以前に撮った写真のデータ整理をしていたら、撮った覚えのないものが写っていてビックリということがよくあることです。

特にUFOや宇宙人なんぞが写っていようものなら……。

そういう写真の一枚がこれ。

写ってる、写ってる、光の棒みたいなものが。

これは葉巻型？スティック型？キセル型？

強いて言えば、その、フィンガーチョコ型。

拡大して画像解析した写真ですか？

やはりフィンガーチョコ型、いや、五家宝（ごかぼう）型？

なんかこういうお菓子を見たことがある……。

この写真は、LATEST UFO SIGHTINGSの2018-09-12に出ていたもので、テキサス州に住む小学校教師、マルセリーノ・カスティーヨさん（もしかしたらマルチェリーノかも）が撮ったもので、やっぱりデータ整理中に見つけたものです。

撮影自体は2年前で、彼がメキシコに向かう途中で撮ったもの。当時、空の光に気づいたが、それが飛行機だと思いつつ、夕焼けを撮りましたところ、2年後の今、データ整理中にこれを見つけて、こんなものが写っていたのかとご本人が驚きます。

でも気がふれたと思われるのを恐れて、カスティーヨさんはこの写真を公表しませんでした。フォトショップなどで作れるから、こういうものには懐疑的であったわけだが、ついに彼自身がこんなものを撮ってしまったものだから、急きょ、カスティーリョさんは「こういうことはありそうにないことでもない」と、方向転換。

今では自称、ＵＦＯビリーバーとなったカスティーリョさんです。懐疑的な人でも、自分で目撃しなくても、こういうのが撮れてしまうと、ビリーバーになる可能性があるという事例です。

School Teacher In Texas Shares Picture Of UFO Sighting Near Laredo
September 12, 2018

After years of his strange sighting near Laredo, an elementary school teacher is finally coming forward. San Antonio resident Marcelino Castillo said that he was cleaning out his photo drive when he saw the picture again. It was the time he decided to share it on Facebook finally. The photograph reportedly shows a sunrise with a strange rectangular object hovering in the sky 30 minutes north of Laredo.

Castillo said he was traveling to Mexico when he took the photo a couple of years ago. He stated that when he first noticed the light, he believed it was a plane, but he just took a picture of the sunrise. When he zoomed in, he thought right there that he got an incredible picture.

Castillo said that he did not share the photo with anyone for fear they would think he was crazy.

He was skeptical about sightings like he snapped with all the photoshopping and other technologies people do nowadays. However, when it happened to him, it suddenly not far-fetched, according to Castillo.

Now, Castillo is a self-proclaimed believer. He encourages anyone who sees something like that to bring it out as it could help somebody to open his or her mind about the existence of UFOs.

Elementary school teacher decides after many years to finally release photo of UFO he sighted near Laredo, Texas
// September 11th, 2018 // News

A Texas elementary school teacher has come forward with a photo of a UFO he took around 2014. Marcelino Castillo, of San Antonio, worried about releasing the photo for fear people would “think I was crazy” but says he ultimately decided to share the stunning picture on Facebook.

Castillo says he was about 30 minutes north of Laredo, Texas when he noticed an odd, rectangular object moving slowly across the sky. He thought it was an airplane but decided to take a picture anyway to capture the beautiful sunset. Afterward, it became clear the object was not an airplane. Castillo says the sighting made him a “believer”.

“With all the technology and Photoshopping people do nowaday, I’ve been skeptical about sightings like these, but when it happens to you… bam. Suddenly it’s not so far-fetched.”

In retrospect, Castillo wished he had released the photo sooner.

“It’s an experience I don’t know if I’ll ever experience again. If you see something like that, by all means, bring it out. It surely could make a difference for somebody to be a believer.”
