Photo of Object Posted on Mufon I Want Everyone's Opinion

To all the latecomers:

Thanks for your opinions and interest...I keep reading the incoming posts...and thinking that yeah....I am disappointed this was merely a plane of some sort because in my untrained eye, I thought it was definitely something more interesting then a plane caught on a 4 second shutter opening!! Anyone who wants to become better at examining photos on their own on the internet should go back and read the whole thread it's very interesting.

To all the great members that contributed to educating us on why this is some sort of plane:

I loved learning all about why it was a plane, how it matches up to all the great photos everyone submitted that show various types of planes at night with long shutter exposures....and to all the people in this thread that PATIENTLY, without criticizing or being rude, instructed the rest of us who wanted at the "truth" of what it was...

I applaud you You all have been great in this thread, even when a few sarcastic posts came in, you all held your temper and ignored them and just kept patiently showing us through many great examples and opinions, and helping the rest of us become better at examining photos

to InterestedObserver , problem with what you say, is i cant see no wings anywhere, you know from this picture its probably possible to get little view of the wings. i've tried to see any wings and came out empty

lights seem to be very powerful, yet none of the lights help the wings appear anywhere.

this thing, whatever it is, seems to be a soild object not moving, as i do not see any motion nor blurry things around the objects anywhere.

Well put LateApexer313!

I would just like to add that the contributions from all the posters, with the odd exception that was dealt with nicely by the mods!, should be a template of how a thread and subsequent posts should be the norm here on ATS.
It is threads and posts like this with invaluable contributions from specialists in the field of graphics, aviation, photography and common sense, that make it all worth while whilst investigating and denying ignorance.

I know exactly what this is, it is one of those huge and long cylindrical
Mother ship's that we see once in a while that usually have small white
orb's lining both sides of this remarkable ship instead the multi-colored orb's that we see in this excellent catch of a photograph!!
If someone can pull up a few images of other similar mother ships you'll
see what I'm referring to. I hope this helped!!

If you look at the stars they are also elongated...This is only done with a long or timed exposure of a cameras shutter...either it be a digital or manual SLR...Also if you look at the photo that I posted of the plane that I took a picture of its wings are also not present..Its to dark to see the wings for one....

The shape of this object looks sort of like a strand of DNA. Jose Esacmilla has videos of objects like this and calls them critters. Good work!!

seems to be another incarnation of the popular "rods" phenom

simply long exposure time with some common natural light effects showing the movement of some kind of winged insect

you can see the path of the wings

THis is pretty cool picture, possible ball lighting.

Umm story short is that I was on the phone talking to a guy helping him correct a POS issue and he had stated they have been having rather strong thunderstorms and got a picture of lighting that looked like a ball then exploded inward in a show of sparks....

I was kinda wondering if he was BS'n and sure enough he emailed me the picture.

Check it out.



Could be a bird that struck... hell I really don't know but check it out

Well sorry that you think it's a firework, but if you take a better look you can see the rain cascading down... now tell me, do you light fireworks off when it's pouring outside?

Shame that just because you think that jumping to the conclusion it's a 'firework' because of the sparks that were given off when the lighting exploded... shame on you and your lack of being observant.

thye OPs picture from mufon is fake, the camera was rotated slightly, and also the picture is posted rotated 180 degrees from when it w as shot, also if u zoom in to the bottom of the picture , u can tell it should be the top, becvause whoever posted it "claiming" its real, used the wrong shade of black to attempt to black out the lights, streaked lights.,(i can spot this all out and crop it n stuff if u guys wish)

its rather clever though how it was done. u can do alot to make something look like what it isnt. if u know your computer software, and take ur time, with the photo, this guy took his time, but its spottable, so he must of havent taken the "right" amount of time,.

I know that your picture highlights the multi-colored image in upper right.

I did notice a < or wedge that is pointed to the left about a third of the way to the left side of photo.

It looks very light but it does stand out and has no lights?

Best Wishes
