Crete UFO Image Captured - What Is It?

The 'object' looks like the purple Covenant vehicle called a Ghost from the Halo videogame series , but in silver.

Lots of European cars have the steering wheel on the right.

Not in Crete they dont, they drive on the right...so the wheel is on the left, like MOST of Europe.

I doubt a hire car (which i presume this is) would be built to British specifications to be used in Crete.

a video would've been much better

WOW!

What a thread! Nice work OP!

Im amazed at how what looks to be a UFO could possibly be a reflection of the ring (diamond). I don't know.... and am no expert but the story is amazing and sure wish I could have been the chick to take these pictures! Beautiful living, thats for sure.

Yeah, i am leaning toward a reflection off the ring, or has that idea been debunked?

I have not read through all 28 pages here but it looks like a chip in the window not a ufo in the sky and it looks like the picture was taken in an area with lots of small stones on the road.

Hard to photograph a chip in the window when it is rolled down. She is shooting out the passenger window....which is open. If she was shooting out the windshield, it could be plausible.

That would make the angle even worse, but I think that if you look at the second picture that is included, the one through the windshield, it is pretty clear that the steering wheel is on the left side of this car.

I don't understand how people can get "plastic bag", "bug", or "reflection of her wedding ring" (the window is down ffs!), when this picture clearly shows a symetrical dome shaped object some distance from the camera. I'm all for trying to come up with a logical explaination for this before jumping to any exotic conclusions but some of the theories in this thread are just absurd. There's looking at things objectively and then there's simply being a skeptic just for the hell of it. I'm seeing a great deal of the latter.

Honestly I don't know what this is, but I sure as hell know it's unusual.

I think some people in this thread need to have their eyes checked.

I don't think it's a reflection of her ring. You can see a lot more of the "ring" of the object than you can of the ring on her finger. Also, it really doesn't match. A reflection is just that - and should pretty much mesh with the original object, even if at a different angle. This doesn't really look close at all, if you look at it zoomed in.

I don't buy the seagull explanation. Unless it's a seagull carrying a silver coconut on its back. And seagulls in flight don't let their legs just dangle and flap behind them.. they are tucked in. They only are extended when landing or taking off.

I think the mylar balloon is just a convenient excuse. On this remote locale, a mylar balloon floats by unseen? I am thinking not. If it's silver and shiny, there is always the "mylar balloon" crowd that finds it a convenient excuse. Even if it's on a remote cliff with goats in the middle-of-nowhere.

I don't think it's a bug - if you get details as you do (zoomed in.. you can see distinct lines, curves and shapes), you'd see if it were a bug. You'd see a head and abdomen, you'd see wings, you'd see legs. I could get some distortion. But I don't see a single identifying feature that it's an insect of some sort.

I doubt very much I'm smarter than you screwed. However I can offer an explanation of sorts involving the a more spiritual aspect to explain pixels end. These things are caught manifesting more so than actually arriving from outer space. This pic is of something more spiritual in nature caught just before it was fully manifest. Just one possibility for what seems to be impossible already.

So it is..must have missed that. Thanks for the heads-up.

Not a seagull. This looks more like it but it's facing the other way.www.cretewww.com...

The one labelled 'Georgioupolis, Crete 1.1.05', is the one I think it most looks like. Except I still think it is a gull gliding along the updraft caused by the cliff. Note the bright highlight on the forward part of the nearest wing. Its head is on the right, flying to the right.

Someone commented that the legs of a gull don't trail behind. They sometimes do but in the picture they are longer meaning it is something like a crane with long legs.

Having viewed the familiar looking UFO photo on Coast to Coast and finding myself here by clicking on the link to the story , I wanted to reply and so , had to join to do so .

I've seen one of these same crafts here in the Smoky Mountains about 5 years ago with two military helicopters following closely behind.I didn't know if the helicopters were escorting the craft or following it .

It would be nice if it turns out to be just a secrete military craft because given the nature of invading species whether animals or plants, invading species usually compete and threaten the species in the places they have become invasive to.

I've heard of other people in this area seeing unusual none conventional air crafts but I wouldn't trust anyone else's testimony other than what I've seen with my own eyes.
I haven't read all the post on this topic but I know the photo is of a flying craft that makes no sound. I've either seen the same craft or one that looks just like it .

I thank the photographer for sharing the photo. To bad she didn't get to see it live but only after she viewed her photos later on.

Ok. I saw this this morning before work with 127 flags and 16 pages. Now I got home from work and nearly double that respectively. Before I begin reading from page 1, what is the general consensus in summary?

Thanks

UFO

for sure.

That's clearly not a crane in flight. I'd have gone with seagull before anything else, but unless someone can explain the "ball" on its "back," then a seagull or any sort of bird makes no sense. A solitary bird though? I don't think so. There are 0 other birds in that shot. Birds of a feather really do flock together.. I don't think we are looking at the seagull version of the Hunchback of Notre Dame.

totally agree with this statement ~!

Star for sure.. especially when the half of the OP states over and over again that the "shooter' has been upfront and forthright about all of it, to include the original pic from the camera.. not a copy of a copy.

Here's what I don't get: why would she perform an elaborate hoax as a professional in her field esp when she's making a good living at what she does. She of all people would KNOW if she hoaxed it, she'd never get another shot of anything or anyone ever again, and essentially have to get a new profession...if she even could; who would trust her?

Bird is the word?

There are more than a few here who are convinced this is a bird and admittedly it really does bear a striking resemblance to a seagull in flight at the exact right moment.

The primary problem I see with this is the shape. gulls do not make an arc of this specific angle nor the exact symmetrical lay out. While it is of course possible light and angles can play amazing tricks.

Would we expect to see more bird features if it was a bird? I think so. Setting aside the shape for a moment I see nothing that indicates bird anatomy.no eyes, no beaks, no feet, nothing. From a person who has (no lie) taken thousands of blurry bird photographs I can just about always make out some bird feature. I may be a horrible bird photographer but it has given me lots of experience of looking at blurry bird pictures.

Okay so we have an over all outline that could in theory be a bird. We have no distinguishing bird features. The picture just 5 seconds before shows no signs of a bird, gulls are not often alone on a seashore, there is no indication of a bird in either photo except for the object in suspect.

finally goats are not looking at a gull. they don't care. I am convinced that the position of the ears indicate the goats are looking in that exact direction. If any of you have goats or have access to goats stand behind them and throw something noisy they will have to investigate and watch closely their ears. You will be able to tell where they are looking I guarantee.

For those reasons, plus those mentioned in the OP I do not think this is a bird.
