Fake, but very nice design. Call me when another one gets multiple military confirmations, which happens about once per decade. Now those are interesting. This is just a spiky photoshop I'll steal for my fanfics.

That looks like a Christmas decoration to me, one of the big ones that get stuck on top of large structures.

It's an obvious fake. I do 3D, so I can spot rendered lighting a mile away. There's zero chance this is real.

It's photoshopped, the lighting on it doesn't match the lighting on the rest of the photo.

It is a nice design though, I didn't look to see if it was Photoshopped or not but The design does bear a passable resemblance to a few recon drones I've seen on various metaphorical drawing boards, too asymmetrical/decorated to be a real military/experimental design, but I wouldn't be surprised if some one whipped up a flying model of the thing in their garage.

It's both fake, and is posted on the website of an 'investigator' with a reputation for being exceedingly credulous. Linda Moulton Howe . . . seriously.

I don't know why anyone takes these new clear pictures seriously in the age of Photoshop. As I've said before, there's a reason why pictures of UFOs were always hopelessly out of focus until Photoshop came along, and then they suddenly became crystal clear.
