Eduardo Moreira is an economist and journalist, very accomplished and famous here in Brazil. He never deals on sensationalism, his focus is economy and politics. He is also owner of a big economic journal and YouTube channel.

Very interesting. I don't think he would fake it.

I was just thinking about this and decided to post it. It's going to be really weird once disclosure comes, and UAPs are widely accepted and talked about, and all of us who spent years reading, watching and talking about the mystery surrounding them, do they exist, do they not... All that will be forgotten.

And all this will just become a distant memory.

I'm sure plenty will still come to places like this to share pics and theories even still, so maybe it will never die. But we will be the OGs, like remembering what life was like before the internet and smartphones 😂

This whole situation irritates the living crap out of me. I know more than I willing to say publicly but I wanted to point this article out. For those of you who are dead set on debunking everything just know it’s not humanly possible; you are wasting your time.

Let me start by saying that I’m fairly new to this community and have mostly only lurked on reddit for a number of years. I’ve been seeing some misinformation about cameras and lenses though that’s really been bothering me so here is my rant.

I have a degree in film and have worked for ad agencies making marketing videos and doing regular photography and video work for the past 8 years. I’d like to talk a little bit about how focus works in regards to your typical “professional dslr/mirrorless” camera and an “iPhone” camera. They don’t work the same way. One is the result of a big lens and is analogue in nature, and the other creates a false depth of field or “blurry background” based on AI in order to mimic the professional camera look.

When we talk about focus, we are really talking about depth of field. You can google this for a better explanation, but basically it means that the focus is set to a certain distance from the lens and anything closer or further away becomes blurry. The bigger the camera sensor/lens is, the more shallow you can make the focus. In other words dslr/mirrorless cameras have bigger sensors and therefore a naturally shallow depth of field that gives that beautiful blurred background that everyone loves and sees as “professional”. iPhone and other smartphone sensors are small and cannot create this naturally so they use some sort of AI to select the subject and blur out everything else regardless of if it is closer or further away. It never really looks right and can never replace the natural analogue blurring that a real lens creates, at least not without some manual editing to select specifically what to blur. You can see this yourself if you edit your iPhone photo you took in portrait mode. You can literally select your focus after the fact. This is because with a small sensor like this, basically everything will be in focus in the “raw” photo.

So the first thing I’d like to refute is the idea that these orbs that look almost like electrical energy are simply out of focus planets. I see “that’s Venus out of focus idiot!” Posted A LOT. And everyone is quick to copycat and say “yeah this idiots never used a camera” to sound smart. This is how misinformation spreads so fast. I’m here to say that in all of my years in photography I’ve never seen something out of focus appear as sharp as these orbs. Anything out of focus isn’t sharp. These orbs are fairly sharp though.

I’d also like to refute the idea that they are lens flares. While lens flares are unique to each lens and can be considered more or less desirable depending on the photographer/filmmaker, I’ve never seen a lens flares that wasn’t a variation of a circle, hexagon/octagon based on the number of aperture blades in the lens. They don’t create weird artifacts like you see in these orb photos.

Both of these ideas are based on images taken with a mirrorless or dslr camera. I don’t do much phone photography so I can’t comment too much on if something weird is happening in-camera in regards to those photos, but I am confident that if the photo came from a mirrorless or dslr then “out of focus” or “lens flare” are NOT reasonable explanations.

I’d love to hear from other people who work in photography and video. This is my explanation based on my own experiences and would love to hear any evidence from others to the contrary. I haven’t seen any UAPs in real life myself so maybe something really weird is happening in the photo taking process and I’m just not aware of it because I haven’t had the opportunity to photograph this particular phenomenon.

EDIT: People are asking for an example of what I’m talking about and of course I can’t find the post/image that inspired me to write this. If I find it I will add it or if someone else comments it I will point it out. It was fairly close up (most likely cropped in as resolution wasn’t great) and showed a yellow orb that looked almost electrical. This is the post that had the majority of the comments I’ve seen about these being out of focus planets.

I’d also like to add that anything posted here could be entirely fake and 100% AI generated so it’s hard to truly believe any photo or video. I mostly wanted to dispel rumors about detailed photos simply being “out of focus”. If someone says that and the photo is generally blurry then they are probably right. I’ve just seen it as an excuse to write off any orb photo blurry or not.

On the night of the 22nd, the Iwakuni Kintaikyo Airport, which is used by both the US military and civilians in Iwakuni, Yamaguchi Prefecture, received a report that "several drones had entered," temporarily blocking the runway. This resulted in the delay of an All Nippon Airways flight bound for the airport by about three hours.

According to All Nippon Airways and other sources, at around 7pm on the 22nd, ANA received a call from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism office informing them that "multiple drones had entered" Iwakuni Kintaikyo Airport, which is jointly used by the US military and civilians in Iwakuni City, and the runway was temporarily unavailable.

As a result, an All Nippon Airways flight heading to the airport from Haneda Airport was unable to land, and after waiting in the air, it changed its destination to refuel and landed at Hiroshima Airport.

As the runway resumed operation just after 8pm, the flight headed to Iwakuni Kintaikyo Airport and arrived about three hours later than originally scheduled.

As a result, the return flight to Haneda Airport was also delayed by about three hours, affecting a total of about 250 passengers on both flights.

Police are currently investigating the details of the incident, including whether a drone was flying.

One of the things I have been hoping to confirm during the east coast drone flap, is whether or not the ban would affect them. The last few days have been discouraging because it seemed as though posted sightings had gone down. However, according to New Jersey congressman Chris Smith, the drones have been “ramping up”

In recent weeks, some strange bright balls have appeared in the skies around the world that have behavior unlike anything on earth. According to reports, the movements are fast and without a trajectory, which is impossible to do with planes. The hottest point for these apparitions has been in the USA, more precisely in Florida. But for the last few days they have also been observed in Portugal, in Sagres and mainly close to the coast in the Lisbon area. They normally appear from the horizon or with the “impression” of emerging from sea water. The hypothesis that they are planes and drones is excluded. The Internal Security Observatory, Air Force or ANAC (Drones/Unmanned Aircraft) are also unable to obtain concrete answers.

Hopefully the majority of us understand this.

It's like there were three pictures of Greys spotted in New Jersey. The pics get posted and there is no simple way to redirect our attention.

So the government starts sending out people by the thousands that are dressed like The Blue Man Group. Head to toe painted in blue. All of a sudden the narrative is "What the fuck is going on with these Blue people everywhere. We need to institute new laws not allowing people to be blue between the hours of 8am and 11pm in New Jersey."

And r/UFOs has thousands of posts of Blue People everywhere. Some have the flu and are slightly discolored and there are 1100 comments arguing about if that person is blue or maybe just a little sick.

Meanwhile, a couple intelligent posters say "Hey, remember those three pics of the Greys?" and they are downvoted into oblivion by people stating "Fuck dude, EVERYBODY is blue and you're over here talking about pics of Greys? Get the fuck out of this sub!"

It's the Orbs we should be talking about. Not the drones.

Carry on.

There is so much going on in the world with UAP’s that it is hard to keep track of it all. I personally feel like I am having trouble remembering what happened a month ago. Don’t ask me what happened 2 months ago cause that is all a blur to me.

Just a few minutes ago I saw someone post that picture of the blue orb on the runway in the UK. And I was all like, yeah I saw that about a month ago, moving on. But the fact is that it is a fricken blue orb on the runway and I’m acting as it is normal and old news.

Is anyone else feeling like me? That the strange and unknown has become so common that we don’t react as we should? I mean like, the news “drones” in the US has gotten to the point where I get pissed off cause it is not news but rather every day life now.

The fake ufo’s posted on twitter are now so high quality that if a real ufo landed and bit me in the arse I wouldn’t know it was a real or fake!

News from the US flows pretty steady and news from Europe is pretty easy to find if you’re looking for it. But it feels like we are getting blocked from news in South America, and that is just plain silly cause we all know that region is a giant hotspot. Real news from China is even harder to come by, least that is how it feels to me.
