Re the triangle Photoshop.
Just out of the bag the 3 corner 'lights' on the triangle are identical just resized,
I am certainly not wanting to be the guy who defends that picture as real, but for the sake of discussion:
I might make the same claim about the three streetlights. Except that I believe streetlights exist, so I'm not suspicious about them. But with the "UFO," the same sort of light in three places are going to look pretty similar, yeah? Are they "identical? I don't think so, at least when I blow them up to the same size, the one from the right looks to have a bit less bright are along the lower edge. That COULD be an artifact of shrinking them down and then blowing two of them partway up again...
also they would need to be bright to be seen but they exhibit non of the glare/bloom aberrations of the other bright lights in the scene.
Other things are seen in the picture that are not glaringly bright lights -- for example, the lighted window just below the nearest streetlight. Some things are seen that are not lights at all. I'm not sure I can agree that only bright glaring lights could be seen in this pic.
Also when brightened they exhibit a different noise pattern in a rectangle around them.
I see what you are refering to there, but when I brighten up the image I see that same effect elsewhere -- for example:
A similar thing is happening around the internal reflection of the streetlight. And:
Looks to me like it is also happening around two of the distant streetlights or porch lights back there -- more obviously on one than the other -- and even along the roof lines of the houses back there as well. (Finding "anomalies" like that around the UFO are less probative if they are also found elsewhere in the picture, unless we want to claim the source also photoshopped in some street lighting and a camera flare, and possibly some roofs, as well.)
I'm sure aliens can make their craft look exactly like it was poorly comped on though.
Quite possibly, but I'm not sure that would be necessary to explain this image!
It might well be photoshopped -- I'd kinda lean towards thinking that it is -- or it might be some actual lights reflecting in a pain of glass between us and the sky out there (with the note that it
looks like the window is open so it would require ANOTHER sheet of glass in there, which starts to get hoaxy again but by a different technique) or it might conceivably be actual lights seen out the window. While it may be shopped, I don't think it is fair yet to say that this is definitely the case.
