(meteorobs) [comets-ml] Looks like another impact on Jupiter on August 20

[P. Clay Sherrod]

Goodness, not to throw a stone in the parade, but the image is not at all convincing to 
me; for one thing, the resolution (very poor contrast, sharpness and apparently poor 
seeing) of the Jovian disk is quite unsharp when compared to the image of the "flash." 
which looks suspiciously of very high sharpness.
Hopefully there can be some confirmation of this from others.
I am certainly not at all convinced from this one image.
