Fake UFO Photos

Want to know how to manufacture your own UFO photos? Tom Callen  reveal how he uses UFO models he creates using white soap, a hobby knife and sanding and spray paint and super glue. Hollywood uses the similar tricks on their special effects shoots .

 
After the model is created, he shows you how, using a neutral background  to photograph a “cut out” that allows one to super impose the model UFO into any photograph you want it to appear in. He also shows how he introduces blur and horizontal motion to simulate reality as well as foreground objects.

You’ll need that and other neat tricks to make a photograph believable to fool the experts.
