Saucer-Shaped Craft Photographed From Airplane Window

By TCC Team member Dorraine Fisher

Analysis by Thomas Marcum

             A friend of a man named Larry Siu, a passenger on a plane headed from Hong Kong to Kunming City in southwest China apparently snapped this picture from the airplane window of what appears to be a saucer-shaped UFO.

            Siu said, “Many passengers saw it and took pictures.”

            The picture was said to have been taken last week, and was subsequently passed on to Rex Pictures. 

Analysis: 

Upon first looking at the photo, it look pretty good. The background story seem feasible as well but lets look at the photo itself.  

Here is a zoom of the object

After running the photo on some software I have, it seems this is a HOAX.

The software came back with this determination.

"NOTE: Photoshop IRB detected

  Based on the analysis of compression characteristics and EXIF metadata:
  ASSESSMENT: Class 1 - Image is processed/edited"

This is only part of the analysis of the photo data. This could very well be one of the cell phone apps where you can place an "ufo" in any photo. There is also a bigfoot app that does the same thing.

CONCLUSION:  HOAX/FAKE!

 Thanks
