Helicopter pilot confronted by UFO fleet

reply to post by 0bserver1


The guy says he's a pilot with 33 years experience. Do you really think he can't tell the difference between birds, stuff on his windshield, ect. I doubt he would get this excited if he didn't believe it was something other than the explanations most here are trying to convince themselves of. Just saying. I know you need to be cautious with these type of stories but damn. Can a guy get the benefit of doubt in some cases?

so there are 8dots, wheres this helicopter you spoke of? ... i doubt its 1 of those round dots..

You obviously didn't read my later response and have zero aptitude for satire/cynicism. So here it is again:

"Swamp gas and/or ball lightening".

if those are birds they must be HUGE. i know people will say "waaaaaaaa but theres nothing to compare scale here" hat's quite a distance, if it was a bird i highly doubt it would be visible let alone the size of another aircraft?

what of high altitude vultures circling a carcass?

They would be "there one second, and then gone".. diving below the sight line of the pilot.

IDK?

The photo is taken from INSIDE the helicopter.

For what we know these UFOs could easily be part of some secret collaboration between races?
It's incomprehensible to guess what those UFOs are but flying together in formation somehow has a human characteristic feature to it?

Maybe these craft are being vectored in by HAARP, or pehaps that floating radar stationed in Alaska.

Actually, not a bad long shot from a helicopter platform, especially if it was taken by the pilot.

I've seen it great movie.. I'm still mad at the aliens that took that kid with them..

you do know the movie was fiction, right?

as to the OP, would be nice to have more background on this...corroborating links...i mean, helicopters aren't really very common out there..it's mostly planes. hard to believe it was a chopper pilot, and that there's no other accounts of this from local air traffic....

also, that doesn't really look like brooks range....though, i suppose the time of year would matter for that....

we need more info.

Of course I knew you were being cynical. Just like everyone else who has made this sort of comment for who knows how many years. It's long past being remotely clever or entertaining and it's a knee jerk insult of anyone offering any explanation other than "OMG A UFO."

You don't have to apologize , It's a free discussion and if you think you're right about what you stated then thats your truth.. I really appreciate good and well thought skepticisms that lets you stand speechless but there are many bright minds here that do that occasionally... And that sometimes really s....ks because you know they are right about something!

You still don't get it. I was making light of automatic debunkers. I am implying that it's a clear pic of a UFO. UFO meaning it can't be quickly written off as the usual explainantion of skeptics, ie swamp gas, ball lightening, chinese lanterns, etc.

Looks like he tossed some pennies out a window. There is no info on who this guy is anywhere. Also, who are his witnesses when he says "our helicopter".

"He grabbed his camera and could just take one picture."

Huh? One picture? From a helicopter?

Sorry, the one picture thing blows this for me. How hard is it and how long is it to go "click, click, click" and take a few photos with today's cameras?

I call BS.

I can tell with my trained eye those objects are just specs of dirt on the windshield. I can tell because of the sharpness of the objects and the foreground, compared to the background. I can see the depth of field effect in the image.

In the lower right corner of the image you can see a part of the helicopter. The edge of that part can be studied, and you can see that it is in focus, and sharp. You can also study the edges of the "UFOS" and their sharpness. They both have a similar level of sharpness. This to me tells me they are both the same distance from the camera.

Compare that with the soft background (mountains), which are further away, you can see a definite "depth of field" effect. No details on any of the background is sharp. So, I can see with 100% certainty that the "UFOS" are really close to the camera, like specs on the windshield.

Otherwise, if those "UFOS" were further away and still look as sharp as they do, the cameras depth of field would have to be infinite, but that would mean way more sharpness would be visible with the mountains in the background, but its not.

Just looking at it, I can tell objects are close, their edges are just too sharp. There is NO DEPTH.

Add that to the fact we only have ONE image. That alone is suspect.

A second note, they do NOT look lit by the sun. They don't show any signs of Rayleigh scattered light orange-yellow sunset color like the tops of the mountains. They look too dark to be out 1000's of feet in the sky. They are definitely close to the camera, and in some type of shadow probably cast by the helicopter. There is a little ambient color from the environment, but not DIRECT sunlight.

I'm liking these pics, feeling pretty confident about them. Not so great you say, "fake". & not so poor/ abstract that it could be anything.

I have to be honest. I've looked at this picture a few times over the last few days since it was posted, and to me it looks exactly like splatter we used to see on the nose of aircraft all the time. I have no idea what it comes from, be it bug guts or skydrol, but it looks EXACTLY like that.

Wait! There are eight of them!? Santa had eight reindeer! Mystery solved!

Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder, and Blitzen.

That's eight...

And Rudolph makes NINE!

Sorry, dude. I know you're a mod' and all that, but some things are just way too important to get wrong
