I thought this short test was rather interesting. Just goes to show that it's sometimes very difficult to tell what's been altered and what hasn't. The application to UFO photos seems telling...is a photo reality, or someone's creation? Not always easy to know.

I got 9 out of 10, but that's only because I'm familiar with all of the photos that were there. It can be very difficult to tell the difference between real and fake pictures though. Very frustrating.

I got a 9 out of 10 as well. I had never seen any of these pictures before except for the shark one, however, I was never told if it was a hoax or not I simply assumed. The one I got wrong was the disintegration of Michael Jackson's nose.

Although, personally I have never considered pictures to be reliable evidence of anything from the supernatural, crypto zoological, or UFO related fields. There is just to many ways to fake a picture. However, if there is extensive background information on a specific picture with other forms of verification available it makes it somewhat more believable in my opinion but not entirely so. I almost never look to picture or video evidence to prove a phenomena one way or the other.

I scored 8/10

I was fooled by the President Bush photo and the Daschle photo.
Mmmh.. shows my regard for politicians. LoL

However, if we look at the reasons given by this website on why they're hoaxes.

1,The book in President Bush's hand has been digitally turned upside down.
Daschle

2,Daschle's body was digitally flipped around so that his hand appears to be on the right side of his chest.

Ok, should I just accept their word? At least, most of the other photos have links to back up the claim. I'm just making a minor point, I'm sure there are some sites on the net backing up those claims; I just can't be bothered to look right now.

Anyway concerning photos used as evidence; well, in this day and age, you could never rule out fakery, digital manipulation etc the list is endless so at this current time the only insurmountable evidence is an alien corpse and they’re quite hard to come by. mellow.gif

Interesting site lilly. I like things like that, here's a good one;
