Cute IRM don't know bout that one darlin!

Yessss, in the blackness of night an amateur camera-man searches for the

original object back in the horizon. His spots, unknowingly, his lens on a 'pier

lamp' realizes he made a boo boo then flits back to other object. Why tell

anyone? It makes the whole video look even more nebulous!




this is a 'hmmm' moment.


Theme to twilight zone....doo doo doo doo....doo doo doo doo...doo doo doo doo




p.s. you can see that lamp head in one of the pics that our friend lups took.

With modern yacht types and the illumination some of them carry, with the environmental conditions at night, with the distance...

...it could be a yacht. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that a guy would walk somewhere in a marina in the Turkey and say: "Well, damn me! We were havin a hadrcore party and some pal taped my yacht and now I'm famous as a captain of the UFO! Damn, they even captured my wife, hell I knew she was a monster but if even from that distance they identified her as an alien, I'd guess I severely underestimated her beauty"

Really, having graduated from a Naval Academy in Poland I've witnessed many things at sea, some of them downright disturbing. That didn't mean that all of them were not from this Earth. Reflections, sea movement, weather, mist, etc. It all can contribute to quite a sighting that happens to be a yacht or a boat.

Go back and look at my skeeter boat with the heads in them then go

look at the Turkey 'boat' which has heads in them as well.....

The angle is a little bit off...and if it were exact...the heads would be

in the same places....they are almost as it is.

Now what are the chances of that? hmm?




hmmmmmmm

Sheesh! That part would require me drinking the whole bottle of whiskey!

IRM

You guys!!!....

Several issues, one post...

1. For those who like pictures and Google Earthing, here's a couple of little additions to Lupelius' excellent pictography to put it into context:
[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/f786a23fb9ae.jpg[/atsimg]
[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/bf80593a3727.jpg[/atsimg]
You'se'll note I have helpfully included the Lat/Lon (although that reflects wherever I had my cursor at the time...!), but I'm sure someone will whinge that I haven't made them GE copipastable, so here ya go:

41° 0'57.40"N 28°29'16.75"E
(Lupelius first camera location)

41° 2'4.25"N 28°26'27.59"E
(Kumburgaz - Yalcin's claimed location)

NB - I'm not 100% sure on the second one, - anyone with better information please feel free to correct me! Maybe Lupelius is into Google Earth, and can tell us exactly..?


2. Kizzzy, while I appreciate your efforts, I'm going to have to debunk the barrel distortion idea. If it was barrel distortion, the bend would change as the object was panned - eg if the object was above the centre of the image frame it would bow up in the middle, but below centre it would bow down. It could exaggerate the bowing a little, yes, but given the object is moving around the frame a lot, we would see the distortion happening - it would bend as it moved to different areas. And it doesn't significantly do that.. not to my eye anyway.

3. MMN - I'm not quite sure where you are heading with that image - does the 'shower head' thing have some significance I'm not aware of, other than someone suggesting it looks a bit like a shower head? Maybe I'm missin' something obvious, not being a shower head connoiseur.. Anyway, to me that is just a horribly out of focus, PLUS digitally zoomed, PLUS blurred by a bad tele-extender, version of this (not that it's much better..:
[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/2c60f0bbe69b.jpg[/atsimg]
which seems to be the same object, but with different lighting - again, the lighting effect looks a bit like car headlights thru a tree, or similar. It has been over contrasted and blown out by (deliberately?) poor post-proc and incorrect initial exposure.

IMO, there is no CGI or image manipulation of that sort here. just deliberate manipulation of exposure and post-processing to remove background detail, and some fairly ordinary earth-bound, non-moving object/s, and some images of ship lights.

Oh, and a dog - possibly the only honest participant in this... and even he was being manipulated..

I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that Yalcin knows EXACTLY what the object/s are. And I will get back to a full summary of my reasons a bit later. I confess I'm a little bored of this one now, as it contains no UFO at all, and no interesting 'behavior' of the object... just embarrassingly poor camerawork, and naughty post-processing.

CHRLZ, I don't see an object moving around in as much as the camera- man

with an unsteady hand. My theory mainly was that it is a boat with bi-lateral

lights as per my picture. The lights appear, mind you I say 'appear' to be

a little bent, hence I thru in the barrel cause/effect. Could very well be the

mist/fog/atmospheric interference attributing in that scenario.

Thanks much!

Agreed. Keep at it - I like the way you think - laterally and sometimes a bit weird.. Just like me!

Come on people; if you want to call it an elaborate hoax call it an elaborate hoax.

Calling it a boat is just silly.

edit: by the way, excellent work Lupelius

Well.....

I'm not really "heading" anywhere.

I just don't understand why that frame grab looks so different to the rest of the images of the object.

Because it looks absolutely nothing like a boat in the dark pictures.

Also, the boat theory is completely thrown out the proverbial window the moment the scene becomes "brighter" and there are apparently lights suspended above the water by a great height.

I'd find it more believable if you told me he hung a fancy nail-clipper by a string in front of a window, recorded it and played around in sony vegas.

In my opinion, THAT story is more likely and it's not very likely at all.

You can't see the boat in both pictures. You only see the lights!

Oh and the the heads of people as well. Go figure!

[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/c7cacc1be448.jpg[/atsimg]


Silly? I have to disagree with you. IMO, There is more of a probability of this

being a boat than anything else.

Take that same little skeeter boat all the way out there and I have no doubts

that it would produce a photograph very similar to that of the alleged UFO in

that Sea!

I can’t agree with that in absolute terms. It could be said to resemble various window shapes, prows & illumination patterns, albeit this is all conjectural at this point as our “expert panel” works through this issue.

Also, the boat theory is completely thrown out the proverbial window the moment the scene becomes "brighter" and there are apparently lights suspended above the water by a great height.

I’ve always thought those 2 objects were unrelated.

Tell me.....

What do you think the object is?

...

I'm sorry, but when exactly did you see those?

I saw some lights very close to the horizon (you do realise that he had zoomed in with a very long telephoto?), and then one solitary light higher up that was likely an aircraft. They had nothing whatsoever to do with the other 'dark background' objects.

Can you change that "apparently" to an "actual", by providing the time stamp on the video, please?

I don't much like the yacht window theory either, but I'm certainly NOT yet dismissing those 'd-b' objects being a part of a boat.
