This is an easy one to disprove. The photograph is taken at the eastern end of the Wrynose Pass in Seathwaite, Cumbria (at the junction with Side Gates). The mountain in the background is Pike Of Blisco on Wrynose Fell. The police car is a Ford Maverick which hasn't been sold in the UK since 1999 and hasn't been used by Cumbria Constabulary since about 2004. The photograph shows Wrynose Pass closed to traffic. Wrynose Pass was definitely not closed to traffic at any time on the 30th October 2010. Therefore - hoax. And a pretty poor one at that.
The account includes two words spelled in the American form, not British - "materialize" instead of "materialise," and "maneuver" instead of "manoeuvre." Why would Brit cops use American spelling?

I wonder about people sometimes... you think you come to a website where everyone's "awake", and smart, but in the end a vast majority is mentally retarted, and as much a sheep as everyone else in America.

When I 1st saw the photographs I too thought that the police uniform and vehicle were dated. But the mistake they made in this hoax was that they claimed that they stopped because of the UFO but you can clearly see that they were there to stop traffic from going down Wrynose Pass. I think the photo might be of an RAF jet doing some low flying manauvers as a poster previously mentioned the RAF tend do in these valley's & someone has added a black triangle on top of it's trajectory.edit on 24-2-2011 by mclarenmp4 because: For clarification

both pictures as submitted are fakes.
1) there are abnormal pixelation discrepancies

2) The EXIF data from both pics has been removed
entirely. One would do this if they were trying to
cover-up a photo-shopped image.
But don't take my word for it.
Look at it for urself.
It's a lot easier to see the
anomaly if you invert the colors before
you zoom in.
IMO, it's a hoax
Aerial perspective or atmospheric perspective refers to the effect the atmosphere has on the appearance of an object as it is viewed from a distance. As the distance between an object and a viewer increases, the contrast between the object and its background decreases, and the contrast of any markings or details within the object also decreases. The colours of the object also become less saturated and shift towards the background color, which is usually blue, but under some conditions may be some other color (for example, at sunrise or sunset distant colors may shift towards red).
