It is stupid to think that we are the only life forms. We are such a tiny, minute part of the universe and are insignificant. There has to be more out there then just us.

If you have any experience in photography, it's easy to see why: if you shoot an object against a clear, well-lit sky as is the case here, and the sky is properly exposed, the object you're shooting will become very dark to pitch black.

You must have considerable experience as a photographer. The lighting effect you mentioned seems only to apply when the sun is quite low in the sky.

Here is a picture of a helicopter from below. Well lit, clear sky no brighter than sky in the pictures in question.


Here is a picture of a helicopter from below, and the lighting effect you mention does show up here. But notice how low the sun is in the sky.


As far as I can tell, your explanation doesn't hold up so well.

On the contrary. Take a second look at the first pic you posted as an example. You'll see that the bottom of the helicopter is very badly lit, lacking lots of detail. The only areas where you can see detail and color is on the sides of the helicopter (keep in mind that the profile of the 'copter is much higher than that of the supposed spacecraft, therefore, the sides are larger and a larger area is available on the heli that catches light from the sky).

On the UFO pics, there is plenty of detail in areas that cannot possibly lit by the sky. I'd say my explanation holds up very well and the photos you posted actually are a very good illustration!
