UFOs AND ORBS IN MY OWN BACK GARDEN - DAY 1 - DAWN AND DUSK 10th October 2008




















I began photographing Orbs and UFOs for this twelve day project in my back garden at dawn in October 2008. Between 10th and 21st October 2008, for 12 consecutive days, I photographed at dawn and dusk. I took just over 1000 photographs in that time. What I consider to be the clearest photos are posted below.

EQUIPMENT & METHOD
For the purposes of this project, I photographed at dawn and dusk. I used my family digital camera - an inexpensive Concord (model 6430z) 6.0 megapixels and sometimes a Cannon Powershot 7.4 megapixel digital. I haven't used ultra-violet or infra-red filters. With such low light being emitted at dawn and dusk, my flash goes off on auto. It seems that that is enough.

Day 1 - Dawn Photo 1

Just as dawn's light broke, I shot this photo. In the bottom right you can see the orb. It was taken facing East, in the same spot as the "Three Orbs Dusk photo" on the same day.

Day 1 - Dusk Photo 1

Look at about 1 o'clock in the sky. The Orb is clearly visible. This picture was shot on a 6 megapixel digital camera facing West at dusk - no filters.













Day 1 - Dusk photo 2

Three Orbs in this picture, taken without any filters or enhanced features. Photographed at dusk.














Day 1 - Dusk Photo 2.1


I was curious, so using photoshop I added a light fill, and incandescent light to the three Orbs picture. Now you can see the stars in the background, and more of the Orbs.

Three Orbs in this picture, taken without any filters but enhanced with white light and incandescent features on photoshop, which now bring up the starlit sky.

Orbs Photographed in Back Garden Fog - 12th October 2008

I wasn't expecting any photos at dawn. The fog hung rather thickly around the houses. So I took just two shots - one East and the other South West. Here's the results.

Day 3 - Dawn Photo 1

Taken at 6.55 AM without filters, just flash from camera. The weather conditions were foggy, so I didn't expect to seeso many Orbs. Facing South West.












Day 3 - Dawn Photo 1.1
Taken at 6.55 AM without filters, just flash from camera. The weather conditions were foggy, and I didn't expect to see any Orbs. Enhanced in photoshop with the Tuning features - White Balance, Fill Light, and Shapening to illuminate the Orbs more. Facing South West.

Day 3 - Dawn Photo 2


Taken at 6.50 AM without filters, just flash from camera. The weather conditions were foggy, and I didn't expect to see Orbs. I was stunned by this photo. There are so many Orbs that I gave up counting. I was facing East.










Day 3 - Dawn photo 2.1


Taken at 6.50 AM without filters, just flash from camera. The weather conditions were foggy, and I didn't expect to see Orbs. I was stunned by this photo, a cluster of Orbs. I enhanced the foggy Orbs with photoshop White Balance and Fill Light. Facing East.








I want to show a series of three photos taken with about 10 seconds between them at 6.45PM GMT. The light on the right is a very bright moon. Photo one shows no Orb, but 11 seconds later in the same position, one appears on the left hand side. Another 10 seconds later, the Orb has vanished.

This photo is an enhanced version of photo 2, and the White Balance photoshop effect highlights the Orb, contrasting it to the moon.

Day 4 - Dawn and Dusk UFO photos - 13th October 2008

Today's photos have thrown up a surprise in the dusk shots. The Orbs have company, or maybe they're manifesting in a different form?

Taken 11 seconds later, facing South West, this dusk photo shows a UFO about 5 degrees South of the previous photo. It seems to be reflecting or giving out light.











Day 4 - Dusk Photo 2.1



A photoshop enhanced version. The phototshop White Balance and Light Fill features highlight the clouds.



Close Up









A minute and half later from Photo 2, the next sequence of photos shows no UFO in Photo 3, then a brightly lit or reflecting image 14 seconds on. 14 seconds later it's shifted position (Photo 5), and in Photo 6 the object has moved higher, near to the top edge of the shot. I saw NOTHING in the sky at the time of shooting all of these photos. My flash takes between 9 to 15 seconds to recharge.
