For everyone who complains that all UFO photos are blurry...
Last month (April 2007), my wife and I were on a walk when we noticed a very large, very strange "craft" in the sky. My wife took a picture with her cell phone camera (first photo below). A few days later a friend (and neighbor) lent me his camera and came with me to take photos of this "craft". We found it and took a number of very clear photos. Picture #4 is taken from right below this thing and I must give my friend credit as I was not brave enough to get close enough to take this picture myself!
The craft is almost completely silent and moves very smoothly. It usually moves slowly until it decides to take off. Then it moves VERY quickly and is out of sight in the blink of an eye. MORE THAN ANYTHING I simply want to understand what this is and why it is here?
We found your show with Google and I have listened for a few nights now. I have decided that if anyone can help me understand what this thing is, it is you and your audience. I must admit I am deeply unsettled by this thing. I have never seen anything like this in my life... Location: I would prefer not to say for now.

Oh, I'm not Chad...
Just for fun, if we take the idea seriously that these are somehow alien craft, (even though it bears a striking resemblance to an inverted cocktail strainer) what could we imply from that? Bilateral symmetry? A preference for using one side over the other (right vs left 'handed')? Specialized function?
Taken at face value, remaining in the same area would imply searching for something, so the arms might be part of a directional sensor array. So, did the kids wander away from the off-planet picnic? Or be there dilithium crystals 'neath those trees? Where is this supposed to be? Any word on the geology of the area, anyone?
You’re quite welcome, dear brother in Christ!
What camera did you use?
tHANKS!
I’m a “technology illiterate” so I don’t know how to enhance the image. If you are able to increase and clarify the image please let me know what you see. The writing is interesting and has an almost “Hebrew” look to it and the emblem beside it looks like a celtic cross, or at least as far as I can tell.
I don’t know what this object is but I am a believer in this type of thing so I don’t want to dismiss it easily. Having said that, it does look like an “inverted cocktail strainer” but who knows?
Does anyone know where this is or how large the object is?
Chad probably does, but no one seems to know exactly who Chad is...
Thanks. I’ll snoop around and see what I can come up with. If this thing is a “regular” it should be videotaped and the writing(?) should be see clearer. I’m guessing a remote control object by a hobbyist. IMO

Ping to remind me to read #350 and respond when I next come up for air.
A similar "thing" was photographed at Lake Tahoe according to ufocasebook.com.

LOL!
Anyone on the pinglist from Lake Tahoe and wanna go hunting? ;o)

Right: Another odd aerial "drone"? photographed in Central California, on May 6, 2007. Both photographers request anonymity.
(As did "Chad"...)
Dang! That's the same beast!
Good analysis at the link
Is it me or does the one on the right have an extra stabilizer opposite the long “nose” (?) arm? On the left it is a single - but on the right it is a < style, no?
It’s not just you. The one on the left has 4 arms, on the right has 5 arms.
Assuming there is anything rational here, I wonder why?
I too. And the craft seems like a 1-man vehicle - it doesn't seem all the big compared to the trees.
