand a refund.

On to San Diego

Radiohead wrapped up two amazing shows at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, California and are on their way to San Diego. We have setlists and reviews for both shows at our Gigography which you can check out. If you went to either show, make sure to submit your review.
We got to talk with both Ed and Thom after the final Berkeley show. Both are regular visitors to Green Plastic and Thom even mentioned that the “All I Need” YouTube video we posted was amazingly good. Ed said that while no definite plans had been made for the next album, the band will soon join Nigel Godrich for some sessions. We can’t wait to hear what may come out of those.

Radiohead headed to California

Thom at Bonnaroo
Thom at Bonnaroo
Whew! What a last few days. Radiohead played a marathon set of 28 songs in front of 80,000 people at Bonnaroo last Saturday. According to the reviews sent to us, it was a awesome time. Bonnaroo grossed over $15 million making it the top-grossing festival in the world.
After leaving Tennessee, the band traveled North to Chicago where they played two sold out shows at the Auditorium Theatre. Reviews for the June 19th gig can be found here while last night’s reviews can be found here. Many thanks to everyone that submitted!
Now Radiohead are on the way to California to play the final three stops on their North American tour. First stop will be in our neck of the woods at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley this Friday and Saturday. Hope to see you there!
