"Real" alien pic shuts down 4chan

a reply to: MissBeck

Yeah I've done an image search and I'm sure it was just a cactus..the type with the big flat pads that stick out

So that's me done..

The only two images that I think have any likely relevance are the composite alien and the one with the shadow and hikers.

All the rest I'm done with and can't be bothered looking at new ones as they will almost certainly be 100% bogus.

If there is any truth to any of this, it's in the two pics I mentioned for the reasons I've mentioned in this thread.

But it's atleast 50/50 as to the whole thing being a hoax.

if its not a hoax
it was poorly handled by the TPTB

next time hire a consultant

Lol





I'm sticking with this. Will see if any leads turn up like the uncropped image

a reply to: Counterintelligence

Can you see that something standing there would cast a shaodw at a different angle? Look at all the others.

a reply to: roadgravel

Yes I know what you mean..but I think that might be down to the perspective.
I'll look to see if I can find an image that might illustrate what I mean..and I'll get back to you

If you look up shadows and perspective you'll find examples right here on Earth..

Long time lurker. Just joined to tell you I know the exact image you're talking about.

I tried to upload it to Imgur, but I've never used it, so I don't think I did it right.

Is there an easy way to embed photos on here?

Anyway, I did a reverse search on that one, and the background came up in Google.

I'm having problems with imgur

The plot thickens

Corse you could just post directly to here instead

dont know how to do it sorry , but im trying.

a reply to: cld111

Bingo.

Thanks for posting it.

So looking at it again it actually doesn't look like as much of a cactus..as I though it did. Still might be one though

Let's get stuck into this one and try to figure out what the hell it is..if we can

a reply to: Counterintelligence

This image wouldn't upload for some reason, but the background shows up on Google.

a reply to: Counterintelligence

Put do we know tha facts for that pic? One, two people, tripod, etc.

that cactus just looks like a Lophocereus schotti

Ok I'm giving it a break ...I'll be back later

Everytime I upload the picture I have it's being deleted, or otherwise not working within minutes. Both on TinyPic now and Imgur. I thought this was *maybe* sort of true but to see the stuff I'm putting up actually getting pulled down is freaking me out a bit.

Edit: it's this picture here, but I cut the image itself out and saved it i.4cdn.org...

Yes, this one! The one I shared the screen cap of. The image you can't upload is the same image that was scrubbed from both 4chan and the 4chan archives after being posted the night before last. Isn't that interesting that when you try to crop and upload it, it fails, almost like there must be some truth to the idea that sites have an image filter to remove the image.

Fortunately, today I managed to find someone who had that screenshot which for whatever reason seemed to dodge the filter that was in place. Two nights ago when I first saw it, there were two other versions (I said there were only two originally, but I misremembered, there were three). There was one with only a few colors, purple/grey/blue/black/white, and there was one that was almost entirely black. Between the three of them, you could make out a bit of detail of what appears to be a small figure or object in the front left, one which was conveniently covered by the obviously fake alien head.

Also, to those who are saying the shadows are wrong, I beg to differ. Look at the low lying patch of woody scrub directly to the right of the humanoid shadow (a few feet in front of the tree): the scrub's shadow also runs behind and a bit right, just like the humanoid shadow. Shadows don't always track exactly the same direction, sometimes they cast off at slight angles as you look across a landscape.

ETA: Another possibility to those having problems with the shadow is that there may be a small embankment in the foreground that we can't see due to the camera's perspective. Again, look at the shadow of the woody scrub to the right of the humanoid shadow, its shadow is also going off at an angle similar to the humanoid shadow. Perhaps both its shadow and the humanoid's are being cast against a small embankment.
