The weather conditions prevented the witness was looking too closely at the photo immediately.

“It was very hard to see the helicopter because of the glare on the screen. Later on that day when I was sitting in the shade I got my phone out to see how my picture had come out. That’s when I noticed the object in the photo.”

The witness did not see the other object while taking the photo. Iowa MUFON is investigating. The object could be any number of things from a second helicopter to a bird. Photo analysis should be able to pinpoint exactly what the object is.

  1. IOWA Fair witness should have said “I got a blur on my picture … “.

    If the witness didn’t notice anything at the time – then there wasn’t anything to see.

  2. PK was not there and is wrong!

    An object may or may not be visible to the eye or the camera.
    We will never get anywhere with flippant debunking like this.
