This is definitely one for the X-Files.
I snapped this photo back in February 2002 while taking some photos of downtown Seoul during the Lunar New Year.
After visiting Toksu Palace, I walked to Namdaemun and took a couple of the old Namdaemun Gate (it was set on fire by an arsonist in 2008 and it burned to the ground). Later, when I looked at this photo I could have sworn that was a UFO in the sky above the billboard.
I forgot all about the photo until today when I was looking at some old photos that I had loaded on a memory stick.
You be the judge. A UFO or some paper in the air? If I remember correctly, it was a windy day, but if it is a piece of paper, that’s pretty high up in the air. Incidentally, this photo is untouched, no PhotoShop tweaking other than sharpening and an auto level quick fix.
National Enquirer, get your checkbook out. I am ready to sell. Maybe we can even tie it in with the Norks firing their missiles; you know, Kim Jong-il was abducted by aliens, that sort of thing. That would explain a lot.
Are you sure it is not one of those missiles being tested?
Hi Prof.,
I think it’s not UFO, or just a dust on the lense, and I was thinking about it could be a small paper flying in the sky…
Dust on the lens? I thought about it too; however, when I magnified it, the shape looked too big to be dust. Also, I took three other pictures right before and after and there was no dust on the lens. Hmm….
