20200615_corsicily1954.jpg Summary/Description: Four Sicilians gaze skyward at two unidentified objects similar to those being mentioned in press reports and appearing in photos from other European countries. The authenticity of the images was checked by questioning the photographer, who said the objects were in the sky and remained still for several minutes. The U.S. Air Force has announced that it is looking into these latest accounts of the objects moving through the heavens.[showmap address=”Sicily, Italy” marker=”1″ map=”HYBRID” zoom=”12″ scroll=”1″ street=”1″ zoomcontrol=”1″ pan=”1″ mapcontrol=”1″ overview=”1″] ref: 1954: Sicily, Italy Sighting - Think AboutIt - REAL - http://www.thinkaboutitdocs.com/1954-sicily-italy/

Guess what this UFO is.

- This UFO is probably a snap button on a garment. - The thin cloud-like structure above and around the UFO is probably a wrinkle in the fabric. It is likely that the photographer touched the wrong button on the camera by mistake and the black clothing appeared in the picture. This is a common occurrence with old mechanical cameras. If it was intentional, it should have been upside down. 20200615_UFO-sicily-italy_en.jpg - The following testimony by the photographer would of course be false.
the photographer, who said the objects were in the sky and remained still for several minutes.
- The following quotes are also incorrect. None of the people in the photo have their heads up and are unaware of the anomaly in the sky. They are leaning against the fence, resting their feet and looking lazily at the shore (a ship that has come in contact with the shore?). If a UFO had appeared, this would be an impossible observation posture.

- The composition is odd, even so. It is odd that the person in the photo is not in the front but in the back. It is also strange that the feet are cut off. The sky is unnecessarily wide. - The person in the foreground is in the way of the landscape. If you move forward a little and move from there, the people would be out of the way. If the intention was to photograph the people and the scenery they are looking at together, they should have moved further to the left and followed the direction of their gazes. - If you wanted to capture the building on the left, the ocean, and the people looking at it all in one shot, you would have moved further to the left. In those days, film was very expensive, and it was psychologically impossible to take unnecessary pictures. There must have been some kind of photographic intention. Whether it was successful or not is not clear. (2020-06-15)
