Yeah, this is definitely a very bad hoax -- but don't only blame the OP. Instead you should blame fakers like Robbert van den Broeke (the person credited with these pictures) and the UFO/Parnoral researchers who keep supporting van den Broeke's lies and hoaxes -- for example, Nancy Talbot of "BLT Research".
For some reason that's beyond my comprehension, Robbert van den Broeke is respected in the UFO research community, and UFO "researchers" such as BLT actually respect this guy and prints his lies as if they have some basis in fact. That says a lot for the credibility of those UFO researchers.
So the original story and photos may be a hoax, but it seems the person credited with taking the photos (van den Broeke) is the one trying to pass it off as real, not the person who posted the story.

Pardon?! What is that? I am sharing a webpage which I think is bunk, but I cannot be sure because I do not know who the people are who made it (know I know thinks to dr OK) and you warn me for a permanent banning?!
Why would I willingly post wrong info?? I just wanted to know what you thought of this, now I know. That's the purpose here, isn't it. It is a discussion board, not a newsbulletin!

I did not flagged it, but I have flagged threads with hoaxes because it is important for people to learn how to avoid being the victim of the hoaxers.
In this case, the thread could be flagged to make people aware of the lack of credibility of the source.
