Large formatted photos load pretty slowly.

And here's how the 'improved' blobs are presented as UFOs in a typical tabloid newspaper.

Here's another comparison of an original still to the modified "UFO version".

A fabricated (and patently bogus) "voice transcript" of Apollo-11 astronauts reporting seeing UFOs is often accompanied by one or more "blobby snowman" photographs, allegedly taken by Buzz Aldrin. In the two views shown here, actual stills from a movie sequence taken the day before the moon landing are
compared with published "UFO versions", which have apparently been contrast enhanced, airbrushed to remove extraneous reflections, and otherwise cosmetically "improved" to make a window reflection of an interior ceiling light into a "UFO". A full description of how these images were transformed is
found at http://hugin.imat.com/~sheaffer/texts/apollo11.html but the best refutation must come from viewing the actual original film, which shows all the images bouncing around in unison on the window as Aldrin tightens the mounting locknut in the right window frame of the Lunar Module. The film is included in the 1979 NASA-JSC compilation of misrepresented "UFO images", CL-862, and can be purchased or borrowed from NASA in Houston.
