I found this pretty interesting and thought you might too. It’s an old stereo showing what the uploader suspects is a UFO.
I found it interesting but I’m skeptical. Notice the clouds? See how they’re really wavy and unnatural? It’s as if the clouds moved by during exposure. I find it more likely that a bird flew past while the photo was being taken, and because the exposure likely took a second or two, it appeared as this elongated ‘UFO’.
Most of us can get a similar effect by setting a slower exposure time on our cameras and aiming at an area with birds - a tripod helps, and maybe a rock to get em to fly. I find it unlikely that it was a smudge on the camera lens or plate, as the smudge would have to be identical on both lenses or both plates. I can’t see the second image very well… no opinion there.
Still, pretty cool. What do you think?
