It's absolutely ridiculous, but hardly surprising. Speculating about alien visitations is obviously always more interesting than telling viewers what they're actually looking at. The situation here in Sweden is slightly different, for one simple...

Two photos taken from this primer on the effects of perspective distortion and portrait photography. https://learn.zoner.com/why-should-i-zoom-in-for-portraits/ Shortest possible lesson. Entirely visual. Why you don't get up close to your...

But specifically how is it more trustworthy than these: Source: https://twitter.com/glennbeck/status/2076753908253528511#m [EDIT: rewite to equivalent twitter URL in order to persuade embedding to work]

Maybe overkill but I've got to go on a bit. Why and how perspective distortion has fooled people into misperceiving the direction of McConnell's gaze. They perceive it as lower than it actually is. The close distance between the camera and...

If they'd gotten a pro photographer, or even an advanced amateur, to take these photos, things would have turned out better for their narrative. But most people are so unaware of what goes into a successful photo, let alone a successful portrait...

If you zoom waaaaay in on the satellite photo, you can see 7 or 8 White Claw: Black Cherry cans around the hot tub. In all seriousness, it cheeses me off a bit that a "news" organization would run something like this, without even a cursory...

Youtube recommended that original viral video so I wanted to see what that object was as well. Thanks to the group's sleuthing and a few minutes of search I think I'm pretty sure it's this: Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38kuBAsWY-c...

Some did ask around to the authorities, In this one https://whdh.com/news/watch-unidentified-floating-object-caught-on-camera-in-pembroke/ it says ... We asked the fire department and they said they don't have any report of something like...

It's likely a helicopter, someone on Reddit has already done all the work so I'll share their comment This looks like a helicopter, probably something like an EC-135 or similar based on the tail, traveling away from the camera... not an object...

All it is that the distortion in the paper angles it to the light from the window to the left which means it's blown out like some areas of his shirt. Nothing about this photo looks obviously wrong to me as a photographer.

Circumstantial evidence is still evidence, e.g. a footprint or a plausible motive, which must then be linked by a logical step (rather than other evidence) to the case being presented. The balance of probabilities is what carries the weight...

The formal portrait is taken correctly. The plane of the sensor is perpendicular to the floor - the camera is level. The camera is fitted with a long focal length lens (about 105mm if it were a 35mm camera.), and the camera is at a good distance...
