they did always say though that they were completely alone and would definitely have noticed another person wandering that close to them. and they would definitely have waited for them to clear out before they took that photo. unless it was a slip of the finger or they are making it up.
i have always thought this was genuine because it`s quite a silly type of hoax otherwise. It`s possible that the photo came back and looked weird so they made up the story then it got out of hand and they had to keep going with it, but that seems more far-fetched than the potential truth of a mystery man. so it comes down to which far-fetched reality you are more comfortable with or being totally open-minded and undecided.
i'll admit, of all the "its a guy looking the other way theorys", yours has the best presentation by far.
the odd part is that you note it was some random guy walking around and the dude taking the picture didnt notice. but you can't have your cake and eat it to.
the dude who took the picture swore... not under oath... i dont think... that no one else was around. so either its an anomaly or hes a dirty liar!!!
i personaly think its an alien construct with an anti gravity belt. he paused for roughly half a second, wich is equal to an hour in there time, to pose for a picture when he was sapozed to be researching the near by military base.
for daralicksean of duty, ruining the dudes picture and exposing there extraterestrial presence on are planet, he was deprived of the super orgy for 3 days. wich is like a month or something in there time.
cuz they move realy fast and junk...
I would have to say that this video is, by far, the most enlightening, insightful, and interesting that I've seen trying to explain the Solway Firth 'spaceman' photo. Very well done!
this is a very good explanation. the only element you didn't address would be the fuzzy white almost-halo like mass around the head. when i first saw the picture, my eyes immediately interpreted it as someone's back, so i was a little confused by the idea that it was a visor. any ideas, however, for the white mass around the head?
I am not sure which white mass you are refering to, but the out of focus areas are subject to various effects caused by lens. This is known as "bokeh" and you can find out more about it here:

This is a significant factor when understanding the out of focus areas in a photograph.
