Is the following analysis of Ed Walter photos of the Gulf Breeze sightings accurate?

You could also easily fake this by shooting the photo through a window, and having the UFO model visible as a reflection.
Which would fit in this case, because the sky and some stars are visible through the “UFO”.

They also found a model of the thing in his attic after he moved:

A cheap piece of shit glued together from styrofoam dinner plates.

UFO =/= extraterrestrial.

And just because someone’s a respected such-and-such doesn’t mean they can’t be wrong in their conclusions. This is why peer review is important.

@Darth_Algar: I beg your pardon, but don’t you agree THAT’s what I did by posting the analysis by Carlotto here on this website? For peer review? Noting that there’s evidence too taken by @ragingloli that Carlotto could be wrong?

I mean, a photo can be “real”, as in not manipulated after it was taken, but still be fraudulent.
There was this scene in 2001, where a pen was “floating” in zero gravity.
That was done by sticking the pen to a perfectly transparent pane of glass, invisible to the camera, with a couple of guys moving the glass around, to make it appear as if the pen was moving.

@luigirovatti

Not sure that you’re quite understand what “peer” means in the context of “peer-reviewed”.

@Darth_Algar: I merely wanted to say that, apart from posting the analysis here, I don’t know where I could find a forum of engineers, physicists, astronomers, in other words, scientists, who are willing to discuss UFOs too.

@gorillapaws: Thank you! That could really help. :)

@luigirovatti Happy to help. I used to believe in paranormal stuff in my younger days, until I learned about skepticism. I mostly blame it on “documentaries” from Discovery, History Channel, etc. Eventually I learned about James Randi’s prize. I then realized the whole supernatural thing was bogus. At first I was sad because it meant the world was a less “magical” place than I had previously believed. And then I realized that my interpretation was all wrong—it wasn’t that the world lacked wonder and mystery, it was that these mysteries actually exist and science is solving them! Believing in something that is actually solving mysteries about our universe every day was a game-changer for me. I also became interested in how so many (good, sincere) people have gotten things so wrong about supernatural phenomena, and that’s when I really spent a lot of time learning about skepticism. It’s pretty fascinating stuff.
