Photography, when it first arrived on the scene, has always been used for displaying the truth and reality of things. Then Photoshop came along and everyone began pointing fingers at photographers with pictures that might be slightly unique, accusing them of retouching their photos. But who can blame them? The past has taught us not to be gullible because even what our very own eyes see before us can be a lie; we all must be skeptics of everything we see or else we’ll fall into the trap of greedy corporations or corrupt politicians. We can never be too safe, right? But what if…what if an unbelievable image surfaced of maybe something weird, like a ghost or a UFO, and it was REAL but we all shoot it down because we are convinced it was photoshopped. What if we miss out on some real important discovery because all this talk about altering photos has scared us away?

Photos like the one above that display something weird or inexplicable have surfaced on numerous occasions submitted by different people from all over the world for a long period of time. Every single time though, we just treat them as photoshopped pictures by people who are looking for their 15 minutes of fame and never for a moment consider the authenticity of it. I’m not saying that UFOs exist and aliens exist but we might just never know because time and time again, this “evidence” just gets shot down even someone analyzes it and says its real and untouched. It just makes me wonder, how much we are missing out on because of this photoshop scare. And I also find it funny that people to this day wonder if the man on the moon is constructed as well. What would the world come to if we couldn’t trust anything we saw?
