Is it a street light? Golly no, it must be a UFO!

To summarize: a person is puzzled at a photo she took. She remains utterly convinced that it is not the streetlight it very much appears to be, despite everyone else saying so. To prove she is right, she takes an actual picture of a streetlight at night... which is practically identical to her own picture, but blurry. Proof that it's not a street light! (ETA: to be fair she doesn't claim it's a flying saucer, but still, very deluded woman)

A very amusing case of the powers of self-delusion if I've ever seen any. :D

i was just at FARK too. i liked the part where she asked if it could be a shuttle or a satellite, all the while maintaining that the thing was practically stationary. Demonstrates lack of knowledge in either field.

Wow. That whole thread is one of the funniest things I've read in a while.
Thanks for posting it! :D

Been looking at that thing for almost an hour now, and I still don't see the sailboat.

Thanks for posting it! :D

Seconded!

But until i see the shot where she uses the flash, I am tentatively, very tentatively, identifying it as a
STREET LIGHT.

From that site:"You took a pic of Unicron. And apparently, he's feeling a little bit down today."


Hey that sounds good to me. Or it's a streetlamp from another planet!!!
