HDR Photos at Muiderslot Castle Spark Debate Over Tubular S-Shaped Object and Possible Explanations

To the point

Corrine Federer’s HDR photos from Muiderslot Castle appear to show a tubular, S-shaped object, Ben Hansen says there’s no obvious post-editing but he isn’t convinced it’s a plane and insects could explain it depending on shutter speed, Larry Engel notes insects are a common culprit with wide-angle or small-format cameras, and other possibilities include an airplane, a missile test, or a weather balloon, with Federer open to a UFO idea.

This UFO will make your skin crawl ... and so will some insects

Corrine Federer’s HDR photographs taken at Muiderslot Castle near Amsterdam appeared to show a tubular, S-shaped object in several frames, and after enhancing contrast she claimed to reveal the shape; Ben Hansen reviewed the raw files and found no overt post-editing but wasn’t convinced it was an aircraft, suggesting insects as a plausible explanation depending on shutter speeds, while Larry Engel from American University noted insects are a common culprit for such sightings with wide-angle or small-format cameras, with other possibilities including an airplane, a missile test, or a weather balloon, though Federer remained open to a UFO or extraterrestrial visitor.
