Oh god, this explains a few things that my doctors and physiotherapists haven't ever been able to diagnose.

Either that, or, as in a post-apocalyptic dystopia, violent nature has reclaimed a once-bustling modern city whose skyscrapers, streets, and vehicles have been strangled by impenetrable jungle undergrowth, primordial vines, and carnivorous vegetation.

Currently there are still a couple of interested parties, both stateside. In fact, I've had more interest from the US than the UK. Surprising, given how utterly British Scarfolk is. I had always imagined it as BBC thing. US producers also seem less risk-averse, content-wise. In meetings, anyway.

#Scarfolk first went into development in 2014, if I recall. So a good decade or so of IP enquiries, meetings (UK & US), contract negotiations, rights options, commissioned pilot scripts, god knows how many drafts of varying scope, genre, length, budget.
A couple of *very* close misses. No cigar.

Yes, it was a while back. They didn't seem to get it.
And then it went to radio, but that didn't work out either.

Plus the Garry River runs right through Calvine, so plenty of opportunities for such a photo.

Yep, if you look at it upside down, everything in the image could be a reflection on the surface of water (bar the poking 'rock' tip). This would also account for the odd angle of the fence.

Back to the Levine #UFO photo. I boosted the background & found something interesting, maybe. No new colours added; all exist in the image. You can see what appears to be the relationship of the objects to the background hills/sky.
Are those aerial objects lower (& smaller?) than they seem at first?

Thankfully, powerful zoom lenses are now standard kit.

E.g., I'm pretty sure if I'd taken this photo in the 70s, rather than 3 years ago, it would've been hailed as convincing proof, especially when supported by the fact of its location: Not far from where Billy Meier took his now legendary UFO photos (as appear on Mulder's 'I Want to Believe' poster)

Revisiting my paranormal books from the 1970s, so many photos of ghosts/ufos/cryptids just don't stand up anymore. How quickly so many people, fueled by confirmation bias and unaware of logical fallacies, jumped to conclusions back then. And I suppose still do.

I was *really* into UFOs (and all manner paranormal stuff) as a kid, right into my 20s. Although I still love delving into supernatural topics (I even wrote a novel on the subject called Haunted), it was somewhat disappointing to develop critical thinking skills. But liberating too, of course.

That would certainly make more sense in terms of shadow depth.
