UFO hoax experiment

I was watching a TV show about UFO sightings, and of course , they kept showing blury, out of focuse snapshots as proof. It was then that I thought "hey, I could do that", and this is the result. These photos were not modified after the fact, except to resize.

I did this by reflecting my flashlight off of the window. The wider "disc shaped" object was created by shining the flashlight through two diffusers that came from an LCD monitor I dismanteled for a different project. The photo below shows the problem presented by double-pane windows.

With a single pane of glass I could have created much more detailed images. I would like to try this again some time under better conditions. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed looking at the photos as much as I enjoyed creating them. ;)

It's OK... we know  that's an alien craft- the Men in Black made you say it was an experiment... mum's the word...

That's actually a pretty cool pic! It looks like the sky is being torn apart. I've made a bigfoot hoax picture before, lol. Nice pic!

Maybe you should contact UFOs R Us. Those are far better than the usual blurry out of focus photos they usually show as "proof". ;)

I believe that many of these pics are doctored which folk say are true and yours look great. The few that are genuine I think are not aliens, but mysterious wonders or reflections that are natural. If the sun is shining it can reflect and cause all sorts of tricks.

To be honest; how many people who don't believe in aliens "see" one and then become convinced? It is the people that believe in them that are always spotting them! ;) Ahh pyscology and the human mind! :o ;D

This is actually quite an interesting prospect, I've not actually  thought of trying a hoax picture before. Time to get the camera!

Wow! You wouldn't believe what just happened! As I went to take a picture, a strange contrail emerged in the upper atmosphere, at extremely high speeds...

Image

Then, just a few seconds later, it came down, and hovered a couple of miles outside of my window!

Unfortunately the picture I took blurred itself for some reason, so the image isn't clear, and before I could take another, it shot off...

Image

There is no contrail in the above picture because I couldn't be arsed to draw another...I mean, it dissipated.

(note, I did this as a piss take because I can't draw a plausible UFO :P)

Oh, and I'll try the light shining on the window when it gets dark!
