"The Colonel has a photo of the lights he saw and they strongly resemble the out-of-focus photo of streetlights I posted above. Even in his picture there is no appreciable difference between the "UFO" and the lights of the radio tower he admits is on the right. His photo proves nothing and is useless as a record of what he saw since it is so out-of-focus."
I agree with this. I'm not too convinced that any photo, particularly in the digital age, can ever be considered as evidence of UFO sightings. Credibility still rests on the reputation of the witness, like it always has.
Now you have changed the subject. Are you talking about out-of-focus objects or in-focus objects? Static or moving objects?
