New Chicago UFO photo (NOT O'Hare)

I apologize for not getting this up sooner, but due to an email confusion I just got the image this morning.

In looking at this image:

Chicago UFO photo

I dont see any direct evidence of tampering, doesnt mean it wasnt, the UFO image is ridiculously small, and it'd be quite hard to tell directly. The haze of the object seems to fit well within the distance hazing of the day.

So, I blew up and literally did nothing else to the UFO part of the image:

Now, look at the right end of the "disc". Note the orange glare on the topside right end, and the dark "fin" on the bottom right end.

Also note that the middle of the object appears lighter, then either end, and that includes the underside. That put me on to thinking about the possible shape, and reflectivity of whatever color it is. BUT, we have a bit of a clue in that faint orange area, that exists only on one end, the end that happens to have the fin below.

Now, unfortunately we're only dealing with a object pixel area of 6pixels by 16pixels. It isnt a hell of alot to go on, but lets look at the image on this page:

Another Image from Chicago

Ok, we got a blimp, over Chicago, with a light (white) midsection, and orange fins. If that blimp were far away on a hazy day, it's totally what I'd expect to see out of that photo. The "UFO" bottom fin is in shadow, the top is not. There's a distinct lightness to the midsection, in accordance with the white on the Aquafina blimp.

To boot it seems the photo of the blimp in Chicago is from 2003. Now as far as I know, the person who submitted this wasnt sure of the exact year but he thought it was six(?) years ago...I think it might have been 4-5 years, if the blimp is in fact what we're seeing.

If I had to go with a bet, I'd bet thats the Aquafina blimp. But at 6 X 16 pixels, even if it's little green men, it aint much to go on.

Hello jritzmann,
I would have to agree with you on the blimp theory. Besides a vague time frame of when this was taken, what else do we know about it. Is there any eyewitness information as to why we should be analyzing this photo? Did this person see this object move in an unusual manner? Was it not there when they took the picture and then notice it later? I must say that there is not a lot to go on, but what is there points to a blimp.

In other news, I will be giving a presentation to the local MUFON group. I was asked to be a speaker at their next meeting. They would like to know about the first O'Hare picture that surfaced and what ATS found. Anyway, I will be basing my presentation around my analysis of the photo, and with your permission, I would like to tell them about the work you did. I was very impressed with the professionalism the members of ATS showed in authenticating the photo. I especially like the work you did so that's why I would like to mention you to them. I will only be talking about it. I will not use your drawings or any material anyone else came up with like the attempted duplications. I will only ask them to come to ATS to see for themselves. However, I will give credit to you and others for the hard work done. The whole world saw the events as they transpired and you guys deserve credit. And no I will not get paid for this. This is a free event with no money being made by anyone so don't ask for a cut. Hehe.

Hector, by all means use whatever info you like.

As far as this shot above, youre absolutely right: we know next to nothing about it. I think I feel pretty good about the blimp, as it doesnt sem as if this sighting had much in the way of witnesses...and where it is, there would be many.

Might be the triangle craft.

Normally three dark or bright circle areas.

Only you just see two at this view on one side.
(Each side giving a view of only two plasma thrustor effects unless the
craft is tilted.)

Belgium Triangle story

That looks big enough from the side.

The Belgium Triangles really are a wild case...probably one of the best UFO multiple witness sightings ever.

Unfortunately I dont see any evidence of that or them with this photo at all.

These are a world wide pnenomina now..belgium was the nineties...
The United states reporting a lot more sightings than any other country....
Their activity patterns are a good place ti begin to try to analyze them,And they have come in a lot of different shapes from diamonds to squares to triangles...
Check the great lakes ones ..baby yellows!(thread above)
I am beginning to believe that more than one source of this technology is involved as the variety seems to be growing rapidly....
I think it is time to classify them by sillouette and size...
I cant understand why some form of world wide comparrison is not available ....
a real universal data bank we can use....
the whole thing could yield some promissing data if we could do more comparative statistics.

The variety of UFOs has been part and parcel of the enigma for a long, long time.

Obviously, it could mean that these UFOs come from multiple sources, which some of us have long suspected. Or it could just as well be that one source has different makes and models, just as we have different types of motor vehicles. One alien comes in their variant of an SUV, while another in a sporty sedan.

Here is another photo of blimp - out of focus:



www.flickr.com...

But difference is - it is out of focus, not just photo of object in the sky with clear shape. But anyway, here is visible similarity.

i had a questoin to anyone who might know. i just got done watching the video link teslaandlyne posted and about the photograph they show in the video of the ufo. does anyone know if its ever been proven a hoax or not. also i dont see how you see a triangle in the pic above

I would like to point out that there seems to be a Unidentified Flying Object to the left of that photo JRitzmann.

Unless you know what it is?

Off topic: Did you make your avatar? it's pretty.

I punched it up in a graphics program and reversed and contrasted - no gondola and not added in as the edges are cross-pixel... cigar-ish, maybe saucer. Unknown - cool.

I couldn't help but notice this shot was taken from the sears tower, or somewhere very close by. My concern is that the background of this image is Lake Michigan. Coulnd't this easily be a large boat of some kind?
It appears that it could be resting on the Lake.

Belgian Trinagle story at YouTube

Sorry bad quality control. This link should be a Google search that
lists the proper videos. Can't blame remote CIA keyboard control
this time.

Those listed should be part Unexplained Mysteries TV Series on the
episode.

If you get the disk you see the Hudson Valley sightings that look like
a flying wing with a center light from its plasma motor.

I think all not in the know, even under National Security law and say
plasma motor, but people sworn to secrecy can not bolster any hint
of UFOs operation, found by only one person: William Lyne.

No good citizen signing the Nation Security Secrecy orders and help
explain the true operation or existence of the triangle craft.
It just stands to reason. Lyne was in the Air Force and was instructed
that UFOs were Alien craft. Official word. Yet now he might think the
triangle craft is and offshoot of the Haunebu II drawn up by people
unknown.
