Still the coolest alien pic ever I figure...

So you're telling me...
That you can effectively test this stuff outside real world participation.. I doubt it.
4chan would be the very place to test this live. Where your going to get people trying to manipulate the image in order to post it. A computer simulation won't be able to do stuff like print out physical copies and rephotograph them at angles etc..then reupload them. I'm sure advanced AI facial recognition systems could simulate this behaviour but you would still need to test it with public inventiveness.
IMO

While I agree it's most likely a hoax, it is possible to repair corrupted images. It doesn't always work, but it can be done. Pretending for a moment that it is real and the image was corrupted, someone could have recovered it and then split it into pieces to post the image piece by piece until the entire thing was out.
I suppose a good test to see what is going on would be to post the full image on sites other than 4chan and see what happens. If it gets deleted and posts start disappearing then something highly interesting would indeed be happening, be it an actual alien pic being suppressed by the gov or some test of internet censoring software.

Well this is an interesting thread. I would wonder how someone got such a close up pic of an alien unless they were just letting it out for a stroll before being put back in captivity.
Just seems off to me that a pic with such high definition could be taken so close...and why is that the only one?

Any word on how this was supposedly obtained? The threads were removed so fast I dont recall that portion of the story
I wasn't sure if mods, OP, or Alphabets are deleting. If this gets deleted, at least I'll know it's not OP.
if the mods weren't deleting this # it would never have gotten past the first thread

why are you assuming a human took the picture?
maybe he was near a trail cam?
HD security cam?
Or maybe it's a government agent and he took a lot of pictures.. And smuggled out one?
there's a lot of possibilities if we are already going with "aliens are real"
I'm weirded out by the small leaps of faith mattering for people that would click on an alien thread.
I'm more interested in the effects on the internet.. And my inability to even stay in one thread about it..
That is what is ridiculous.. Are the mods hoaxing us by deleting everything?
Couldn't they let them have ONE thread??
