Hmm. I am suspicious of the "higher resolution" image. It is still cropped (it shouldn't be square) and the edges are blurry, even on the objects that are 'in focus'. The DImage Z1 should do a much better job than that, even using its 4X digital zoom.

None of that proves its a "hoax". It has obviously been cropped so yes, it's been passed through some kind of software, which I believe was also used to enlarge it. There is no other visible evidence of it having been doctored.

And yes, I am a Photoshop expert.

That's a resample made using (badly) a bicubic algorithm.
I don't think that the original image is available, perhaps someone may ask to CEUFO
ceufo.blogspot.com...

i find it strange that they did setup a blog rather than some regular website though
Ah: link to the Police of La Pampa's website:
www.policia.lapampa.gov.ar...

who will be so brave to ask them if they actually made the analysis mentioned in the article?

Exactly! So if the highest settings on that camera were used, then this is less than 1 square inch of the original 2100X1500 pic.

This pic is from the blog too, and I'm guessing it shows the actual resolution:


...of course the color saturation has been brought up here.

It is strange.

the photographer who took the picture of the "flying creature" is an ufologist, member of the Centro de Estudios UFO en La Pampa (CEUFO). This is from an article at Rense.com in 2007:

There is commotion in Macachin and Doblas over the sighting of UFOs. Ufologist Fabian Romano, member of the Centro de Estudios UFO en La Pampa (CEUFO) furnished details to this newspaper yesterday regarding two cases recorded on Wednesday and Thursday of last week, one in Doblas and another in Potrillo Oscuro.


www.rense.com...

Fabian Romano has also taken a picture of an alledged UFO nearby planes:



View the large and better version of the photo here:

The story of this alledged UFO photo can be read here, Google translation is available at the website:
ufopampa.blogspot.com...

All of this makes me a little suspicious... I think this may be an ufologist who is a little to eager to provide "proof" of strange creatures/aliens/UFOs.
My 2 cents.

Hey Badge! Long time!

Those pixels would be innocuous - simple JPEG compression artifacts...

...If they weren't framed by a perfect square. Good eye!

It very well could be. That part that looks like a duck's bill could be drawing our eyes to it and psychologically 'suggesting' that it's something else.

the only thing with the wasp theory is the knees seem to be backwards and i don't see any antenna on the head of the thing but maybe the blurr has made them hard to see ?

...What if the part that we're all assuming to be the head is actually the top of the insect's thorax, and the real head is the part that is to the lower left of that, possibly facing us?

No offense, but if you agree that it's not worth bothering with then why did you post? The people participating in the thread obviously think it's worth their time. Personally, as much as I'd love for this to be something anomalous, if it turns out to be something completely mundane I'll still feel like this is a perfectly fine way to spend time. It sharpens the eye and the ol' sleuthing skills.
