Hi, Ned! I checked out the pix on the website and read the police dispatch reports from Illinois.
As none of us know these eyewitnesses personally, we can surmise fiction rather than facts, but it is intriguing!

I'm interested because I once stood next to someone while he was seeing a UFO with windows, flashing "landing lights" and doing amazing maneovers.
This is more interesting to me! Did you know this person? Did you see the same thing that they saw? Did you feel any different? What was your conclusion?

What would be odd would be a clear, non-hoax photo of a genuine alien being or vehicle. That would be the odd thing. Crappy hoaxes are exactly what we would expect of the entirety of the "UFO" pehomenon.
In photography, is it possible to tell if a picture is genuine or a hoax...given todays technology?
