THE SKEPTIC'S LAST GASP
A FINAL ATTEMPT AT DUPLICATING MEIER'S UFO PHOTOS
Michael Horn
James Deardorff’s recent article about Meier’s
Hasenböl photo, the famous “sunlight
photo”, which is one of 34 photos in this series, is a succinct masterpiece of
evidence and reasoning that conclusively shows the genuineness of Meier’s UFO
photos.
However, British skeptic Tony Wharton wanted to make his very best attempt at duplicating this famous
photo of Meier’s and so here is his version, which you can compare to Meier’s
original photo, taken in 1976:

There are of course some
obvious, very apparent differences between the two photos, such as the fact that
Tony’s small model UFO is nowhere near the tree in the background, as comparing
the very clear small model to the far less clear large tree in the background
clearly reveals. To have placed it next to the tree would have immediately and
conclusively revealed it to be a tiny, barely visible object, unlike the large
UFOs that Meier photographed.
Tony’s “UFO” is also
immediately revealed as a small object close to the camera, not only by its
extreme clarity as opposed to the less clear tree behind it, but also because
there is no shadow anywhere on the ground that would have to be cast by a large
object near the tree. The shadows of trees close to the camera confirm that
some shadow from a large object near the tree would result because of the sun’s
position.
And one can also appreciate the proximity of several of the barren branched trees to the UFO, both closer and farther away from the camera than the one that the UFO hovers next to.
...AND THE END OF THE "MINIATURE TREES" CLAIMS BY IGNORANT, LAZY SKEPTICS
One last, irritating fact for the skeptics to have to deal with is that the tree was not only found by the original investigators but...photographed, with a man standing next to it, during a season in which leaves covered the formerly barren branches:
Of course actually seeing Meier and a film director walk over to the tree doesn't hurt either.
