 SGHA Research ~ Photograph analysis ~ Willow Springs Saloon

A digital image can be treated as a data set to extract information. This is the information that we extracted from a digital photograph taken during a investigation at the Willow Springs Saloon.

A digital image can be treated as a data set to extract information. Each pixel's intensity value is a measure of how much energy was used to generate it within the band of spectrum used to produce the image. The sum of the pixel intensities is a measure of the total energy used to create the whole image.The highest output of energy from the object in the photograph is the lighter "glow" of the eclipse. The Sesmimetric value of the "glow" is estimated at 78.Another oddity is that the "warm" area of the object is pushing away a cooler section of air.

Figure 2. Simulated Thermal Analysis Heat

Figure 3. Simulated Thermal Analysis Cold

The simulated spectrum analysis shows the objects intensity differs compared to its surroundings. An extended simulated thermal analysis suggests that energy is being emitted.

Surface Plot Analysis

The surface plots of the photograph clearly show that the strange object in the photograph is 3 dimensional and has thermal characteristics.

Hypothesis

The analysis of the photograph indicates that that the unusual object in the photograph is 3 dimensional and is dispersing some sort of energy. This could be an artifact of a electromagnetic cascade shower that has collapsed. The photons of the cascade are in the near IR to mid-IR range.
