Hi Peeps

I thought about posting this as a claim that the pick below is real, however I am not one to promote deception so I will come clean. The pic below IS fake. It took approximately ten minutes to produce using photoshop and a free open source 3D rendering software called Blender. Just to note I am by no means an experienced designer, this can be done, with a little experience by almost anyone.

Please note In my own opinion I do not believe extra terrestrials have visited us. I believe our current knowledge of physics is sound and most craft allegedly pictured defy those laws. That said I realise that we do not know everything. Further to this I am not out to discredit or debunk people who genuinely believe they have seen or witnessed something unexplainable. In cases where people have experienced genuine distress and harm I truly believe they have undergone a very serious encounter, but I ould question their understanding and recollection of the events.

I'd like to know what you think, and whether this may have altered your thinking or not. Thanks for humouring me, and look forward to the discussion.

Of course, tons of faked photos are out there. Some of the photos from the pre- photoshop era are of signifigance and interest.

Best bet is to read up on things. I was a serious disbeliever until about 20 years ago. The challenge is weeding through the fakes and charlatans these days, of which there are quite a few.

So you cut and pasted the mountain or totally made the image up from scratch?
Blind Atrocity
They added the UFO -- which clearly is fake. It is slightly blurred, and doesn't fit exactly in the image. It appears to be revolving in one spot, rather than actually moving.

Who says we know everything about physics?

The ufo was created by using a 3D rendering package, then I pasted the ufo into a photo I took of the mountain. I added some noise to the UFO image to make it less sharp and fit better into the image, then blurred it by about two percent to attempt to give the appearance of motion. And yes as one poster commented it is quite obviously fake, but I did state that it was fake from the beginning. But like I said, I am a not an expert in graphic design, and it took me 10 minutes to produce this. Someone a lot more determined than me could make a lot more realistic image.

Orcseeker: I didn't say we know everything about physics, I just stated that I believe our current knowledge and understanding, whilst being developed is sound, and there is no reason to believe that concepts such as anti-gravity would be used by alien craft because it is theoretically impossible.

people as a majority will always question others understandings and recollection of events. I have replayed my experiences in my head I guarantee thousands of times and looked at every logical corner of the square. I do know that if others told me the story that I tell, I would think that they are crazy. Back to my experiences, I have altered my conclusion of the events, very little and on some accounts I am skeptical of myself. If another person had not seen and heard the things that I have I seriously would look into checking myself into a mental insitution. I belive that skepicism, is the only defense against gullability. By the way I agree with the ufo/alien thing. I belive that most of the sightings were actually some type of bioplamic lifeform or bioplasmic enigma
