Here is a nice example of how MUFON presents UFO evidence.  The first link is the original report about a photograph with an unusual anomaly and the story behind it.

The second is the rebuttal from the actual people the photograph came from.  Props to them for setting the record straight.

What I find really interesting is how in the first story they add so much, such as unexplained dirt patches, supposed faces in the trees and entity/alien/spirits.   It goes to show the difference between skeptical thinking and a believer trying to validate his proof.

" The pictures were never meant for public eyes until the photos were deemed factual which I know they are since I was there. With that said."

If she knows they were factual because she was there, then why is she griping?  "Not until they were deemed factual which I know they are because I was there"  Sounds awfully strange for her to bring it up then.

"Some how the camera superimposed this flower basket in the trees! I guess this means the camera is screwed royally?!?!?!?!?"

I suppose that could happen if he's been dinking around with things on it, but I wonder… (and no I'm not saying that it IS a alien ship, I'm more speculating on how the basket got superimposed in the first place)

Yeah, I thought about that too.  I know accidental double exposures can occur, but with today’s cameras that’s pretty difficult to do.  Maybe that’s the real mystery to solve, how that picture happened if not intentional.  Once that is known, that knowledge could be put toward debunking other similar photos.

Aliens? I'm sorry, I can't see anything but trees.

That effect with the two women I see a lot in photos. The flash fires taking a freeze frame but the shutter stays open for a few seconds which opens all sorts of possibilities with double images. Seeing the original with exif data usually settles it. 

I'd also like to know more about this "infrared attachment". More addons to leave possible artifacts.
