strange creature photographed at Argentina Airport, page 1

here is an interesting photo of a possible Alien creature ? i don't know if this a hoax or not so you be the judge. here is the article and info...

The CEUFO (Center for Studies UFO) of Argentina received an email from a photographer (Fabián Romano) that claimed to have captured a strange being on his camera while taking some shots around the Macachín airport.

The CEUFO analyzed the image and declared it to be that of a flying “entity”. They also said that the image was of a “high strangeness”. The CEUFO came to this conclusion after submitting the photograph to rigorous testing.

So why did you say it? What kind of toads do you have there where you live?!

That is a mighty strange looking creature. Was there mention of whether it was alive or not?

i think it may be one of those gremlins that reak havoc on aircraft.

It's been cropped and enlarged, so it has lost some of its resolution. That doesn't mean it isn't a vid-cap as well though.

Something else makes it look like a vid-cap too. The creature appears translucent, which can happen if a video camera is stationary for a long time; the static image 'lingers' in view for a while even if something passes in front of it. Especially if the object is moving quickly.

That being said, the pic doesn't appear 'doctored' to me in any other way. Do they have flesh-colored seagulls in Argentina? Maybe it was plucked and is trying to escape.

Actually, the first thing I thought of was a patas monkey:


or possibly a squirrel monkey:


...Note the yellowish legs.

[Edit to add] of course then his huge tail would have to be perfectly perpendicular to the camera if that were the case!

If only I could see the whole, uncropped image, or some of the other pics the guy allegedly took around the airport. With just this it's pretty hard to form any opinions. I disagree about it not being worth discussing though.

Here's the article by CEUFO, and this is the (much higher resolution) image.

The shutter speed, according to CEUFO and the Exif data, is 1/1000, so it must have been moving very fast for motion blur. The camera, according to the Exif data, is a DImage Z1.

The legs and 'wings' certainly look transparent, but I'm unsure about the body - the brownish yellow blotch on it doesn't seem to correspond to anything behind it, and the rest of the body just looks like an opaque (and very out of focus) yellow-red color.

Of course, it would be easy to fake. The CEUFO article (mangled by babelfish) mentions that others have reported similar sightings, though.

A VERY rough translation from spanish:

CEUFO yesterday presented a picture described as "high strangeness" which was spotted close to an aircraft standing on the airfield in the town of Macachín: once enlarged and analyzed it revealed various details such as the parts of some body composed of head (with eyes front), upper extremities (arms or wings), trunk and lower extremities.

The image was captured by the photographer Fabian Romano of that locality, in optimal hours of illumination (noon) with a Minolta digital camera last generation that used a 135 mm lens and a hand speed of 1 / 1000 that is one-thousandth fraction of a second shutter opening.

The image of the strange being was described by the CEUFO as "body" and defined "high strangeness." After consulting experts and submit a detailed analysis of the photograph.

It is noteworthy that the bizarre image was not perceived by the photographer when capturing the image, who was surprised to observe it on the computer monitor.

The photo was sent to CEUFO that underwent analysis and consultation with other research centers in Spain while the director of the Provincial Museum Gustavo Siegentale described as "very strange" to photography and ventured to say that it could be a stranger be "mammal, and winged carnivore," obviously "a kind unknown."

The image was also collated with modern equipment of the Division of Criminal Police of La Pampa, which is observed very interesting details such as eyes front and what appears to be a kind of horn or peak.

The researchers found that the stranger would be at least about 80 cm in height, based on the propeller of the plane nearby.


Later stressed that this case is not isolated, "but that is part of a series of interesting photographs taken at various points in the province over the past year and this and that in the coming week, will begin working on the investigation of the potential presence of strange beings in the northern province, which would have caused panic in some rural workers

It's a post-UO (an uo that is spotted after the shot).
This dismisses the claim that whatever it was, the "Special Criminal Division (police) of La Pampa, using hi-tech equipment that is usually used for criminal cases, said that the in the photograph, one can see eye sockets, a beak and the object could be 80 cm tall."

In according to the guy who took the photo, it was invisible: and this endorses the theory that it was some very small object very close to the camera, IF the photo is genuine. No way to find out more, unless the creature will come clean
