Deer UFO: Mississippi hunting camera records UFO visiting deer? (video) - Long Island Top News | Examiner.com
Thought this would be interesting to hear comments on.

This is one of the better news reports I've seen. There's not even a hint of the giggle factor.

Could this mysterious light be a UFO?

Even on CNN

Could be Santa recruiting some new deers for next years run ?

What I don't understand is - why are the deer front-lit - rather than back-lit - if the cameras' are infrared and the ufo lights are behind the deer (from the perspective of the cameras). What am I missing here?

As always, a poster offers a reasonable explanation: "Large 4x4 with 2 spotlights on roll bar."

TEXT: "Multiple Deer cam images from the 150 acres that Rainer and Edith Shattles call home in the Cumbest Bluff area of Jackson County show at least one UFO in several images and lights that seem to project from nowhere.The Images were caught on camera the night of February 16 2014"

I believe that there WAS SOMETHING that caused a light note this pic

as you can see there is a light present and the deer interact with said light

Caught in the Headlights? Experts Explain Deer-Cam UFO - NBC News

A trail-camera picture shows a deer's head with two lights and a ghostly haze hanging above it. Representatives of the company that made the camera say the spooky apparition is actually a distorted image of the deer and its eyes, reflected as part of a phenomenon known as blowback.

.... how do they explain the deer looking at the lights ?

 

[Bob Watson]

or the image I posted showing a light and the deer interacting with it?

they do look directly into the light, and freeze, thats why its called lamping, they cant see the dogs coming, or the bullet for that matter, same with rabbit's, they run when they hear the dog's coming, by then the dogs usually on them, as the dog runs along-side the beam and not in it, also you work into the wind, that also muffles the sound of the dog approaching full stretch out of the darkness, with deer you would need to be down wind or they would scent you, and be on their toes.
