I think 21 mp should have been 2.1 mp. No way those shots came from a 21 mp camera.

“CANON CAMERA GETS THE CREDIT

“The camera I used is a Canon Mark 3, 21 megapixel. The speed was 1600 with a 2 gig card. My husband and I did not see anything in the sky while I took photographs. I give credit to the camera for its quality, speed and the high megapixel to have captured something we could not see with our eyes.”

She was shooting a Canon 1Ds II or III? That’s an $8,ooo camera body...almost as rare as UFOs.

At some point, regardless of the megapixel design of the camera . . . an image blown up sufficiently will show pixelation.

I don’t understand how you could be so confident of such an assertion . . . sounds idiotic to this layman.

Sure, they could have. It all depends on the size of the files she was making for each shot and on what percent of each shot was taken up by the item in question. Even a TIFF taken at the largest file size with a 21 megapixel camera will have things in it that are beyond the camera's resolution.
