Opinion on the Richland, Pennsylvania, Photograph.
I am very familiar with photoshop and its abilities to apply filters and such, after reviewing the image and applying the filters, I was not able to determine anything that would help in determining what this object is, other than what it looks like right off the bat, which is a bird in flight, this is my opinion. Upon doing a little bit of research, I found that the Mourning Dove is a bird that is naturally found in the area, you can follow this link for more information about this... http://gbbc.birdsource.org/gbbcApps/report?cmd=showReport&reportName=CitySummary&city=Richland&state=US-PA&year=2008 And from that, I found some pictures online of this bird, and somehow it seemed to fit with some of the details of the photo. I made my notes right on the photo to simplify my thoughts.
Opinion on the Hunter's Point, California, Photographs
The photographs from Hunter’s Point, do not seem to be right, something is off with those pictures, the object does not seem to be originally in the picture, or could possibly be something wrong with the camera that shot it. I can do further research into them if you would like, but just from looking at them and zooming in on them, the object does not seem to fit with the surroundings, and the light source is off, again, these are just my opinions.
Opinion on the Rufford Canal, West Lancashire, UK Photograph
This is definitely something that was caught by the camera, as the pixelation surrounding the object matches perfectly with the surrounding pixelation, the lighting is correct which apparently shows a shadow underneath the object, so I would immediately rule out someone playing tricks with Photoshop. This one appears to be a metal type object, in my opinion, copper in color (goldish perhaps), I applied a 500% smart sharpen to get this image, and when you zoom into it, you can notice a distinct whitish contrail-type of thing, but not entirely sure of what it might be. There appears to be some sort of, white in color, trail behind the image leading towards the bottom left of the image. If this trail was going from right to left (appearing and emanating from the left side of the object), it would indicate that this object is moving towards the right, but I think it's actually moving towards the tornado, and not away from it, which is kind of strange, since the whitish trail actually seems to emanate directly from under the entire object and stretching slightly to the bottom left. I kinda of hate to say or even suggest this, since the source sounds legit, but, this could also be a movement blur from an object being thrown towards the tornado, and then someone snapping a picture of it, and the object being copper in color, could mean it's a coin of some sort or possibly a stone or rock. I know it’s really hard to say for sure what this object is, is it a UFO, well I would have to say yes, it is unidentified, it is flying and it is an object... is it ET visitors checking out a nearby weather event? I'm not sure about that one. If I was to keep my suggestion terrestrial, I would say it's some sort of coin, metallic, or smooth stone type object being thrown towards the tornado then someone shooting a picture unfortunately, or even someone shooting the picture and by chance this object was caught as someone was throwing something towards the tornado, which could also be the answer here.
A big thanks to Allen Rogers (pseudonym) for sending in his opinions on the photographs above.
