- In November 2007 an aerial photo of a destroyed Syrian
nuclear site was released, on which I performed a brief photo analysis.
It is still not known to this day if this image is supposed to be an aerial
photo or a satellite image.
-
- Here is a quick review of the previous faked images.[1]

- Fig. 2 - Vectors clearly show problems with shadow
angles in impossible places in this 2007 photo on two opposite sides of
raised structures. Compare shadows of orange arrow and yellow arrows. This
isn,t possible with sunlight as the only light source.

- Fig. 4 - Enlargement of Fig. 3 recent photo before
applying analysis. At first glance everything looks normal.
-
-
- In Fig. 6, vector lines have been added to show
general sunlight originating from bottom of photo. Vectors were added which
align the edges of the shadows with the structure associated with the shadow.
Arrows on vector lines establish direction of sunlight:

- Fig. 5 Example of sunlight vector applied to
a building. Note how the vector line is parallel with the edges of the
shadow.

-
- Fig. 6 Graphics applied to some of the problem
areas in Fig. 4.
Red and green vectors should all be parallel.
-
-
- A number of anomalies exist in this photo which we shall
explore. The following is an explanation of graphics shown in Fig. 6.
-
- * Right side of photo shows a shadow on what appears
to be a dry pond with raised walls. We will use this structure as the reference
point for the photo, since it has two roughly parallel walls that clearly
give us the direction of sunlight. Note the red vector showing the direction
of sunlight across the structure. Enlarged area of the pond (see blue box)
shows the correct location for the pond,s shadow required for it to be
parallel with the green lines. Yellow circle shows the approximate location
of the shadow to match this object,s shadow with other man-made structures.
-
- * White circles show some of the shadows are considerably
larger than the structures which appear to have made them.
-
- * Orange circles show shadows that appear to be far shorter
than the apparent structures in front of them.
-
- * Green sunlight vectors appear to be generally parallel
for the shadow angles of various structures. But these do not parallel
the sun,s direction for the dry pond.
-
- It appears that dozens of buildings may have been pasted
into a desert image of a small town at various angles. Doing so would create
a certain air of authenticity for the Syrian nuclear location. This may
also explain the small, grainy, low-quality image. Intelligence agencies
can produce images of staggering quality that easily show someone reading
a newspaper from orbit. Yet this image contains several distorted areas
(blue circles.) These areas are not likely to be focus or JPEG compression
tile problems, since nearby areas of the same distance from the center
of the image are in focus.
-
- Military installations are usually laid out in orderly
city-block style, not helter-skelter at odd angles such as what we see
here. If this was a real location designed to use a town as a cover-up,
buildings would probably be constructed parallel or perpendicular to roads
and streets to more closely resemble a village or town. In Fig. 6 we see
numerous buildings, missing driveways or parking areas for vehicles. These
were not highlighted since the added graphics would make the image too
cluttered.

-
- Fig. 7 Falkirk, Scotland aerial photo shown at original
size. Vectors show that numerous buildings and trees at various angles
to the Sun produce the same shadow angles. [3] (Image of this city was
selected for both shadow clarity and various building angles and for no
other reason.)
-
-
- CONCLUSION
-
- If a photo of a "destroyed facility must be faked,
to conceal the location used to create the fake image it cannot resemble
any place on Earth. One could start with an aerial view of a desert town
and modify it. A desert would be a perfect setting for this because sand
is relatively featureless. If this is not done, someone may recognize the
village or town and expose the cover-up.
-
- So why was Fg. 4 faked? Perhaps this desert nuclear facility
never existed. The purpose of faking this image would be to stir up public
opinion against Syria as a nuclear threat. Often salesmen call this tactic
"planting seeds in a potential customer's mind. Something is mentioned,
but it sticks in the subconscious of a potential customer. This causes
a certain familiarity and fondness for it the next time this is mentioned
to the same person.
-
- Syria was third from the bottom of the threat list on
the decider,s "Axis of Evil 100 year war he bragged about back in
Sept. 2001. Perhaps Syria is being given top billing as the new target
for another pointless war in case no support for Iran can be found. Or
if Iran is deemed to difficult to obtain a quick win. Perhaps the next
false-flag attack will be blamed on Syria to justify the next war.
