UFO or LAMP?(http://www.ufocasebook.com/2015/osnaburgh-ontario-canada-large.jpg)
Seems UFO researchers are divided over this one :D

(Editor's Note: We need much more information on this particular photo. I suppose there is something on Facebook, but I am not going to hunt it down without a source. The photograph itself is quite compelling, but these days you never know for sure.
Obviously, the photo and related info was posted on the MUFON sighting list by UFO Stalker. If anyone else has additional information, please do let us know.)
From UFO Stalker
A man from Ontario posted a photo on Facebook. Using photo forensics, I could not detect anything that stood out as a fake. I've included the photo as an attachment.
Many people are saying fake, but that's not what the light layers and image data indicate. You're the only people I could think of to contact about this, MUFON Ontario's website is returning email.

I vote "Lamp". :)
My matrix provoked forensic mind says, were looking out a window at a lake with a ceiling light on inside the room the photographer is standing. As to what kind of light. That appears to be a ceiling fan light. Go to home depot and check out the ceiling fan department and see the designs.
This could be the reflection of an old wagon wheel chandelier.
I too go with lamp :D But it was timely looking like a glowing shield :D I find it sad that so many UFO researchers are pushing it a s real
Must be slow on the UFO front :P
If it were a ceiling fan, the blades should also be visible, doncha think? I have had and seen a lot of ceiling fans, but none looked like this. Would a reflection make it appear to be so large, as compared to the boat in the water below?? If this thing is a light, would it normally be the only thing in the room that made a reflection upon the window?? Should we be seeing other parts of the lighted room also being reflected, if the light is just a reflection??
How about the "light" that is visible in this thing - do you think that the general apparent orange-looking color of it is typical of general household lights? One can also note that the color of the "lightening" is not an orange/very off-white color, but is very white, and it too is in/around clouds similar to the noted "UFO".
To my eye, the seeable features on the outside of the circumference of this thing do not have the look of decoration. We can only see 2 of them but they do have a similar look, with some sort of holes or ports.
Oh well...................! :)
Any possibility that it might actually be a "STARGATE", just looking for a place to open up?? :)

Probably.
QuoteWould a reflection make it appear to be so large, as compared to the boat in the water below??
The apparent size of the reflected object is related to the distance the light travelled between the object and the camera, so if the camera was 20 cm from a window reflecting the lamp 3 metres away from the window the lamp would be 3.2 metres away from the camera and, depending on the lens and other factors, could appear as large or larger than that.
QuoteIf this thing is a light, would it normally be the only thing in the room that made a reflection upon the window?? Should we be seeing other parts of the lighted room also being reflected, if the light is just a reflection??
That depends on the difference between the light outside the possible window in front of the camera and the light inside the possible room where the camera was. If there's enough light outside you will only be able to see the brightest parts, the darker it gets the more of the lighted room you will see.
QuoteHow about the "light" that is visible in this thing - do you think that the general apparent orange-looking color of it is typical of general household lights?
Yes, maybe nor as orange as a traditional incandescence lamp (although it depends on the lamp's power, high power lamps appear less orange), but one of those compact fluorescent lamps with "warm" colour.
QuoteOne can also note that the color of the "lightening" is not an orange/very off-white color, but is very white, and it too is in/around clouds similar to the noted "UFO".
If the photo was taken close to sunset the ambient light would be more orange than the light from the lightning, but it doesn't look the same orange as the "UFO".

Never underestimate the strange ideas about decoration, I have seen very strange things in Portuguese homes. ;D

Maybe, I don't know how a real stargate, if they exist, is supposed to look. :)
To see if the orange was the same on the "UFO" and the sky I separated the image into the hue, value and lightness channels and changed the brightness of the hue channel to make the differences easier to see, and this is the result.

reflet d'un lustre dans une vitre... de ce genre probablement, on reconnait la structure en croix à l'intérieur.
(Reflection of a chandelier in a glass... Of this kind, we probably recognizes the structure in cross inside.)

Nightsky: "If it is a reflection then why are the low-lying clouds obscuring the object? "
Good question... :D
Robert Benson: "The original photo (or one of the originals), you could see something else reflected in the glass, which was rectangular and looked like a doorway or possibly window or velvet Jesus painting. Actually this is that photo. Look down towards the hills"

A small correction, it should be "of this kind probably, we recognize..." instead of "of this kind, we probably recognize..." :)

Precisely because it's a reflection on a glass, neither the reflection or the glass are opaque, so we can see the background through them.

It's hard to say.
Look familiar.

I'm going to submit this fake ufo to mufon and watch them fall all over themselves.
Maybe make up a story like this image was taken while looking across the street from my porch. I didn't see any light or craft but after importing the image to my pc, there it was.
