G'day CHRLZ

That works well.

The flash technique will be helpful to Zazz.

I wish I'd been aware of more of this when the witness & I were in her car.

She was very helpful.....I'm sure she would have cooperated regarding more pictures, more info, etc.....

Kind regards

I'm amazed at the amount of responses that this thread has gained, and I am also very impressed with the amount of research and discussion that has also taken place.

I still think there may be more added to this thread in time, I just hope that it remains civil.

Going through the whole thread and starting with Phage's initial reply I agree that there is a lot of discrepancies with her story but I still can't put this down as debunked.

Oh well time will tell eh?

G'day Mark Frost

Yes.....you created a monster thread

There has been a lot of background noise, but I think the facts are cutting through.

Kind regards

wayaboveitall, are you arguing just for the heck of it?
Its not a wide angle image, the witness makes no mention of an attachable lense and the iphone is standard.

The iphone focal length is 37mm (35mm equivalent). A 50mm lens is regarded as normal in 35mm terms. 37mm is normally regarded as wide angle.

Regarding all images being darker at the top..
They dont actually, they vary.

Can you support that? I just measured them. Here are the very rough figures for the five images (RGB averaged, green weighted) for a reading near the top (40 pixels down), and towards the centre (300 pixels down). I used the smaller (uncropped) images posted fairly early in the thread. Lower numbers mean darker.
..4337 (Top- 125, centre - 140)
..7655 (Top- 100, centre - 130)
..5913 (Top- 110, centre - 135)
..2362 (Top- 100, centre - 180)
..5755 (Top- 135, centre - 163)
So they ALL show darkening towards the top. Sure, my numbers are rough and come from an 'eyeballing' method (5x5 eyedropper in Photoshop slowly moved across the image). I could apply a more rigorous methodology, but I won't unless anyone else disputes this.

and in those images, the camera would have decreased its exposure accordingly, thereby making the darkening a little more obvious.

Would it? I asked about iphones capabilities in that regard earlier.
Can you find the specifications ?

Yes, it has automatic exposure. Even the cheapest camera phone does - it's 'de rigeur' these days. As for specs Apple is a bit coy, but try here:

Adolfo Issasi's post is the best, but he has the shutter speed wrong - it varies.

I appreciate your time and efforts with this one Maybe!

Seems you have spent a bit of time on this as well.

Evidence or no Evidence (Which I am sure will constantly be disputed each way) its an interesting case!

I wonder whats happening with the U.S and the analyzing of the photos? any updates?

hi mark. i agree about the thread, its been excellent with great input and fantastic work from most and is the reason i finally decided to sign up, although i couldn't contribute much because most of the ideas/info had already been put up and i had to read up through it all and research some things for almost a full night before i could finally make a post! lol. personally i thought it was fake from the start but was willing to be open minded and give fiona the benifit of doubt but now for me enough has been proven to call hoax.

but even so, i will stay in the thread because i still think some people are offering some good ideas and discussion.
thanks

G'day Mark Frost

Jeff Ritzmann often takes quite a while to work through everything in detail.

I am of the impression Internos is leaning towards the "debris on the windscreen" option, but it's best to let him comment if he chooses to.

Internos:

Please jump in here if I've misrepresented your comments in any way.

Kind regards

and what are your scientific or any other relative credentials?

not really because that could explain the lampost but not the reflection and or fuzzyness of the central "u.f.o /blob" in comparison to the in focus background.

thanks

@\ \/ /
not sure if that attempted diagraim will turn out once posted !!! lol
thanks

I get ya! Actually, you are at least partially talking about lens flare again. Xtraemes example earlier showed what some lens flares can look like (although as I pointed out, the ones with defined shapes are usually aligned through the centre of the image).

But the other type of lens flare is a 'washing out' effect that can lighten the image, and yes, the street lamp could conceivably be lighting up some of the windscreen so your point is a good one... almost. First up, I can't see anything (foliage?) that might stop it illuminating the whole windscreen..

If it's the streetlamp getting into the lens, that type of washed out effect is normally visible as not only a lightening effect, but also a very significant drop in contrast, and I'm just not seeing that effect here. Not clearly, anyway.

A great example of the two types of lens flare can be found here:
nicholasallan.wordpress.com...
See the loss of contrast?! Yes, that's exaggerated, but you get the drift. It takes a pretty strong light source to do that sort of thing given the sunlit area is pretty bright already. I don't think the streetlamp is up to it, especially on a reasonably clean windscreen.

Plus, I would expect the lighter area to have an orangey cast. Hard to tell that, given it is a sunset but again, I just don't see that effect.

But I like the way you are thinking! Lateral thinking was the greatest thing before sliced bread...
