more UFO stuff

Dilettoso said the ratio of the object's length to its width and its coloring match the profile of a classic UFO.

Ehr, WTF is a classic UFO?

The differing textures of the top and bottom edges probably mean that it's in flight.

Uhh, how exactly? I'd say that the fact that it is up in the air shows that it is in flighe :rolleyes:.

What's more, the digital picture shows no evidence of tampering.

"Bottom line: It's not a fake," Dilettoso said. "I can't find any evidence that it was digitally faked."

BZZZT! Wrong. It is possible to tamper a digital picture without leaving traces (it is rather easy, in fact) so it is never possible to disprove digital tampering (it might be proved, though).

Why big? Do you know the distance? That is another silliness in that article; they make assumptions about the size of the object, but since it is on sky background, and the depth sharpness of a daylight photo is typically a few yards to infinity, all we can assume about the distance here is that it is at least a few yards away (because it is not seriously out of focus) and at most a couple of miles away (because it is not hazed down). This gives us a size range from a sparrow to a battleship.

I wasn't being entirely serious, but you make a fair point..
 
Hans, get with the program.UFOnies have a special gift that allows them to tell both the size and distance of an entirely unknown object.

So here's the technical prowess of people who analyze UFO photos: "Now just because it's a 20- to 30-foot object, a couple hundred feet away..."

Those trees on the far ridge line are way more than a couple hundred feet away, and that big tree near the "object" is not even 20 or 30 feet across. So an object 20 to 30 feet across, a couple hundred feet away would actually be ten times larger in the photo. Plus, as MRC_Hans noted, all you can tell is the ratio of size to distance. And this is the guy who "has spent years doing profession investigations of so-called UFO pictures."

Some expert. At least he got this right: "It's unidentified, it's flying, and it's an object."

After making a blow-up, I definitely get a bird.

Aircraft carrier. The governemnt is apparently tinkering with flying boat technology.
 
Mr Hans makes an excellent point.

A bird diving away at an angle is the most likely explanation.

NOTE WELL.. the right side of the object is narrower than the left.. EXACTLY what we would expect in a bird with a larger chest area and lesser tail area.

Could be hawk or something going after a squirrel ?
 
I'd say pigeon, or other small bird. Pigeons, starlings, blackbirds, and many others fly in burst mode: They alternate between bursts of wing-beating and partly or fully folding their wings and ballistic/soaring lengths. The UFO looks like a pigeon soaring with partly folded wings.


BTW, I also posted a UFO shot a while back.

They have an expert declare that it's not been digitally faked... but when I blow up the image, I see odd trace coloration surrounding the "image" that isn't found elsewhere in the sky.

So maybe UFO's have noticeable auras; or it's in transdimensional flight because some trace of it appears ahead, behind, above and below it's physical form... or maybe it comes from a cartoon universe so it naturally has "movement lines" around it when it's in flight.

I boosted the "threshold setting" when I zoomed in to make the odd pixel discolorations that I had noticed a bit more prominent. Then I laid the original "zoomed in" image over that.

Or am I misinterpreting the effect... or being too harsh?
 
Sloe,

Your image doesn’t show up.. perhaps try a link ?

I noticed the slight haze around the edges of Wildcats blowup.. btw nice unpixellated blowup it is too !

Looked typical of a paste in !

That alone is highly suspect, because any REAL expert will know that you cannot make sure that a digital photo is not faked. It is simply not possible to rule out digital faking.

but when I blow up the image, I see odd trace coloration surrounding the "image" that isn't found elsewhere in the sky.

Actually, that is a normal phenomenon brought about by the JPEG compression.

Yeah, whatever :rolleyes:.
