Hi everyone,

My neighbor came running over this morning, practically trembling, to show me a blurry photo he took of a glowing disk hovering over his shed last night.

He was convinced we were being visited by extraterrestrials, but the shadows in the image looked a bit suspicious to my eyes.

To give him a reality check without hurting his feelings, I suggested we check photo real or fake by looking at the metadata together to see if it was just a lens flare.

It turns out it was just a poorly timed shot of a reflection! How do you check photo real or fake?

Thanks in advance.
