Thanks for sharing:
let me count: one, two three, four...
realufos.net has something like TWENTY ads on a single page, besides it's NOT the original source, just copied and pasted another article, coming
from
here, which is neither the original source, since the article
was firstly published here:
UFO spotted in Agrigento skies.
Credits: Accursio Soldano
The pictures in question are
this one and
this one, and the translation of the original
article roughly says:
September 26, 2009:
in the area of Monserrato, between Porto Empedocle and Agrigento, some sudden black out occured. But the sky was clear. Around 21 appeared in the sky
a ball of light, one of those that are usually called UFOs, unidentified flying objects. The images, taken by a former policeman in the police station
in Agrigento, Gaetano Castellano, now retired, remained in the drawer until now. "Speaking of UFOs is not easy" he told us "we might not be
believed, but certainly what we saw was not a plane, because, soon after, has passed an airplane and we could see very well the difference: it would
be interesting to know whether the captain of the aircraft, in its report, pointed out something odd". The object in the sky was gray and silver and
was particularly visible due to the lack of enlighteening: the it began to move, then it banked, finally quickly vanished. The strange thing is that
tonight, and at that time, power was on everywhere but the area of the sighting.
First, rather than wondering whether the pilot did spot it or not, it would be a better idea to contact ENEL, the national power company, and ask for
the reasons of the black-out, just in order to rul out any possible connection between the two events.
Second, both pictures are definately inconclusive: there are no grounded points of reference, and the second one can be litterally everything,
including light bulbs, post lamps, the moon, some star, some planet, my cat wearing some led, etc.
According to EXIF data the pictures were taken with a Canon DIGITAL IXUS 90 IS, exposure, 1/8 sec, f/4.9 | ISO 200, on September 25, 2009: they were
somehow manipulated with Picasa, but i don't think they were photoshopped.
I could try to contact the journalist who made the original article, and ask for more informations: for example, if the alleged object was spotted by
anyone else.
