Argentina airport: “entity” photographed



“Entity” that was captured on camera

Editor’s note: Translation mine

The CEUFO (Center for Studies UFO) of Argentina received an email from a photographer (Fabián Romano) that claimed to have captured a strange being on his camera while taking some shots around the Macachín airport.

The image submitted to CEUFO is said to have been taken in midday with a Minolta digital camera. Using a lens of 135 mm and a manual speed of 1/1000.

The CEUFO analyzed the image and declared it to be that of a flying “entity”. They also said that the image was of a “high strangeness”. The CEUFO came to this conclusion after submitting the photograph to rigorous testing.

CEUFO also submitted the image to various centers around the globe for further examination. The curator for the Provincial Museum (Gustavo Siegentale) said that the image was “very strange” indeed. Gustavo Siegentale went on to even claim that this could be a “mammal, carnivore and with wings” obviously “an unknown species”.

According to The CEUFO, the image was then submitted to the Special Criminal Division (police) of La Pampa. The division, using hi-tech equipment that is usually used for criminal cases, said that the in the photograph, one can see eye sockets, a beak and the object could be 80 cm tall. Taking in reference the airplane’s propellor in the background.

The CEUFO also said that this was not the only reported sighting of the creature. There has been other situations were people have seen strange creatures in or around the airport area. Further investigations are pending.

I think this is an interesting image. Interesting because it looks like a flying carnivorous creature. Notice the emphasis on “looks”.

Although the CEUFO say that the image was analyzed by several qualified individuals using the latest hi-tech equipement, I still think its a case of pareidolia. Something I have seen countless times before.

Possible explanations as to what this could be:

1. Smudge on the window
self explanatory

2. Seagull (or other bird) with kill
carrying a frog or crab ?

3. Tarantula Hawk Wasp (Pompilidae family)

“…Worldwide distribution of tarantulas includes areas from India to Southeast Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Americas, where these predatory wasps are also likely to be found. Tarantula hawk species have been observed from as far north as Oregon, in the United States, and south as far as Argentina in South America, with at least 250 species living in South America…” -Wikipedia

Notice the legs of the wasp. It’s possible that given the distortion of the window’s glass and the in-flight blur of when the picture was taken, the distortion could have been enough to really make this out to be larger and thicker of a creature than it normally would be.

Just kidding.

On a serious note. It’s important to take images like these for what they really are. A blurred, indistinguishable image that looks like ‘something’. I’ve seen a lot of these photographs around the web, a lot of them submitted here at GhostTheory. I think we can say that pareidolia takes another victim.
