SIGHTING: PERTH (AUSTRALIA)

Witness Testimony

"Anomalous image photographed over Perth city Western Australia invites questions.On Easter Sunday April 16 (2006) I took 40 photos of the moon directly over St Georges terrace (a major street) in Perth city, Western Australia. Pics werew taken from the western end of the city looking east. Of particular interest was the last frame shot at about 8 pm. I did not see this image at the time. I discovered it only when downloading the photos. It is about 3/4 up from the horizon, This frame (heavily cropped here) almost separately depicts the foreground and buildings, the moon, an elliptical image of apparently regular dimensions, containing a delta, or cone shaped object (image) concentrically disposed to the elliptical shape.Lens flare and lens dirt are eliminated by comparing this frame with others showing the ellipse, but not the inscribed delta image. The sky was clear and the evening cool and dry. The 8 megapixel camera was tripod mounted and triggered by IR remote. Exposure time of about 7 seconds was automatic, tungsten white balance, natural colour, 100 ASA, focal length about 50mm. Extra fine JPEG recording format. 2560 x 1920 pixels. (Web pics are low resolution 72 dpi) In this photo the moon has a blurred image due to earth rotation during the camera exposure time. This may be explained as follows.[To observers rotating with the Earth, the moon appears to move along the Ecliptic at ~15 arc seconds per second. That amounts to 1/120th a moon diameter per second, or a full moon width (0.5°) every 2 minutes. The apparent direction of the moon's motion depends on which hemisphere you're in. The moon's apparent motion is real enough to smear its shape and blur its surface features when telescopes or long exposures enter the picture. Courtesy http://dpfwiw.com/moon.htm#motion] Therefore, during 7 seconds camera exposure, the moon has moved 7/120ths its diameter nearly 6%. Small wonder the moon is blurred.The buildings did not move. Neither did the cone/delta shape.This raises a question. An object at 30,000 feet or less is within earth’s atmosphere and will fall due to gravity unless it is held aloft by some means that overcomes the force of gravity, such as wings on an aircraft.The photo shows that the delta/cone did not move in 6-8 seconds while the moon did.It follows that if the delta/cone image is about distant from earth as a jumbo jet and did not move relative to earth, it must have had some means to hold it stationary. Anti gravity technology is evident.Conversely, if the (image) object is so far distant that it may be in geo-stationary orbit (like some satellites that from earth appear as stars), then it is HUGE!"
