I have lots of UFO photos

Usually I throw the UFO photos away. I already know that they come from having a filter or two on the lens and a reflection is set up giving me an odd lenticular craft in the sky. Nearly all of those photos are of the out-of-focus fuzzy quality that are the stock in trade of believers. If I come up with one that's really good, I'll save it. So far, nothing worth saving. The IR images are the best. Blown out pixels on an IR camera can be very interesting. Cameras with 3-4 leaves to set the aperture rather than the many more that one finds in a high quality lens lead to those triangular or rectangular UFO's. Just throw a bright object in a night time photo out of focus and you can make your own images for the conspiracy sites. I don't think they'll pay you anything for them.
