PICTURE OF BOB [HOAX]

reply to post by greeneyedleo


Because we want to decide ourselves. You know, this is a conspiracy forum, and you fuel some bad thoughts about ATS.

Some said that the camera could never make only a few photos until the batteries are empty. I´ve got one, which bahaves the same way, 15 - 20 shots and I need new batteries.

The point with his leg: he´s running, look at some running pictures on the net, this is quite possible.

There are a few other arguments against the BOB picture, which are not worthy to mention

I do not say, that I believe it´s real, but I don´t see the hoax.

The exif data.. I wanna see it.
And I want a statemant from Andrew on it.

Till then, no proof against and no proof pro.

LOL
I cannot believe how much attention this thread got. This site is like a live comedy novel.
Hopefully people will have learn to be more skeptical and less gullible next time.

One can hope, right?

This analysis is the proof: Gray Bob

"Bob" shows no ambient color inherent in the scene, as well as no color noise typical of neutral-colors taken with an inexpensive digital camera in a low-light situation.

This has already been proven to be a hoax.

Just telling you know.

Obviously a hoax, the exif data has been removed, or is missing in vast parts as well.

Apparently that was done on purpose.

I'm positively surprised about the effort the ATS administration took to verify the issue at hand.

Me too.

I know they have a lot of things to do behind the scenes but I would absolutely welcome such an approach in the future for threads of this nature.

Kindly refrain from removing staff edits.

I'm entitled to my wrong opinion

Ahhh...

Forevever, you do realise some people have nothing better to do and actually enjoy the attention they receive from creating threads like this?

Can you explain what this means and how it shows the photo was a hoax? not very savvy in that area.

I also realize there is no such thing as proof in this forum
or anywhere for that matter - so its not a dig at ATS
its a dig at people.

Well...there goes "Bob"...that was the funniest thing I have seen on ATS in awhile!

I can't believe peoples feelings are actually hurt because it is a hoax...oh well...we all live and learn!

There will be more "Bob's"...and there will be more believers...until then...that one was pretty good!

Im Glad this is in the hoax bin were it belongs.
I bet alot of gullible people feel pretty stupid for believing in BOB now.
And I cant believe people are still trying to defend the OP and his lie.

This is a hoax.

The "humanoid" image does not share any of the natural greenish light of the surround scene, it's a gray human-form shape added in post-processing.

As you can see, even when increasing the saturation on the scene, the gray shape still exhibits no color attributes other than some minor color in the JPEG compression artifacts. And even when the image is rotated through the "color wheel" in 90-degree increments by altering the hue, the "humanoid" shows no color changes.

Hoax.

edit on 8-7-2011 by SkepticOverlord because: (no reason given)

I dont quite understand this explanation. Are you saying that since Bob is not green like the trees and grass in the picture and his skin doesnt reflect the green these trees have its a fake?

thats what im getting from your evaluation. If I am understanding that wrong Im sorry and would love a clearer explanation if possible

Good to see the truth finally come out.

It was a hoot though.

Thank the ATS gods.

I know some people really get a kick out of the troll army that has befallen our lovely cyber home...but not me. I just want to see each and every single one of them banned and sent back to the site they belong to.

Thanks for debunking this stupid hoax and tossing the offender out on his lying backside. Keeping the place clean!

Yes.

There is a green ambience in the entire scene that any object, regardless of color, will inherit to some degree. It's the way light and digital cameras work.
