UFO flyover during Obama's inauguration
.

The question is: are these aliens peacenik pinkos, delivering an intergalactic endorsement of universal brotherhood, or foreign policy hawks scouting for an invasion? Time will tell.

I think they're after our Takumars.

One thing is sure: they'll have to pry my 77 limited from my cold dead hands (or smoldering, death-ray incinerated hands, as it may).

I think they were looking for a few good politicians to abduct.

As for specifically which ones, I'll leave that to you to determine for yourself.

Let us not be hasty. Perhaps they are bringing us more Takumars. In which case I, for one, welcome our new alien overlords.

Sure hope this is true and they have a bunch of EX+ Super-Tak 85/1.9s with original caps and case.

UFO? It's a frigging bird flying by. Now it's an IFO - Identified Flying Object.

seriously. if even aliens prize Takumars, what other evidence does one need to prove that these are the greatest lenses ever made? I also welcome them.

I think it's a trailer for the new Block Buster SF movie: "The Day the Earth Took Pills".

Nah it's an Unidentified Flying Olympus that even with the crop factor couldn't get a good shot of the distant action. The owner tossed it.

Maybe this is the REAL source of those radioactive 50s and 35s.

They were originally created by aliens. No one on earth had the technology to create them that's why they are so good.
The aliens don't want our Takumars, they want them back!

After close inspection, that was certainly NOT a bird...What ever it was, when freeze framing, it certainly is enigmatic.
