Strange shadow figure at Green Mountain?

[Skat3rat 1633]

I was running around green mountain about 20 minutes ago, on my way to meet friends at Balota when I saw a player.  I chased him for a little while but only would see him for a few seconds.  After chasing him for a little while I noticed that it didn't exactly look like a player.  I managed to get a few screen shots  but these two were the best.  

 

 

 

I'm thinking it might be an admin screwing with me but I don't know if admins can actually do this.  Has anyone else seen figures like this?

[Welch (DayZ) 756]

I don't see anything. You bullshittin' us?

I see both of them, I'd be scared shitless if that happened to me.

Yeah I'm still a bit paranoid from it right now lol.

[MasterShak3 154]

 Could it be? The figures depicted in the photos are one in the same.

[Welch (DayZ) 756]

I see it now, my brightness is shit. That's funky, dude!

Maybe an optical illusion, i'm not sure... green mountain is a weird place.

It's also where i'm hiding my Ural (Don't Tell)

And what server do you play on...?

[Skat3rat 1633]

Btw this happened on this server --> http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/143390-ca-1-california-dayzchernarus-1771-regular3donchon-gmt-7-anti-hax-auto-refuel-donator-loadouts-active-admins-great-community/

 

So if anyone wants to hop on the server, feel free to.  Like I said in my op, if anyone else has seen something like this figure, let me know.

This is very obviously fake. i don't even need to address the second screenshot at the "black figure" is exactly the same thing just pasted in.

 

 

 

 

1. zoomed into the figure to isolate.

2. enhance brightness

3. Clearly mark the trees profile

4. clearly show that the edge of the supposed entity is visible OVER the trees profile.

 

I REST MY CASE!

 

THIS WHOLE POST IS OUT OF ORDER!!

 

but nice try trying to advertise your server.

Awww! come on let us all dream a little :P  green mountain is a very scary place, :(

[Skat3rat 1633]

Awww I was hoping I could keep the myth going.  Oh well, good job busting it.

 

Here is the original shadow pic

 

 

I simply made it a thousand times smaller and "tried" to line it up properly.  Probably should of zoomed into it myself to check for that error.

Had I not screwed up with the first pic, how would you of gone about busting it?

the particular shade of black doesn't match the surroundings, the game wouldn't render such a dark blotch, and it would be effected by ambient lighting.

[Hetstaine 10852]

Yep, you needed to lower the opacity a bit. Always zoom right into your work like Grumpy has and look at it , if it does not fool you then it is not going to fool the interwebz ;)

This is obviously fake...
