We can only see the camera result, not the human eye.
I think this photo is genuine, but the interpretation is wrong as far as wishing this to be an alien craft or a 'black' US project.
I think therein lies the problem. Some hoax explanations seem partially or superficially correct whilst having very big holes in them. On the other hand, there's lots of testimony (which is not evidence, I grant you) about this being real, a lot of which we can speak about in the Q&A.
The answer might lie with the witnesses, and believe you me, we've tried (and are still trying) to find them. Until and unless we do, I'm still a bit on the fence (in the foreground!). Cheers.
