Initial data

Initial information from sources or from an eyewitness

Incident date:

05.2004

Location:

Ниагарский водопад

United States

The photo shows a distant monument of recognizable shape, giving us a great object to zoom in on with the same ratio as a UFO. This allows for a unique comparison of the clarity of this high-resolution digital image to determine how much distortion the UFO has in the image.

It seems that the spire-shaped monument in the distance is much further away than the UFO from the photographer, otherwise the UFO is gigantic, which is unlikely.

Summary:   In the photo a distant monument of recognizable shape is visible giving us an excellent item to zoom in on with the same factor as we do the UFO. This allows for a unique comparison of clarity in this high resolution digital image to determine how much distortion is taking place with the UFO in the image. It would appear that the spire-like monument in the distance is considerably farther away than the UFO is from the photographer, else the UFO is gargantuan, which is unlikely.

Birds

Due to the peculiarities of the bird's flight, it is possible to capture a moment in the photo when an ordinary bird will resemble a "classic" UFO in shape.
