UFOs Spotted Above Loch Ness

a reply to: justbe

Yes. So what? Not the first time someone said they were outside when the picture they took says different.

Did you notice what's going on in the lower right quadrant of the image?

a reply to: CallYourBluff

Yes, I notice that too. But they said they went outside to take those pictures. I'm just wondering, are they lying? Did they forget they were outside?
But they really dont look like lamps to me.
Frying pans maybe.

Looks they are filming through a window and that looks like a reflection.

Likely a double-glazed window at that, plus if these are 'objects' why does the right one, (as viewed) seem partially subsumed by the left one?

I agree, it definitely looks like a double reflection of one object.Most likely a lamp.

Here's justbe's picture on the file much better view,

As for going outside, that is not a quote.
What is quoted,
"We can say 100 percent that the camera was perfectly fine. It was raining very heavily, there were no lights in the house to resemble the objects" Why would you mention lights if the picture was taken outside. Anna's Mother may well have gone outside to take a picture, but not that one.

I agree with one poster from the site. Looks like water on the lens.

Good find though

You guys have some water droplets...

The lower right of the picture definitely shows a reflection...like the photo was taken through glass. (But absolutely spotless glass?) At any rate, the ALE brewed in Scotland is very STRONG. I've seen "things" after drinking a couple of pints. Just sayin...

"It was only after the weather dramatically changed from total sunshine to intense cloudiness that Anna's mother went out and snapped a picture of the landscape."

You didnt read all of it

Either way. I dont care. I just think some things are too quickly dismissed.

I read all of it, and like I said, it's not a quote..that is the journal's writer, if that's what the writer was told though, then someone is telling porkies, but we don't know that, because it is not quoted. Like I said if Anna's mother did go out and take a picture, it wasn't that one, but could have been another, so the overall context is not clear in the written story, just pieces stitched together, giving a different slant.

Is anybody reading the article?

I admit that I missed the part of "the lady went outside," in my earlier mentioning that it may be a reflection in a double-pane window. That solution was based on the blown-up portion.

Another look at the regular image shows the object(s) as quite distinct. So I'm thinking too distinct and sharp for a lens problem or a reflection on a window. My best guess for a conventional object is that it is a single-engine float plane coming in to land and maybe why the image was captured but that point escaped the memory of the photog. --And yes, it could be a genuine UFO.



ETA: There is a bug in somebody's program that won't allow me in two attempts to remove the underline and use a period at the end of my first sentence.

That is meaning in the singular, but there are two almost identical images portrayed, so either it's still taken through glass, or that there are two aircraft stuck together on landing or take-off. Notwithstanding that, the Huff post blowup appears to show something fairly unique for a tailplane section. Looping the loop all day and eventually dying rings a bell.

Just to add here BT.Com's version, there's a doggy involved as well,


As if having a monster on the doorstep wasn’t enough, a tourist visiting Loch Ness claims he has photographic evidence of two UFOs flying over the famous lake.

Alan Betts was on holiday with his wife Anna and her parents, when the group captured the image, seen above, of two mysterious disc-shaped objects flying over the famous freshwater loch in the Scottish Highlands.

The picture was taken by Anna's mum, Tatiana, but it wasn't until Alan and his wife returned to their home in York and started looking through their holiday snaps that the bewildered couple discovered the strange white shapes hovering over the loch.

They were staying at a holiday cottage near Urquhart Castle when the shot was taken.

Anna Betts

Alan said he was usually very sceptical about UFOs but couldn't offer an explanation for the spooky picture.
"Our Akita dog, Yuka, was strangely unsettled that night. He never barks but I remember we were laughing at the time saying that he'd seen Nessie because he was looking outside from the cottage window and barking at the sky,” said Alan.

“We couldn't see anything at that time though.

"We had been very lucky with the weather and were stunned with the view we had, it was almost constant sunshine but then that day, when we got back to the cottage after a day of sightseeing, the weather suddenly changed.

"We'd not seen it change that quickly before, which is why my mother-in-law went outside to take a general landscape picture.

"After the holiday we were looking through the pictures on our PC, as they were taken on a digital camera.

"On the PC screen the resolution was better and it was only then we saw the objects, when we zoomed in we were in shock.

"I can't offer any logical explanation, I am probably one of the most sceptical people you could find about things like this but I just can't explain what it is.

“I know what it looks like though."

"We showed the pictures to Anna's parents who were as shocked as us and her dad is probably more sceptical than me."

This time, the Mother going outside to take the picture is a quote, but there again there is no mention of lights inside, (for obvious reasons) when you are telling a story. So there you are same story only different, the Huff decided to drop the dead doggy! BT decided to drop the"no inside lights"

The highly suspicious "window" bug. It's not a bug, it's a feature.

Off topic:

A "feature" in your book is a bug on my machine when what I type comes out on ATS with no connection to my intend or meaning. Or perhaps I need a better understanding of your "feature?"

On topic:

Maybe those circles on the lower right are mini-crop circles? /Why not? ...Goes with the territory?

No. Just a better grasp of nerd humor.

IF it was a reflection, shouldn't it be the photographer?
Especially being dead center an' all..

Only if the camera was perfectly parallel to whatever window they were shooting from.

a reply to: justbe

The photo was taken from inside the room, looking through dual paned glass.

You can see the reflection of curtains on the bottom right hand side.

The UFO, or UFO's in question is a lamp..

You beat me to it - clearly reflections on a window.

...and just to add to that I think I found the cottage (for what it's wprth), at a small place called Lenie, just south of Drumnadrochit:
