Tibetan Dragons
A photograph of what appears to be dragons flying in the sky above Tibet has been generating some attention. The photograph was taken over a year ago:On June 22, 2004, the photographer went to Tibet’s Amdo region to attend the Qinghai-to-Xizang Railroad laying ceremony, and then took a plane from Lhasa to fly back inland. When flying over the Himalaya’s, he accidentally caught these two "dragons" in a picture that he took. He called these two objects "the Tibet dragons."
To me the 'dragons' (you can see their 'tails' in the lower left corner of the picture... click the thumbnail to enlarge it) appear to obviously be clouds. Or maybe they're some kind of formation on the ground. But yeah, I can see the resemblance to dragons.

It's a glacier, end of story.

They look like contrails that are being disrupted by the wind.

I see a giant panda in the mountains. Maybe the dragon is running from the panda.

Crap, this is like those magic eye things from the 90's. Never could see the picture in them either.
Posted by Craig on Wed Aug 10, 2005 at 12:56 PM
I can see what appears to be dragon tails, but I can make the same thing in my photo shop program and put clouds over it with the lightening tool. Easy.
Obviously some sort of normal formation with only a part of it showing, or photoshopped. Interesting, though. Why only one picture? If I saw dragons, I'd be taking as many photos as I could. I wouldn't tell anyone either, unless the photos came out really good and there was another witness. But even then...
I still don't think anyone would believe me.
Sorry, rambling. I'll hush now.

oh they are real enough and when they unleash their wrath on the Chinese overlords who have assumed rule in Tibet, the mighty shall fall...Free Tibet!!!

I second the glacier theory - thats the first thing I thought of when I saw them.
Posted by Saribellum in Another Time on Wed Aug 10, 2005 at 05:25 PM
Where are the dragons?
I only see clouds above mountains.
But I'm another one who never could see those "Magic Eye" pictures.

They aren't dragons, and I don't think they are a cloud formation. Its defenitly something on the ground, perhaps a glacier like Adrian Rice said, or a dried river bed, or even an avalanch area. They are definetly not living creatures, they are too large.

I think whether they're dragons or not, it's still a pretty fantastic pic!

My first and only thought when I saw this posting...
"Smerk will be happy."
PS - It's a glacier...

You know me too well, Mark!Free Tibet...With the purchase of a Tibet of equal or lesser value.

Oh ye of little faith. Gauging by the size of that tail, the dragon would probably be the size of a couple of mountains. Why is it so hard to believe that nobody's ever seen it before? Glaciers, cloud formations, photoshop enhancements, you say. Pfft. It's probably just that big white dude from Neverending Story. And he was nice enough. Then again, that picture probably consitutes enough evidence for W to launch an airstrike...
Posted by Daniel on Thu Aug 11, 2005 at 11:05 AM
I guess I can see a "tail"... but I really can't make out much in either picture. The clouds are supposed to look like dragons?
Posted by Reynard Muldrake on Thu Aug 11, 2005 at 01:23 PM
this is totally ridicolous... apart from the obvious fakeness of the image, try to think at how big a dragon like that should be.. it would be even visible from satellites!

Two glaciers running into each other, bone heads.
Posted by Mark on Fri Aug 12, 2005 at 11:48 AM
Maybe it's two Boneheads running into a glacier...it could happen

Stop using ridiculous theories to prove that the pictures are fake. It was stated several times that the dragons are too large to be real. The dragons are supposed to be flying, not sitting at ground level you idiots. The only evidence you need to figure this one out is that dragons do not exist.
Posted by cybernectic ghost of xmas past from the future on Fri Aug 12, 2005 at 02:43 PM
Geez, first "boneheads" and then "idiots". People are getting a little testy about these dragons. I don't know what the hell I'm looking at in the pictures... I may be able to believe it's a dragon when I see a face. The world is a strange place.
Posted by Reynard Muldrake on Fri Aug 12, 2005 at 05:39 PM
Dragons aren't real.
Just thought I'd bring it up.

Reynard, did you mean a Dragon Face, or just any old face? I've just seen a face I can't forget the time or place...Tibet? You bet
Posted by Hairy Houdini on Sat Aug 13, 2005 at 09:36 AM
i see the face of jesus.
Not in the picture you understand, just permanently burned into my retina

Hairy Houdini, well... a dragon face is preferable.

looks to me like its a reflection in the aircraft window of a the handle of a piece of luggage. Could be made of wicker to give that effect.

Posted by Stix in A monkey cage on Fri Aug 26, 2005 at 07:35 AM
The "dragon tail" is vissible in the bottom left corner hading oust of the pickture, remeber that its an Asian style dragon, not a vestern style dragon (ie large serpent like, like the dragon in "neverending story")
It does look a bit to solid to be a coloud formation thou....
