badeskov Posted October 3, 2012 #3052 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Not offended at all. Maybe the skeptic faction is getting just a little desperate with what they are being presented with at the moment? <snip> Frankly, the only desperation I have is getting something that can actually can be discussed and/or hasn't been discussed into the ground already. I would really like to see something new that actually had some substance to it, maybe even just the slightest hint that it could be ET. Well, maybe desperate is not the right word Cheers, Badeskov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently there are skeptics there that think it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently there are skeptics there that think it is. There is no explanation to it. We know neither the size nor the distance. And we have no means of getting those. I am guessing a small bug or a piece of small something that flew fairly close past the lens. Therefore, there is very little to get out of this image in my honest opinion.

S2F Posted October 3, 2012 #3055 Share Posted October 3, 2012 No detail to suggest it's a bug. The first shot looks very much as if the object was on the sky not in front of the lens. This is a quintessential example of how the ETH works. You take something 'fuzzy' and unexplainable (note that unexplainable and mysterious are not necessarily synonymous) and present it as some sort of evidence that there are 'mysterious' events occurring around us all the time, all the while attempting to steer the debate towards an otherworldly explanation, for 'what else could it be?'. The leaps of logic and logical fallacies aside, it is intellectually dishonest at the very least. Alien spacecraft or bug or something else entirely, there is no way of determining what that speck in the photos actually is. All that can be done is speculate on it's nature using logic, reason, critical thought and what few facts are available. Even that methodology can't give you a definitive answer in this case though. That leaves probability as the primary avenue of 'research' and unfortunately alien spacecraft are less probable than anything from Earth just by their very nature. I will bet money that it isn't a flying elephant though, in case anyone was thinking that it might be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, are you suggesting that anyone feels desperate about your photographs which captured a tiny little blur? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Badeskov A shiny silver bug that reflects the light? That's a new one. Come on Mr B you can't be serious. Are you suggesting it was an ET bug then?

zoser Posted October 3, 2012 Author #3064 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I just did a search for the kind of thing that we photographed.

These do look like more distant objects in reference to other points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is one: Link. And other image of the same beetle, now in silvery color also: Link. Those are from Costa Rica, but I wouldn't be surprised if such or similar existed in Greece also. That said, I am by no means inferring that that is what the image depicts. I just see it as an option. Cheers, Badeskov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the video in this link. Near the end one of the beetles takes flight... Notice the blur... at the correct angle, we'd have a pretty decent match with the Crete picture in my opinion.

That is fair enough, I respect that. To be quite honest, I have a hard time deciding myself so I am just keeping my options open.
