Check out these UFO pics!!

I really don't see how this could be photoshopped.
You can really see the inscriptions on the craft in one photo.
Really interesting.

However, a lot of comments seem to think this is CGI or some such.

1. It looks like cooking equipment fused together
I can't read the symbols on the underside. But surely you realize that this is easily done with the background? My daughter is a graphic artist. This looks like a bunch of gadgets put together and the writing is indecipherable; actually, it looks like it might be reversed (mirror image.) No picture is a definite. I have seen what my daughter has been able to do with limited computer equipment. This would be simple.

5. It really does, doesn't it?!!
:rofl:

I'm not saying that it isn't real, but it certainly looks like a kitchen whisk glued onto some other thing from around the house. :D

12. Looks like an extraterrestrial
Jiffy Pop!

:rofl:

I do not think its out of the realm of possibilities... but this does look like a hoax to me. I think these boys have been watching too much Star Gate.

2. I'm surprised no one has created a DU Coast to Coast forum yet.
It seems like a lot of people listen to it.

6. Well it just seems like a lot of the DUers who listen to CtoC

wouldn't necessarily be inclined to post or hang out in a Spirituality forum. Just surprised I haven't seen a 'Friends of the Coast' forum crop up, since it has such a large following. Most of those topics used to find their way to the now defunct Meeting Rm. or Lounge, which were sort of catchalls for subjects without a forum.

9. I would hang out there, but I don't think Skinner would start one
Everything now from C to C either comes here or the 911 dungeon.

Like, I love this You Tube I found from the Coast to Coast website, but it doesn't fit with here or the dungeon.

I am not into those "drone UFOs", however.

The radionics device I did post here, because that is very on topic with this group.

Did you guys notice that when the United Airlines employees saw the UFO at the Chicago airport, the DUer posted it to this group, when he saw it, before all the publicity. I thought that was pretty cool.

10. Yeah, that was cool

Before the primary wars, back when DUers bashed Republicans, I used to regularly read news here a few days before the media cartel reported it--that is, the stories that they actually reported.

4. I think this is called the Big Ben Drone
I first heard about this last year. a group at the Open Minds forum has been picking photos of the drones apart to try to debunk them (I mean to say, they're taking them seriously).

Might be the same crowd commenting on the c2c page.

The open minds forum is here http://www.openmindsforum.com/

7. Sorry to be a wet blanket, but some of them look photoshopped to me.
Second pic:
The craft is in extremely sharp focus while the trees are in very soft focus. Now either the trees are in front of the craft or behind it. If they're behind the craft, then the craft is relatively very close to the photographer and must be so small that only very small creatures (with very small brains) could live in it. (This reasoning assumes that the craft is "manned" by sentient beings and not a drone.) If the craft is behind and further away than the trees, then the camera lens is focussed on or very close to infinity; but the trees are still far enough away from the camera that they would be in sharp focus, unless the lens is a very long focal length. But if the lens were such a long focal length, then a handheld picture would have camera shake.

Last pic:
Based on the light on the foreground trees, the sun is behind the photographer. However, the sun highlights on the craft are on the right side and the sun is definitely not shining on the craft from behind the photographer. This one reminds me of one of those old National Enquirer or Globe articles with a picture of Russian soldiers and a tank with a crashed UFO, but the sun was shining on the picture from three different angles.


I'm a little puzzled why you say you don't see how they could be photoshoppped. These pics would be much easier to photoshop than some of the more sophisticated photoshops that we see every day. All it takes is overlaying two images together. When one image has clear sky where the other is overlaid, it's pretty simple. Anyone skilled in photoshop could do these in a minute.

8. Did you know that there are people who frequent Sci fi conventions who are
actually thoroughly fluent in Klingon. . .?

"Life's rich pageant. . ." ya know. . .?

In truth though, galactic intervention seems like a plausible hope to me.

silly me.

11. post that convinced me
I think it's a fake now, too. The post that convinced me was the one by Jared, who pointed out that taking a picture from the ground, the lighting above would be so intense that one wouldn't be able to reading the lettering on the underside. Unless, of course, there was a lighting source from below.
