You are attempting to insult a well respected member of ATS with your juvenile snipes.
And i know he is a respected member (you don´t need to kiss his boots).
I´m not here to insult anyone...

I can't think of any good reason not to upload the RAW files because quite a few of us have done it ourselves and it's a 2 minute job.
Shutter speeds ranged between 10 seconds and even up to 5 minutes for photos not shown in this forum. I might be able to slightly agree with your superimposed theory if I was using a filter; however, I was not. Follow up pictures show no such reflections.

Here is my opinion on what happened that night. A supposedly "professional" photographer hears on the local weather forecast that there maybe some lightening that night . So he sets off with his camera and his tripod to hopefully capture a few shots of lightening forks . He takes the first couple of shots and then while viewing them on the LCD playback screen , notices a line of lens artefacts . He then realises that he has made a fundamental error . He forgot to remove the UV filter that was still attached to the lens. He then removes the UV filter , fires off a few more shots that now contain no reflections, goes home and crops the images in an attempt to hide his mistake and to hide the point of origin of the reflections . He then tries to pass the images off as UFO's and then states " I didn't use any filters , as you can see in the later shots ". After that he relies on gullible people to advertise his story. I bet this is not too far from the truth !!! edit on 20-7-2012 by tpg47 because: (no reason given)
