New 1947 Alien Photo To Be Release

[badeskov]

Maybe I shouldn't have used the word fake. But it still doesn't change the fact that the image was retouched, so that it appeared brighter than it really was.

If you compare the original and the retouched image, you will see that the searchlights behave differently. The image I was commenting on was the retouched image, not the original !

And how dare you call me a conspiracy theorist.

Some posters need everything detailed in excruciating detail as they will misunderstand what they possibly can in favor of their pet fantasy instead of letting common sense and critical thinking prevail. Sadly.

Cheers,

before this thread dies and will be stored away in the vault:

this article says that Carey is about to release more Information on Jan 25th (during a press coference?).

Whether or not he will reveal those darn Pictures on that day wasn't mentioned.....

Damn you got my hopes up, I thought the guy had finally released it.

So are you saying the folk at Los Angeles Times conspired to put a phony picture on their front page?

You conspiracy theorists are a strange lot, indeed!

Not a phony picture but one that was doctored. The following two links are to posts that show two more pictures taken of the same event and they show no object at all. The second link includes the links to the photo sources

Update;

Above is our example of a still from Adam’s documentary; the image was enlarged, enhanced, reconfigured to the proper perspective (as to look at it straight on) and finally (re)encased in a time relevant, Kodachrome pressboard mount.

I think it would be very hard to fake this as a true pro would be able to easily validate the material used, date exposed, etc. My only question is why is it so damn blurry? The out of focus shot makes it difficult to say what we are looking at but I am guessing the slide itself is real.

The thing is, the people who took the snaps were 'well travelled' and took loads of images from their travels. Whose to say this wasnt a mock up dummy alien in a fun park some-place? Its a bit like Boyd Bushman and the doll....YES the photos are REAL....but the content is not

Concur. The only thing is I don't think that the alien form of the big head and small grey body was known at the time. I could be wrong on that as I am just guessing.

What I do not understand is why the image of the slide has been maintained as follows:

I was still in full debunking fever already as I have found another image on that the same pressboard mount was used as in the ET image.

Grrr.

I think its just a result of them getting it from the vid I posted, see it from 1.35

I remember on another thread that I dug up old comic book depictions of aliens from the 40's and 50's. There were many different forms but a few were large headed and small bodies. There was one 'popular' alien who used to sit on a small disk - but for the life of me I cant remember who/what that was called now

OK thanks, I didn't know that. Regardless of these blurry figure slides there are some really awesome color images of very famous people of the time like Clark Gable and Ike on a post-war tour.

Mekon?

Mekon?

THATS HIM!!

[seeder]

You know, just looking at the Mekon, 1950's, is probably where the notion of aliens with big heads and small bodies began, NOT the other way round. Artists dreamt up the original 'grey alien' form and its persisted as the standard depiction.

Which is stupid as no-one has ever seen one!

Funny enough, I went on a binge of watching the originals of The Outer Limits, One Step Beyond, and early Twilight zone series and guess what....it was nearly always MAN who flew the saucers.. go figure

How about this little tome Meda: A Tale of the Future by Kenneth Folingsby. Published in 1892, where he describes a little men with balloon like heads. Great article on it here

Good link cheers, I will post just one image from it along with the comment

From If Tomorrow Comes by Louis Aaron Reitmeister 1934. If that's not the same thing that Betty and Barney Hill said they saw, I'll eat my hat. .

The first comment on this article http://www.theironskeptic.com/articles/gray/gray_history.htm is supposedly from Jim Oberg. Well, at least it is signed Jim Oberg but I can guarantee that it isn't the JO from this site. Interesting that someone is using Jim's name in vain.

What I do not understand is why the image of the slide has been maintained as follows:

Because all they had was an still image from the documentary to work with showing someone viewing the slide with a loupe. The slide only takes up a fraction of the frame, and is viewed side-on, so they basically Photoshopped it back into something resembling the original rectangular shape and upsized it, and then Photoshopped an actual Kodachrome slide holder onto it. Hence the cruddy quality.

I can only presume that the actual image will be shown in the documentary. If we're lucky (but are we ever?) they will also release to the public a high-res scan of the original slide.

I think that the US military apparently had magic seachlights.

The light from a searchlights don't just stop abruptly when a target is caught in them. I am afraid that this is badly done fake !

Do go ahead and explain what it is that is happening in the photo I linked to above.

With regards to my post that you are quoting, I have allready explained what I meant when I said it was faked. In case you missed that, I will post it again.

And how dare you call me a conspiracy theorist.

As you can see I wasn't talking about searchlights in general. I was talking about this specific instance, and how it is a retouched image and thus doesn't show how the real seachlight beams looked.

Your link would be relevant if I claimed that seachlights always looked a certain way, but as I have said, I was commenting on this particular instance, where we do in fact have the original to compare with.

You can see the same thing in the original unaltered photograph.
