This is Why You Can't Photograph a UFO Properly

Go to the 45 minute mark and Bob explains it well.
Gravity basically distorts light so all you end up seeing is a blurry image.

Wouldn’t that also affect how they’re seen with the naked eye?

So why haven’t observers of this phenomenon mentioned anything to that effect?

Maybe I’m wrong, wondering if anyone can weigh in on that subject.

Seen all mine perfectly clear with my naked eyes... lol

The only time I was in a place and position to photograph and take a video of them, they came out all crappy and useless.

That time I was at an intersection in Bartlesville, Oklahoma... other people got out and took pictures and video too.

A few of us reported it on some website... don't remember right now which one it was.

Video looked nothing like what we all saw... just blurry crap.

So maybe he has a point.

Nope
One cannot generate a gravity field strong enough to bend light in that fashion .
Think black hole , or just the sun
Impossible , isn't it ?

Nothing's impossible.

Perhaps is in another phenomena, causing a difference in the clarity, between the cameras and the naked eye?
Not only film-based cameras, but digital as well.

Anyone photographers here know of any such thing?

a month back or maybe 2 the moon was really close to the earth,looked like you could reach out and grab it.was dawn at 530 or maybe 6.Took my cell phone and took a picture and when i checked it there was the pic alright but the moon wasnt.

It was barely visible although with the naked eye it looked clear and huge.

So im guessing,gravitational fields and all that aside,you need a really good and expensive camera to photograph what is out there which can focus at a distance etc

And also infrared film,as per us army documents.


Then again we could contact a professional photographer and ask his opinion.Also there are good ufo photos out there and there are official ufo photos out there that show blobs of light(colares incident),food for thought.

Maybe it’s just because you’re trying to focus a camera on something way off in the distance with no other objects in the fore-or- background to help you.

Ever tried to photographs a bird in flight at 500 yards?

There are some things that are impossible.
I stated one of them

Actually you didn't.

You stated your opinion on a theory.

Try to keep up with the topic.

I sometimes stargaze on a near hill there is a huge stone that will retain the heat.

On one occasion I took my phone with me and I saw something strange flying through the picture of the great wagon, parallel to the handle.

I pulled out my phone and just wrote that to a member here and then I tried to take a picture of the stars.

Even with long exposure time I could not even get the distant air traffic warning lights from the wind turbines to show up. It is useless to pull out a phone and snap a quick picture of any lightspot that is far away at night.

I lended a night vision scope and that makes things better but if I fiddle with gadgets, I miss all the gazing.

Try and learn basic 5th grade physics
The path that light takes cannot be affected by electromagnetism .
With the Sun and it's mass , not even that gravitational field can dissipate or alter light . It merely "bends" light around itself.

i saw a ufo over weehawken one sunday morning. it was changing shape, one of the craziest things i ever saw. i could not figure out what i was looking at, i was bewildered. i went to grab a camera from my car, and it flew into some clouds.

it looked like CLU, from the first tron film. exactly like that. it was triangular at first, like a kite, but massive, maybe 40 feet across. then it started to shape change, squares, boxy, again, just like CLU.

once i saw this interview, i realized, oh maybe that was the explanation.

i know no one has anyone to believe that i saw this, but i did. it was incredible, and im psyched i saw it.

broad daylight no less.

You saw something so rare and amazing yet you forget the details of a website, or is it because you have seen so many you have become quite blase? I envy your experience.

Exactly, the way light enters our eyes is the same it enters a camera lens.

Most bad photos/videos/films of UFOs are a result of inadequate equipment and bad operators.

One common problem with videos is that most cameras are used on autofocus, so when the operator tries to focus a small point of light (or a small object with no definite edges because of the distance) with autofocus on the camera will keep on trying to focus and it will keep on failing, resulting in "shape shifting UFOs".

For example, I have seen at least one video in which the UFO looked something like this (this image is not from that video but from a video I made):



That's just an out of focus light that appears like that because of the way that specific camera lens is made internally.
Different cameras with different lenses will give different results, but it's even possible to know the make of a camera when we see the same out of focus look on different videos. Some cameras show out of focus points of light as diamond shaped, for example.

In relation to the gravity waves, I don't recall Lazar saying it distorted the appearance of an object as much as the movement. My takeaway from the Rogan interview was that in the highly erratic movements pilots observed, Lazar said that the object's gravity field actually distorted time, so the object may not have been rapidly zigging and zagging, but just appeared that way to the pilots.

Not distorted time as in time travel, but just in what was observable. But he also claimed the gravity field bent light, which could affect the appearance

You're free to believe whatever you want.

What's closer to highly improbable: is that you know, with certainty, all of the potential technology that could possibly ever be invented, in a million different directions, by potentially millions of different civilizations, whom could potentially be millions of years ahead of us in technology, along with multitudes of unknown possibilities.

Be it planetary aliens, inter-dimensional beings, our future selves, or a myriad of other possibilities.

We are looking at what kind of phenomena may be causing these differences.
We need open minds, not closed ones.
Thanks.

Go to the 45 minute mark and Bob explains it well. Gravity basically distorts light so all you end up seeing is a blurry image.

requires one to think all Ufos or craft of advanced intelligence are the same and use the same technology which would then make seeing them with the naked eye also distorted yet many claim clear views of craft.

He also said during a test that communications was done via radio which he said the same gravity situation should apply and therefore not work. It this is real then some technology or principles are not working 100% as we believe.

Do you still have the video?

Even if blurry, at least it's a visual representation of what you saw, rather than a hoax.

Some of us here may read something more into the images. Worth a shot?

The naked eye vs camera, here's a good read:

The human eye also has a lot more pixels than your camera, about 130 million pixels (you 24-megapixel camera owners feeling humble now?). However, only about 6 million of the eye’s pixels are cones (which see color), the remaining 124 million just see black and white. But advantage retina again. Big time.

The macula contains about 150,000 ‘pixels’ in each 1mm square (compare that to 24,000,000 pixels spread over a 35mm x 24mm sensor in a 5DMkII or D3x) and provides our ‘central vision’ (the 55 degree cone of visual attention mentioned above). Anyway, the central part of our visual field has far more resolving ability than even the best camera.
