Solway-Pertschy astronaut

In this article we will focus on the picture where the little girl we see a figure resembling an astronaut.

Known the

Usually, the story accompanying the picture reads:

24 may 1964 Jim Templeton family spent time in the Solway Firth, in the North-West of England. There he turned and to his five daughters, which was later discovered a strange figure, like a spaceman.

Once the picture became known to the public, there were many hypotheses. For example, there have been suggestions that the astronaut is just a toy. Ufologists have proposed a version with the landing of an alien spaceship which was invisible to the human eye but visible to the camera lens.

The most plausible seems the hypothesis stated that we'll bring in the summary translation below.

The clue is the appearance of an unknown object in this story is another photo taken the same day. In this shot the girl and her mother.

The girl with her mother

Annie, the mother of Elizabeth, it appears, on his knees on the grass. On it at the moment sundress with blue sleeves.

Presumably, the girl's mother was captured by Jim Templeton became famous picture. Excessive contrast of the image makes her sundress almost white (the same effect can be achieved with the second photo, just increasing the contrast in a graphics editor). It is also clear that Annie was a brunette. Image focus is on the girl's face, so the image of the mother a little vague.

If you look at the first pictures, it becomes clear that the girl's mother stands at the photographer's back. Below of dark hair visible pink back, and you can razgledeti small sleeveless (wide straps?) the sundress barely covering the shoulders (although due to contrast and lighting color of the hands and sundress in the photo almost blend in, but it can be good to consider if to increase the area of the photo and add to it a contrast).

Fragment original photo with increased contrast

This explanation looks quite logical and believable. Although, in our view, an important question remains: why is the upper part of a woman's head in the first photo white? To say something definite is difficult. Write it off as a highlight in the hair and similar effects. The author of the original version we are on this subject found nothing. We can assume that it was a headdress, for example, Panama.

Therefore, most likely, on the famous photos of Solway PERMSKOGO astronaut depicted none other than the photographer's wife.
