Fighter Chasing UFO Nashville Photo

Wed Feb 24, 2010 11:26 pm » by **Lowsix**

Here is LowSix's analysis.

This is:
A photo NOT showing what it is purported to show.

How do i know?

Well, this is most certainly NOT a photo taken at night, as it appears.
You couldnt get a jet to appear at night on the sensor of the worlds most sensitive camera...nor could you get the shutter speed high enough to capture anything resembling a jet shape.

THEREFORE...

It is a daytime shot of a fighter jet taken net to the sun with a super small aperture (f22 or greater) to cut out enough light to make the sky appear black..(easily done)

And it is taken with a high shutter speed 1/2000+ to freeze the motion of the jet. (even easier)

Guaranteed.

Someone is attmepting to take the piss, and likely release the daytime photo or the original (which these are not) showing this jet near the sun, but WAITING for the MUFON people to jump on it and say that it is an example of the Jet/UFO chase meme before they do.

Better still, it was taken at night with a very high shutter speed using flash.
if you study the objects closely, the left one is so close to the camera that it is burned out completely. Whereas the one on the right displays all the characteristics of light from the flash being directed straight back at the camera , not self illuminated. the wings are blurred because they are beating so fast.
I am prety sure you can identify the one on the right as Drosophilidae. (Fruit Fly)

Flips a coin. It's heads.
Seriously. Is that were the thing on the right is ,compared to the thing on the left? Actually? If so I go with Low. Besides , the bug is flying the wrong way to be chasing the UFO.

the thing that irks me abouts this photo is the sky blue aura around the jet it looks like someone used a phtoshop tool ( hastely i might add lol ) and covered up the image should have used mask pro for that one lol ..but thats a opinion nothing more

good post slush and when jets are scrambled after unknown objects that shoot away from them it must piss them off or impress them lol

cheers

Oh by no means was i saying it wasnt a jet.

It certainly is.

Just not a jet at night chasing an object...like the photo puts forward.

The reason the gamma zeros out to a black square, is that all CCD sensors are square, so when an object blows them out, the ones blown out will, in aggregate create a larger square of blown sensor data.

Another possiblity is a daytime shot where they took the tone down all the way with levels...But the reasoning against that, is that the jet most likely would have gone black.

But the reasoning FOR that theory, is that it could explain why the sun wouldnt remain perfectly round either...

I will attempt to duplicate tomorrow.

If you guys would really like to see more proof... than why is it so hard to ask? Don't forget... I am with you in this, but like MUFON... you choose to dismiss this as something that it is not! That's right! It's not a jet! It's not a jet chasing a ufo in the daylight with special effects! It's not a jet chasing a ufo in the night... either! I can tell you, and show sufficient photo proof, that it is two ufo's flying side by side... at a low altitude... at night! That's the only truth... and nothing more! It's often worth throwing something out there... just to see what the experts think! And believe me... I appreciate the brain storming, but I have been all too reluctant to disprove your noble risk of analysis! Thanks just the same! Gary Mansfield, F.I.
