Exclamation Magical Ship or Fake?

I wonder...is this series of pics off tonight's C2C too good to be true? Sure, the weird symmetry is quite fetching...yet?

Yet, the technological world/CAD/CGE-world is full of such weird designs that might be photoshoppied in. Things that have nothing to do with flight.

Or is someone applying Tesla's stuff for fun 'n profit?

those are some cool ass pictures. you can even see letters on the damn thing. it looks like some kind of asian language or something.

obviously everyone here is going to say its fake. and actually i kinda think those pictures are fake. theyre all too good. but i believe crap like this is possible atleast.

Why would you need to fly/test such a ship in daylight...

At the same place twice?

Why have weird 'Alien Writing' on such a thing? As if any such weird ship would have travelled interstellar distances to be tested on Earth?

Why no blow ups of the writing? If they used a real camera so close to the target...no problemo blowing them up. It's too hard to do with his uploads!

Also...I can almost place that object as one I've seen that 'looks like' that 'Ship'? I'm half-sure that I've seen such a human artifact. So, I'm leaning towards high 80's as Fake!

Heck, I'm into the low 90's...

im wondering why he won't give out the location. he has no secret to protect. surely if this thing was hanging in the sky you would want every man + dog to know about it.

im no expert on photography, but that last picture shows some awesome focus on two objects seperated by a big distance (the bushes and the craft). also the shadows don't look entirely convincing.

also, this, in the image properties:

"Orientation of image: 1
File change date and time: 2007:05:06 17:20:38
Software used: Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0"

of course none of that proves the images are fake, but im gonna apply occams razor and move on with my life.

Cute little ship, but mine is bigger (and has more guns too!)


Moony, you should'a thrown this in PD... They'd have gone APESHIT over it.

Every image you experience while using a computer is "computer graphics". By definition.
