Hi, Jack & all the rest;
Nice to hear from you once again. It's been a while.
On the "alien probe" photos, I agree; this looks like some very
imaginative
model and photoshopwork. While I was working for General Dynamics and the
special effects company Introvision back in the early 1980's, I had
occasion
to work in photo retouching, matte painting, as well as create scale
models
that were photographed with the intention of making them look like actual,
full-sized weapons systems. (Among other things). Christopher Ross, the
brother of my college room mate, worked as a model builder for Industrial
Light & Magic. I saw the original models for the Enterprise star****p for
the
first Star Trek feature film as it neared completion along with its scaled
"space dock". I have seen the best people in the motion picture industry
at
work, have visited their studios on multiple occasions, and closely
examined
their model work. This is amateurish by comparison. Heck, it even uses the
exact same tone of flat, gray gel coat that model builders use in their
fiberglass mockups! The uniformity of the exterior color is one clue to
the
fact that this is a model. There are no seams, slight variations in
surface
color or texture as one would expect from a thirty to sixty foot craft
constructed of multiple panels to develop the surface. I believe that it
is
probably no larger than six to seven feet in its longest dimension. Size
would have to be limited to be able to string it up with 90 pound fi****ng
line! LOL
Another give-away is the brightly illuminated underside, while retaining a
nice, perfectly exposed sky. I have spent twenty seven years photographing
military aircraft, (both from the back seat of F-15's, F-4's,F-16's, and
the
A-7K and on the ramp) as well as painting illustrations of them, and I can
tell you that a large vehicle, (as this "craft" alleges to be) would have
had its ventral surface (belly) completely blacked out in shadow in order
to
have such a perfectly exposed sky while hovering above treetop level.
Conversely, had the underside been so beautifully exposed, the much
brighter
level of light from the sky should have been washed out and almost white.
But in order to satisfy the light exposure as shown, one COULD accomplish
that by having a six foot model photographed from about six feet off the
ground in broad daylight. With the secondary light source of the ground in
such proximity, one might actually be able to balance the two light
sources:
the sky and the ventral surface illuminated by reflected light from the
ground.
This all says "MODEL" loud and clear to me. In sup****t of this theory,
note
that there is a slight warmth to the ventral lighting suggesting a nearby
reflected lightsource, such as the tan-colored, dried grass seen elsewhere
in the photos. That sort of reflected light could never balance with nor
overpower the lightsource of the sky from thirty to seventy feet off the
ground passing over the trees.
And to have another guy jump in with an additional set of shots of a
remarkably similar craft only says "conspiracy" in my book. Note the
vegetation. It's the same in both sets even though the photos are supposed
to have been taken miles apart on different days.
Bottom line:
I SAY THEY'RE FAKE!
Warm Regards to All,
Mark McCandlish
