Quick, run for the hills! Photoshop aliens are coming to get us! 
Complete with funny writing - YIKES!  (Can anyone read alien??)
Save yourselves!
Sorry, but I can't take this sort of thing seriously. While it could be real (just as the moon could be made of cheese), my antennae suggest strongly that it is probably a load of BS.
The story of how the witness saw one so went to get his frend with a camera and went back the next day and found it again doesn't sound very plausible.
I am sure you have heard of disinformation.
And I am sure you have heard of photos being easily faked.

Did I ask if it was a real spacecraft? No....
Photoshopped or otherwise, what is it? |

I have to stand by everyone who included 'alien' in their response. Having said that, there is nothing to suggest it is designed to travel in space.
It is unquestionable though that this does not resemble any current known terrestrial vehicle or technology. It is a very safe assumption that it is designed to appear 'alien' regardless if in fact it is.
How can anyone say with any certainty that they know what this is? There are no props or jets, no visible method of propulsion. There is a smattering of 'writing' that does not seem to be of a known human language.
Best guess based upon the fact they returned another day with a better camera and 'found' the thing still mincing about the sky unchallenged and with no-one else jumping up and down and pointing = faked nonsense.
If you look at the visual noise and artifacts left around the 'wing' - this points to a straight paste with very rudimentary tidying up being done afterwards.

Apologies, Me, for any offence.
I thought the answer to your question would have been obvious from my response:
- it's a fake picture of a strange craft imo
What do you think it is?

To me it looks like it's some mundane article or part for something photographed in a way to make it appear strange and huge. I have a suspicion if you saw it in context it would turn out to be a bit off a hoover or something daft like that.
At any rate, I'd go so far as to say I'd bet that's not an alien spacecraft and so help me I'll join the labour party if anyone proves me wrong!

This image has created a bit of an underground buzz on the net. Also, I did mean to say “alien” spacecraft but omitted it on accident.
When I first looked at this photo I laughed because it sort of resembled a ceiling fan. I’ve been thinking about those blades too. Assuming that they were what was keeping this thing afloat by rotating you’d think that if they were spinning with any amount of speed the image would’ve appeared blurred. Instead you can see the detail and lettering on the underside clearly. This leads me to believe that this thing was stationary when photographed and was either photo-shopped or hung up by a line of some sort from various positions.
I did however by chance happen to catch a piece one the news today about a new spy drone in the testing phase being toyed around with by the police for surveillance purposes in Liverpool, England. While far from being identical, it does throw in another possibility to consider. The one that I saw tonight actually had four separate blades. I'm sure that this device could create just as much confusion for someone unaware of its purpose.
Notice the 'blurred' blades....

How difficult would it be to Photoshop an object behind tress and power lines like that and make it look right?

I saw this damn thing on TV last night. Someone jokingly photoshopped half of a lemon on top of those spikes and made it in to a juicer.

Weird Aerial Object Haunts California
| Quote: | At first, the super-clear pictures and the suggestion that one of the 'wings' on this odd craft had Klingon letters on it made seasoned UFO observers assume that it was a prank. But now additional photographs being received from independent sources by Dreamland science reporter Linda Moulton Howe suggest that it may not be a hoax. Or do they? Read on...
The original photographs were submitted by an individual who wishes only to be known as "Chad," and now additional photographs have been taken by (allegedly) another anonymous individualin Lake Tahoe, Ca. Both witnesses describe a low hum associated with the otherwise silent craft, and Chad also describes a crackling sound.
Howe writes on her Earthfiles.com website, "the sound described is consistent with electrostatic field discharges. Tesla coils, for example, give off electrostatic charges that crackle and hum."
The object is also described as moving like a skating spider sliding across a pond, which would be consistent with its being held aloft by something other than a conventional wing--for example, an electrostatic phenomenon. It's asymmetry and lack of rotors mean that it is not a conventional airborne craft.
It moves slowly and makes no apparent effort to conceal itself. Clear photos have been taken, or so it would seem, but sophisticated digital photo processes could achieve this effect.
Another possibility is that this might be a secret propulsion testbed of some kind being flown out of nearby Beale AFB, which is a center for advanced reconnaissance aircraft. If it is real, it could also be the workof a private inventor or company. If a digital effect, perhaps it is simply a hoax, or maybe a so-called 'viral marketing' program for some as-yet undisclosed media event like a new film or television program.
A technique that could be used to create an effect like this is called HDR Lighting. It's popular with 3-D modelers using 3-D Studio Max software because it enables them to insert entirely digital rendered objects into photographs almost flawlessly. The technique is described here.
If it is an artifact of an advanced alien civilization, it is making a completely different approach to us than has been seen in all prior UFO sightings. It is moving slowly over populated areas in broad daylight at low altitude and allowing itself to be photographed clearly and in detail. This would suggest that further and more extensive revelations will be pending. |

Engineer Comments About Odd Aerial "Drones"?
| Quote: | "The design strategy of charged ion / shaped plasma 'buoyancy' devices does
bear some relevancy here
For instance, the circular array of curved 'antennae' coming out of the
center of the device is very similar to a form of wave guide / shaping mechanism
for a charged plasma / ion field.
The very long extended arm could in fact be the power source - the other
short arms serve as counter-balance / stability mechanisms
With current nano-materials, for instance, the strength to weight ratio of
such a device would be vastly superior to earlier attempts at such designs
The circular / ring structure in the center would be the plasma accelerator
/ focal containment apparatus
And, also, with very much improved materials options currently available,
such as super / ultra conductive materials, the size and efficiency of a
modern design strategy for powering this sort of system would be very different
than that of earlier attempts at such
The implications for such advanced ionic / shaped plasma field buoyancy
experiments are many, and compelling

Note the above patent filing - this is only one of a variety of such
examples
As a reference point, I have a background in materials science, including
applied nanotechnology (having worked at both Lawrence Berkeley and Los Alamos National Laboratories).
It's my personal opinion that this is an advanced form of military remotely
piloted surveillance craft, having seen a number of examples of other
developments in this general arena of interest, perhaps the most interesting being the 'robofly' project that was at UC Berkeley a couple of years ago." |

Let's assume this thing exists. It is floating about the sky with no obvious means of propulsion. It is either one of our's or one of 'their's'.
Firstly, given its willingness to be photographed, why are there no videos of it - this is 2007?
Next, if the military own it and have access to such aerial technology, would they let it loose for all to see in a populated area?
Would they slap Klingon writing on to add a degree of 'it must be a hoax'?
Would such a craft need to look like a juice extractor?
Hoax, hoax, hoax. |

Shirley, Retired California Department of Developmental Services Mental Health Technician, Central Valley, California: “It was around May of 2005. And we had gotten lost about what road to take out of the Sequoias to get back on the right road heading home. I told my dad (now deceased), ‘Pull over. I’m going to talk with the Park Ranger and see if he can help us.’
Came over talking to this ranger. And while talking, this weird thing flew overhead. Never seen anything like it in my whole life!
I asked the Park Ranger, ‘What is that?’ And he very casually just went, ‘Oh, yeah, I’m told it’s some kind of communications device. It’s supposed to help the Park Service to monitor any possible problems like fires and such.’ That was pretty much his total explanation of what it was. |
