There is no suspicion that the witnesses were faking it. <br />PWUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04157379509676845151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-71394406148236391352011-02-16T11:29:23.232-08:002011-02-16T11:29:23.232-08:00This photo is good support for the truth that no U...This photo is good support for the truth that no UFO still picture proves anything. There are just too many ways a clever photographer can fake them. Thwe same is true, incidentally, of digital video. A creative editor can create totally convincing UFO footage that is a complete hoax.<br /><br />Jeff Thompsonjeff thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618718576707253402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-64603461374487226622011-02-16T07:15:36.245-08:002011-02-16T07:15:36.245-08:00The US Naval Attache in a report dated March 11, 1...The US Naval Attache in a report dated March 11, 1958 decided the photos were a hoax or publicity stunt. That was the US official view and has been so for 53 years. Dr Olavo Fontes (a very pro-ETHer) during the early 1960s promoted them as photos of a genuine UFO that was watching the Brazilian naval activities off Trindade. So did APRO, several times.<br /><br />Countless people have debated the photos ever since, without any definitive answer. <br /><br />I agree with Kevin that no final definitive conclusion will ever be reached on these pics. <br /><br />The same arguments can be used to denounce them as are used to promote Roswell (deathbed confessions or such, 2nd and 3rd-hand tales told to Barauna's relatives, friends, etc.) without getting anywhere. There are no original Barauna diaries or notes, or at least none found so far.<br /><br />We have endured endless photographic analysis from both sides, again with no conclusive answer. The pics were the culmination of a series of UFO sightings (of rather poor quality in my view) that occurred on the island during the previous Nov. and Dec.<br /><br />I accept the US Navy's conclusion, but anyone is free to dispute it and people will agree and disagree forever on this. Was anything unusual seen from the ship that day? We simply don't know.cdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005702597775594084noreply@blogger.com
