Post your UFO photos! or ghost..

Thanks. Look for it soon.

Over about an 1-1/2 hours we shot about 25 minutes on my digital camcorder. We edited it down to 3:59 minutes. When I burned it to the DVD, there was an option to lower the video quality, and I set it to the middle setting. It's friggin' amazing! The kids are so proud.

...and I bet if your kids see a "ghost" or "UFO" video on TV or the web, they'll question it. What a great way to teach critical thinking.

And give 'em a spoooooky video to show at school for Halowe'en!

I've let them watch all of season 1 of Penn & Teller's BS, except of course the sex episode.

You know, I'm so glad to have contributed to it. I don't have kids of my own, but I do have two little nephews, 11 and 8, who are by now very well equipped with the basic tools of critical thinking, thanks to "uncle Pato" :).

BTW, the three of us made up this "orb" video sometine ago. It's of a totally different nature than the previous one, we did it just for fun, but now I realize that I was inadvertantly training them on critical thinking.

ANOTHER ORB VIDEO
 
As promised, here's the spooky video my kids and I shot.

24.7 meg

38.3 meg

Both links are for the same video, but one's a bigger download. If anyone can help me with reducing the size, lemme know.

Cheeers.
 
No Photoshop, no wires, no Frisbee..

Lemme guess ... Paint?

Close. I wanted to give it a "metallic glint" if I could. I started by digging out an old print of mine that included a good bit of blue sky as a background. This one worked well, as it was composed to include the city in the background. I put on one little dab of black Sharpie then scratched it with an X-acto blade, then smudged it slightly with my finger. What you see is the scanned print.

This was the first time I tried this, and I have no special drawing skills at all. I'm reasonably pleased with how it came out. Total time invested: less than 10 minutes.

I was inspired to try this by all the UFO photos I see on the Coast to Coast website:

http://www.coasttocoastam.com/
 
Today I tried a novel technique to create these UFO photographs. Specifically, I was trying to emulate what we see in some of the Billy Meyer photos or the famous Trent photos. I suspect there is room for improvement, specifically, being farther away from the "UFO" in the first place so the telephoto lens would "compress" the UFO into the background better.

No Photoshop or overhead "tightrope" style suspension wires were used.

At the very least, I learn something each time I do one of these little tests...

These mystery objects were snapped in December 2005;

UFO #1

UFO #2

The first was a bird, but I don't know what the second was. The original image is here.
 
Here are two that have sent ghost hunters into a frenzy in the past. When I patiently explain what caused these odd photographs, the ghost hunters refuse to listen.

The first was taken at a "haunted" house. The second at a supposedly haunted cemetery.

I have one like your second photo. That's a flaw in the lens.
 
But first, I must give credit to someone on the internet, whose name escapes me at the moment, for the idea.

That would be my name, of course. :eusa_liar:

Just kidding, but I used a very similar technique two years ago to fake the Phoenix, Arizona "formation" sightings back then. We even seem to share the same audio noise from the street outside. ;)

These are the two vids I made back in 2005. And my UFOs even form a formation:




 
That second one isn't just a formation, it's a DAISY!!! They're coming to get me...

YAY!!!!!
