Man from Russia has photographed 2012 - Real or fake?

Well done posters, That was quick.
It was aired on a russian television program yet debunked in hours by people in a forum.
Ats should have its own television show on the main stream!

Yeah, great idea, why not not? We can do better than that!
I volunteer to present the mysterious case of 'Albert The Time Traveller'

I think the russian word 'Юмор' means 'Humour"

Speaking with my Wife on this one.. she said it would be the point of reference as with distance/vision that could make the difference..


like if one took pictures of a Newsstand, close-up where stacks of printed papers are, have been, and will most likely be in the future. and develop those..

just a thought

I was just thinking about that Twilight Zone episode. Now I'm thinking about the eerie theme music to the series.

I catched the russian show yesterday at 8pm local time (they repeated the episode today at 12pm) and at the end they showed a man from Russia who apparently has or had a special camera of some kind, which can capture the future and past. Basically from what i understood how it works (my russian is not so good), he once found a magical crystal of some kind and made a lense out of it somehow for the old camera (simply put). He tested it randomly and at first he made like 10 photographs, 8 came out normal, but 2 of them captured mammoths running on the street.

Those are the widely known '___' camera lenses I am surprised you didn't know!
I just had to say this.

S+F!

I once heard about a camera that could photograph faint mirages of what appeared to be car license plates and indeed upon matching the pictures with the actual car parking spots proved those plates really belonged to the cars that had left the photographed spot after some time.

If I am not mistaking "The Twilight Zone" with Rod Serling had an episode of a camera that took pictures of the future. The episode was called "A Most Unusual Camera" (1960) was the name and date of the episode. Here is link to some data that will verify my claim.

Enjoy the link: www.imdb.com...

It is about three guys who find a camera that shows the future every time someone takes a picture of something or someone in the present. They of course plan to use it to commit crimes and so goes the story. It has the usual twisted ending that surprises everyone. A good TV show considering it was done in 1959-1960. Since I watched this in my youth, I can make comparisons to this latest Russian claim and find it interesting at best.

It was an interesting episode to watch and may be available somewhere on the internet should you be so inclined to watch it and get familiar with just how similar this is to this latest Russian press release about a camera that shows the future when a picture is taken. Very similar indeed.

While I am in no way stating that this latest Russian claim is a hoax, it could very well be a hoax and as such because I can remember that Twilight Zone episode like it was yesterday, all I can say is that it is pretty fishy to have a very similar claim coming from Russia with a camera that does the same thing. To me its just too coincidental to be ignored.

Thanks for the posting.

Wow!
Awsome job guys!! BS debunked!

After some extensive digging, i came across this:

Russian geologist, specialist for geophysical devices Henry Silanov founded a photo studio, in which one can see the collection of 80 unusual photographs – aliens, paranormal activities, people from the past eras.

Theres no reference to pictures taken of the future, only of the past. It also explains what type of rock(crystals) he uses for the camera:

Traditional optical devices do not let ultraviolet rays pass through. To make a unique object-glass Silanov uses tiniest grains of natural quartz, analyzing them on a spectrometer. Then he melts the grains for the glass, and polishes the lens manually. The film is also special: it is deprived of the gelatin layer, which filters ultraviolet rays.

Since this is my first post, not sure if it is an accredited site but heres the link:

Russian scientist invents camera to take pictures of ghosts and past

Is this the original thread if it is why??????

reply to post by alchemist2012


It is the original thread and what else are you asking specifically?

Well done everyone.

Now the real question is, was this show supposed to be fictional stories? And if it was supposed to be real, why would the Russian media feed the people this nonsense?

Or maybe we should just put this to bed already.

Well in my opinion the person who opened this thread stated that their russian wasnt so great so maybe he didnt understand it fully.

After doing a simple google search of the scientists name (Henry Silanov) multiple sites and official images come up that were taken from his camera.

Heres some of the photos that i found in google images:

I wonder if he put the "magic" crystal in a cell phone maybe he could call the future. We could call ourselves and have ourselves tell us what the future holds. Who wouldn't trust themselves?

LMAO

That reminds me of the south park episode where cartman calls from the future to stan in the past.

i would call myself in the past and give myself winning lottery numbers.
