Derek Burdon was left stunned when he took a scenic pictures of the UK capital then noticed four flying saucers on the far right of the picture. Mr Burdon took the photographs 16 floors up on the roof top of Orion House in Covent Garden in the morning. Although invisible to the naked eye, the shapes can be clearly seen on the picture. Derek, 40, of Leverington, Cambs, said: "We couldn't believe it when we came to look at the photo. I just thought I would take some scenic shots of the London Eye and also Big Ben. "There was nothing unusual in the photo and it was only when we flicked through them later that we saw them and then it started a big UFO debate. "I have not tampered with it and you would not be able to fake it. It was taken on my mobile and I guess I am just lucky to have it. These shapes were not visible to the naked eye so it's not as if I was looking for them.

That’s pretty weak evidence, at best.

[brownsfan]

Just amazes me how this stuff continues on. The only one watching us is God.

Louis Farakahn, Mr.Louis Farakahn, please proceed to the white courtesy phone,,,,paging Mr.Farakahn, your ride is here.

[mysterio]

Wow, space monsters have some pretty good aviation lights. Lights up the whole ship even during the day. That’s courteous.

Appears to resemble recess lighting. Like a reflection off of glass in the distance with recess lighting coming from behind the camera. There is so many things this could be.

[randog]

These shapes were not visible to the naked eye...

Well, do ya think that it might be something to do with the camera or optics (reflection) rather than your magical UFO explanation...??

No, I think they want him to go to the top of the big crane on the right.

Definitely not of this world. /sarc

Interior lights reflecting off the glass..

[stormer]

My thoughts.

[JoeProBono]

[stormer]

[Scythian]

Yep, you are right.

[Scythian]

A Good Fake though can be Found Here

[toast]

Recessed can lights reflecting off the window.
I have to stare at the same pattern of reflections when I am trying to watch TV on my plasma.

[classified]

WOW! Kitchen UFO’s in London!

[Wyatt's Torch]

Same thing I thought. Looks like the pic was taken inside and it is a reflection off the glass.

[Kirkwood]

He knew they were there. Otherwise he wouldn’t have framed the picture that way.

"No, we are not stopping. Ferris wheels make me nauseous."

[Gator113]

Are they here to probe us?

[toast]

Is the grayed out version of the picture supposed to prove something?

[McGruff]

ROFL

[JoeProBono]

No

[mowowie]

LOL.

[Quix]

Could you elaborate on this processing of this version, please?

[Revolting cat!]

The aliens are looking for Obama’s birth certificate!

[classified]

I know the person says he took it on the roof top of a building and you can see the railing in the picture, but there are so many variables out there that could cause these lighted areas. I certainly wouldn’t publish the picture and declare that they were invisible UFO’s to the naked eye, only to be viewed in photographs!

[Quix]

Fascinating.

What do you think are the implications when the photo is processed with the embossing feature?

Are you saying it’s MORE likely given the result that there was something there

STICKING OUT FROM the cloud bank above?

[yellow rubber ducky]

Santa Claus v. the Martians?

Anyway, I giggled. :)

[jimt]

Yep, God made a universe with trillions of stars, yet ours is the only one inhabited.

Yah, sure, you betcha !

[IrishPennant]

Yeah...Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, but you win...classic film!

[DCPatriot]

Pinging to list.

It’s London, England folks....not London Connecticut. ;^)

[toast]

Unless you have stereoscopic lenses or are using some sort of radar reflection you aren’t going to be able to discern depth.
An after the fact filtering process is just a computer generated optical illusion.

[Quix]

thanks.

[JoeProBono]

Can't say for sure. Enhancing photos can show details not evident in the original.

[Quix]

More than a little plausible.

However, the embossing process was based on certain real life probabilities.

And, clearly those probabilities have validity else the embossed result would not look like anything interesting or useful.

[Quix]

ONLY GOD IS FOR SURE.

Just seeking your considered and experienced opinion and perspective! as usual.

[usmcobra]

The only movie ever that Pia Zadora was actually good in...+

[nufsed]

Take me to your leader, but first, let’s see his papers. LOL!

[AFreeBird]

I’ll have to go with a reflection of recessed lighting as well.
