Debunking a Photograph

By , About.com Guide   January 11, 2012

Follow me on:

Here is something you might want to look at. The Telegraph.com.au, normally known as a reliable source, made a mistake by picking up an article from The Sun. Datelined January 5, 2012, they posted an article titled, Best Ever Photo of UFO Taken in Britain...

Of course the date implies that the photo was taken recently. I knew I had seen it before, and after some searching I discovered that the article and photo were really from 2008. To make matters worse, the object is nothing more than a bird. Check it out and see if you agree with me.

It’s a rare and elusive UFO-Shaped Canary. As you can see by the blurring in the high speed photo, it’s traveling at least 3000 mph. Stay away from bird feeders: these birds will fly right through you like a rifle bullet. LOL!

It’s now wonder that Ufology has such a bad name !!!!

This is clearly a bird (probably a gull of some kind) captured in flight. It’s a blurry image simply because the photograph was taken with a slow shutter speed. And, like you Billy, I also remember this photograph “doing the rounds” back in 2008.

Thank God we have a free press in our country…cos, with rubbish like this I certainly wouldn’t want to pay for it !!!! :-)

It could be almost anything, but I do believe it’s probably a bird.
