Hi, everyone. Now here's a fascinating development coming out of the Ohio Valley. It seems as though an Ohio family has captured a UFO on a surveillance camera. I find the photographs quite remarkable. Enjoy
Unexplained images appear in local man's wildlife photos

ELLSBERRY, OHIO - While speculation and theory have consumed the region following the recent crop circle discoveries, one Brown County resident stumbled upon what some may consider a challenge to rational explanation.
Michael Franklin and his wife Marsha, reside on their farm in Ellsberry where they enjoy observing nature and spending time on their land.
According to Mr. Franklin, he had recently purchased a "deer camera", popularly advertised in hunting stores and magazines, to observe deer on his property in preparation for hunting season.
To the uninitiated, cameras of this type use 35 mm film and can be programmed to react to both heat and movement within a 30 foot radius, by snapping a photo with a flash.
The camera can also be programmed to take photos at one, six, and eight, minute intervals, as well as by the hour.
After mounting the camera at a hilltop grazing area to photograph through the night on Tuesday, Sept. 23, and into the next morning, Mr. Franklin felt sure he would see deer, as well as the usual night creatures, on the film.
However, after developing the roll, the Franklin's observed images that perplexed them.
"We looked at the prints quickly on the way to a picnic," said Mrs. Franklin, an English teacher at Mason County in Kentucky, "and at first were disappointed because there were no deer in sight. But then we realized that the shapes in the sky were not normal."
"We just decided that people needed to see these pictures," Mr. Franklin told The Defender.
Upon chronological inspection of the prints in question, a sequence seemed to emerge beginning with a white obelisk in the center of the frame.
The photos, taken in the westwardly direction, then show what appears to be a bright flash, accompanied by streams of light or white area following. The next frame shows the white or light area moving south west, or to the left, in the frame.
While there has been no professional evaluation of the photos or the camera itself, the area in question was investigated by Defender publisher, Caleb Grooms and reporter, Jynx Jenkins on Wednesday, Oct. 1.
Along with Mr. Franklin, Grooms and Jenkins traveled to the area and found that the pictures, taken in the morning hours of Sept. 24, sometime before 11 a.m., did indeed face west, ruling out the possibility of the sun itself being captured on film in the sky.
Also, the distance of the tree line from the actual camera mounting site is beyond the 30 ft. detection radius, leaving the execution of the shots unanswered, except for the possiblity of extreme heat tripping the sensor.
While many photos of such subject matter can be disproved or found to be camera or processing faults, the Franklin's feel the pictures should be seen and judged by each viewer.
No conjecture as to the nature or the origin of the subject matter within the photos shown has been made by the editorial staff of The People's Defender.
Seeing how it is, this mysterious intruder was captured on 35mm film. It should be very interesting to see what the professionals come up with, in the way of a final assessment of the nagatives?
