Verden Waghorn, people living in Queenstown (Otego, New Zealand), believed not in UFOs until I photographed one with exceptional clarity and strangeness.

About two weeks ago he traveled near the bridge over the river Dart (on the road between Glenorchy and Routeburn) in search of fossils or other rocks. Around noon, he made twenty photographs of the surrounding landscape to show his family back home.

Later in the evening, looking at their pictures, he noticed the mysterious little dark figure in the sky to the West of Humboldt. He claims that at that time he had not seen or heard any aircraft. After this event, he admits he was confused.

In response to the investigation conducted by the newspaper Otago Daily Times, a spokesman for Airways New Zealand confirmed that at the present time air traffic control did not detect any aircraft in the region. where the UFO was photographed.

Mr. Waghorn said that the object appeared in only one of his photos. Very skeptical and not closed for some rational explanation, such as a speck of dust or a small insect on the lens of the device.

"I'm sure there is a reasonable and rational explanation. I don't think that little green men from outer space - but every time I look at it, I realize that this is such an odd shape. This thing is not like a bird or a plane. This puzzled me."

Original news

Verdun Waghorn, un homme résidant dans la ville de Queenstown (dans la région Otego, en Nouvelle-Zélande), ne croyait pas aux OVNI jusqu’à ce qu’il en photographia un d’une clarté et d’une étrangeté exceptionnelles.

Il y a environ quinze jours, il s’était rendu près du pont de la rivière Dart (sur la route entre Glenorchy et Routeburn) afin de partir à la recherche de fossiles ou autres roches. Aux alentours de midi, il prit vingt photos du paysage environnant afin de les montrer à sa famille à son retour.

Plus tard, dans la soirée, en regardant ses clichés, il remarqua une mystérieuse petite forme sombre dans ciel, à l’ouest à proximité des montagnes de Humboldt.

Il affirme qu'il n'a pas vu ni entendu d’avion à ce moment-là. Depuis cet évènement, il avoue être dérouté.

En réponse à une enquête menée par le journal « Otago Daily Times », une porte-parole des Voies Aériennes de Nouvelle-Zélande a confirmé que le contrôle de la circulation aérienne n’avait pas repéré d'avions dans la région à l’instant où l’OVNI a été photographié.

M. Waghorn a dit que l'objet était apparu que sur l'une de ses photos. Très sceptique, il n’est pas fermé à quelques explications rationnelles comme celle d’un grain de poussière ou encore d’un petit insecte sur l’objectif de l’appareil.

« Je suis sûr qu'il y a une explication raisonnable et rationnelle. Je ne pense pas que ce soit les petits hommes verts venus de l'espace - mais à chaque fois que je la regarde, je me rends compte que c’est une forme si bizarre. »

« Cette chose ne ressemble pas à un oiseau ou un avion. Ça m'a déconcerté. »

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

Beetles and other insects

Flying insects in photos and videos can be mistaken for UFOs.

Shooting can take place in the daytime or in the evening. When moving, the outlines of the insect can be both blurred and clear. Depending on this, dark spots or spots of bizarre shapes can be taken for UFOs. The video shows UFOs hovering in the sky, flying in a straight line or moving along a complex trajectory (for example, shooting May bugs near a tree against the background of the evening sky). Insects can be mistaken for UFOs by accident, or given out intentionally. At night, they can be highlighted by a flash.

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.

Birds

Due to the peculiarities of the bird's flight, it is possible to capture a moment in the photo when an ordinary bird will resemble a "classic" UFO in shape.
