UFO in the news!!!!
Has anyone seen the news article on The Sun's website http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article793327.ece about the UFO that's been spotted in Portsmouth? This is the photo... 
First thing I thought when I saw the picture was... This is almost as bad as that Hillary Clinton magazine cover! But apparently "Hilary Porter, from the British Earth and Aerial Mysteries Society (BEAMS), said the sighting could be credible. She said: “It would be very difficult to fake that photo and the UFO is at a tilt, which is the way they normally fly." 
I did a quick search on google and found this image...

Chris, Are you trying to tell us that you don't believe what they print in The Sun - one of our most reliable and accurate news(!)papers? Gordon |

I suspect Hilary Porter isn't much of a Photoshop fan... |

That's very funny. Isn't photoshop a verb now, as well as a noun?  |

Never mind Photoshop, I don't think she has a clue, period. The picture is taken at night, so the exposure time would have been quite lengthy, any movement, UFO or otherwise would either be heavily blurred or possibly not even show up, depending on how fast it was moving. Besides that, the object is far too sharp to begin with to have been shot through that mist. _________________ A happy-go-lucky chap, always dressed in black |

I love the way the "expert" says that it's at a tilt, "which is the way UFOs normally fly". Really? Is that how they normally fly? Well, that clinches it for me, then. |

I agree, Steve. And, let's face it, she should know.  |
