A Croatia witness at Korcula reported finding an unexplained object in a photo when reviewing images, according to testimony in Case 85884 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness stopped her vehicle to take a photo at 8:21 a.m. on August 8, 2017.

“It has live photo and makes two pictures in one second,” the witness stated. “In my iPhone, I’m able to click to each photo and then a have a few frames to see before the final photo is shown (like a mini video, a cool feature). And that was it.”
A few days later, the witness was searching for the best images to post on Facebook.

“I notice something strange. I have two pictures. One is normal and on the other it pops up some flying object from nowhere. I was confused because I didn’t remember that I saw something like that when I took the shot. I was concentrating to make a nice photo. There was a lot of sun and I wanted to make it quick because I was at the road with my car. The photos were taken just outside the town of Korcula, with a nice view to the Monastry of St. Nikola. Both photos are taken in a fraction of a second and has this ‘video effect’ so it is very clear that a UFO on second photo appears out of nowhere.”

CAG Investigator Robert Spearing for MUFON International closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.

Faked CG image. Look at the lighting- the sun is way right, casting shadows. The glint on the object is incorrectly placed.

I think the "glint" on the object you are referring to is actually a light on the object. This is the bright light facing the camera lens.

The buildings on the island also have some kind of lining around them too,I guess there fake too?

"Doctormoebius" is a faked CG name.

Right, that is the FIRST thing I noticed, was the lighting on the left side of the UFO. I just can't stand it when people post "FAKE" pictures. Why can't MUFON, weed those pictures OUT..

Right on! That’s the first thing that occurred to me. That and the area around the supposed object looks rough.

Your insight maybe off,the glare is possible,sunlight reflection is probably in the lens

So badly done, cut and paste, you can clearly see the pixels ad

Fake my Ass!
Enlarge the photo, and see the field of some type surrounding the craft!

Trevor

6/30/2018 09:56:18 pm

Yeah that’s not a field, it’s an obvious square which proves this was a cropped photo, and the backgrounds just don’t match up.

Thank you! lol

Wow...so fake. The "field" seen around the craft when enlarged is from photo editing. The image is pasted in...How can you guys miss this???

Trevor

6/30/2018 09:57:01 pm

Agreed, I looked at for one minute and can see the obvious square blurr

Totally fake! You can see the squared portion of the picture photoshopped onto the page.

Those of us who witnessed UFO in our lifetimes don't appreciate fake photos and dumb remarks made by others who don't believe. I know what I saw no photos though.

John Deighton

Wow its very disappointing that no image analysis was undertaken by Mufon, it clear shows this was added after some slight image diagnosis, its easy to see it is a cropped image pasted in!

Sandra

So funny that UFOs are in the news bc they have been getting in the way of USA aircrafts. Our military videotaped one too. It doesnt have to be green men. It could be China. You are very ignorant.

Mr brodsky, while that may or may not be true, the tech it would take for us to be visited is far beyond anything we understand

Can't use the glimmering around the photo of the craft to establish it is a fake photo. If so, then the Trees and Monestary on the right in the photo are also fake, as they have the same glimmering around their edges....

John Deighton

7/13/2018 07:25:38 pm

Nothing to do with glimmering, there is an obvious square geometric block around the image so it has been copied, cropped and placed. Its very clear to see once zoomed in and the contrast turned down and the rest of image doesnt change so its not pixilated. Im a follower and believe in this subject and have my own facebook page on ufos, but i dont just take any photo as proof and im not into ridiculous conspiracies either, but its a shame people need to fake these things, but then again thats the way the world seems to be going with fake news been on top of it! i am just flabbergasted that MUFON have posted this image, and why the silence?

Dee Ess

The trees have the same square around them. Mind you, I believe it’s fake. I don’t believe in extraterrestrials having visited the planet - I think what craft people see are made by us. However, why are the trees framed in the square as well? Just something to do with enlargement and copying of the original photo? Thanks in advance for any reply.

This doesn't have to be fake at all. It looks to me like a plane coming in for a landing. Question is... is there an airfield nearby? Just digging up some information might solve this one.

Dan

7/14/2018 05:44:32 am

I take that back, the same pixelation is around the edge of the buildings as well.

I would delete my original comment, but it won’t let me.

If you zoom in all the way. Almost looks like a haze around the craft. Leaves me skeptical but very interested. Thanks for sharing

Enter earth objects near the core base

its a bird look at it. black bird

Different pixelation around the object within a sharply defined rectangular frame indicates that it was brought into the picture using the most amateurish methods.
This pixelation can be seen by a naked eye. It’s surprising that an “expert” did not notice that the picture is a fake.

First i zoomed on the ufo i was like yeah fake there is a clear square around the object but then i zoomed on the island or what it is a the same geometrical squares are literaly around every single object there. Just zoom at the boat, the first tree and the church tower, there is a square around all of them. So dont judge to quickly. Sorry for my bad english.

Damien McLeod

I liked it, looked pretty real to me, I guess I'd have to say-not fake. However some of those yelling Fake sounded pretty fake, or wacko, or nutso or whatever, come on guys, you don't have any more idea of what it is than I do. Lighten up.

IS A FAKE...TAKE A LOOK IN TO LIGTH OF THE OBJET NO MATCH WITH THE SUN....NO SHADOW IN THE WATER

Reduce your browser to half size, grab the photo and drag it to the desktop. Then, it becomes a jpeg that you can enlarge.

You can see for yourself that the pixelation around the UFO is present throughout the picture, especially over the monastery and so forth. It does not appear to be cropped.

As a UFO witness, I believe the photograph is real. UFOs have been seen, heard and recorded repeatedly over the past 70-years. They are obviously extraterrestrial machines with advanced technology.

It's not even a good fake. Just zoom in to see its a paste in. Mufon discredits itself by posting this stuff on their website..

BILLY HALLMON

8/12/2018 05:12:04 pm

"Stephen" is a web troll who is afraid to post his full name.
I zoomed in and saw nothing pasted in and nothing to discredit Mufon.

Stephen

8/15/2018 03:51:13 pm

There is a square of pixelation around the object. It is an obvious fake. Try to discuss the matter rather than insult someone who has a different opinion to you.

James

8/15/2018 01:22:00 pm

I do not believe this is CGI but just misidentification. I think it's just a water bird (they tend to have oily wings ergo the glint) gliding across the frame a lot closer to the photographer than this photo would depict. The UFO photos I believe to be true are smooth and symmetrical. This looks lumpy and the two protrusions at the bottom are probably folded legs. Case closed in my mind.

Mickey Sentif

8/18/2018 03:24:15 pm

I zoomed in 400% - they're right it IS photoshopped!

Hector Gonzalez

8/19/2018 04:23:31 pm

Although there are some differentiation of pixel size around the buildings and their background, the biggest difference of pixel size can be seeing around the flying object and it's background. That makes me doubt it's authenticity.

James

8/21/2018 10:34:43 am

It's not photoshopped in my professional opinion. The pixel aberrations around the object match aberrations around other artifacts within the photograph. Algorithmic analysis shows no inconsistencies within the photograph. However, I maintain that this is not an alien or man-made spacecraft but a misidentified bird much closer in the field of view than it seems (forced perspective). For the record, I am a believer as I've had two first encounters that are still unexplained.

Héctor S Gonzalez

8/22/2018 07:38:22 pm

Thanks for your reply. Very informative.

9/21/2018 01:08:00 pm

I believe. Really I do. But why can't someone who actually takes a picture of a UFO know how to actually take a picture? No wonder no one believes us. We're the crappiest photographers ever to exist!
