Lost me at the clicks -- not sure what that's referring to?UFO Witness: "Look, there's a UFO up there!"
Skeptic: "Nah, those don't exist!"
UFO Witness: "No! Look! It's a saucer! And it's coming closer"
Skeptic: "No way! That's a bird wanting to be fed, or a deflating balloon, of course!"
UFO Witness: "My god, it's right above you, zig-zagging back and forth, man!"
Skeptic: "Nope! It's a big hat, or it might be a hubcap someone has thrown at us, and that's parallax."
UFO Witness: "Good Lord! It's right on your head!!"
Skeptic: "No it's not! It's just an illusion; the hat is on a distant hill."
UFO Witness: "No! It's on your head! Right on your head!!"
Skeptic: "Click.. Click.Click…. Cliiiick…"

That's not how parallax works. Nor how perspective works.Skeptic: "Nope! It's a big hat, or it might be a hubcap someone has thrown at us, and that's parallax."
UFO Witness: "Good Lord! It's right on your head!!"
Skeptic: "No it's not! It's just an illusion; the hat is on a distant hill."
Dang, that's a hot summer.I know, the pyramid is on fire.
Oh I see! Thank you.That's not how parallax works. Nor how perspective works.
(cue the Father Ted clip. It does NOT say "small and far away".)
But you can count on the UFO witness in your story to fail to take a clear photo.![]()
