Hey, I’m on holiday at Altitude Adventures in the Pyrenees. Having a great time and, even though I’m not working, I’ve been taking loads of photos. One of them caught my eye as I appear to have snapped a UFO. Not a spaceship, but probably flying and definitely not a lens flare or dust spec (the shots before and after show a couple of dust motes, but no flying thing…)

The forum’s thoughts please?

And a close up…

Thought that was a 90’s Orange full suss bike?

Wingsuit?

Yup. Fat bloke in a wingsuit

Is it the sun ?

reflection is on the wrong side when comparing the shadow of the rocks, my guess is its a bug on the lens?

fake!

Insect or bug on the lens, innit? Massively out of focus on a f11-f22 aperature where the rest of the image is pretty perfect.
Or something like that.

Did you notice a bang?

Sharknado!

Is it Scratt from Ice Age getting into yet another hilarious fix trying to get hold of that acorn? A Ho Ho Ho Ahem.

Drone? Say hi to Steve and Judith for me!

Looks like a Weber BBQ to me, maybe someone’s kicked it into orbit after struggling to get it lit

Massively out of focus

Motion blur?

Is it the STW drone checking up on you? Or an Amazon parcel drone?

7/10 btw

Motion blur?

No, as there is no direction to the blur. It looks more like camera shake except the rest including the cyclist is pretty crisp.
It’s out of focus on an image with a very large dof.
So it’s either very close or very far away. It landed after the previous shot which is why there’s no evidence of it there and probably flew away on the following shots.

The cyclist is bound to be more crisp as it’s coming directly towards the camera.

…And moving.

But still a way off, so it’s relative movement would be small.

Chipps gets an anal probe…..

Good spot re DoF, I’d never have thought of that but it’s conclusive.

So deffo an alien in the form of a bug landing on the lense. Pretty cool.

Quick sharpen of the image and ….

You’ve a couple of spots on the sensor, by the way.

Looks like a little beetle…. or a very very very big space beetle far away!!

I can’t unsee them now

Judging by the length of the exposure [1/1600] and the protruberences, it’s got to be a small thiing very close to the lens and moving rapidly. Slightly red at the front, legs sticking back etc. Shiny too.

Or it’s a flying sheeps’ head.

Dunno.

baby robin?

But still a way off, so it’s relative movement would be small.

So, which side of the ufo is in focus & clear to determine the direction of movement? As you would see when the shutter closed.

It’s the new Australian frisbee-based weapons system undergoing testing. It’s slightly blurred because it’s pissed.

It’s a shutterbug

Drone

Is someone filming drone boning 2?
(search on video, NSFW)

…but with’s a sheep’s head

Where are Mully and Sculder when you need them 🙂

Flying marmot?

Flash Gorden, or rather Zarkov?

It’s a flying pig(let) which means that the new forum must be due any day now.
