Spotting a UFO is not the kind of sight-seeing you expect to find when you go on holiday.
But that is exactly what one man chanced upon without even realising it when he thought he was taking a picturesque photograph of the sea.
The witness had been taking a stroll in Black Head at Trenarren near St Austell, Cornwall at around 5pm on August 1, when he pulled out his camera to capture a snap of the sea.



In a strange twist, it was not until he later downloaded the photograph from his digital camera onto his computer that he noticed the mysterious 'flying object' hovering above.
The photograph of the circular object has now been unveiled at the Cornwall UFO Research Group (CUFORG), which was founded by Dave Gillham in 1995.
He said: 'The person who took the photo never saw anything in the area while taking the photo.
'It was only when he got home and downloaded it onto his computer that he saw an object - a disc shaped craft, hovering just above the sea.
'There appear to be two trails of water beneath the object which looks as though they are falling from it in to the sea.
'It could be that the object has just emerged from the sea.'

Mr Gillham could not shed any further light on the origins of the object, which has left many scratching their heads for an explanation.
A spokesman for the Royal Navy air base at nearby Culdrose confirmed that no military aircraft were in the area at the time.
He said: 'Culdrose did not have any aircraft airborne after 5pm on Monday August 1 so any helicopter in the St Austell area was not one of ours.
'As the airfield was closed until approximately 19.00 when the SAR was scrambled to an incident at Newquay the radar was not manned between 17.00 and 19.00.
'It is always possible of course that a civilian helicopter could have been in the vicinity of St Austell around 17.14.'

A typical human eye will respond to wavelengths from about 390 to 750 nm.

In terms of frequency, this corresponds to a band in the vicinity of 400–790 THz.

A light-adapted eye generally has its maximum sensitivity at around 555 nm (540 THz), in the green region of the optical spectrum (see: luminosity function).

The spectrum does not, however, contain all the colors that the human eyes and brain can distinguish.

Unsaturated colors such as pink, or purple variations such as magenta, are absent, for example, because they can only be made by a mix of multiple wavelengths.

Visible wavelengths also pass through the "optical window", the region of the electromagnetic spectrum that passes largely unattenuated through the Earth's atmosphere.

Clean air scatters blue light more than wavelengths toward the red, which is why the mid-day sky appears blue.

The "visible window" is so called because it overlaps the human visible response spectrum.

The near infrared (NIR) windows lie just out of the human response window, and the Medium Wavelength IR (MWIR) and Long Wavelength or Far Infrared (LWIR or FIR) are far beyond the human response region.

Maybe some ufo's (and possibly ghosts) move around in a wavelenght we can't detect but (digi)cams can.

looks like a blurry photo of a gull to me

The easiest explanations for the so called BLURFOs (UFOs that get noticed only after you develop a film or download the pic to the pc) are almost always that
1) The camera does not work like the human eye, so what you see as some massive, sharp, sometimes even metallic in appearance in the photo, looked like something unnoticeable to the naked eye
2) The objects that are natural part of the environment get often totally unnoticed by the human eye: or better, the eye catches them but the brain dismissed them as nothing worthy to be reported to the brain, to put it in poor words.

Birds, bugs and insects play a lead role in this branch of alleged UFO sightings, and there's a huge amounts of this type of reports: they don't fall to the "hoax" basket, almost always those who report these ones are genuinely believing they are on to something, which is perfectly understandable.

In this case, iwould say that what we see is consistent with a seagull, or something not very different: i don'tknow what breed of birds you can find there, but that's my take on it: of course, i could be wrong.

Thanks for sharing, Kelly

I absolutely love your little diagrams you do
Thanks GG

yes it's an alien spaceship from outer space

[smackem]

I mean. Yea.

When I first saw it.. I thought stretched out picture of a plane...
