Photo of UFO in London, a speedometer?

Cool looking UFO photo, shot by a student taking tourist shots in London. You can see the photo and get the full story here, I don't know what that sites retention is like so here's an alternative link to the photo on Phantoms and Monsters.

The article mentions that experts feel it's genuine, but they seem to come from the angle that it's not fabricated or a hoax. If you look at the circumstances the photos were taken in maybe it could be a little simpler, taken from a car, were they shot through glass? and could it be a reflection?, to me the UFO looks like an illuminated speedometer reflecting off glass.

But hey, I think there's a couple more photos from this person, so who knows.

Update: here's a great analysis of the photo, even compares it with photos of speedometers.

Hundreds of UFO and Cropcircle Photos

Entity over at The Book of Thoth forums has posted up a link to a huge collection of UFO and cropcircle photos.

When I say huge I mean like 1500 images huge, awesome collection.

Teenage Alien Angst

What if Earth were the Alien equivalent of the haunted house across town where the creepy cat lady lived, what if they were nothing more than teenage Aliens with angst and a fancy for causing a ruckus. The signs are there, lets explore.

• UFOs travel really really fast, so do pimped out cars.
• UFOs are stylish with a certain amount of bling factor, so are pimped out cars.
• UFOs crash sometimes, so do boy racers.
• They must have some connections because the crashes are covered up pretty well, just like boy racers with well off parents.
• UFOs appear high in the sky, boy racers just high.
• Aliens seem shy, so do most teenage humans.
• Nobody knows where aliens come from or what they're doing, same can be said about human teens.
• They are prone to sporadic bouts of revealing themselves, human teens are prone to spontaneous bouts of showing off.
• We all know about aliens and probes, teenagers find that funny to.
• Aliens like to mess with cows, ever heard of cow tipping, it's a popular rural pass time here on Earth.

From the list above we can begin to paint a picture, aliens could have to much time on their hands, with no sense of real purpose apart from the desire to seek out cheap thrills and to live in the moment.

Earth could be that creepy place where the strange creatures live, a place full of possible mischief, without consequences that is only visited every now and then mainly because it's kind of out of the way and off the main circuit. Flying around like your a rally car driver on the perfect road without a care in the world, stopping off to tip some cows (cattle mutilations and you know how humans love to wear dead animals) and maybe even that door knocking at the haunted house leaving a bag of flaming poop on the porch (sleep paralysis, abduction and probes).

In the end leaving earth with tales to tell, a few trophies and bragging rights. But you know they'll be back because some other teenage alien will definitely want to top the other.

Please take the above with a huge grain of salt.

The Day I Saw a UFO

I Wrote about this awhile back, it was actually one of my first posts to MPL, I've always meant to make something graphical to show what we saw with out explaining to much.

I still have doubts, it could be a weather balloon, but it really doesn't make sense. We watched the two objects for quite awhile, the white ball seemed solid and perfectly round and the metallic square was flat, seemed the size of a car hood maybe bigger and was spinning in all directions, they looked to be at the same height and seemed a good distance away from each other.

The picture shows pretty much what we saw, we couldn't see anything attaching the two objects, the picture also shows how large these objects were, we could clearly see them and apart from the features I mentioned above there was nothing else of detail.

Could it just be a weather balloon?

Here's the full photo, it's the view from my house.

New drone photo with a ground unit.

UFO Casebook has a new drone photo, this time though there's some kind of ground unit, looks to me like a docking device.

I don't know about this, the thing that strikes me most is that the ground device it placed in some pretty long looking grass, but the feet supporting the object are still very visible, I would imagine that the grass would be covering them up.

I'm actually enjoying this whole strange drone craft thing, mainly because the images are just cool looking and I am enjoying seeing new photos every now and then.

I'm covering most of what I find in my post titled UFO Drone photos inspired Videos, which contains links to the drone photos, the videos on youtube inspired by the photos and a few other things related to this continuing saga.

Odd Mondays Ufos Earth and Big Cats

Ok a couple of days late but better late then never.

I bookmarked this story not reading it mainly because of the picture and head line. Turns out the photo was taken in my own country, something to look into more I think. The title of the story "Is it a UFO or a flying saucer?" got me thinking, aren't they the same thing but then if you see it is a flying saucer well then it ain't unidentified anymore is it. The photo was taken in February 1965 while the navy cruiser Royalist was in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand. My first impression of the photograph was that it was a parachute but I find it hard to tell.

This video illustrating exactly how small we are in the scheme of things filled me all sorts of thoughts like why I hadn't studied astronomy instead of art.


Giant paw prints mystery this looks like a good mystery for a crypto group to look into, seems like Suffolk has a big cat on it's hands.

Thought I caught me some UFOs, Just Orbs though

When I came across this shot while browsing a batch of photos I had taken I thought that I had captured some UFOs, a second later I remembered that they were birds, if I hadn't remembered that I would probably still be thinking that I had caught UFOS on film.

I think it's so easy to mistake objects for more than what they are, really have to be careful. If I had of come on here and blogged about what I thought I had caught in a photograph I probably would have got slammed with a bunch of negative feedback (when I say slammed I mean a comment or two).

This brings me to orb photos, awhile back I posted about how I was going to try and capture orbs in photos in these posts Ghosts Monsters Orbs and aliens, Hunting for Orbs but got me a Dragon, as you can tell back then I had a bit more respect for the whole orb phenomenon but since then I am now taking a load more photos and what I have found out is that orbs a very very common, about 1/8 of the photos I take have orbs in them and I put all of them down to dust, smudges, light etc. Atleast until I see one that looks really cool. So what I'm going to do is try and come up with a technique that'll produce orbs every time and share it with y'all.

In the mean time check out the Flickr group Scary Creepy Weird, for some scary, creepy, weird photos.

Also the catagories don't work that well so I'll have to wait untill I get offered beta.
