Contradicted
By comparing satellite images, a Reddit user traced the photo back to two adjacent circular fields about an hour east of Colorado Springs, and Mick West noted that the shadows do not match a suspended object; there is no official determination, but Elizondo himself said he could not guarantee the authenticity of the photo. The same photo is case C-103, “explained.”
- Against or denials
- Identification of the image as irrigation circles (Reddit, Mick West); Elizondo replied that the photo had been given to him by a private pilot that same morning and that he could not vouch for its veracity, adding that, although he always admits his own mistakes, this was not one of those cases.
