JULY 6TH, 2014 UFO OVER MILAN DEBUNKED

A bizarre looking UFO event has taken place in the skies over Milan, Italy on July 6th, 2014. What appears to be a very high flying highly reflective UFO has beencaught on HD video.

The video itself may give clues as to what we are seeing in the video.  Two cameras were used in the supplied video . The first is a Sony Handycam HDR-PJ260 and for the second half the video it was a Canon EOS 60D digital camera set for video camera mode. The Canon EOS 60D provides the superiorimages of this event. I have focused on the Canon video for this article.

A little about the camera involved

The 9-point AF system on the new EOS 60D features f/5.6-sensitive cross-type focusing on all nine focusing points. The center AF point is a hybrid of standard cross-type and special diagonally-shaped “X” cross, with high-precision sensitivity for f/2.8 and larger aperture lenses.  Available for the first time in an EOS camera are Canon’s new creative image filters. Familiar to Canon PowerShot users, these fun photo effects help make a great image more dynamic, even after it has been shot. Canon provides four artistic filters that allow photographers to capture an image and then create and manipulate a digital copy of it.

The of interest to us in this UFO video is the filter called “Soft Focus Effect Filter”. The Soft Focus effect filter helps dramatize an image and smooth over shiny reflections.

Here is an example of what the soft focus effect has on light colored object.

The cameras aperture is also of interest to us when analysing this video. Aperture, like ISO, controls two things.  It controls the depth of field and the amount of light entering the lens.  Depth of field refers to how much of the subject is in focus. A shallowdepth of field leaves some of the subject out of focus, while a larger depth of field means that the foreground and background are both in focus.  The camera’s aperture is the hole or opening in the lens that allows light through.  This hole can get bigger or smaller depending on the camera’s settings.  The sizes of the opening are known as f-stops, hence the “F”. F-stops average from f/2.8, f/4.0, f/5.6, f/8.0, f/11, f/22.

In Canon’s literature it makes reference to the F/2.8 as being the optimum aperture setting and that it accommodates even larger aperture settings. In the image below take a look at what a aperture of F/2.8 looks like. Make note of the shape of the opening (the aperture).

This video is obviously a case of optical aberration combined with the “Soft Focus Effect Filter”. This  yields the effect you see in the video. The hexagonal shape of the aperture comes into play when the light coming into lens bounces around the optic glass due to impurities in the optics. In bright light situations you can see the shape of the aperture due to optical aberrations in the glass. that would explain the similar shaped reflections you see off the UFO.

One of the more interesting clues that sheds some light on this UFO mystery is the fact that July 6th, 2014 was a Sunday. According to Italian tradition. Most weddings were held on Sunday as it is considered the “luckiest day” for the bond of matrimony. 

What the most likely thing we are seeing in the video are wedding balloons released during a wedding ceremony.

Obviously this is just speculation on what the UFO could be. But it is a plausible explanation that has the benefit of being simple and does not require extraordinary events to have occurred. Occam’s razor may being dull and boring but is almost always right. The original photographer needs to come forth and inform us of the exact camera settings were used and provide the original rawvideo for a more in-depth analysis. Otherwise all things point to it being wedding balloons.
