Walters is a permanent part of local color here. I have read more than a few of his descriptions/explanations, and eyewitness accounts. He is a very likeable guy. As a local, I know better than to openly question the vacation habits of Gulf Breeze visitors from any part of the solar system. That is a cool model though.
Considering everyone on the planet has the best camera ever made (between the iPhone and Samsung Galaxy), why is there not a single photo? You would think by now if there were UFOs there would be thousands of pics by now.
In a daylight photo at that distance, I don't see any reason the plane should be showing movement blur.
One thing to consider is that may be a 10 ft weather balloon 30 yards from the camera and the plane may be a qtr mile away. Its all about perspective and depth. Ots like two stars that look the same in the sky but one is a bazillion years closer.
There's no doubt ours is one of millions of planets with life. I'm also sure there's intelligent life. But, based on what we now know about the laws of physics, I'm equally sure they could not visit us....or would want to. So, there are UNIDENTIFIED flying objects, but it's an impossible leap for me to conclude the object is an alien craft.
Because, just like cooking and pots/knives, the best equipment does not make the best photos. Quality equipment in the hands of quality craftsmen makes quality results. Have you seen the average person with the best phones?
Do you know what irks me to no end? No, not that a crazy person is doing the filming or a sane person films but somehow does not know how to take blurrless images/videos but rather why there are SO many shapes and sizes of UFOs (now UAPs). And so we think it is a function of the imagination of the huckster and not actual extraterrestrial phenomena. What, they were pat with their "2000" model and then some "Alpha Centauri manipulator" manufactures a "Deluxe 2003 Starpunk SE" with earth-cow leather seats and sleeker lines and now they are feeling like they are behind the curve? They go all over the universe and yet they STILL are susceptible to a hook? Geez Louiz! I thought they were looking for intelligent life on earth, and now we find out that they are just as stupid as us? No wonder they don't know who to contact to be respected by the masses. Gosh, I do hope we haven't "taught" them by beaming all our inane commercials out into space over the past 75 years.
Here's an article by the guy who found the photo. It includes another photo (apparently there were six) of the same object and airplane. https://drdavidclarke.co.uk
I like the story of the guy who claimed he saw a UFO, and when asked how he knew it was a UFO, he said, "It had 'UFO' written on the side of it."
Does anyone have a picture of weather balloon that looks like that? I tried a google image search. All I found was this helpful chart.
Seriously? When you consider how many people have an iPhone 12/13 and how many have the best Android phone, it's pretty much point-and-click. I have thousands of pics on my phone since May that put to shame even the best photographers' DLRs. I agree zoomed pics on a smartphone are still not nearly as good compared to someone like my wife who has a Rebel with superior telephoto lens but still I have yet to see even a decent photo of a UFO this Millennium. This is why I'm still not sold on the idea of aliens from outer space. Sailors who say they saw a UFO yet have no proof? Same sailors who have the best smartphones? In less than 5 seconds I can take a high-quality pic on my phone AND I have. I have several dozen good pics of drones that hover at about 1500 feet and you almost pick out the brand. Don't even get me started on pics I've taken of the Blue Angels flying over the beach at about the altitude of many of these sightings. Yet, nothing. And I do agree night pics are extremely difficult to take; not even the best cameras take great night pictures. It takes someone who knows their camera's features to take quality pictures at night. My brother is a photographer by trade and would be able to grab great pictures but he's never seen one to take one.
The gubmnt has admitted that they have additional UFO footage that they have refused to release as it may harm national security. US Navy Reveals Even More UFO Footage Exists (giantfreakinrobot.com) There’s always been the question of whether there is life in space. The US Navy may have added to the speculation with new footage of what appears to be an unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP) in the air. A Navy spokesperson has stated that the UFO footage would not be released to the public due to it “harming national security.” This comes after the response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was filed. According to Science Alert, the request came specifically from a site called The Black Vault, which has previously shared thousands of UFO-related documents via requests of government agencies. The Black Vault has requested the Navy to turn in evidence of the UAP. However, even the discussion about UFO footage being held creates a lot of smoke. UFO footage undoubtedly will freak the public out. Perhaps this is why The Black Vault is requesting any video of documents related to the UAP. Two years ago, the government responded with a letter confirming the existence of more UAP footage and documents.
