Well, they are definitely Martians or something. Any of you Von Daniken fans want to guess what they are trying to say?

Hi, hopefully someone can help identify these, I got my film back today and on the 4x5 fish-eye trails I spotted 20 plus stationary " stars" they are all in the same approximate declination of M42, some are brighter than others. The same spots are on a star trail shot to the south on Friday night. They are not aircraft because of the random spacing and they are not in a line. I am guessing geosynchronous satellites but I have never seen this on any star trail shots I have done. Here is a link to the full shot with the 24mmm Nikkor and a close-up section showing the spots I have to send Tony Hallas the 4x5 transparancies to scan so I won't have them back for awhile.
