[FairfieldLife] RE: I saw a UFO recently
This is a good example of how using automated settings on cameras blow out highlights when most of the other part of the picture is darkish. IF it was a UFO there would certainly have been some kind of structure to it that is lost due to overexposure. But walking around with a camera set on S, O or A it would certainly take some nerve to switch to manual to get a good exposure when you encounter something really strange in the sky. Can't guarantee I would be able to do that knowing that a good programme like Lightroom and Photoshop would be able to recover at least some of the seemingly blown-out parts. But if it's really blown out the info there is gone forever. Another thing is that sometimes UFO's can appear and disappear in seconds. When a huge Mothership passed above my balcony in Berlin I had no chance of running to get the camera. It was a beautiful sight though ! Loved your photo of the bird and planes :-)
[FairfieldLife] RE: I saw a UFO recently
Thanks - There was no structural detail on the object - it was disk shaped, with a smooth, flat, or slightly convex, surface. Yes, the bird and planes was an amazing coincidence. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, no_re...@yahoogroups.com wrote : This is a good example of how using automated settings on cameras blow out highlights when most of the other part of the picture is darkish.

[FairfieldLife] RE: I saw a UFO recently
Right, this image is over-exposed, the image is clipped in the digital sensor, zero detail. I once saw an object like this in the evening, in the San Francisco Bay Area, really brilliant. I did not know what it was, so I suppose I could have called it an unidentified flying object. It did not seem to move much. I trained a small reflector telescope on it which had a magnification of 60x and that revealed the object as a weather balloon. It must have been near its maximum altitude because the shape was close to spherical except at the bottom where the instrumentation gondola was, it had inflated to its maximum extent.

Always wanted to get my pilot's license -- I was amazed when I first saw that turboprop, as the wing and tail surfaces simply don't look big enough to generate the lift needed.

[FairfieldLife] RE: I saw a UFO recently
I haven't experienced this myself but some people report that when seeing a UFO the object would change it's course of travel, perhaps halting altogether or coming closer, if the viewer greats the thing with friendly words while staying calm and not getting agitated.

[FairfieldLife] RE: I saw a UFO recently
In my case, it stayed perfectly still, and it was the weirdest thing, but I definitely felt it watching me, and the feeling became more intense, as I scrutinized it. It was miles up, directly above my backyard, inside earth's atmosphere, and had consciousness. Not scary, as I might have imagined, but definitely a unique experience. Definitely changed my opinion of such phenomenon, from quite skeptical, to very possible. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, no_re...@yahoogroups.com wrote : I haven't experienced this myself but some people report that when seeing a UFO the object would change it's course of travel, perhaps halting altogether or coming closer, if the viewer greats the thing with friendly words while staying calm and not getting agitated.
[FairfieldLife] RE: I saw a UFO recently
We should remember that the vast majority of UFO's are coming from very friendly and responsible quarters of our solar-system. The fear of aliens largely created by Hollywood is ridiculous and should disappear. Benjamin Crème calls them our Space Brothers.
