UFO photo Perth on "A Current Affair" this week.

Anyone in WA want a good laugh?
Adverts for channel 9's quality() "A Current Affair" programme this week are claiming they have a photo of a UFO over Perth.
They're advertising that the "Experts" claim it is real. WOW!
It is quite obvious in the advert that it is lens flare!
Looking forward to a good chuckle.

I can remember those plastic UFO things that Red Rooster used to have meals in! I'm talking late 80's! They used to come with stickers!

The episode was more to get in viewers, but overall it discredited the finding.

More quality journalism from current affiar programs. Aren't current affiar programs out of date these days anyway? You really want some amateur journalist trying to tell you what to think about things?

Here are two 'ufo' images. Isnt it a coincedence that both photos have the Perth skyline in them.
I dont think any alien would land in isolated dullsville...probably go to Las Vegas!

No.1 link is obviously lens flare from that honking big spot light in the bottom of frame.

No.2 looks like a blowfly to me (yes, I have photographs with blowflys getting in and spoiling the shot)

Well if it's on ACA then it must be true.
