They're on my computer desk again! AUGH!

I'm plagued with the li'l buggers.

Their damned energy field always blurs the pics.
 
I've seen this pic before and tried to explain it, but can't fully.

The people and horses do not appear to be reacting to it. If I remember correctly, the person who took the image didn't see anything strange at the time. This indicates it wasn't a "real" entity. The picture is blurry and I suspect that has much to do with what is being seen on the image. Unfortunately, that is the only thing (which isn't much) I feel confident enough to say about the picture.

Later I might link to some other images of somewhat similar "beings" that have been taken.
 
I dont think that the people and the horses would of noticed the supposed "Demon", because they both have their backs turned to it in the origanal untouched photo (link below.) The size of the creature is another debate, and the fact that it appears to be not walking but "running" across the street. This photograph is still open for discussion. Keep in touch and please add your opinions!

Their back was only against it when the "being" was in the road. Ahead of time they could have and therefore showed signs of reaction. I can't say for sure however. It was all of what I mentioned thrown together that seems to indicate that the "being" wasn't "real".

I can't tell if it's running or walking. The size is only debatable if you try and get it down to the exact millimeter.

I agree the photo is still open for discussion. Heck, I'll still talk about BM's photos after all:)
 
Here's an enhanced blowup of the original, reduced to half-size by HTML. It will save at 1011 x 759.

It helps to have the full image for perspective.
 
If its a child, it must be a really small child for it to walk by unnoticed by Soldiers on horseback. Another possibility is that the creature could of been spotted AFTER the photo was taken. Ever think of that? Lol. Keep in touch! :eek:

If it's a child, why would the soldiers on horses pay attention to it? "Oh my gosh, LOOK! A CHILD! Stop the horses! Take pictures!"

Another possibility is that the creature could of been spotted AFTER the photo was taken.

And a more reasonable possibility is that mounted soldiers aren't interested in spotting children.

Ever think of that?

Why, golly gee whiz all gosharootie, NO, I NEVER though of that. Thank you for your perspicacity.

Actually, what I think of in analyzing a picture like that to find a reasonable explanation for it before inventing silly-arsed notions about alien critters.

This is a photo of a similar (if not the same) pathway in the Parque Forestal.

Aside from the trees, it's wide open. Surely SOMEONE would have noticed an alien critter darting around, including the photographer.

IAC, attempting to draw a definitive conclusion based on a small portion of a photo of 200 x 150 pixels is all but impossible. Ergo, if a mundane, unexciting explanation fits, it makes more sense to assume that it's the correct one than to assume that a lack of a clear image means that an arcane explanation is warranted.

Lol. Keep in touch!

Oh, definitely.

BTW: 9 Possible Explanations For Alleged Alien In Chilean Photo

Without the original photo, nothing can be settled. Maybe it WAS an alien, but that's extremely unlikely, if for no other reason than that the notions about how it got there would be more absurd than it's being there.

If I remember correctly, the person who took the photo indicated that no one noticed anything before or after. The oddity was only noticed in the pic.




Thanks to the link Korman gave I found a interview with the witness.

"-- What was it about that shot that drew your attention?

--Look, first I took a photo of the Carabinero patrol that was coming over the nearby bridge. Then, since I was riding my bike, I headed for the northern sector. I took another photo of them from that point, and that's the one on the Internet.

--Did you see the alien in the [digital camera's] screen?

--No, I saw it the next day, when I downloaded the photo.

--And what did you think? "


Interview with Alien Photographer - UFO Evidence
 
It could be a particularly suggestive simulacrum, a thing or a particular alignment of unrelated things which is identified as something else that it happens to resemble, particularly when a lot of visual information is missing. The Mars Face is the most famous example. Here's another, a photo of a guy in a long grey coat standing in a path looking toward the trees.

And here's the "guy", enlarged.

"He" is an old carved tree stump. Humans see what they want to see as often as what they actually see.

One wonders whether he still has the downloaded image. Even a basic 2-MP digicam can take a 1600x1200 image. The 200x150 image linked to in post #5 is useless.

This page, which the thumbnail view links to, is no help. It just contains blowups of the thumbnail.

After more digging in the UFOEvidence site ...

Restoration of the Parque Forestal Image (CIFAE Report)

The Kodak DX6490 is not a cheap PoS. It is certainly capable of taking excellent photos.

So we have an image from a fairly high quality camera that was originally 1656 x 1242 pixels, but all we have to work with are pathetic reductions of the image. This leads me to suspect that the full-sized image shows what it actually is, and it's not what we're led to believe based on lousy reduced-sized, highly-compressed copies. But what would happen to the mystery and the ability to gain the 15 minutes of fame if the original image were made available?

Conclusion: not fraud, but deception.
 
Sorry, I should have quoted more before. Here's a better version. From same link as before. Interview with Alien Photographer - UFO Evidence


-- What was it about that shot that drew your attention?

--Look, first I took a photo of the Carabinero patrol that was coming over the nearby bridge. Then, since I was riding my bike, I headed for the northern sector. I took another photo of them from that point, and that's the one on the Internet.

--Did you see the alien in the [digital camera's] screen?

--No, I saw it the next day, when I downloaded the photo.

--And what did you think?

--I was impressed, that's all. I saw it with a colleague and we found it odd. I thought that it was the same impression everyone else who saw the photo must have had. It's rather shocking. The fact of the matter is that I didn't see it when I took the picture.

--Do you recall seeing anything odd at the time?

No, nothing at all. And I also asked myself that when I checked the photo, I tried to recall what was there. It would have been ideal to have seen it when the photo was taken, by I saw nothing strange. I was interested in taking a photo of the mounted patrol.

--If it was an alien it should have come out in the other photos you took that day.

--Yes, it could have come out, but it appears in that one only. Now, the other (photos) are from other areas.

Nah, it wouldn't be so blurry if it was well done:)

The fact he makes no claims of seeing anything in person indicates to me it probably wasn't a deliberate hoax. Can't say for sure on that alone however.
 
This is totally a picture of a kid! It looks like a three year old with blonde hair, crouching or kneeling down. It's just a strange angle, and blurry. But if you look at the enhanced photo...you should be able to clearly see that it's just a small kid, and probably not a freakishly small or abnormal one at that.

The photographer is probably an opportunist who noticed that the photo, due to
the angle of the photo, the position of the child, and the blurriness, appeared to show an anomalous being. They then pushed it as such, making up that they "didn't see the creature" when the photo was being taken. They could have even been taking a photo of their own child and noticed it looked strange.

Who wouldn't notice an alien running around in broad daylight, and why would an alien or being mysteriously show up in a picture? Doesn't make sense.

Also, why do they assume it's an 'alien being'?
 
I have seen this picture before, showed it to a friend and we both concluded it was a small child. Now that I have never seen the uncropped pic before and my opinion has changed. First, no responsible parent would let a child that small walk behind a horse, second it would have to be the size of a newborn. Recently I have been reading about gnomes and other forest folk, which would explain the horses calm demeaner. Or It could be a lesser demon, an Imp for instance.
