Most Boring UFO Ever

People frequently complain about how UFOs never seem to be photographed nice and clear. Well, here's a photo of a UFO that was posted to MUFON the other day that's about as clear as you could ask for. Taken last June in Thousand Oaks, California.

Oh, well, you say, that's obviously a balloon. Which is unfortunate, because what are we supposed to do with spherical UFOs that look like this? Is it just a balloon? Our prejudices get in the way. Too bad.

On the other hand, what are we supposed to do with it? Here it is. A real photo of an alien probe. Historic, really. And all we can do is file it away under "balloon."

There's beauty in symmetry.

How do you know it is an "alien probe"?

That

I gotta stop posting stuff to this board. Really.

Well, if you believe the boring a$$ description of events not only did it pause in mid air it took off with great speed. So, there you have it. The best boring picture of an unknown (possibly blown up) floating object. With all the drones out there now days I miss a good bbt sighting. Even a nice boomerang. These spheres are too hard for my iphone to photograph!

And yet, here's what you said:

I agree. Because we DO know, don't we? There's not even a HINT that this is anything alien, yet we get bombarded constantly with this "light in the sky" nonsense. There is no ambiguity here. There is no mystery. Anyone with half a brain can take a half second look at this thing and know here is nothing at all "alien" about it. But in the spirit of "open-minded inquiry" we're expected to ponder this thing and say, "We don't really know." It's a waste of time. If you are trying to be humorous, stick it in the Jokes section.

I think you should, if you don't want intelligent discussion.

I couldn't deny it if it were. It's rather cool looking.

However, I'm curious to know how many people spotted this and saw it maneuver. If it's just one, I would be seriously skeptical. It looks more like a perfect 3D model that you would create in paint shop or photoshop. I say this because of the perfect shadows and pixels.

Definitely. If you can't handle criticism in a mature way.

I think Blue, who is usually such a fascinating, calm and cool-headed poster, is just having an off-day. Gawd knows I've had a few of those, too!

I'm grateful for the pic, though - whatever it may be.

One things for sure......we can rule out the possibility of it being a Lenticular Cloud.

Just a question here, how would we recognise something as being genuinely "Alien" to mankind, not necessarily off-planet?

Looks like a balloon to me, there is nothing to compare size and distance, the only thing we have is a lone-witness testament and what could be either an accurate description of events or totally wrong perception.

I understand what you’re saying. We don’t know either way but still end up concluding it’s just a balloon. Just a ballon gets accepted and the photo fades into the background and is forgotten, even though it’s still unknown either way. It seems like we feel we have to come to a conclusion one way or the other and since it’s not obvious it a craft we dismiss it. vague photos like this, should be left in the unknown pile until a determination can be scientifically made.

I think it could be CGI.

Everything is too consistent looking.

Like the color of the sky.

Exactly like one that I witnessed...

For goodness sake it’s not a balloon. Has anyone ever seen a white reflective ballon (at top of it) which turns almost black in the shadow (most of it)?

No, of course not.

CGI would be a better debunker argument but it lacks the typical smooth look of CGI.

I think it’s an alien craft which is probably covered in water vapor.

Balloon. Next?









JK, I dunno.
