I have a genuine night picture that I took while on holidays of a Yetti being attacked while swimming in a 'no swim zone' by a (perhaps THE) Loch Ness monster...in the background you can clearly see 4 ORBS circling the two creatures and what appears to be a UFO only 1000 feet above them, but I didn't submit it to the newspapers because it was in digital format and I didn't think they'd believe me...I used my Nikon D200, but I forgot to put film in it, so I only have a digital shot
This thread has encouraged me to call the local newspapers...

I've got friends with pot lights like that, but I never would have thought to use them in that manner. Excellent capture, would love to know how you pulled off the very specific lighting. |

Thanks for the light fitting reflections Saj..that one has been done numerous times.
People fake UFO picture all the time. People fake famous paintings all the time...but there has to be an original to copy.
It's nice to see the loch ness monster and foil hats brought out yet again..I never tire of it..it keeps me laughing for hours on end...really, I'm wiping the tears away here.
Colonel L. Gordon Cooper (Astronaut USA)
âI believe that these extraterrestrial vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet from other planets, which, obviously are a little more technically advanced than we are here on Earth. I feel that we need to have a top level, coordinated program to scientifically collect and analyze data from all over the earth concerning any type of encounter, and to determine how best to interface with these visitors in a friendly fashion. We may first have to show them that we have learned to resolve our problems by peaceful means, rather than warfare, before we are accepted as fully qualified universal team members. This acceptance would have tremendous possibilities of advancing our world in all areas. Certainly then it would seem that the UN has a vested interest in handling this subject properly and expeditiously.â
Cooper, addressing a United Nations panel discussion on UFOs and extraterrestrials in New York in 1985. The panel was chaired by then Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim.
âFor many years I have lived with a secret, in a secrecy imposed on all specialists and astronauts. I can now reveal that every day, in the U.S.A., our radar instruments capture objects of form and composition unknown to us. And there are thousands of witness reports and a quantity of documents to prove this, but nobody wants to make them public.â
Cooper testifying to a United Nations committee.
âAs far as I am concerned, there have been too many unexplained examples of UFO sightings around this Earth for us to rule out the possibilities that some form of life exists out there beyond our own world.â
âI know other astronauts share my feelings, and we know the government is sitting on hard evidence of UFOs!â
âWe thought they could have been Russian. We regularly had MiG-15s overflying our base. We scrambled our Sabre jets to intercept and got to our ceiling of 45,000 feet ... and they were still way above us traveling faster than we were. These vehicles were in formation like a fighter group, but they were metallic silver and saucer-shaped. Believe me, they werenât like any MiGs Iâd seen before! They had to be UFOs.â
Cooper said he first encountered UFOs as a military pilot in Germany in the early 1950s, when unidentified craft were spotted over an air base.
âI had a camera crew filming the installation when they spotted a saucer. They filmed it as it flew overhead, then hovered, extended three legs as landing gear, and slowly came down to land on a dry lake bed! These guys were all pro cameramen, so the picture quality was very good. The camera crew managed to get within 20 or 30 yards of it, filming all the time. It was a classic saucer, shiny silver and smooth, about 30 feet across. It was pretty clear it was an alien craft. As they approached closer it took off." When his camera crew handed over the film, Cooper followed standard procedure and contacted Washington to report the UFO and âall heck broke loose,â he said. âAfter a while, a high-ranking officer said when the film was developed I was to put it in a pouch and send it to Washington. He didnât say anything about me not looking at the film. Thatâs what I did when it came back from the lab and it was all there just like the camera crew reported.â When the Air Force later started Operation Blue Book to collate UFO evidence and reports, Cooper says he mentioned the film evidence. âBut the film was never found, supposedly. Blue Book was strictly a cover-up anyway.â
In 1957, Cooper was one of an elite band of test pilots at Edwards Air Force Base in California, in charge of several advanced projects, including the installation of a precision landing system.
âI had a good friend at Roswell, a fellow officer. He had to be careful about what he said. But it sure wasnât a weather balloon, like the Air Force cover story. He made it clear to me what crashed was a craft of alien origin, and members of the crew were recovered.â
Cooper revealed heâs convinced an alien craft crashed at Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947 and aliens were discovered in the wreckage.
âIt started in World War II, when the government didnât want people to know about UFO reports in case they panicked,â said Cooper. âThey would have been fearful it was superior enemy technology that we had no defense against. Then it got worse in the Cold War for the same reason. So they told one untruth, they had to tell another to cover that one, then another, then another ... it just snowballed. And right now Iâm convinced a lot of very embarrassed government officials are sitting there in Washington trying to figure a way to bring the truth out. They know itâs got to come out one day, and Iâm sure it will. America has a right to know!â
A statement when asked why has the government kept its UFO secrets for so many years? Cooper was a Mercury-9 and Gemini-5 astronaut.

*sheesh*
Lighten up...no need to be rude.
Sure it's been done. But hey, that's the time I did it. And frankly, I think they came out really well.

Sorry, this line just seemed to come across harshly. I think if you posted a flower or something and I retorted "nice lily....been done numerous times."
"Thanks for the light fitting reflections Saj..that one has been done numerous times."
Sorry if you didn't mean it that way. I just felt like here I had fun photos that I took. Sure they're not real. But hey, they were fun. And then I felt I just felt slammed.

The photo is well done and I'm sure many people would say it was a UFO.
I was referring to fake UFO pictures, not your picture in particular;)

Think maybe the aliens know that and have increased thier stealth technology?

Didn't you know? Aliens gave us digital camera technology modified so they couldn't be photographed!!! That's why they have such a low profile nowadays.... ;-)

Sorry, this comment shows, for want of a better word -ignorance. Leaving the insanity part behind - many, many UFO sightings are reported by pilots (military and civilian), policemen, and others who are classified as credible witnesses. But why bother with the facts when you can just dimiss everything with your professional diagnosis of 'Insanity'. |
prove it |
