Did anyone else notice how grainy the picture is around the lettering and date is in the upper left-hand corner? Is that normal in a still frame from a CCTV still? It looks like it has been cropped and pasted into a picture someone took with a camera or phone.. Just my opinion, I think the bigger issue is that I doubt this was taking from a CCTV video at all, and was just made to look like one to make it seem more realistic and add to the hoax.. I'm pretty open minded but I'm not buying this..

Since we know nothing about the camera model, it could very well be a classic case of long exposure effect.

I'm fairly confident that everyone remember the infamous "Popocatépetl Volcano" case that happened few month ago:

No, it wasn't a "giant cigar shaped UFO that flied into a volcano", but just a meteor shoot with a special surveillance camcorder that took 1s. shoots at a high light sensitivity.

Here's the comparative view of the volcano with the two pictures taken at the same time with two different cameras:

This effect is particularly spectacular with still photos:

The last one is just an helicopter flying over the coast with its searchlight on, taken with a 10s. exposure.

Here's how it works:

What our eyes see:

What the camera sees, with a long exposure:

So, for OP's photo, it could also be the case, with one or several trucks or cars for example that slightly moved during the whole shoot exposure.
Some will say: "What we see don't match at all the shape of a truck"...

My answer then is quite simple:

Does this looks like a helicopter?

No, and yet it is one!

Pretty much rules out a low boy trailer if this is accurate.

I don't think your implied vehicle size is accurate. Look at the bottom left corner, you can see tire tracks far bigger than the lines you noticed....

Those tire tracks there are bigger than that truck you put there. So... I am thinking you are some what off on your accuracy.

Great. Now the aliens want our oil, too?!?!? Here I was under the impression that they were more advanced than us.

Interesting thread and thanks for posting. S&F

It is. That container on the right, catches spills, and is about 15 inches in diameter. When the rain stops here, i will get a picture that shows something similar.

Im quite dissappointed!
All that advanced technology and they still use oil.
After all the green energy mumbo jumbo our government pushes on us it turns out oil is still the way to go for interstellar travel.

You don't know. Maybe oil is as rare out there as it is here. And maybe it's still used in some form.

We really have no reason to assume they are more advanced than us. The only reason we're not in space is because of money, not because of technology.

I think they're in the future and we're in the past. And it's literally a war between worlds for oil because they want to control their populations because it gives them ultimate satisfaction.

Yeah, they look like they are just lights!

Except for all the paradoxes that causes.

Hand signal lights (like they use on aircraft carriers to direct incoming landings) on a patch of mud or oil puddle.

OP, could you at least put an HONEST title with your thread?!?!?!?!?!??!!?

NOTHTING MOVED. NOTHING LANDED.

Some flood lights or something at a gas pump in the desert. This warrants a thread???????!?!?!?!?

Thanks for wasting mine and everybody else's time with this, and for adding one more worthless piece of noise for the ATS site.

There should be a way to give negative flags to complely lame and unfounded threads, and with enough negative flags that person can no longer post threads.

And this gets 34 flags???????!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!?

Looks like a photo manip, there's a dark line between the front right of the image and where the so called craft is, if you ask me it looks like someone took an image of a vehicle with the breaks on with a rear window center brake light and squashed it then dropped it back in the photo!

I already said the EXACT same thing, on the first page.

If a video is released it will probably only be one frame from a long exposure CCTV camera anyway.

Yeah, I'm really not buying into this one.

This is nothing! It looks like lights on a runway or something.
If this is where ufo studies is headed then well..... we need to STILL work out the bugs,...

Honestly this is Before It's New's type stuff (crap)

I'm sorry, I guess I had missed it, wasnt try to steal your ideas or anything.. Just when I looked at the picture that's the first thing that stuck out to me, and after glancing over the post I didn't see anything about it, but you're right you did state it earlier.. Glad I'm not the only one to notice it though.

Toooo clear for my comfort, IMHO.
