UK Man Has Photographed Something Strange...

reply to post by DrHammondStoat



Yeah sure the bricks are translucent, did you make that up to sound cool or are you seriously seeing that, because I think you should check your eyes.

Here is the image referenced above. Thank you, 3xil3, but obviously this is not the statue we seek.

Great Creeping Jesus! The footprints. How the hell did I miss that? Darrman, you nailed it. Can someone please, please do something to enhance that so it can be seen better? Then we can actually move this to the Hoax bin. How cool.

Hi, Everyone. I just found this at UFO casebook. Although this has the date of April Fool's Day all over it you will notice that it was submitted on March 19th.

This is why people aren't thinking its an april fools joke!

Published: 12:19 PM 4/1/2011 Submitted to the UFO Casebook on 04-01-11 Preston, UK - 03-19-11 On Saturday (19/03/11, 2 weeks ago) I was round at a friend's house who lives in Preston, UK................

Now this was also published after 12:00 oclock in the day so it is the publisher of the article that is a fool, thats the rules of April Fools joke, after 12 your the fool.

Loooking liiike a hoooax. Sorry to have given you #e, DK

Oh, this is totally real.

It would be less real if there were more pictures though.

Again... people want to jump on here and start spouting BS, hoax, this is retarded, blah blah blah.

You can certainly think that, but if you're not going to put effort into understanding the thread, don't waste your effort making a post.

If you sincerely want to assist people in determining it is a hoax, how about you make a real post? The first page of this thread was amazing... giving both sides, your opinions on what it is, and sticking to your guns with actual THOUGHT, scary idea!!!

Now, if the rude folks can stop spouting out of their asses and assess the thread in its fullest, you will understand that there is indeed a back story behind the image. The image and article wasn't submitted until April 1, but I hope you guys are aware of how many people don't realize it's April fool's day? If they did, it wouldn't be nearly as fun.

So the fact that it was posted on Apr 1 is something to consider, but it definitely doesn't immediately throw it out as a hoax. That's very ignorant.

Also if you actually read they said the guy was taking pictures for landscaping, from outside, when the sun was up. That explains the lens flares you are seeing that look like "streaks" from coming inside. This picture was taken outside, in a yard, and it was a perspective shot so the landscaper could formulate a plan for the entire yard. You know, like professionals do, when they FORMULATE and intelligently put together a gathering of materials so they get the entire picture. A concept posters here have not taken to. Do you want him to post his other 100's of what would come off as meaningless photos to the layman? I'm pretty damned sure it's important to understand every dimension of someone else's yard before you start major work on it...

He did not see the being when taking this picture, which is why there is only one picture. He happened to come across it through developing the photos after the fact, so unless he was taking 50 shots of the same area at once chances are the being had already up and left after that original picture.

And again you want to label it as hoax for its direction? How would you know how a being like that moves? What its motives are? Its pathing? You again can't immediately label it as hoax by defining what is absolutely unknown.

It was an interesting picture, put here for analysis. Not for judgement, not for fun. Someone caught something sincerely undefinable in its form and the best first step is trying to determine it is a hoax. Post some proof, some backing. If you see foot prints and are sure that will assist in labeling as hoax, make a picture and point out the deficiencies for all of us.

You can't just spout out from your mouth without any backing.

The thoughts of it being an April Fool's joke were addressed in the OP, but nothing to back it with. Many people are completely oblivious to the idea of April Fool's jokes. The idea of it being a statue is also very possible, addressed within not even 3 posts in the first page, but nobody has proof to back that with at the moment.

Gathering what I've read from the thread, it does not look like it was digitally added. There's too many 'imperfections' so to say in it to suggest it was placed digitally. It does have an upright form, and standard anatomy for what we would define has 'living'. It wasn't visible to the naked eye according to the sources, and in my opinion I'm not sure what to think of it. From everything I've seen so far, it's not screaming hoax.

So let's get some real analysis done, some thought and actual READING other contributions and get intelligent discussion going, not just ignorant bashing eh?

In order to analyze this case, we would need to question the witness, and see the other pics he took. After that we need to cross check the EXIF data with the claim. Other than that how else do you suggest analyzing this?

I'd say that definitely adds more fuel to the fire, but again, the dude is a landscaper. He had every right to be walking through that path to get to the area where there is work to do. I wouldn't let this development alone discredit the picture, but it's certainly something to keep in mind.

Maybe he had walked that very path to get over there, pull out some big weeds or dead plants and walked back to take the picture so he could get a cleaner view of the area?

There's those who have access to information to contact the original photographer, and there's a case filed for the image. There's other resources if we feel this to be a sincere case of providing additonal evidence.

The picture above is a great analysis of something to pick out, but again I added my own thoughts on why that isn't the smoking gun.

In addition to the effect on this thread, my post was a general rant. Believe what you want, but don't waste your time or other people's time and frustration posting with your foot in mouth. There's plenty of intelligent discussion to be had without every avenue being taken, this is a start. If we can't immediately label it as hoax and it becomes something more interesting than any effort put into the thread thus far would be worth it.

And if someone does have the smoking gun this can be thrown into the hoax bin, with the best intentions of the posters thus far.

i think that's just like a vine or something in a weird pattern, no way an alien would be as dumb as to walk around in broad daylight!

reply to post by shagula


Thank you, Shagula. You know, as a landscaper I am sure that the gentleman was walking all over the backyard which is as much evidenced by the apparent footprints as the idea that he walked straight to the 'thing'. So one could say that, of course there are footprints because the guy was walking all over the backyard. True enough. I guess the footprints don't break it then. No hoax bin yet. Go get em', Shagula. I am dying to know what is in the photo and behind the story. Good stuff.
Pax.

Let us not guess at the ways of E.T. Garden Gnome. For his ways are subtle and difficult to master.
In other words let's not Anthropomorphize the little fellow. Just because he has two arms and two legs and a head and a torso does not mean he is like us. It is just an efficient shape for a hydrogen pump to get food and interact with its environment.

No problems...

reply to post by shagula


There isn't anything intelligent to be said that revolves around claiming we have a picture of an alien; it's quite clear it isn't an alien.

Seriously some people, I could give you a bloody Mars Bar for you to turn around and say "it's not a Mars Bar! it's an alien!"

Get a grip, please.

I'm an amputee thank you very much.

Intelligent discussion a must.

Your barging in the room crying didn't help much.

I am going to have to rescind my retraction of the #e previously given. I have to agree that the footprints aren't really a deal breaker. And you have to admit, DK, the 'thing' is at least certainly alien-shaped. So, what is it? ( I know, maddening.).

Okay, I think I understand where you are going with this so hopefully if I'm correct I'll try a different approach before I give up entirely. You use the term "alien-shaped", how exactly do you know what an alien is shaped like if you, me or anyone else on this planet hasn't actually seen one and has proof as to how they are shaped anatomically?

Maybe your looking at a Mars Bar?

reply to post by Death_Kron


You. Are. Killing .Me. So funny. Sorry there is no emoticon for, "Bwahahahaha" It is at least shaped very similarly to the popular conception of an 'alien' a 'grey' or 'carbon probe' or whatever folks happen to be calling them. Yes, I know you can agree with me on that. Spindly body, big egg-shaped head; you know. So that is what I am saying. It is there. To the best of our present analysis it is physical. So there is something there shaped like the popular modern conception of an alien. Is it living or fabrication. I will still take the Mars bar. I like them. More hydrogen.

reply to post by Frater210


Okay, I give up.

There's a popular saying; "common sense isn't common"

It applies...

reply to post by Death_Kron


Aw c'mon. Haven't you ever seen anything that you cannot explain? I bet you have.

I will just throw this out there. It has been suggested that what we presently think of as aliens, or greys, may have been what previous generations and ages may have referred to as 'The Wee Folk' or to what in the British Isles are known as The Faerie.
Could this be a photo of one and the same. I mean, it is in Preston, UK after all.
So is it a real alien or faerie or just a statue of one.
