An Unidentified Flying Object accidently photographedlast month above the skies of Muiderslot Castle, amedieval monument built in 1285 near Amsterdam inthe Netherlands, set the internet abuzz this week.

After much speculation on the authenticity of thepictures, experts now suggest that though the video isnot fake or doctored, there is perhaps an explanation

to what can be seen in the picture.

The picture in question was clicked on 25 May by Corinne Federer who was visiting the historicbuilding with her mother. Federer wrote in her blog that she was shooting the picture on HighDynamic Range when she came across the bizarre object.

"I was shooting with a very wide angle lens Nikon 14-24 which can capture quite a large scene. It wasshot with a Nikon D800 with is a 36mp camera so also very detailed when blown up. I was also

shooting HDR which means I was taking multiple exposures at once. In this case it was 5 exposures,"43-year-old Federer, wrote on her blog site.

Speaking further about what she saw, Federer told Huffington Post: "It was a tubular-shaped objectthat had an S-shaped fin on it. If it had been any type of missile, it would've had multiple fins, butfacing the same direction. We heard nothing, it was completely quiet out. The more I flipped throughthe frames, it was kind of creepy."

I looked at the image information -- at the shutter speed -- and (the object) was blurred at 1/250th ofa second, so it had to be going superfast, she added.

Once Fedrer got back home, she adjusted the picture to boost the blacks and shadows so as tofurther clarify the mystery object.

When experts were questioned by Huffington Post regarding the video, it was confirmed that thepictures have not been tampered with.

"Having reviewed the raw files, there's no overt indication that the photos have been manipulated withpost editing software," Ben Hansen, the lead host of Syfy Channel's "Fact or Faked: ParanormalFiles," told Huffington Post. When asked what he thought of the object seen in the image, Hansensaid it is perhaps an insect that we are looking at.

We typically see many wing protrusions on insect rod cases, but they do come in the single pairvariety, too. It all depends on the shutter speeds and motion of the insects." In fact, Hansen pointedout that in one of the images, on the right side of the sun, a disc-shaped object can be seen.

"I found another object. To the right of the sun, we see a slender, almost disk-shaped object thatappears to have no protrusions. Hmmm," he said.

"When I look at the amazing photography which captures the night sky in long exposures, and youcan see how many stars are out there, I think there's absolutely no way that we're alone, he added.

Which Came First, the Chicken or the Egg?

Watching an episode of the 1966 Time Tunnel tv-series made me think. Inthe opening sequence a senator arrives by private jet to a small, desolateairport in the Nevada desert. He is picked up by a large car and they drive foa while to an undisclosed location. A man in a suit riding with the senator geton the mobilephone and calls Tic-Toc base asking permission to enter. Soon a secret

hidden door opens and the car drives down the ramp to an undergroundmilitary base where the time tunnel is hidden from the world. A vaguelysimilar story Bob Lazar circulated in the late 80s and early 90s was that heworked as a physicist at Area 51s S-4, also at a secret underground militarybase in the Nevada desert.

Lazar alleges that the S4 facility is located nearthe Papoose Range within Nevada's Nellis AirForce Test Range, and is accessed via a dirtroad. The details that Lazar provided regardingS4 are very non-specific, with Lazar having statedthat he was transported in a blacked-out bus tothe site which did not allow him to see thelandscape.

Lazar claims that the S4 base proper contains nine aircraft hangars built into the side of the mountainrange, with hangar doors constructed on an angle matching the slope of a mountain. The doors to thehangars are camouflaged with natural material to blend in with the side of the mountain and theadjoining desert floor. He claims the site is protected from all view, being located within a valley.Inside these hangars are, according to Lazar, the laboratories and scientists studying extraterrestrialspacecraft.

Did Lazar, or others claiming to have worked in secret underground bases merely fabricate a storyusing bits and pieces of the science-fiction TV shows that they grew up with or, were these individualstelling the truth?

Could have it have been that the producers of the Time Tunnel (or other shows of the era) took thepersonal accounts of former military personnel and incorporated these themes into the science-(fiction) series of this era of television?

What do you think? -Bob
