Grey14 Posted February 3, 2012 #2 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Its strange that that is the only object that is blurry. Also the blur on the object does not look like the kind of blur you would see on a moving object. Just doesnt look like and object moving at any kind of real speed. Like below.

Goodnite Posted February 3, 2012 #5 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Doesn't provide enough clarity to show much of anything. Could it be a bird? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassea Posted February 3, 2012 #6 Share Posted February 3, 2012 It looks like a piece of chewing gum streaked. On the window. To me. The camera is focused on the outside. So the gum being closer is blurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Englishgent Posted February 3, 2012 #7 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) The plane is an amphibean (flying boat) with high wing, That would be the view from the cockpit, looking underneath the wing. Strange how everything else is in focus other than the alleged UFO though. edit. What Erix mentions as a transparent box bothered me so I looked again. I think whoever faked this photo did it by having the alleged UFO printed onto a piece of transparent plastic sheet, then stuck the plastic sheet onto the aircraft window. This would explain what Erix sees as a transparent box around the alleged UFO and would also explain why it is not in focus. It is quite plain as you can also see a slight difference in the colour of the sky due to the plastic film or sheet.

Fluffybunny Posted February 3, 2012 #8 Share Posted February 3, 2012 i must be missing something here....how does he take a picture of underneath the plane with an iphone? (I assume thats the underneath of plane?) It is a small high winged aircraft. Think of something similar to this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Englishgent Posted February 3, 2012 #10 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Hi Fluffy and Quillius. I was editing my post when you were putting your posts up, Check my edit and let me know what you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1963 Posted February 3, 2012 #11 Share Posted February 3, 2012 thank you both I will now go and continue to sit in the corner...quietly Not so fast Quillius...the pilot said... " Only the luck of the camera could tell me that it was some sort of object of quite some size, as our wing is nearly 50 long and that float out there (40 ft away) is 10 ft long. I estimate that it is about the same size as our plane or longer, that would make it approximately 70-80 ft long. " ...doesn't sound like the little plane in Fluffybunny's picture? Cheers.

There are high wing planes of all sizes, I posted that picture for the fact that it demonstrates how a photo could be taken and show the underside of the wing; I was not claiming that the photo WAS the plane in question, just that the wing configuration is similar. There are very large high wing planes that carry dozens of people... Edited February 3, 2012 by Fluffybunny added photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quillius Posted February 3, 2012 #14 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) Thanks 1963...good to see you pal. Anyhow I see what you are saying Englishgent....one thing that would assist in confirming you are correct would be to see the other 2 pictures also...not that I doubt your explanation Edited February 3, 2012 by quillius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Rubino Posted February 3, 2012 #15 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Its strange that that is the only object that is blurry. Especially with a shutter speed of 1/1774 sec!!!! (I checked the file data using Adobe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oppono Astos Posted February 3, 2012 #16 Share Posted February 3, 2012 To try and give benefit of doubt the rectangular shadow could be a reflection from the opposite cabin window - there is a another misshapen shadow to its left and under the wing - but it looks mighty suspicious and 'wrong'. I can't help feeling that we should be seeing the reflection of the photographer in the glass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattacaster Posted February 3, 2012 #17 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) Looks like Anakin's or Sebulba's podracer. But it would be flying from the other direction as the plane. Episode I is coming out in 3-D next week. Hmmm. Edited February 3, 2012 by Mattacaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scowl Posted February 3, 2012 #18 Share Posted February 3, 2012 The blurriness is a concern. It was a high shutter speed and the depth of focus is from the near wing down to the Three Sisters so if the object is just outside the plane it should be in focus. There is clearly no motion blur in any direction from the object. It does look like junk on the window. It have been so small that the photographer didn't even see it.

scowl Posted February 3, 2012 #19 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I can't help feeling that we should be seeing the reflection of the photographer in the glass? The iPhone was probably pressed right up against the window. The GPS data matches the location, in case anyone hasn't checked that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketgirl33 Posted February 3, 2012 #20 Share Posted February 3, 2012 For once, just for ONE TIME, I would like to see one of these pictures CLEARLY!! Is that just to much to ask? I can't believe that everything else in this picture is crystal clear except the UFO. Maybe they are made that way, blurry. I would just like for one time to see one clearly. It is 2012, you would think with all the incredible technology we have someone could take ONE clear picture of a UFO..... Rocketgirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scowl Posted February 3, 2012 #21 Share Posted February 3, 2012 For once, just for ONE TIME, I would like to see one of these pictures CLEARLY!! Is that just to much to ask? The post says he has three pictures of it passing their plane at an incredible speed. Oddly I've only found the one picture and iPhones aren't known for their high frame rates. If it's going super duper fast, it could be creating a cloud of condensation around it although this should make the front of the "object" more blurry than the back. Or it could just be an excuse the guy made up after he took a picture through a window that had some crap on it. It looks like a bug hit the window and the air stream smeared its red guts across it.

Cassea Posted February 3, 2012 #22 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I still think it looks like chewing gum. Smeared across the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red guts, yes, that does make sense. It does kinda look like a yucky mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhow I see what you are saying Englishgent....one thing that would assist in confirming you are correct would be to see the other 2 pictures also...not that I doubt your explanation Hi Quillius!...it's good to see you too my pal. Of course you are right to reserve judgement until you have digested all available evidence. And yes , you are right!...I did rather jump onto Englishgent's explanation!(bad habit of mine. )...but it does still seem likely to me buddy. I traced the original NUFORC report.... http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/086/S86794.html and managed to get the second photograph of the three... http://www.nuforc.org/S86794_b.jpg ..but for some reason, they haven't released the third..?...wonder why?
