Rich and his friend Ed decided to take advantage of the weather and go hiking on San Miguel Mountain...There to their utter astonishment was a typical saucer shaped UFO. It was mind blowing. It seemed to just drift over a hill and stop, hovering just 200 years away. Rich had been videoing some of their walk, they had been taking a new route, with his cell phone. So it was still in his hand when the flying saucer manoeuvred toward their position.
They’re called artifacts, and it’s the effect of trying to enhance a JPEG in Photoshop, or to compress the number of bytes of the image so it loads more quickly on the web. Nothing nefarious in that.
Selecting with the marquee tool in a square, then sharpening, would produce the same thing. If someone is going to the trouble to render this shape, and place it in an image, they’re going to do a neat silhouette mask and layer it in, not a square cut and paste.

That’s true.. it just really stands out that it has been modified in some way.
I’m going to try that out on another area of the image and see if the results are the same.
We agree that it’s not genuine, and are just at odds on the method. The guy leaving out the actual cell phone video for just a few stills is sort of telling, too.
Sarcasm -— right?
EXACTLY! ... The pic is a fake.
hmmmmmmm
No.
It’s been in the literature for decades.
It’s evidently essential for such fast travel through air without destructive temperatures destroying tings . . . and perhaps even has some effect on helping make the right angle turns etc. doable.
I think it looks like an upside-down gold mining pan. I have a few.
Probably more likely. Histogram equalization should bring this out rather nicely ...
Laminar flow breaks down at “fast travel” ie anything that man has flying these days. And I am not at all sure what “literature” you are referring to. There is no book on UFOdynamics that I am aware of (at least not by anyone who knows anything about compressible flow.) So I will continue to assume that you are being sarcastic else wise you need to do some serious studying.
They’ve come to discuss Plan 9 from outer space with Democrat voter registrars.
I believe Stephen King and Isaac Asimov have released several scientific papers on the physics of it. :->
I’m a photographer. Those are jpeg compression artifacts made worse by the cut and paste in Photoshop.
It isn’t real.
I’m not a physicist.
consult Stanton Friedman et al
There have been a lot of pages published about such things.
I would suspect that it would depend on the . . . sophistication and degree of advancement of the technology producing the ionization etc. etc. etc.
My assumptions are that the public textbooks that might apply are decades out of date.
You are the expert.
I’m just guessing about such things and have persistently admitted that.
are you series? those are artifacts from manipulation.
