This Picture is the result of taking a picture through glass, it is clearly a reflection of a man holding a toy doll by the shoulder. do ya see it now? red suit, yellow boots, yellow gloves. need more help? the upper wing is the mans forearm leading down and grasping the shoulder, at the mans hand you can see the dolls arm pointing away from the mans grasp, see the yellow glove on the end of the dolls arm, the lower “wing” looks like the childs arm reaching up to the doll.

Honestly, legroof…a Sun Conure?

This photograph is laughable.

NightRyder- Excellent follow up work. Thanks for the info!

I was thinking at first that this was an otter, perhaps light refracted off of swamp gas, but yes, I think I can also agree with the idea that what is seen is a locust. The general shape seems to suggest that, and the info provided by some here concerning locusts in Argentina is compelling. Whether or not it’s actually a locust, it’s most certainly some type of insect.

Likely not a carnivorous flying mammal or 80 centimeters across anyway.

I did a little further investigation and came up with this : There is a locust indigenous to Argentina and surrounding areas of South America with some compelling descriptive evidence. It is known as the red-legged Schistocerca Cancellata Paranensis. Yes, its scientific name in the animal kingdom lol. As can be seen in the picture, the “ufo” exhibits a reddish/pinkish hue to its extremities as does the red-legged locust of Argentina. The infestation of locusts in Argentina is cyclical and during its heaviest reproductive massings there are simply hordes of these beasties all over the place. Me thinks I smell a “Georgia Hokey-Doke” with a South American flavor going on here. I propose that a one Fabian Romano “ghosted” his locust pic or got lucky intentionally trying to photograph the little bogey. I lean toward the intentional pic taking of a flying insect. Why else would there be no central theme or subject in the background of the picture other than the flying locust.

I’m thinking its a toy being dangled in front of the camera, similar to some of the supposed ghost footage that’s out there.

Interesting photo. I’m not going out on limb with this one, although if I absolutely HAD to hazard a guess, I’d say it was a closeup of an insect. But, one never knows. I’ll just sit back and enjoy the speculation. Nice picture of “angels,” by the way.

This could be wrong, but to me, the upper photo looks a little like a small, blurry, but colorful pterodactyl, with really, really long legs.

Though, I am absolutely certain, without any doubt, that the bottom picture is the angelic spirit of Kermit The Frog, ascending into Muppet heaven.

if it’s a Dimorphodon, then it’s not just a Dimorphodon, but some kind of Dimorphodon, compared to the long legs and the short legs of a Dimorphodon.

My guess wouldn’t bee a grasshopper or locust.

no antana is visible. if possible.

but still it could be some kind of unknown grasshopper or lucust.. possibley hybrid of the two.

but a Dimorphodon is on my top list of suspects.
the hybrid theory is in there too.
and the unknown type is in there 2.

and we can not rule out that it may not be any of the answer. but an unknown animal…

Carnivorous maybe..

now let’s settle this:

Carnivorous. How did the photographer know it’s Carnivorous?

Did He/she know the animal? and knows it’s known?
or
Does He/She know the animal and know it’s unknown to Science, and seen it eating meat?

like i said before, Some people may be breeding unknown species and/or having them as pets, without the public and scientist, and cryptozoologist knowing.

One thing I find highly suspicious…
I use Babelfish EVERYDAY and I have never seen something translate so “well” into English.
It is almost like the original text was written in English, translated into French and then back into English again. Just makes me wonder…

Otherwise, I agree with the posters that suggest a wasp-esque insect close to the lens…

Incidentally, I didn’t mean to imply that the interpretation of monkeys, birds, or Watto was especially bizarre or exotic. When I was talking about people wanting to see something exotic and projecting onto the ambiguous stimulus, I meant for example whoever came up with the unknown carnivorous flying mammal 80cm wide idea.
