Is that a UFO over Cornwall?
Posted on Thursday, January 03, 2008 (CST) by Thoth
 The classic flying saucer shape is seen above two ships. And UFO watchers believe it could be proof we are not alone. Kelvin Barbery snapped the mystery object from a coastal path between Swanpool and Maenporth, near Falmouth. In a weird twist, Kelvin, 55, did not even see the UFO at the time.
He thought he was just taking a sea view — but when he loaded the digital camera card on to his computer, the round metallic “craft” was in the centre of the shot, about two miles away. Kelvin, a facilities manager for schools, said: “There were a couple of tankers out in the bay and I thought that it made a nice shot.
“There was nothing in view and certainly no fault on the camera. “When I got home I couldn’t believe what I had. I thought, ‘Wow, where did that come from?’ I’m not the sort to believe in UFOs — now I’m not so sure.” Nick Pope, one of Britain’s foremost UFO experts, said the photo was one of the best he had seen.
Nick,
formerly the official Ministry of Defence UFO analyst, said: “If I was
still there I’d be looking at this very closely. The object looks
structured, symmetrical and metallic. This man has caught something
very interesting indeed.”
Michael Soper, of the
Contact International UFO group, agreed: “This does appear genuine.
Digital photos can be doctored but everything about it appears
consistent.”
Kelvin took his picture at 3.31pm on December 29, with a Nikon D80 Digital SLR on automatic.

(User Info | Send a Message) http://www.artberry.net | | Yes I agree although I'd say it's most likely some form of Gull. I live in Cardiff Wales which is only a couple of hundred miles from Cornwall as the Seagull flies, and these birds are very common around coastal areas of the UK and up to about 50 miles inland which includes most of the UK. They are particularly partial to Landfill sites, and like Pigeons are common in many inner city areas where they scavenge for scraps from the trash bins outside fast food outlets like Mac Donald's and Burger King although they also like Keebabs and Pizza and baguettes LOL |

(User Info | Send a Message) | | could well be a gull...or tern...but bird no doubt. I live in a coastal area...these birds learned to frequent all of the local fast food establishments, and will flock if you throw one french fry out the window of your car. It's easy to see how the photographer didn't see it when he took the picture...he was looking at the ships through a lens. |

(User Info | Send a Message) | | Before I saw the above comment, I thought it looked like a bird too, but couldn't name a species. |

(User Info | Send a Message) http://www.artberry.net | I'm not UFO debunker and have seen a number of UFOs myself including a stingray craft over Cardiff back in 2006. and although the memory is a bit vague I seem to remember seeing a flying saucer as a small child in the 1960s, at an age when I didn't really know there was supposed to be anything unusual about such things. So I definitely believe UFOs exist and think some may be of ET origin.
However I'm surprised Nick Pope is reported to have said the photo was one of the best he had seen. Because I can say with 100% certainty without a shadow of a doubt in my mind this is some form of seagull. In fact although there's motion blur, as an artist I can see enough information in this photo to draw or paint a passable representation of a seagull in flight it's quite clear and clearly not a UFO of any kind.
So I don't know what to make of this story really, it's a joke. I wonder therefore if it's some form of attempt to discredit Nick Pope? |
