Vancouver Island Unseen Disc Photograph

“A scenic photograph unexpectedly contained a sharp disc-like image that no one noticed visually at exposure time.”

“Haines conducted site reconstruction, negative/microdensitometry work, enhancement and Frisbee/suspension comparison tests while considering the family credible.”

“Hall retains the 1964 principle that a still photograph is only approximately as reliable as the person who took it and the documented circumstances surrounding it.”

“Hall evaluates six factors: witness character, strangeness, camera technical data, direct testimony/circumstances, completeness of analysis and peer review.”

“Hall discusses an anomalous October 1978 DMSP weather-satellite image obtained through an Elmendorf AFB weather center. Bruce Maccabee reportedly ruled out several image artifacts but could not fully exclude a satellite or space-debris object.”

“Hall stresses that a technically authentic image does not by itself establish the identity or extraordinary origin of the photographed object.”
