UFO Photo Contest

Okay... how about a fun thread to ease some of the tensions between the "debunkers" and the "woo-woo's?"

I propose a UFO Photo Contest. The rules would be simple: the graphics must be original... no posting of other people's UFO's from other places on the internet. Public domain photos can be used, but no copyrighted material. All photo software is fair game/all media are fair game: digital photos touched up in photoshop, gimp, etc.

At some point we all vote. Either by choosing top favorites or maybe Stryder can edit to include a poll that includes those that submitted a photo.

Oh... the UFO can be either real or fake. :cool:

Only question is: should we have to disclose the method of creation or should we keep it a mystery?

I'll go first with DakotaUFO. I shot this UFO with 35mm Kodachrome on a mostly overcast day, though there was enough light to throw some shadows. I was originally trying to shoot a landscape that included the tree. I thought I caught a glimspe of movement just as I triggered the shutter, but I had my eye in the viewfinder and just figured it was a trick of light through the iris.

OK, here's mine, taken with the camera on my cellphone as I was out walking my dogs one night;

I took this photo with my 35MM camara in Golden Colorado 1987. This photo is Real. I scaned the image as is and made no adjustments.

It should be Identified as real or fake by the poster. For it should be rewarded for originality. It is much easier to create a UFO CE image than to obtain a genuine un altered photo. Also disclosure should be accurate and truthful. Let's be honest for honesty is usually a necessary ingredient for any contest.

This is a spectacular photograph I only have one question. Is it Real or Fake? BTW your photo is Fake but good job anyway.

Would have to be, or it would really surprise me of how the shadow is the same exact size and shape as the ufo...

Hmmm is it just me or does it look rather cloudy in that top photo?

Or is my monitor on the blink?
:(

Ok here is how it's done.

Before

After

Maybe it's where the three shadows on the right are placed but they're awful, and i also see that your ufo's are not as 'shiny' as the original ufo.

They just wouldn't convince me as much as the original.

Let's talk about my photo. What do you think it is? It would appear a craft emitting an plasma propulsion field could create an event like this. What are your thoughts?

Since when do the northern lights appear in Colorado? I never saw them the twenty years I lived there. Maby Northern Candada or Alaska I could see that but I have never herd of Northern Lights in Colorado.

What about a perception -- an impressionistic response to an overall experience?

...

Oh right, you guys need to be led on a leash: Look, Tommy, look over there at the pretty flying saucer. See how it blinks? That, Tommy, is a Yew. Eff. Oh!

Im not saying that that light = northern lights.. It is a similar phenomonon... To say its a ETI pulser ray on earth is sooooo incredibly hilarious..

Firstly.. To say its ETI is hard because we cant even prove ETI's exist.
secondly -- To try to explain something by something unprovable or untestable is a HUGE fallacy..

Put this in the science fiction area....

LOL :D
