Aloha Alex....

I'm not sure of the significance of this thread.  If you say you
saw an anomaly and photographed it, then you did as far as I am
concerned. I think you can be taken at your word. Even so, if it
is not lens flare, it is not identifiable as anything either
terrestrial or extraterrestrial so what is the point? Everyone
agrees that there are unidentifiable lights in the sky, and the
fact that you and millions of other people have seen and
photographed them is interesting.

But the discussion has digressed to the point where people are
suggesting that UFOs intentionally spoof camera optics to mimic a
natural camera phenomenon while appearing as something else to a
live observer. Is it that two sets of photons are on the same
path but one set enters only the camera and one set enters only
the observer's eye?  As my english professor used to state so
eloquently:  "How do it know?"

Has it come to the point when everything anyone sees is an ET
craft?  And if it happens to look exactly like an airplane or a
falling star, or a black helicopter or a lens flare, does that
merely mean that the ETs have nothing better to do than defy the
known laws of physics for the purpose of creating optical
illusions on the off-chance that a UFO investigator with a camera
might be looking up?????

Apparently so. I wasn't a skeptic when I joined the list. I
wanted to learn things I don't know, of which there are a LOT.
But I am starting to become convinced that no one knows much of
anything and either make up explanations for everything they
don't understand, or claim that they HAD all the evidence but the
MIBs stole it in the middle of the night.  It's B.S.!

It IS a lens flare....IT'S NOT a lens flare... IS...... NOT....
IS...... NOT....... What difference does it make? What is proven
one way or the other?  Nothing!  It is not evidence of ANYTHING!
