Interesting Photo I thought I'd share with you

    Hi All,

    Recently I was holidaying in France, when I spotted a Balloon in the sky from the Hotel room. So I decided I would take a couple of snaps to show how easy it could be taken for a UFO. When I uploaded the pics to my PC, I noticed another object in the picture which I hadn't spotted at the time, and which was not in any subsequent pictures.

    The object in the middle of the photo is the Balloon, the other object is in the top right area.

    I am not claiming that I took a photo of an alien craft, but at this stage it is unidentified.

    Guys the photo is larger then 2mb, so I have trimmed only off the left hand side of the photo so as i could get it below the size necessary.

    Again the lower object is the balloon.

    Regards

    Gavin

    I had to clean my screen to make sure it wasnt dust I was looking at.:)

    Another balloon?

    Its possible, but then it would likely still have been there when i took the next photo 3 seconds later. Which it wasn't.

    I am not trying to convince anybody that its of alien origin. However it does look like something Billy Meiers would produce.

    Hi Gavin,

    I have looked at your photo and to me the object seems to have a high wing, slightly blurred but it looks very much like a Cessna from a distance either a Cessna172 or 152, the reason i say this is because of the high wing and distance and if you look at the high wing area you can see a minute gap just to the top right of the object and then another blur which would be the tail.

    Such details do not exist in the photo.

    It's Biffo. He went airborne Cape Canaveral style after Finian Mc Grath withdrew his support for the government!

    BTW if anybody is interested in the original photo, i am happy to email it. Its just over 2mb.

    It may just be a blob, but with my super sensitive vision I can see the pilot of the Cessna 172 Skyhawk giving me a cheeky wink.

    I just gave my opinion on what it looks like to me from a distance especially when i sharpened the image and zoomed in using finepix viewer.

    Ah you see, that's the problem. Sharpening is a cosmetic tool, not investigative. Sharpening destroys information, rather than retrieving it. Any details you can make out are an artefact created by the sharpening process.

    Looks like a chopper pointing from right to left imo.

    I agree, there is no blurs coming out of the object at all, i increased the size of th image using software and found that it is one shape, no wing structures or anything like that, possible it was a bit of dirt on the lens but it wouldn't be as clear if that was the case.
