UFO or Secret Plane Over Tynemouth

I added some contrast and edge enhancement here:

sorry about the quality but had to compress due to upload limits
could be a flying insect of some sort, blurred due to the speed, but the wing shape and body does not look like any insect ive ever seen

also from the contrast enhancement i cannot see a tail of any kind so i dont think it's a kite of any kind.

for some reason the whole photo has a sort of geniuine feel about it, from what i can tell it dosnt look photoshopped in any way.

I took this shot and Im amazed at the amount of comments its getting
If you would like to see a better shot of it have a look at a site i upload my photos on www.usefilm.com...

I took this photo and I have had all kinds of suggestions of what this might be but smoke is about the most stupid yet.
Must be a reasonable explanation for it but I think it has more chance of it been superman than smoke

Whomever was your friend that suggested it to be "the best photo of The Manta Stealth Aircraft ever captured."....this is about the most pointless observation, considering there is little evidence of its existence. However if the TR3-A does exist, do you realize how important it would be if your friend does know what one looks like.

Nevertheless it still looks like smoke to me, I do apologize for over emphasizing it. I just thought it was odd for someone to think I was derailing the thread or going off topic... It's weird for everyone else to call it what they think, but have ye no mercy for me calling it smoke lol. And sorry for calling it a horrible picture, I really meant the UFO being horrible, fuzzy ext.... It is really a very nice picture.

If I was you, I would have it enlarged and hanging on my wall, that picture has made a big trip, it's really a mystery photo

The most amazing thing about its that the craft is EXCATLY the same (inlcluding the wings that are both different in shape) as on the other 2 pics posted on ufodigest. Normally ufos are different on each photo, but not this one., This is real, and i do believe its a black project.

Good job

Sainty do you have the 8 megapixel version? That would provide much more detail.

I don't think its ET nor either the esoteric Black Manta.
Lets just call it a unidentified flying smoke object or UFSO.
I created another illustration, critic's are welcome.

I don't see how you can say these two "UFO's" don't look similiar, this is the UFO,



and this is the X-47A Pegasus,



To me it looks like the Pegasus going across the picture at an angle in a picture that wasn't taken too well.

Maybe I see it a different way.... It could very well be the Pegasus... but are you 100% sure it's the Pegasus?

www.usefilm.com... have a look at that link
You might see it a lot better

Ok.

This is hard for me to say, but i am going to say it any way.

I spent a couple of hours with the origional image (Thank you sainty999) but I have a problem with it.

In my opinion, and only my opinion, its a well made image, but its just that, made.

heres what I did. (so any one with photoshop can do the same...

1) shift + Ctrl + b. auto coloured the image. (Anomalies appear first here)
2) adjust RGB to take out the red and green.....
3) Ctrl + M for curves. Made the image darker by about 15 %, and then you will see the problem I have with this image.


look in the bottom left of the image, and once you see it, darken the image a bit more and you will notice the same happening across the whole image.

There is a lattice running through out the image - Just like a lattice if i took a photo, viewed it on my TFT screen, and then took a photo of the monitor.

Sorry, but I looked at nearly 50 photos of my own to see if this was a camera artifact or some thing, but i cannot get it to happen, unless i take a picture of a picture on my monitor.

What gave it away? Hard to say really, apart from the dirt across the image - try the above and you will see for yourself.

Well all I can say is I stood beside the pier at North Shields with my mate Steve
took the shot on a tripod 1/13s @ f10
I would email you the RAW file but its to big to email but could mail you it
The reason why I mention this RAW file is because I know of no wat to manipulate it. I have also asked a number of photographers one who is a tutor at a local college if it would be possible to do any PS work on just a RAW file and he said no and if you could you would easily be able to check
If you open an image in PS and open the levels you will easily be able to se by the histogram if it has been messed about with
I have two shots of this sky and I do have dust on the sensor and it needs cleaning
When I seen this image I took another shot seconds later of the same portion of sky and this image was gone but the dust was still there
If you take a photo of a TV screen or monitor you would never get the same definition as you can see in the sky
I don’t think and Im not trying to make out that I seen something from out of space or even a secret plane but just something I cant and a friend who is a pilot cant explain.
All I want to do is show that this is a genuine shot that has my name to it and Im not trying to pull the wool over anyone’s eyes
Email me your home address I will mail you all the photos I took that night and if you use CS you will be able to view them in bridge also you can check the files metadata and this will be able to show the time between each shot
All can be explained to show that Im telling the truth

But I can see how you might think it was a kite

Did I read it wrong? You said, I thought, that you only noticed the spot on the camera's LCD after you'd shot it, so I don't see how you can now claim it was 2-3 miles away.

The Tynemouth area is not well known for secret testing of clandestine US aircraft, but is quite popular with kiters (kitists?), with a huge kite festival in August up at Whitley Bay, and is apparently becoming known as a good area for kite-surfing and kite-boarding (the British National Surfing Championships are going to be held there this month, I believe). In fact, Tynemouth was the site of early development of the Flexifoil kite design .

If anything artificial was flying over the beaches that day, it's most likely it was a kite.

But then, I can see how someone could think it might be a UFO

OK if you think it was a kite you believe that, but it must be record to fly it out there dont forget i took it with 200mm lens and that was looking from the coast
