UFO sightings and video phones

The dramatic rise in the number of flying saucers reported over Scotland is caused by... video phones, reports The Sunday Mail, sighted via The Cameraphone Report

"The illusion of an extra-terrestrial force is sparked by the phones being pointed into the sun. This creates an image of a blurred object that appears to hover before flashing a 'ray gun' into the ground.

Ron Halliday, who has been investigating paranormal phenomena for more than 20 years confirmed a string of reports based on phone videos. The Stirling University-based expert, who is also chairman of Scottish Earth Mysteries Research, said: 'The shape of the UFO is consistent with other alien sightings across the world.'

'The limited sensor in a camera phone cannot cope with the brightness and a solid black blob appears in the image in the middle of the bright area. The rays coming down can be explained by the flares created from photographing into the sun, causing the sensors to overload.'

Interesting, an article in 2004 titled : UFO sightings and camphone shots - New trend? - reported that Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) sightings documented by camera phones were proliferating around the world.
