On October 27, 1996, Lajos Kosina was visiting his girlfriend's parents in the small village of Erpatak in Szabolcs-Satmar County, Hungary. Lajos 'friend posed for one picture in her parents' garden, and then no one noticed anything unusual in the sky.

After developing the photo a few weeks later, Lajos was surprised to see a" disk-shaped " object in the sky behind his girlfriend. Despite their curiosity, they didn't show this photo to anyone for several months. They weren't particularly interested. 

Eventually, through a friend of the photographers, this photo was leaked to the Hungarian UFO Network (HUFON), which conducted a preliminary study.

HUFON examined the photo using optical and computer techniques on the original negative and concluded that the UFO was not the result of a film defect and was not a small model suspended from a wire. HUFON researchers are convinced that this is a real UFO, and not the result of a hoax.

Further examination of the HUFON photo revealed that the UFO was not blurry. To them, this indicated that he was either stationary or moving very slowly, and was not the model being tossed into the air behind the young lady in the picture. 

After questioning the photographer, HUFON was unable to find any evidence to support the idea that he could have faked the photo.

The HUFON researchers concluded that this is a real UFO photo, and that the photo shows a real flat disc-shaped object with a diameter of several meters, the surface of which seems to reflect the autumn sun.

Original news

By Laszlo Kiss & Philip Mantle

On October 27th, 1996, Lajos Kosina was visiting his girlfriend’s parents’ house in the small village of Erpatak in the county of Szabolcs-Szatmar, Hungary. Lajos’s girlfriend posed for one snapshot in her parent’s garden and no one noticed anything unusual in the sky at the time.

Upon having the photograph developed some weeks later Lajos was surprised to see a ‘disc-shaped’ object in the sky behind his girlfriend. Although curious they did not show the photograph in question to anyone for several months. They were not really interested in it. Eventually, via a friend of the photographers, the photograph in question found it’s way to the Hungarian UFO Network (HUFON) who have conducted some preliminary research.

HUFON has studied the photograph using both optical and computer techniques on the original negative and has concluded that that the UFO is not a result of a film fault, nor is it a small model suspended on a wire. HUFON researchers are convinced that it is a genuine UFO and not the result of a hoax.

Further study of the photograph by HUFON revealed that the UFO was not blurred. To them, this indicated that it was either stationary or moving very slowly and was not a model being thrown through the air behind the young lady in the picture. Having questioned the photographer HUFON could find no evidence to support the idea that he may have hoaxed the photo.

HUFON researchers were left with the conclusion that this is a genuine UFO photograph, and that a real, flat, disc-shaped object, several meters in diameter can be seen in the photo, the surface of which appears to reflect the autumn sunshine.

Капля (или загрязнение) на объективе или стекле

Often it's a small point on the photos, like hovering metal ball. At least - this is quite a big blur. Color, brightness and the presence of a highlight depends on the color of the reflected light source, background shooting and drop form.

Shape, color and density of pollution may vary depending on the source of the contamination and its nature. This can be as a desired pattern on the glass, and random.
