There are plenty of UFO photo's available, however, there are always people like Geoffrey Forden standing by to debunk every single one of them. And usually, these people who are so quick to debunk weren't even there to witness the sighting, but they will be more than happy to tell you what you "really" saw. I guess the old adage holds true: a UFO will have to land on the White House lawn before they'd believe it. The rest of us will not be surprised. I do not know how much air traffic flies in and out of China's airspace, but I have a feeling they know what's supposed to be there. Mr. Forden couldn't make up his mind whether it was Photoshop or a ballistic missile launch! Yeah, THAT'S conclusive! He might as well admit he doesn't know, either, for all the good his "dismissive" explanation does!

I have noticed that with quite a few UFO videos and still photos, that the photographer many times does not even notice the UFO until either the video is slowed-down or the photo is enlarged. Many times the UFO is not even noticed at first because it is a barely-noticeable speck in the sky until the photo is enlarged or the speck is zoomed-in on. So I think maybe many UFO's are not photographed simply because they may be moving at such a high rate of speed, or so far away, that we simply can't, and don't, see them with the naked eye. And as for clarity, many cameras, cellphones, and camcorders have difficulty focusing on even a still object that is some distance away, and even more so if the object is moving away from, or towards you.

You can go take a picture of unidentifiable stuff whenever you want, practically. And, that's the thing. "Is that an alien craft, you think?" "Well, Sir, I don't know what that is a picture of." "Is it flying?" "Well, I suppose..." I understand that it is common to get cynical and skeptical as we grow older, but never forget that there is far more out there that you DON'T know, than what you DO know, and that's something that, thankfully, will never change. Our (Earth's collective) story is a mystery, after all.

But hey by reading the comments it seems the UFO faithful see absolutely no reason to put any credence to your theory that the recent boom in ready to use photographic equipment puts the possibility of extra planetary visitors even further from the realm of possibility. Theory shmeory! we're on to you! Your secret government propaganda assignment has failed. We'll never believe the government conspiracy that UFO's aren't real! I'm also pretty sure my neighbors recent "vacation" to Cabo was actually a secret retreat for all the "in the know" UFO hiding individuals to first get all their stories straight, then relax, speak freely and yuck it up about how special they are for keeping us all in the dark, while knowing space ships from any number of known or unknown superior technology civilizations are whizzing in and out of our atmosphere all the time, undetected by scads of independent observation entities, and universally uninterested in making any verifiable contact with the general public. There must be so many people keeping a lid on these UFOs that the hotel room prices are through the roof at the conspiracy retreats, and try to find a decent buffet - forget it!

There is a large body of photographic evidence, even after you eliminate all the photos whose history is undocumentable or suspicious. Do a little research next time. David I suggest you begin with the photos (and radar evidence) released by the Belgian government after the months long sitings over their country several years ago. Unlike the United States, the Belgian government was forthcoming with information and evidence. The provenance of these photos is undeniable. There is a great body of photographic evidence where the source is known and reliable. Now, what photos prove, is a more difficult question. The photographic evidence only tends to support the idea that there are phenomena zooming around out there that we don't know how to explain.
August 21 2010 at 2:48 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyDavid, there are plenty of photos out there, posted on sites that focus on the UFO phenomenom. But as your appropriate skepticism to the Chinese UFO photos suggests, in the age of Photoshop all such photos are suspect. The mainstream media avoids publishing UFO photos; you have to look at specialized publications and websites to find them.

August 20 2010 at 8:24 PM Report abuse Permalink +1 rate up rate down ReplyDavid, I have proof positive of the photographic kind that UFOs do indeed frequent our small blue marble. However, if I were to release them it would leave dozens of conspiracy theory publishers out of work and millions of nerds everywhere with no weekend activities!

Aliens are everywhere, but especially in Los Angeles, New York, and Connecticut. Haven't you seen Jerry Springer,TMZ, one of the so-called news magazines. How much more evidence do you need? By the way, I have it on good authority (STAR GATE) that space ships are no longer in use: everything's done with wormholes now.
