Photoshopped.

a broken link...?

you don't see the photo?


Incidentally, the photo is suspect although not proved as the product of photo manipulation to the best of my knowledge. Some photoshop experts say that it is whereas other experts do not believe that it is.

Btw if you claimed this to be something that flew over your house and you'd taken a picture with your camera, I'd ask you to provide an exact copy of the picture from your camera since all Camera's embed extra data into original pictures which modified copies don't have. Of course you probably didn't know that ;)

Of course I would go with the Photoshopped, you just have to look as the posed whispy clouds. they've been carefully doctored. Of course it would be more pronounced on a higher resolution image. Anything this size (which incidentally isn't a size that camera's tend to use as a standard) would be suspect.

This photoshop photo made its way to Sciforums back in 2004 or 2005 if memory serves correct. It was every bit as fake then.

JUST FUCKING SAY "IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE SHOPPED!"!!!!!!!!!

[OilIsMastery]

Doesn't look photoshopped to me.

I have no idea what it is.

It's not flying so it's not a UFO.

It's clearly stationary because it is held in place by an arm and it's not blurry at all.

It's pretty cool looking, whatever it is.

It is a device that drains away the current from the power lines before anyone works on them I do believe. It's a gounding device.

Is that just a guess, or have you seen similar things?
It seems awfully complicated and elaborate for a simple ground.

[cosmictraveler]

I've seen something like it before but not as complex as this one. I'm only hazzarding to guess at this one though.

That makes sense. Interesting to note that the most fundamentalist and prejudiced people on the board were the quickest to cry "photoshop."

[clusteringflux]

No,no!

It's being called the California Drone. AFAIK, it hasn't been debunked. There are many pictures and it made Fox news.

I'd love to hear anything else about these pics you guys find out. For instance, have the found the photogragher.

Actually I look at the image through some software to see it was actually shopped. (at least the clouds were)

Where is this alien spacecraft stationed at?

OMG!!! WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

[clusteringflux]

Draqon, you're off topic.

Please discuss the OP.

[draqon]

clustering, the picture of OP is a cgi project done for a phd by a student in arts.

I know that there was one person that made a video of CG about this thing, but these photos SUPPOSEDLY predated that. I actually just wrote Kris (the guy that made the CG drone video) yesterday in an effort to find out more. I have not heard back yet.

I do not doubt for second that this is fake. It certainly has the appearance of being "a little too good to be true", but I am just investigating because it looks interesting.

Watching the guys video, it's super easy to tell it's CG. Unless what I saw was the shaky product of the digital streaming quality, Chris Cunningham' stuff would blow this guy out of the water in a second.

Heres a link for someone who "debunked" the photos http://www.hyper.net/ufo/vs/m05-001.html


Marc is a former MUFON Field investigator, and has taught
Astronomy for a number of years at a local area east coast
college. Both Marc & Steve I would consider well grounded and I
would consider them both 'non-skeptics' related to 'UFO's. They
think UFO's are 'real' and likely 'extraterrestral' in origin.
Marc works with computer generated images every day. Both
experts state all images of this object are clearly fakes. Mr.
D' Antonio is one of my valued expert contacts I network with in
studying UFO photographs. He has volunteered to assist in future
cases.

Marc examined the Coast to Coast images days earlier week (May
10) earlier. I contacted Marc again when this latest witness
report was posted on CMS shortly later (May 12, 2007).

Attached images have been studied by these two friends in the
Special visual computer effects industry. They both
independently state this object is clearly a CG fake.

Marc writes "Those of us in that community can look at and
immediately spot, fakery. I have to say that this one is not
actually even a GOOD fake."
