If you are willing to stick around a little...I never said it was E.T.. Look at the tag line. Sorry to split hairs but this is how I set up my threads
when a little bored or distracting myself from homework.. On one level I am interested in drawing out the knee-jerk reactions. Like the one that you
have been exhibiting. Maybe experience and common sense tell you this is a fake. nevertheless there is a physical thing in the picture that has not
been proven to be either statue or anything else. So the picture stands. That's it. That picture of whatever it is, is right there. It may end up
being a hoax. I realize that we have no EXIF data on the photo. There are a lot of photos of this type and, yes, most turn out to be hoaxes. This one
probably will as well. But right now I think your opinion is banking on the idea that someone else will do the analysis work and your theory will be
proven out (it probably will) but I would not count on it. This photo may prove to be inconclusive (which it will be with no EXIF data) but right now
it is unsolved.
I am going to try to see the footprints. I will also try and contact the photographer and I will muck-rake a little to see what I come up with. But I
don't know how successful I will be. Usually people are pretty helpful.
In the end I am really doing this to develop my own critical thinking skills and ability to work these types of things out so that I am not fooled or
tricked. It is a personal exercise to find out what I think or what I think I think. I suppose lots of folks are doing that here at ATS on some level.
I just maybe go about getting education and entertainment a little differently from you. I am certainly not precious one way or the other as to
whether or not the photo is a fake.
Pax.
