WTF

One of the only ramp images of groom lake aka area 51.

Only things we have that can chase down a UFO.

Genius! An attitude stabilizer to keep the craft from landing inverted.

I heard about that on the radio this morning! Surely that's not a real cat...

I heard about that on the radio this morning! Surely that's not a real cat...

I believe so:

 

[ND4SPD]

That's just downright creepy.

 

[CodeRedR51]

That's just downright creepy.

+1

 

[Wiegert]

That's just downright creepy.

My friend showed me the original video yesterday which I found amusing, but it was all in Dutch, so I had no idea that the cat was real until a few moments ago.

 

[Beerz]

That's just downright creepy.

...and disgusting.

 

[Madertus]

Holy sh...ould we count this as animal abuse?

I'm still laughing, I'm DEFINITELY going to Hell.
(not that I wouldn't go without that)

 

[Danoff]

I'm telling you guys, this is brilliant. That helicopter cannot help but land on its feet.

 

[Horde_R35]

Horrible. 👎

 

[Danoff]

I'm sure they didn't kill the cat for this purpose. What's the problem with using a stuffed cat for this?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Stuffed animal cat? Sure.

Real/Dead cat? No thanks.

 

[Bopop4]

Possible Ace Combat cover shot

Is that real?!?

And at all of the aircraft pictures.
And lol at the cat, I initially though that it was alive when it was flying.

 

[PeterJB]

Stuffed animal cat? Sure.

Real/Dead cat? No thanks.

A stuffed cat IS a dead cat.

Stuffed animal cat:

They're playing the Airwolf theme song.

 

[FoolKiller]

I don't get the negative reaction to using a dead cat. Either you just see an animal, far from human or you see them as equal to humans with some sort of soul or what not, but since it's dead that is no longer the cat, just a shell.

Besides it is no different than sending human ashes on a rocket, to float back down and burn up in the atmosphere, or mixing human ashes into concrete that is molded into artificial reefs to rebuild sea habitats. Or he'll, dumping them off a cliff or tall landmark.

Yo I heard you like HD photos from the past

This one really stands out to me for some reason

Imagine: you're walking through town on a nice, sunny day, when suddenly, this big 🤬 thing.

Tons more like this can be found on this reddit thread and at my new favorite website to kill time, Shorpy

Also, airplane.

Aircraft carriers never cease to amaze me. To work on the flight deck is one the the craziest jobs in the world. These things are just massive.

I’ve been meaning to post this here ever since I posted a few of these in the abandoned car thread and someone suggested to put them here. They certainly qualify.

These pictures were taken by Troy Paiva, also know as Lost America, a night photographer that specializes in “colouring” with light. His pictures are also interesting because he has a real fascination for decay and abandoned stuff and places, so he goes out at night searching for… stuff to photograph, be it an abandoned gas station in the middle of the desert, junkyards full of abandoned cars or inside abandoned buildings or instalations.

And he’s freaking good at what he does, as he’s been light painting for more than 20 years. So combine night experience and an extraordinary eye for composition, surreal colors and way surreal locations, and the sensory overload is immense.

These are not Photoshop creations, people, everything is done in-camera. Yes, I’m talking about the colors.

Please go and check out his website, it’s got more of the same and more, including a “technique” section. Also go to Flickr and say hi, Troy is a way cool down to earth guy and talks to everyone that approaches him. Been there done that.

My place is full of mosquito's and I don't have a view or a pool like that. I'd gladly exchange!

Especially in about 5 months.

Just cool!

I foresee a name that movie barrage...
