Los Angeles UFO Photo
Analysis DATE ARTICLE POSTED:
22.11.05
The above photograph
was taken at the time of the air raid and shows
all the searchlights aimed at a flying object. The
smaller white dots are explosions from the anti
aircraft guns.
This is the actual image untouched. Note the coastline
towards the bottom of the photograph.
The area where
the searchlights converge has been magnified and the object
within the beams can be seen.
We have taken the original image and added a color
filter to dramatically enhance the searchlights and
flying object.
This is the
same image as before but magnified to show the object
itself.
We have now
adjusted the levels of the image to enhance the detail
of the object. The image has not been altered, only the
brightness and contrast have been changed.
We have now
taken the image and removed the noise using a shadow/highlight
filter. A single AA explosion remains.
With the levels
adjusted the image has now been inverted. Dark areas are
easier to analyze so we can perceive greater detail
Magnifying the
object from the previous image shows that the large blob
at the top is not part of the craft, but a very well aimed
antiaircraft shell.
We now have
the best enhanced image and from this we can see the shape
of the craft..
Finally we now
actually alter the image itself, removing the explosions
and sharpening the lines of the craft itself. This is
what was over Los Angeles that night. It certainly doesn't
look like a weather balloon..
To help
you see how we have enhanced the image we are providing
a 'live' version of the enhancement below. The first image
is untouched and by pressing play you will see the image
gradually sharpen until the object is revealed. Try the
negative button for a different perspective.
