Notice the glow around it?

What does the glow signify??

I notice some of the clouds' edges have a glow, as well.

Can you explain?

That glow is nothing...

When he ran the high pass edge effect, it added the glow in there. It wasn't there to begin with. The filter he added on there is not some type of enhancement, it's just an effect.

To show I am correct I ran that same edge effect "high pass" on a picture of Megan Fox;

Even though she is an angel, that's not a halo, just a high pass edge effect.

The effect is not really useful for photo analysis.

I see where you are going...

Mmmmmmmmmmmm........ Megan Fox..... Yummy....

Anyway. The obvious problem is if this is a real picture of a real event it could still be explained away by explanations like these. You know what I mean?

Hi,

Yes, all the info is in the EXIF data which is next to my images on flickr, i think it shows everything that has been done to the images, dates etc.

www.flickr.com...

so you're admitting you faked it?

But when downloaded to computer the photo with the object has no EXIF data in it. The other two photos on the other hand have that info.
The DPI is different 72x72 vs 300x300 in the other two pictures + the image with the object has compression signatures of a known image editing program.

Edit:
Please upload the original. Without any photoshop involved.

Even flickr says that it has been modified..

I was under the impression that all the images had EXIF data. When the image comes out of the camera it is 72dpi, i shrink the images down in photoshop, delete the original and post on flickr or a photography forum that i use (who also have size limits). Most of the time i change the dpi to 300 to retain clarity.

I'm afraid you will have to excuse my photography methods, thats the way i do things on just about all my pictures. i've had a camera for just over 6 months and have no reason to keep multiple copies, it's just a hobby which i dont take too seriously......Until i get a nice big dslr....but in the mean time it's just a learning curve.

Sorry man, but none of those "filters" can be used to determine anything.

All you start with is an array of pixels with RGB values. When you add a filter, all you are doing is changing the RGB values. You aren't enhancing anything.

So are you saying you deleted the originals?

You should use www.imageshack.us... to host your images, and do not re size anything.

It is pretty common practice for UFO images that you provide the original untouched, non-resized, image, or nobody will be able to believe your image is real.


After looking at your other images, I can see the window was extremely dirty, and that you had to reach over another chair, and forward, in order to get a picture of the jet engine. Do you have ANY other images from that moment? Did you take more than one image of the UFO?

Yes, i delete the originals. I appreciate it might be common practice to keep originals of UFOs, but this was just another interesting image to me and was treated the same way. The image has been on flickr for a while and it didnt generate any real interest from my contacts on there either. I guess it depends on peoples own personal interests as to how important keeping originals and investigating images is.

Yes, i have more images from inside the plane but they have a picture of my son on them and the whole view out of the window is totally out of focus.

Thanks for the tip about image shack, i may check it out but i'm quite into the flickr community now.

Always always keep the original image when you photograph a UFO..

How else are we supposed to tell if it is a hoax or not, especially when photoshop appears on the exif data. That right there will lead people to beleive it was tampered with.

You know, one of these days I will get to document a UFO myself, and by god I will make sure all my bases are covered! You should too.

Being a photographer, even as a hobby, you should know about image data. You should have known that the second we saw photoshop that we would be calling out hoax.. I mean wouldn't you?

I guess so, but then again if i was thinking along those lines i would have disabled the exif data to hide the information.

That would have been even more of a give away.

That would show that you are intentionally trying to hide your altercations. We would then ask for a photo with exif data pretty much like we are here.

We take this stuff pretty serious and are very meticulous. If you want a proper analysis you have to provide proper images.

Other images of the location would help, since you just so happened to delete the image that would have given this credibility.

I mean, you saw a UFO and you only took one shot of it?

Figuring that this is your hobby, I'm sure you have a pretty nice camera. I know on my pretty nice digital camera i could take 10 shots in a matter of 3 seconds. What gives?

Great photo!
I think i find something have shadow on the cloud just right below the UFO.
