Chipping Norton UFO proven Fake

Earlier this year media outlets from across Australia and infact the globe were over-run by a news story of a mother who was coming home from a friends house in the Sydney suburb of Chipping Norton when she saw something in the night skies.

The lady, Fiona Hartigan, pulled her PT Cruiser to the side of the road and exited her vehicle picking up her IPhone as she made her way onto the street to snap five photos in the space of 28 seconds.

The photos (attached for your convienience) showed not just an unexplainable black dot in the middle of the screen, but a yellow/orange smudge of light and two seperate orbs.

Australian media were crawling over themselves just to speak to the lady who some how was able to catch the phenomenon on camera, radio interviews, on screen interviews, front page of all major newspapers in the country all to speak the lady who had had the out of the world experience.

However after months of deliberation, arguing amongst skeptics and believers, indepth investigations and sometimes personal attacks on the internet Ms Hartigan and her UFO experience has been proven as a hoax.

While the images looked impressive to begin with being plastered on television screens and in the printed media further investigations into the nature of the images immediately began to unravel Ms. Hartigans version of events.

"I wanted to take a photo of the sun set." Hartigan said.

"I pulled over to the side of the road, got out of my car and leaned on the bonnet and began to take the photos." Hartigan told popular news paper The Daily Telegraph.

However closer investigation of the photos clearly shows a reflection of Ms. Hartigan's dashboard meaning the photos were taken from inside the vehicle.

Another claim made by Ms. Hartigan was immediately disproven when UFOlogists came in on the investigation.

"A bright yellow or orange light began to shine from out of no where" Hartigans initial report stated.

However upon viewing the photographs in question and the location of the experience experts immediately dismissed this claim sighting the fact that in the exact location of the yellow light in the photos was a street light - despite Hartigans claims on internet forums no street lights were around.

The final telling moment of the photographs was two "orbs" that appeared in the photos, these ultimately turning out to be birds.

The "UFO" shown in the photographs was deemed by professionals to be a dot of mud, or dirt on the windscreen of Ms. Hartigans PT Cruiser.
