  • UFOs in Mexico? Photo analysis shows not the real thing.

    By accident I came across a photo taken in Mexico that shows 4 “UFOs” hovering above a cathedral. This is a case I found on MUFON’s website and that immediately caught my attention because I right away recognized it as being something else. Being a photographer myself I saw this is a case of lens fragments causing internal reflections within the glass, caused and brought out because of the special, but not uncommon, circumstances.

    Original UFO Photo

    There are 4 objects visible at the top, seemingly hovering above the church. (click photo to enlarge)

    After studying this photo I could quickly see that we have internal reflections of the very strong street lights. Proof of this works as follows: Since this photo was provided full size and in original form I was able to find the absolute center by drawing two lines down the middle (in red). Now we can draw a line from each of the UFOs through the crosspoint of the absolute middle of the lens system and they come out exactly at the center of each of the street lights.

    Analyzed Photo

    Slightly brightened photo and reconstruction of lens reflections’ paths added with blue lines. (click photo to enlarge)

    There have been a couple of photos circulating around the web from a very similar “UFO” in London, but they show the exact same effect that caused it. I would be curious to see if that was the same brand and model of digital camera, but unfortunately I do not have the original photos.

    In any case: Case closed!

  • French Space Agency CNES Opens UFO Cases Site (French Only)

    After a couple of months the availability of the site as finally become reliable. The first onrush took it offline for weeks. You can select a state and dig down into french UFO or other (explained) sighting cases or select by looking at “national” cases (whatever that means). Beware that you will need basic understanding of the french language since no english site version is available (yet?), but understand the french pride probably never. Cases are listed by name, date, region and class.

    The classes are defined like this:

    - A : 100% explained observation
    - B: observation very likely explainable by proposed GEIPAN explanation
    - C: observation not explainable due to lack of information
    - D: observation unexplained in spite of “elements” in possession of GEIPAN (whatever this means? They know but can or will not explain it?)

    You can access testimonies for each case as well as pdf files and images if they are available in each case. This is a step in the right direction.

  • What Happens Next? “The Kinross Controversy: Hoax, Fraud, Men-in-Black or Genuine Discovery”

    After this summer’s exciting news about the UFO at the floor of Lake Superior, I will sit tight and see what happens next: “The mystery deepens as summer discoveries fade and questions remain unanswered. Journalists, writers, opportunists and perhaps even men-in-black have contacted or attempted to contact members of The Great Lakes Dive company.

    The company has acknowledged the discovery of a 1953 F-89 Scorpion fighter jet and an unknown object, both sitting on the bottom of Lake Superior. Although, new revelations concerning both craft were revealed the dive season ended with the company still waiting Canadian government permission to use remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to gather additional information including video, photos and artifacts.” Read the entire Article at UFODigest.

  • “Is there anybody out there? How the men from the ministry hid the hunt for UFOs”

    The British MoD tried to cover-up secret investigation unit, 10,000 eyewitness reports ‘mostly due to weather’. By James Randerson, science correspondent, The Guardian:

    “The Ministry of Defence went to extraordinary lengths to cover up its true involvement in investigating UFOs, according to secret documents revealed under the Freedom of Information Act.
    The files show that officials attempted to expunge information from documents released to the Public Records Office under the “30-year rule” that would have revealed the extent of the MoD’s interest in UFO sightings.”

  • Semi Futuristic Planes from Area 51?

    Blackairplanes Ss 1This article in Popular Science talks about the planes that might be tested at Area 51. There are images and some speculation. I for one think the planes shown are a bit too current in technology than what they actually have. I would expect something more along the kind using actual anti-gravity etc. Check it out.

    An article by Dirk Vander Ploeg with more detailed description of this case with some additional information can be found at the American Chronicle website.

  • Missing Jet found 53 years after chasing a UFO

    “At 6:22 p.m. on November 23 1953, an F-89 Scorpion jet was scrambled from Kinross Air Force Base near the Michigan Soo to intercept an unidentified object detected in restricted airspace over the Soo Locks. The U.S. fighter was seen on radar over Lake Superior, merging with the craft it was pursuing. Then, it disappeared from radar. Never to be seen again. Ever since, the UFO-theorist circles have been speculating what might have happened.”
