zoser Posted October 19, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) http://www.openminds...n-england-1177/ Zoser, you may have seen this already, or heard of it. Very good find SN. No I haven't heard of that case. I'll see what happens when the image is enlarged. My daughter took some images vaguely similar to these on holiday last year. Her shots were not quite as clear as these though. Edited October 19, 2013 by zoser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoser Posted October 19, 2013 #3 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Yup. Pretty good UFO pics there. Not birds, Chinese Lantern, Frisbee's, toy drones. Flying pretty quick too by the look of it. He never saw the images either. And before anyone says it; definitely not mosquito's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmk1245 Posted October 19, 2013 #4 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Holy... Here we go again... How about that "saucer shaped" whatever (background image is downscaled by 10; inset is of original resolution) I can put (on RS, or on other freebies) original raw image for you to "analyze", if you want to. Seriously, zoser, take your camera and go outside in the evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours is opaque and probably a reflection. You'll have to much better than that. Edited October 19, 2013 by zoser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opaqueness is due to EM fields exerted by UFO... Its obvious.Seriously, look over your claims in the past.

bison Posted October 19, 2013 #8 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) In case anyone was thinking of a photoshop hoax, I point out that the clearer image shows chromatic aberration. There is a purple fringe on left edge of object, and a green one on the right. This is caused by the imperfect lens of a camera not sending all the color information to the correct part of the image. These two colors are known to end up at the edges of bright areas of an image. The bright, white cloudy backdrop surrounds the dark elliptical object. If the object was inserted by computer into a familiar scene, there should be no color fringes. The dark ellipse would have never passed through the camera lens, and caused the color distortions.

You know you can add green and purple with Photoshop too right? Pretty substancial editing program Not evidence against photoshopping... Yup. Pretty good UFO pics there. Not birds, Chinese Lantern, Frisbee's, toy drones. Why not frisbee? Or hub cap? Or similar? Edit: Replying to zoser also.

On the serious note, zoser, try to disprove that was 3 mile long alien space ship. Will you try? Nah. I'm happy with the UFO in the OP. Bison has nailed it I reckon. Anything's possible on Photoshop but if someone is going to that trouble why not put a lot more detail in? I agree Photoshop in this case isn't very convincing; the green and purple is visible in the enlargement. Until he comes forward and shout's 'April fool' this is has to be the real deal. These things have to be flying around in our atmosphere so fast that only a fast camera can capture them. The question now has to be who do they belong to and what is their purpose?

bison Posted October 19, 2013 #15 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) The simplest and least contrived explanation for the presence of purple and green color fringes in the photo is chromatic aberration. Otherwise we must assume that someone faked the image of the dark ellipse, knew about chromatic aberration, concluded its presence would significantly enhance the credibility of the image, and then faked this effect of a rather poor camera lens. I can't prove that this didn't happen; it is impossible to prove a negative. The simplest reasonable explanation in generally held to be the best one, though (Occam's razor).

zoser Posted October 20, 2013 #19 Share Posted October 20, 2013 The simplest reasonable explanation in generally held to be the best one, though (Occam's razor). Unfortunately for this principle to be applied, one has to prove that photoshop trickery is the simplest hypothesis. There is a strong case here for saying it is not. These two objects are UFO's because Occam's Razor says so. It states that among competing hypotheses, the hypothesis with the fewest assumptions should be selected. The application of the principle often shifts the burden of proof in a discussion.[a] The razor states that one should proceed to simpler theories until simplicity can be traded for greater explanatory power. The simplest available theory need not be most accurate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam's_razor The engineer snapped the image. That's it. That's the simplest hypothesis.

Check out Lenticular Clouds: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenticular_cloud As you become more experienced in the subject, it becomes easier to spot these misindentifications. You just need more practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
