Because surprisingly enough, many people do!

I shouldn't doubt it. Another fellow at work got really mad at me one day. I told him that I had a photo of a flying saucer that I shot in my back yard (yes, that is my back yard in the photo). Before I could say another word, he was off and running with tales of flying saucers he'd seen and other paranormal tales. It was when I showed the photo that he got really upset.
I've posted that photo to MR before, but you can see it
here. And no, it isn't digitally enhanced. I shot the photo before I ever had a digital camera or scanner with a 35mm film camera. (I won't say that frame wasn't double-exposed, however.)
I'm kind of proud of that photo, although I can do much better than that today with PhotoShop. It was inspired by an old Mickey Mouse Club recurring segment my sister made me watch as a child (I preferred Howdy Doody) where the Mouseketeers would travel through the air in a similar vehicle. I've noticed that my photo has even been linked to on
another website (Post #4; click to see spoiler)!
