Description: From Eric Vasallo This photo is from a house owner who took the picture for landscaping purposes. It seems a creature appeared the moment she took the picture. There's a blurry trail behind the creature, and it seems to be looking right at the person who took the picture. She has no pets and the home is fenced in. She's even looked through the grounds to see if she could find this strange turtle with spiked armor. We don't know what it is. Some people have mentioned that it may be a reptilian species of aliens. This isn't a joke. [The picture was taken] in early October in Miami Shores, Florida.
I studied this photo for a long time and cannot quite figure out what I'm looking at. Is it part lawn ornament, part plants? Is it a Photoshop hoax? Any ideas out there? -- S.W. Eric responds: There were no planters in her pool area. She only has a small indoor dog as a pet, and in the other pictures she took of the same area on the same roll the creature is NOT in the picture. So did this said planter just disappear? As I said before, the owner of the home is an older French businesswoman, succesful and has no reason to make this up. She asked that her name be kept anonymous and has not benefitted from this monetarily in any way, nor have I. She also is very freaked out about it, almost to tears when she got the roll of film developed and saw the image. Also, if you look at the original picture there seems to be a long blurry trail coming from the left of the turtle hovering in front of the bushes and that is not on the left side of the same pool.
