Problem: strong winds or large- scale jets not readily seen in ULXB

Estimate: >~ 25 % ULX blow bubbles If ULX photon emission strongly beamed, than there should be many ULXB with ULXs that are beamed away from us Are there unrecognized ULXB from active, presently inactive, or misaligned ULXs ? Search for point-like XRS among large SNRs candidates
