		<description>Yep.  Looks exactly like every slow shutter exposure of an airplane at night.  UFO&#039;ers dont ever bother understand the first thing about how cameras work, like &quot;exposure&quot;.  Google &quot;slow shutter&quot; images for lots of &#039;unidentified phenomenon.&#039;  I saw a documentary where Sudanese villagers believed that passing planes were &#039;things of the gods&#039; because they didnt know any better.  Same problem here.  

These lights may seem mysterious until you understand how cameras work. In order for a dark, night time image to expose well, photographers use a longer exposure/slower shutter speed to allow more light into the camera.  An artifact of this is that any moving object will &#039;motion blur&#039; and a moving light will expose as an elongated streak.  A blinking strobe or beacon light on an airplane will blink a number of times in one exposure (depending how long it is), resulting in what appears to be a &#039;row&#039; of lights (try whipping a laser pen around and u get a similar effect).  But its really just one light blinking ON more than once during the length of exposure.  Strobes are on the wingtips, which are higher than the fuselage lights, so they appear &#039;on top&#039; of the longer streaks left by the steady nav lights.   There are countless examples of airplanes in slow shutter to be found online.</description>

		<description>The only rational way to find the truth is to keep an open mind. If you believe strongly that UFOs are real but refuse to listen to other opinions, you end up hurting your case and no one will believe you even if you had hard evidence in UFOs. On the other hand, if you refuse to even accept the idea that there could be other life out there just doesn&#039;t sound rational to me. You can never prove a negative.  But I also say &quot;Bless you,&quot; when someone sneezes, to ward off evil spirits, so, so much for rationality.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s the problem with Digital Photography and Photoshop, unless you see the original digital file or the film you may never know if the image is a fake. 

Taking a look at the image again, it could be anything and assuming that it really is on the image I guess it is a UFO in the true sense of the word. And Unidentified Flying Object. 

I&#039;m sure if anyone truly cared enough they could get the flight plans for that day and find out what was in the sky in that area around that time. If they say that a helicopter or plane was there around then, case solved. But if they claim nothing was there at all, that&#039;s a whole different story.</description>

		<description>i don&#039;t know what you guys are talking about! It MUST be a UFO, the proof is in the picture! 

Just because you don&#039;t want to believe doesn&#039;t mean you should close your eyes to the truth.  UFO&#039;s are real, deal with it!</description>

		<description>That looks like the area up around where the hospitals are... no? First glance and I thought &quot;Looks like helicopter props... did this guy Photoshop out the rest?&quot; but that&#039;s just me.</description>

		<description>Yep, it&#039;s clearly something blurred, like an airplane. It irks me when UFO hunters try to pass crap like this off as a possible alien craft, especially in cases where it&#039;s clearly an insect flipping its wings and creating a wavy/dashed light.  Or when ghost hunters see a piece of dust that is picked up by the night vision light and is claimed to be a &quot;sprite&quot;.</description>
