Those Damned Blurry UFO Pictures

You’ve heard it, thought it, wondered about it:
why are UFO videos, photos --and even vetted witness reports-- so full of BLUR?

A massive amount of UFO/craft objects captured on film, video, and digital imagery have one thing in common, and that’s blurry outlines. As in no sharp edges, no detail. I even heard this most common characteristic of UFOs discussed in depth at a MUFON training I attended.

Debunkers and assorted fools on the internet have a field day with this single aspect of ufology. But the truth is, blurry is probable --and clear is improbable-- if we are talking real ET craft.

NASA Scientist Paul Hill finds no problem with blurry UFOs and his book Unconventional Flying Objects explains why. [Read Unconventional Flying Objects, A Scientific Analysis, Hampton Roads Publ. Co., Charlottesville, VA, 1995 (ISBN 1-57174-027-9) ]

But before we go to the expert, I’d like to take a walk down what I call Common Sense Highway, my kind of Highway 61 Revisited. Walk with me a moment…There are plenty of famous well-documented UFO pictures that are clear and plenty that are blurry. Most of the clear pictures of UFO craft are hovering or moving very slowly. In many reports of UFO craft, parts of the craft can clearly be seen to rotate, yet that rotation itself, should not cause the whole image to be blurry.

So here’s an important question. If UFO are Extraterrestrial craft, then what would the Extraterrestrials [Off-Planet Pilots] be using as the primary mode of transportation here?
1. Propellers
2. Jet Engines
3. Rocket Engines.

In the case of ET craft using any of the travel modes from the short list above, shouldn’t images captured of craft using one of these methods have clear edges? And then we have to ask, in our hearts, do we believe this?

Even Before The Nazi Empire

I have, on occasion videoed and photographed jets, balloons, and birds, and have always been able to get clear edges. I have videoed a passenger jet, and, near the engine, of course it showed wavy images, from the jet engine’s heat exhaust; but the wavy effect never distorted the video image of the whole plane.

We treat blurry images as a strong indication of hoaxing, right? I have to admit my WARNING! flag goes up when I see blurry UFO images.

But I am wrong. Dead wrong.

The very strong possibility that these craft are powered by a propulsion system that affects the area around them is a given.

This is not the nineteenth century, although debunkers try to keep us there. I’m 65, and I know Atomic Drives are not going to hack it for travel between worlds. You get that, too, right?

I don’t even want to bring up what I can imagine about the main body of a long-distance traveling ship --say in a thousand years from now. But what the hell, I will: intelligent bio-skins.

In Star Trek we see good movie theatrics showing rockets of plasma discharge from the rear of the craft. But in real life, rockets and those types of devices would have been abandoned long ago in the Star Trek timeline.

And we also see in Star Trek human travelers being affected by inertia at warp ten. Based on what we know now, they’d be butter.

Remember, what we’re seeing in UFO photos is not Star Trek and shuttle craft. Whatever else is true about the travelers in the UFOs we’re seeing, we do know what they are using is beyond Star Trek. Moving sideways at speeds like a thousand-plus miles an hour suggests something far more sophisticated at work here.

There are times when UFO craft have even been witnessed floating like a falling leaf. This could signify, along with other circumstantial evidence, that these craft change their very mass.

So what could be causing this blurriness? Dr. Hill formulates an interesting theory, and I will quote from this great book:

“The quantum mechanical explanation for the indistinct or invisible out line at night is particularly straightforward…”
[After the thoroughly excited molecules and electrons explanation, he continues, as excerpted below…]

“At night when the witness must see the UFO by its own light, it follows if the plasma is fully developed (saturated with ions) the plasma can completely obscure the UFOs, for the critical distance is small. In the more general case where the UFO is operating at a lower radiation the witness can see the UFO surface directly…
The absorption characteristics of the plasma can also account for a daytime hazy or smoky appearance of the Atmosphere around the UFO.”

Blurriness and fuzzy outlines of UFOs are what we would expect in a craft from another world. UFOs use propulsion and engine mechanics completely different than we have. And those propulsion and drive methods do, at times, affect their surroundings. UFO technologies have apparently been developed to cancel inertia and gravity, including mass.

Unless they are conjuring it all up as 100% illusion --an interpretation too many thousands of reliable reports and images contradict-- UFO craft need power, and that power affects external things as part of its normal operations.

Paul Hill is a futurist in all aspects of this work, as was Arthur C. Clark. But we must understand that these Extraterrestrial travelers and their vehicles are far beyond what our best science --and maybe even our best science fiction minds-- now understand.

But what Hill has done is tell us we should be looking very close at these blurry photos and videos because in the end, they may be a signal we are looking at an authentic UFO.
